2024 BMW X5 xDrive40d M Sport

This 2024 BMW X5 xDrive40d M Sport pairs BMW's 3.0-litre straight-six diesel with 48-volt mild-hybrid assistance, producing 347 bhp and 700 Nm of torque. It's a quick, long-legged SUV: the page quotes a 152 mph top speed, and the 0-62mph time is given as 5.5 seconds. Four-wheel drive, a Steptronic automatic and a 2,500 kg towing capacity keep it practical as well as fast.

This car is finished in Dravit Grey with Coffee Sensafin leather and an Anthracite Alcantara headlining. The M Sport Pro Package adds a more aggressive exterior look, and the car rides on 22in M Double-Spoke Jet Black Style 742 alloy wheels. The Sky Lounge panoramic glass sunroof lightens the cabin, and sun protection glass is also fitted.

The Technology Package brings a branded sound system and a head-up display. With 26,489 miles from its 73-plate registration, it's a relatively lightly used example of a diesel X5 that suits big-mileage motorway work. Note that this is the 40d, not the M60i or the full-fat X5 M, so its appeal is effortless pace and economy rather than outright performance.
