A revised version of the BMW X5 will go on sale in June this year, with a new range of cleaner engines, more standard equipment and updated looks. With a market launch of 5 June 2010 the BMW X5 will receive a mid lifecycle “refresh”. This includes changes to the engine line-up, exterior styling and standard & optional equipment. This comprehensive package of changes further strengthens the position of the X5 within its class and make the BMW X5 an excellent choice for leasing and finance

The original BMW X5 hit the streets in 1999, whilst in 2007, BMW launched the second-generation X5 in answer to competition from the Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg. What changes can we expect from the latest version which will be launched on June 5th 2010?

The most obvious change is the new styling. At the front, there are revised bumpers and new headlights, while the fog lights are mounted more centrally. Likewise, the rear has new light clusters, larger tailpipes and a redesigned bumper. At the same time, equipment levels across the range have been improved. The choice of SE and M Sport trims remains, but every model now comes with xenon headlamps and leather upholstery, while Lane Departure Warning, Active Cruise Control and side-view cameras are available as options.

Design highlights, Exterior:

Front:
- Re-styled front bumper (with more body colour on SE model)
- Enlarged air intake vents
- Re-positioned front fog lights – New xenon headlights with bright white LED corona rings.

Rear:
- Re-styled rear bumper (with more body colour on SE model)
- New rear light clusters featuring LED glowing light bars

Alloy wheel programme:
- New standard 19” wheel for xDrive50i SE model – New standard 19” wheel for dynamic package – New optional 20” wheels for all models

Engine Changes:

Every BMW X5 model now also has an eight-speed automatic gearbox, which combines with the new engines to give better performance and lower emissions on both of the new diesel engines.

The range still starts with the xDrive30d, but the engine is now more powerful than before, cutting half a second off the 0-60mph time. However, at the same time, CO2 emissions are also down – to 195g/km.

The new xDrive40d replaces the xDrive35d, and also combines more power and stronger performance with lower emissions and better economy. It emits 198g/km of CO2, while averaging 37.7mpg.

At the top of the range is the X5’s only petrol engine, the xDrive50i, which has over 50bhp more than the old xDrive48i – and takes a second less to reach 60mph as a result.

Summary:

For many people the BMW X5 remains the best luxury off-road 4×4 on the market. Because on the road, nothing else sits this high, looks as good or drives so well. The BMW X5 offers superior driving dynamics and a plush interior. Couple this with BMW’s long history of the X5 and being the ultimate driving machine, you cannot help but give the X5 M a serious look! One of the best performing SUVs on the road.

The all-new 2010 Lotus Evora…from our friends at Fox Valley Motorcars/Lamborghini Chicago. There are few greater automotive thrills than hurling a Lotus Elise down a bendy back road—or around a racetrack. But it’s almost not fair to compare the intense and delightful responses of the Elise or the related Exige with other street cars because, with curb weights that hover around 2000 pounds, there aren’t really any other street cars like them. Bigger, but No Less Special As you likely already know, that’s where the Evora comes in. It’s massively larger than the Elise—21.9 inches longer, with a 10.9-inch stretch in the wheelbase—which puts it on par with other sports cars such as the Porsche 911 and Cayman. The Evora is roughly five inches shorter than the 911 but still manages to squeeze in similarly sized (ie, tiny) back seats that are designed to fit very small adults or children up to about 10 years old. It also has a narrower doorsill and a 2.5-inch-higher seating position, making it far easier to get into and out of, which is one of the Elise’s setbacks. Two six-foot-plus males can sit in comfort without their shoulders touching, which is inevitable in an Elise. In fact, this six-foot-five driver didn’t even have to put the front seat back all the way to get comfortable. Back seat or not, the Evora is still very much a Lotus in the driver-thrills department. As with the company’s other cars, the steering is absolutely brilliant. The Evora has hydraulic power assist <b>…</b> 2010 porsche car lease
