Starting off with the xOffroad package, BMW says the fitment of the latter reinforces the X5’s mission as a “true” adventure vehicle. Included with this package are two-axle air suspension, which provides increased ground clearance, a rear mechanical diff lock, and underbody protection plates.

In addition, this variant has gained off-road-focused driving modes — xSand, xGravel, xRocks and xSnow — which adjust the SUV’s ride height, throttle response, transmission gearing and traction control to suit the conditions. An off-road camera setup is also present, as are a roof rack, all-weather floor mats and a tow hitch. The X5 Sliver Anniversary Edition sits on a set of 20-inch alloy wheels, which is available with General Grabber rubber.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
