BMW X5 M50d | SILVER | BLACK LEATHER INTERIOR | 2018 | 163,354KM

This is not your average X5. The M50d sits at the top of BMW’s M Performance diesel line-up, finished here in classic Silver over a Black leather interior  a combination that suits the M50d’s understated but purposeful character.

Under the bonnet is BMW’s famed tri-turbo 3.0-litre straight-six diesel, producing 280kW (381hp) and 740Nm of torque, paired with an 8-speed Steptronic automatic transmission and xDrive all-wheel drive  enough for a 0-100km/h sprint in around 5.3 seconds and a top speed of 250km/h, figures that put it ahead of many petrol performance SUVs of its era. As the flagship diesel M Performance model, the M50d carries M Sport suspension tuning, M Sport bodykit and badging, larger alloy wheels, upgraded M Sport brakes, and the driver-focused specification that separates it from the standard X5 diesel range  full leather trim, BMW’s suite of driver assistance systems, and the road presence that made the M50d one of the most respected diesel performance SUVs BMW has ever built.

At 163,354km, this X5 M50d has been used exactly as intended  covering serious distance with the effortless torque and long-legged cruising ability the tri-turbo diesel was engineered for.

This vehicle is in exceptional condition and has had a brand-new replacement engine fitted by BMW themselves, not an aftermarket unit. The replacement engine has covered only 20,000 km, offering exceptional peace of mind and reliability. A truly outstanding X5 and excellent value for money.

This is exactly what makes the M50d so desirable: genuine M Performance character, tri-turbo diesel muscle, and the specification and presence of BMW’s halo diesel X5 a model that’s becoming harder to find in good condition.
