This car is solely made with import taxes in mind
You-re only paying tax for the 2L petrol engine instead of a S6
But getting this gets you S6 power, better economy and lower maintenance costs
The 2L diesel has emission taxes which costs 30Million LKR, 30d and 35i for their sizes cost 45million LKR+
The PHEV on the other hand costs just under 30million LKR, relative Value isn-t it.
You can get used ones now in during the pandemic (when imports are stopped temporarily) for 19+ million LKR which is one damn deal here

Two things that - seem - to be odd about X5 models and that is the diesel rattle. Many are driven in my country and at idle these engines make me wonder if the cost of the car is justified by superb insulation. It really makes a racket. Secondly, the sheer size of the tires! It looks even more grotesque on the X6. The basis for the tire size is? Looks? Gives the feeling of a design a child would do for his impression of a -powerful monster car-. They however appear quite popular so I'd hate to think it's because the Joneses' own one.

Hybrid thing is obviously a scam, like with many manufactures. The figures they give are completely unrealistic. Most people turn it off or never use it. But yet, you get discount on taxes in many countries. Unfair to people actually buying smaller, lighter, more economical and more rational vehicles.
Also, why are those plugs in the wheel arches black and not the same color as the paint job 6: 32? How hard or expensive could it be? This looks awful and cheap.

Mat. I love your reviews mate. You speak the most sense of all presenters, but to say the F15 interior is dated is totally wrong. It looks far superior in quality and style with its high gloss finish to the interior of say a Mercedes GLS' matte finish. I absolutely cannot get my head around why mercedes still put a phone style number pad on their dashes - it makes them look so dated.

Been riding around in a 2016 X5 M Sport the past couple days. Definitely has some significant tire roar on the 20- wheels. Cabin quality is great, seats are pretty comfy and infinitely adjustable, and the 16 speaker Harmon Kardon system is phenomenal. It's pretty fast too, had no problem passing lol

Man the x5 has started it all, I'm BMW fan today because of the original e53, and the brand new 2019 4th gen spy shots looks disappointing, doesn't look buff and strong also the new one looses the famous rear side window it will be like the x3s rear side window just sad -

The BMW interior is exactly what I like about it. Simplicity, practicality and somewhat luxury, so stop calling it -a bit dated-! Also, the BMW gear lever is the most beautiful in the market! When it is about taste, just leave it to individuals to decide for themselves!

The interior is definitely better than the one in the merc. I absolutely love it. The colour in that one is boring. Go for a saddle brown and ivory white color combo with high-gloss wood trim and you'll see how beautiful the X5 interior is.

Now is probably the best time to buy a demo or dealer used X5 before it gets facelifted in late 2019 or early 2020, its so cheap compared to the similar models and you can sell it right before the new model come out and save money.

The new 2018 X5 should have a more updated cabin as it will be an all new car. However, the new 5 series was revealed this week and it's cabin is not a radical departure from this X5's. Just BMW styling I guess.
