Here are the first photos of the BMW X5 xDrive35d, the first diesel BMW SAV that will be launched on U.S soil. And who else other than our friend Palbay could have brought us the photos?! He spotted the X5d somewhere in Spartanburg and took the time to snap some all around photos of the car.The X5 xDrive35d stands out as a sporty, high-torque Sports Activity Vehicle with excellent qualities for long-distance motoring. The BMW X5 xDrive35d achieves an EPA rating of 19/26 MPG (city/hwy) and accelerates from 0-60 in 6.9 seconds, probably one of the fastest diesel powered SUVs in the U.S. We have also recently learned that the BMW X5 xDrive35d will be launched in January and be available immediately at U.S dealerships.
