2007 BMW X5 Frequently Asked Questions

1. What does the 2007 BMW X5 third row seating option look like?  How many people can it hold comfortably?

The third row seating option is shown in the photo on the right.  The seat will fold down when not in use so it will not limit your cargo space when not in use.  The third row seating option is best used for smaller adults and children.  The guidelines state that people under 5 foot 4 inches tall will be comfortable.  However, in our experience we see our customers using the third seat for children only.  The third row seating option lists for $1,200.

2. What is the difference in horsepower between the 2007 X5 3.0si and the 2007 X5 4.8i?

The eight cylinder 4.8i engine produces 350 horsepower at 6300 rpm, and 350 lb-ft torque at 3400 rpm.

The six cylinder 3.0-liter dual overhead cam (DOHC), 24-valve inline engine produces 260-horsepower with composite magnesium/aluminum engine block, Valvetronic, and Double-VANOS steplessly variable valve timing.

So with the eight cylinder model you get an additional 90 horsepower, about a 30% improvement over the six cylinder model.

3. If I want the integrated DVD player for rear viewing, do I order the technology package?

No.  The DVD player is a separate option and it is not included the the technology package. The DVD Player and BMW X5 rear seat entertainment package is option 6FF "Rear seat entertainment".

4. Can I plug in my IPod to the new 2007 BMW X5?

Total driving control meets total tune control with your fully integrated BMW iPod Adaptor. Shift between tracks and up to five BMW playlists and adjust volume without taking your eyes off the road or your ears off the music. Select "Scan" to preview tracks or "Random" to shuffle your playlist or entire iPod, and let the music take you to unexpected places.  The photo shown is not for the 2007 Model.  For the 2007 BMW X5 the iPod plugs into the armrest storage compartment.
