Travelling with all the comforts of the home means that every mile is something to be savoured in the cockpit of the BMW X5. The elevated seating position lends you a commanding view of the road.
One can also find the sumptuous materials which transform the interior into a feast for the eyes (from the upholstery, also available in supple leather, to the fine wood trim). Here elegance in form is matched by elegance in function. The instrument panel is ergonomically designed and the controls are intuitively placed just where you expect to find them. For even more convenience, iDrive technology gives you access to a wide range of vehicle functions via one central set of controls. Eight buttons can be set to provide your own functions in the blink of an eye. The optional Head-Up Display projects key information such as speed and navigation system directions onto the windscreen.
