2024 BMW X5 xDrive30d M Sport

The X5 xDrive30d M Sport pairs BMW's 3.0-litre straight-six diesel with 48V mild-hybrid assistance and eight-speed Steptronic automatic, sending 294 bhp and 670 lb-ft to all four wheels. The page quotes a 145 mph top speed and the 0-62 mph sprint takes 6.1 seconds, which is brisk for a large diesel SUV with a Euro 6 emissions rating.

This 2024-registered car has covered 30,213 miles and is finished in Black Sapphire over black Sensafin leather with an anthracite Alcantara headlining. The options list is extensive: the M Sport Pro Package, M Sport brakes with red calipers, 22-inch M double-spoke Jet Black style 742 wheels, the Technology Package (a branded sound system and head-up display), the Comfort Package, sun protection glass and the Sky Lounge panoramic glass roof.

The M Sport specification adds sharper visual presence and firmer dynamics to what is otherwise a refined, practical long-distance SUV with a large boot. It is a diesel-hybrid X5 rather than an M60i or X5 M, so it leans towards comfortable, efficient pace, not outright performance.
