Used 2014 BMW X5 for Sale near Cleveland, OH

The X5's 4.4-liter twin-turbo powerplant makes 445 hp and an asphalt-churning 480 pound-feet of torque. Zero-to-60 is achieved in just 4.9 seconds, which is insane for a 5,150-pound hauler of an SUV.

With vehicles like the X6, 5 Series GT and 6 Series Gran Coupe, BMW seems bent on breaking traditional notions of vehicle classes. Sport Activity Coupes, 4-door coupes and performance crossovers might be the norm now, but there was a time when an entirely new style of vehicle was revolutionary. When the BMW X5 first arrived, it was Munich’s answer to the Mercedes-Benz M-Class. The ML may have been first (debuting in 1997), but the 1999 BMW X5 was a runaway hit. It ignited the luxury SUV segment, which became a “profit center” for premium automakers. In marketing speak, “profit center” means “cash cow,” and the X5 has continued to play this role for BMW for the last 15 years.
