2009 BMW X5 xDrive48i Trim Overview

Leather upholstery and V8 power await anyone who decides the 2009 BMW X5 xDrive48i is the vehicle for them, with its 4.8-liter V8 engine replacing the 3.0-liter six-cylinder powerplant in the other X5 trims. Delivery to all four 18-inch alloys is handled by a shiftable six-speed automatic transmission with the aid of traction and hill descent control and a load-leveling suspension. Leather front bucket seats have 10-way power, and are separated by a center console. Rear occupants get a split-folding seat, also in leather. Power windows, door locks, heated power mirrors, and a power sunroof are all standard features, as well as remote keyless entry. The stereo is a single-CD unit with MP3 compatibility and a digitial-media connection. Additional controls for the stereo can be found on the power tilt and telescoping, leather-wrapped steering wheel. A memory system for the driver controls the steering wheel, seat, and mirrors. Additional driver-specific features include a tachometer, cruise control, trip computer, and illuminated visor mirrors.

Outside, look to roof rails and a rear spoiler, steering-linked xenon headlights, foglights, and rain-sensing, variable-intermittent front wipers with heated washers. The rear glass is kept sparkling with a wiper and washer combination.

Dual front, front-side, and curtain side airbags with rollover deployment for the front and second rows are included. Antilock four-wheel disc brakes with brake assist and anti-skid are standard, and a tire pressure monitor and daytime running lights are also included with the 2009 BMW X5 xDrive48i.
