2003 BMW X5 4.6is

BMW would take a gamble in the late 1990s by unleashing the X5 “Sports Activity Vehicle” onto the public. Would this truck live up to the “Ultimate Driving Machine” tagline? Well, after a friend’s parents purchased an X5 4.4i shortly after it’s introduction, I had only one answer to that question: yes. I was amazed how car like the X5 handled. It was as if it was a 5 series on stilts, but the increased height had little effect on how tight it hugged the curves. There is even an E53 X5 in the GCFSB fleet, as our owner, Dan, recently purchased a clean, low mileage 2003 X5 4.4i to replace a Volvo XC70.

This 4.6is represents the top dog of the X5 range for 2003, with 335 horsepower routed through all four 20 inch wheels. It’s not an optimal combination for off-roading, but it’s doubtful this black on black example for sale in Oregon would leave the tarmac for extended periods of time.

Admittedly, we don’t feature a lot of SUVs here on GCFSB. We have our favorites, most notably the Mercedes-Benz Geländewagen and Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI. However, I always thought the original BMW X5 was an attractive machine, especially when kitted out like this, in 4.6is form, in black, with tinted windows. It’s not the most purposeful truck, but it sure is mean looking. The 4.6is was replaced in 2004 by the 4.8is, so this helps keep the price down a bit, as it’s not exactly the ultimate E53 X5. Considering the mileage, we’d suspect somewhere in the $9,000 to $12,000 range is about on the mark for this SAV.
