BMW xDrive40d, xDrive35i, xDrive25d, sDrive25d were to be added in December 2013. [8]
The X5 arrived in US showrooms in 2013. Early models include sDrive35i, xDrive35i, xDrive50i, followed by xDrive35d in early 2014, [9] [10] and the xDrive40e, a plug-in hybrid variant in 2015. [11]
The BMW Concept X5 eDrive is a plug-in hybrid concept vehicle version of the X5 with kidney grille slats, air intake bars and the inlay in the rear bumper in the BMW i Blue colour; Silverflake metallic body colour, xDrive all-wheel-drive system, specially designed roof rails, a connector for the charging cable that lights up during charging, 21-inch light-alloy wheels in an exclusive aerodynamically optimised design, a four-cylinder BMW TwinPower Turbo combustion engine and a 70 kW (94 hp) electric motor developed by the BMW Group, a charging cable stored in the load area below the flat storage compartment and BMW ConnectedDrive with Remote app. The electric motor can be driven at top speed of 120 km/h (75 mph). The battery mode has an all-electric range of 30 km (19 mi). [12]
The vehicle was unveiled at the 2013 Frankfurt International Motor Show. [13] The production model was named BMW X5 xDrive40e. [11]
The BMW Concept X5 Security Plus is an armoured version of BMW X5 xDrive50i with protection level VR6, with armoured passenger cell constructed from high-performance steel mouldings and panels, sealed joints, security glass, Intelligent Emergency Call system and optional BMW ConnectedDrive.

The BMW M performance derivative of the F15 X5 is designated F85 and was released in 2015. Its S63B44T2 4.4-liter V8 engine has 423 kW (567 hp) and 553 lb⋅ft (750 N⋅m) of torque, making it the most powerful engine ever developed for an all-wheel drive BMW at the time. The engine has M TwinPower Turbo and Valvetronic technologies, to deliver a 0–100 km/h (62 mph) time of 4.2 seconds. [17]
An M-tuned xDrive all-wheel drive system provides traction. It distributes drive between the front and rear axles, while Dynamic Performance Control distributes torque between the 21-inch M Double-spoke light-alloy wheels. [17]
The BMW X5 xDrive40e is the first plug-in hybrid released under the core BMW brand. The use of BMW's eDrive technology on the established X5 platform is a direct technology transfer from the BMW i cars, in particular, from the BMW i8 technology. [11]
The X5 xDrive40e features a 2.0 L turbocharged gasoline engine 180 kW (241 hp) coupled to a 83 kW (111 hp) electric motor and a 9.0 kWh battery.
The production of the plug-in hybrid variant was scheduled to begin in April 2015. [11] [18] [19] Retail deliveries (US) began in October 2015. [20] Pricing started at US$62,100 (equivalent to £40,365 [21] ) before applicable US government incentives. [22]
The US EPA rated the X5 xDrive40e combined city/highway fuel economy at 68 mpg‑US (3.5 L/100 km; 82 mpg‑imp) equivalent (MPG-e) in all-electric mode (energy consumption of 59 kW-hrs/100 mi). The fuel economy in gasoline-only mode was rated at 24 mpg‑US (9.8 L/100 km; 29 mpg‑imp). EPA's all-electric range is 14 mi (23 km) with the car using some gasoline, and as a result, EPA's official range varies between 0 and 14 mi (0 and 23 km). [23]
BMW introduced the sDrive rear-wheel drive system with this generation of X5. sDrive aimed to increase agility over traditional rear-wheel drive SUVs. [24]
The BMW X5 has been made into emergency response vehicles with the engines sDrive25d, xDrive30d and xDrive40d.
The vehicle was unveiled at the 14th RETTmobil trade fair in Fulda (xDrive30d). [25]
The new generation BMW X5 is 5 mm (0.2 in) wider, 26 mm (1.0 in) longer and 14 mm (0.6 in) lower than E70, but wheelbase remains at 2,933 mm (115.5 in). At the front F15 takes design from F30 3 Series while at the back it's similar to other current X series models. The interior now features 10.25 inch display. The exterior, designed by BMW designer Mark Johnson, was approved in November 2010 and production finalised in 2011. [26]
BMW claims the new X5 is made of ultra-high-tensile steel in the body structure, thermoplastics in the side panels, aluminium in the bonnet and magnesium in the instrument panel support to make the new BMW X5 lighter. Depending on the model, the new X5 is as much as 90 kg (198 lb) lighter than a comparably equipped corresponding model from the previous X5 generation. [27]
In 2013, model-specific BMW Individual options were added to the optional extras already available for all engine variants of the new BMW X5. Options included BMW Individual fine-grain Merino leather trim in Criollo Brown and Amaro Brown (stitching and piping in a contrasting colour and decorative perforations on the seat surfaces), BMW Individual interior trim strips in Piano Finish Black and Sen Light Brown fine wood, 20-inch BMW Individual light-alloy wheels in V-spoke design with mixed tyres and additional body colours (Mineral Silver, Glacier Silver and Imperial Blue diamond effect metallic paint variants; BMW Individual finishes Ruby Black metallic and Pyrite Brown metallic).
New for the F15 X5 was a high-end Bang and Olufsen premium surround-sound system, which included sixteen speakers, a 5.1-channel external amplifier, and metal speaker grilles. In addition, a Harman Kardon premium audio system, also featuring sixteen speakers and a 600-watt amplifier, was also available as an upgrade to the standard nine-speaker "Hi-Fi" audio system.
Traffic Jam Assistant option for Driving Assistant Plus, improved BMW Parking Assistant (accelerator, brake pedal, gear shift controls) became available for BMW X5 from December 2013. [28]
For the 2018 model year, all F15 X5 models were equipped with the new BMW iDrive 6.0 sixth-generation infotainment system, which included a touchscreen display for the first time in addition to the iDrive controller in the center console. Wireless Apple CarPlay smartphone integration also became available as a standalone option for vehicles equipped with the GPS navigation system.

* North American xDrive35d models used the six-cylinder engine from the European-specification xDrive30d models. Vehicles with Diesel engine sold in the United States were since end of 2008 equipped with selective catalysator using Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce NOx emissions, while the BMW X5 sold in Europe did not use a selective catalytic reduction system (with AdBlue injection) until 2013 when the F15 X5 was released. These vehicles met the Euro 6 emissions standard.
All models include an 8-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox. With the option of a ‘Sport Steptronic’ automatic gearbox which had faster up & downshift times. It also included paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel for a sportier drive. The standard Steptronic transmission did not have paddle shifters and the only way to manually control the forward gears was to use the shifter in the centre console.
