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.

Exclamation UPDATE: The burning X5 issue (bad pun)

Here is the URL of the website that was set up to pass the word along.

Freaky stuff... guess they'll have to do like the old RX7s and build a fire extinguisher system into the engine compartment with a remote mounted switch in the passenger compartment.

I lucked out as my X5 was in for service the day this was issued. Parts are supposed to be in this week.
