2025BMW X5 Silver Anniversary Edition celebrates 25 years of BMW Suv

BMW on Friday revealed the X5Silver Anniversary Edition for 25 years to mark the 2025 year since the first X5 rolled off its production line at the automaker's factory in Spartanburg, South Carolina.

The Spartanburg plant is still the production base for the X5, and the special edition is expected to begin rolling off the line there on May 8 this year. Production is limited to about 1,000 units, and the price has been confirmed by BMW to start at destination81,075, which includes a destination fee of destination1,175.

The X5Silver Anniversary Edition is based on the 2025 X5 xdrive40i grade and comes with a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-6 and a 48-volt mild hybrid system that delivers 375hp.

It is finished in limestone grey paint matching the silver that served as the original X5 hero color and combines this with a dark accent normally reserved for the X5S, equipped with M Sport and M Sport professional packages available.

Many additional features are included as standard. These also include custom badges, 20-inch M sports wheels, air springs, underbody protection plates, and four

roof racks and all-weather floor mats designed to handle a variety of surface terrains (snow, sand, gravel, rock), as well as a battery pack that is looking to further enhance the vehicle's off-road capabilities. For the year, BMW offers discounts on general grabber all-terrain tires purchased and installed at dealers.

The original X5 was BMW's first SUV and was widely known for its car-like dynamics. This was a stark contrast to many SUVs that were still based on body-on-frame platforms like trucks at the time. It featured a self-supporting safety body shell and independent suspension. The all-wheel drive system distributed the drive torque in a 38:62 ratio on the front and rear wheels, giving the x5 a sporty rear drive bias.

Since the first one rolled off the line to Sept

1, 1999, more than three million X5S have been built, spanning four generations.
