in the fall of 2003 on the auto-salon in Frankfurt simultaneously with the compact completely new crossover X3 makes a debut and the restaylingovaya (but more precise, modernized) version of that become already "with classics of genre" the sport lux- crossover X5. the design of model practically did not change - it is possible to note only the new, more elegant elements of front illumination engineering in the style of new "in the three rubles" and "five", the changed front bumper and "muskulistnyy" relief cowling with the extended chrome-plated firm "nostrils". In other respects, beginning from the front counters, there are no changes, that, possible to the best (from the principle "good to improve only to spoil"). In the technical plan of change it is considerably more serious: in BMW X5 2004 model years will begin to establish two completely new engines from the "five" E60: the benzine 4,4- liter V8 with system Valvetronic (without the throttle plate) with the control system of the phases of gas distribution Bi -VANOS, which develops 320 hp. (+34 hp.) and 460 N·m (+20 N·m), and also super-thrustbeaten 3- liter turbodizel' with the system of the direct injection common rail of the second generation with the power of 210 hp. (+26 hp.) and MKM into 500 (!) N·m (+90 N·m). Without the changes thus far left the base 3- liter gasoline engine R6 (231 hp, 300 N·m), and here gearboxes are completely new, 6- are stepped - "mechanics" for X5 3..0i and X5 3..0d and firm "automaton" Steptronic with the possibility of manual gearshift for most powerful version 4..о is optional for the the turbodizel'noy. The former flag officer X5 ya..'is is removed from production, for the change to him will arrive the new super-crossover X5 of ya..8is with engine from M5 with a power of about 400 hp and MKM more than 500 N·m, whose premier it is expected in the spring of 2004. It is completely natural that the new all-wheel-drive transmission xDrive, for the first time declared to X3, from the autumn of 2003 will be proposed to elder on rank X5. Main difference in system xDrive from the previous, with the fixed relationship of the distribution of thrust between axes 38:62, in the electronic system for control of the multiple-plate interaxial clutch, which redistributes the torque between the axes depending on the degree of the slippage of wheels, road conditions, speed and other factors, the united with the integrated system dynamic stabilization DSC III. Is especially effective system xDrive on the friable (snow, sand) or slippery (wet asphalt, ice) coating, since with the appearance of slippage xDrive it operates practically instantly (in the milliseconds), and if necessary with the aid of DSC will slow one or several skidding wheels. The new system of the complete drive xDrive must improve even without that the highest handlings, and also active safety of automobile. Necessary to only remember that this nevertheless not extra-road builder, but crossover (or SAV, Sport Activity VehicleTM - precisely this abbreviation it patented concern BMW for its automobiles of series X), so that trips on the serious impassable road nothing, besides disappointment, will bring, then under any road conditions and with any weather control over the situation is guaranteed. Should be mentioned and the automatic system of descent from hill HDC, the speed into 9 km/h developed for Land Rover, supporting with the descent, braking wheels and decreasing engine revolutions. Interior Khshch practically did not change, however, it so is considered one of the standards on ergonomics, quality of materials and assembling; therefore Khshch rightfully preserves for itself title of one of the luxurious models in the class. Into the base equipment the electro-adjustments of control in two planes and two-zone climate- control enter. The standard collection of the accessories of prestige versions with engines V8 includes dual glass, high(ly)-class audiosistemu BMW Proffessional, leather salon and additional shielding pneumatic shutters, which protect with the lateral impact of the head of riders. It is interesting that the display of on-board computer, on the pluralism of worker by television set, turns off image with start in order not to distract driver from the road. Rear door is equipped with lift upper fold, which makes it possible if necessary to transport bulky things. The back of the rear seat can be accumulated completely or in parts. For facilitating parking is provided system Parktronic, and with the start of backward motion lateral mirrors automatically show rear wheels. Into the assembly of the new X5 entered the renovated front biksenonovye headlights with the luminous circular rims (option for the 3- liter versions) as on the 5th and 7th series, and as the option adaptive rotary searchlights were proposed. One additional new system Trailer Stabilisation Control prevents "storing" with towing of trailer. New Khshch is equipped with very rigid steel body and it magnificently showed itself during the tests on the passive restraint ("five stars" on kraw- test EuroNccAP). The completely independent suspensions (in front of the modernized counters McPherson, from behind multi-lever) with the pneumatic elements instead of the shock absorbers are fixed on the powerful subframes, which made it possible to attain outstanding controllability in combination with the high smoothness of motion and furthermore the road clearance can be regulated in the limits of 50 mm.
