BMW is introducing all innovations serving to reduce fuel consumption and emissions step-by-step at the earliest possible point in all model series. And now, offering an even wider range ofengines for the X5, Germany's premium car manufacturer is raising the benchmark for efficiency even higher also in this segment in the 2008 model year.
Particularly the new 2008 BMW X5 3.0sd powered by a 3.0-litre straight-six diesel featuring Variable Twin Turbo technology offers an especially high standard of supremacy with utmost economy. Maximum output of 210 kW/286 hp at an engine speed of 4,400 rpm, plus peak torque of 580 Newton-metres/427 lb-ft from just 1,750 rpm, ensures acceleration to 100 km/h in a mere 7.0 seconds. Average fuel consumption in the EU cycle, in turn, is only 8.2 litres/100 kilometres, equal to 34.4 mpg imp, giving the new 2008 BMW X5 3.0sd a maximum range of 1,035 kilometres or 642 miles and ensuring grand touring qualities quite unique in this segment.
The other model variants of the 2008 BMW X5 likewise feature a wide range of improvements serving to optimise both fuel economy and emissions, such as Brake Energy Regeneration and on-demand management of the engine's ancillary units.
A further point is that the belt drive for the climate compressor is equipped with a clutch automatically disconnecting the compressor once the air conditioning is switched off and thus reducing the drag force generated by the compressor to an absolute minimum.
Further features of all variants of the 2008 BMW X5 include tyres with reduced roll resistance, a coolant pump operating according to current requirements, friction-optimised final drive, and the Varioserv steering assistance pump with pressure- and volume flow-controlled adjustment of the cam ring serving to avoid the power losses otherwise encountered at higher engine speeds. All variants of the 2008 BMW X5 come furthermore with active aerodynamic improvements, the coolant flaps opening and closing according to current driving conditions and thus helping to optimise the vehicle's air drag once the engine requires less air for cooling.
