ependability. Luxury. These are all terms that describe the impressive BMW X5 xDrive 48i. This vehicle sits right at the top of BMW's four wheel drive line up - and with good reason too. Beneath the bonnet of the BMW X5 xDrive 4.8i is an eight-cylinder V8 petrol engine that really, really moves. The engine is matched with a smooth 6-speed automatic transmission that has the Steptronic feature. You have all the power you could wish for. Sports cars can be eaten up for breakfast with the X5 4.8i 0-100 km/h time of just 6.5 seconds. What fun!
