First Look and Review - 2014 (F15) BMW X5 xDrive35d

I recently had the opportunity of spending a full day with the new F15 2014 X5 xDrive35d and came out very impressed.

It looks very impressive, especially in person and BMW clearly knew it had a winner with the previous generation X5 because it took care to make this far more evolutionary than revolutionary.

In terms of driving and handling, it's definitely as good as if not better than the outgoing model.

Conclusion: it's a worthy successor.

My complete review (with lots of photos) is online and below are some photos as well:

First Look: 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35d – Review
Quote:
Back in 1999, when BMW was busy introducing the X5 Sport Activity Vehicle DSC_0636(which was the Bavarian automaker's way of explaining it was not offering an SUV, at least not a typical one, while emphasizing the car's on-road strengths), the blue-and-white faithful were in a state of disbelief. How could a large truck handle like a BMW they wondered out loud? ...

Now we are at the dawn of a new age: the third generation of the BMW X5, which will be going on sale shortly as a 2014 model. BMW is launching the all-new X5 with two gasoline engines and a rear-wheel-drive model as BMW has come to the sensible conclusion that all-wheel drive is not needed everywhere, especially considering that the greatest amount of off-roading by X5 drivers is probably confined to their driveways.DSC_0640

The X5 xDrive35i and the X5 sDrive35i (BMW uses the sDrive moniker for rear-wheel-drive cars where an xDrive vehicle also exists)...
