BMW X5 2011
The 2011 BMW X5 xDrive35i is the base model in the three-trim lineup (four if you count the X5 M), but there’s really nothing base about it. With 300 hp and 300 lb-ft of torque available, this turbocharged 3.0-liter inline-6 elicits a simple question: Why would you need anything else? Power is immediate and robust, without any trace of turbo lag. There is the same irritating throttle delay found in several of BMW’s recent products, but this can be eliminated by selecting Sport mode and its sharper throttle response.
The eight-speed automatic produces the sort of smooth shifts and quick responses you’d expect, but more importantly, its additional ratios are a big reason for the 35i’s impressive fuel-ec
onomy numbers. According to BMW, the base X5 will return 17 mpg city/25 mpg highway and 20 mpg combined. That’s only a few mpg lower than the diesel-powered xDrive35d, which is noisier and slower off the line. The X5 has always put a premium on its handling, however, and for 2011 that doesn’t change. Its balance of ride and handling is still exemplary, and although our driving route in South Florida didn’t provide many twists or turns, the X5′s high-speed stability and driver confidence are indicative of (though not synonymous with) a much smaller sport sedan.
Our test car came equipped with the optional Active Steering system, an advanced variable-ratio and assistance technology available on most BMW models. Normally, we consider it a needless expense, as BMW’s standard steering is typically characterized as being a hallmark for communication and response. In the X5, though, it’s also characterized by a heavy effort at lower speeds. Active Steering makes things easier on your arms, so even though communication through the wheel isn’t as good as with the standard steering, we think it’s better suited to a vehicle like the X5.
