2011 BMW X5 – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/strong><\/em><\/div>\n

\nThe original BMW X5<\/a> marked Bimmer’s first entry into the then-burgeoning SUV segment, and it remains a strong seller for the company, trailing only the 3 and 5 Series. The time has now rolled around for the X5’s mid-cycle refresh, which brings two new gas engines and some mild visual updates. The lower front fascia has been reshaped with the larger outboard air intakes inspired by the X5 M<\/a>. Similarly, the rear bumper is re-sculpted and both ends get more of their bodywork painted the car’s main color instead of black. <\/p>\n

The more important changes are underhood, however, where both gasoline engines have been replaced. The base engine for the xDrive35i is now the same single turbo, 300-horsepower N55 3.0-liter inline-six finding its way into most other 2011 BMWs. Similarly, the xDrive50i gets the sweet 400-horse twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 found in the X6<\/a>, 7<\/a> and 5 Series Gran Turismo<\/a>. Both gas engines are paired with the new eight-speed automatic also making its way to other BMW models. The gas versions also adopt brake energy regeneration to reduce parasitic losses. <\/p>\n

The diesel-powered xDrive35d, which only debuted just a year ago but is already accounting for about one-third of X5 sales, carries over its powertrain unchanged for 2011. <\/p>\n

Official EPA numbers for the gas X5s won’t be available until closer to their on-sale date, which follows shortly after the X5 makes its public debut at the New York Auto Show<\/a> in April. <\/p>\n
