3.0 is super smooth and strong see full BMW X5 review |
2006 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
While I wish the 3.0L i6 had 50 more ft-lbs of torque, it does fine even in the thinner air of Colorado. The AWD system is amazing in the winter, and combined with traction and stability control, makes the X5 a very safe vehicle. see full BMW X5 review |
