Particularly the thoroughly renewed eight-cylinder gasoline engine in the BMW X5 4.8i offers a new level of performance: As the top engine in the range, this V8 displaces 4,799 cubic centimetres and develops maximum output of 261 kW/355 hp, with peak torque of 475 Newton-metres or 350 lb-ft between 3,400 and 3,800 rpm. This, clearly, means efficient dynamics of the highest standard.
Accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds, the BMW X5 4.8i also reaches a new standard of performance likewise borne out by its top speed limited electronically to 240 km/h or 149 mph.
Despite this improvement in performance by 11 per cent over the former model, fuel consumption is down by 5 per cent to just 12.5 litres/100 kilometres in the EU test cycle, equal to 22.6 mpg Imp. And it almost goes without saying that the new V8 power unit in the BMW X5 4.8i fulfils the emission regulations imposed by both the Euro 4 standard as well as ULEV II in the USA.
