X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003.

Since I'm the first one in I'll fire things off. Just picked up the Monster from having a little work done. Tell me what you think!

I like it. X5 is a great truck... especially in the 4.4L V8 version. I got to auto-x one when BMW was here in Hallandale. I scored the 2nd fastest lap time in the X5. That thing was hella fast... especially when the pros were behind the wheel.

I used to think the V8 version had the M5 engine but I was kind of dissapointed when I found out it was "only" a 4.4 . It looks great though. Especially the 4.4 one, it looks very aggressive.
