2024 BMW X5 40d M Sport

The 2024 BMW X5 40d M Sport xDrive is a heavily optioned example of BMW's flagship SUV, pairing a mild-hybrid 3.0-litre straight-six diesel with all-wheel drive to produce 347 bhp and a substantial 720 lb-ft of torque. At 26,825 miles on a 74-plate, it remains a relatively young car with considerable life ahead. The factory options list is extensive and well-judged: Bowers & Wilkins audio, Sky Lounge panoramic glass sunroof, M Sport Pro Package, 22-inch Jet Black Style 742 alloys, front and rear air suspension, and BMW Individual Full Merino Leather in black with Anthracite Alcantara headlining create an interior that justifies the premium.

Practical credentials are equally compelling — a 2,500 kg tow rating, Comfort Plus Package (keyless entry, memory seat, heated steering wheel, independent rear air conditioning), Parking Assistant Pro, and acoustic glazing make this a genuinely capable long-distance machine. The Technology Plus Pack adds a head-up display, rounding out a specification that would add significantly to the list price of a new equivalent.

At £73,990 this is competitive for the level of factory options fitted. The Euro 6 compliance and 48V mild-hybrid system provide real-world efficiency gains without diluting the strong mid-range torque delivery that defines the 40d's character on the motorway.
