Since the first X5 SAV, the world has been anxiously awaiting the successor to the E53. The E70 marks the second generation of the X5 and includes many new features and functions not available in the previous X5. As one would expect, the new E70 raises the standard forthe SAV driving experience. The propulsion for the new SAV is provided by new 6-cylinder and V-8 engines with more performance than the previous power units. Since the introduction of the original X5 (E53), there have been more than 580,000 units produced, half of which (240,000) have been sold in the U.S. market. The new X5 continues the tradition of a luxury appointed, premium SAV. The E70 interior combines sophisticated materials with innovative options and class leading technology. The overall ground clearance has been increased and there is a new front suspension to complement the BMW patented integral IV rear suspension. The BMW active steering system has been added for the first time on a X-drive equipped vehicle. There is also an optional “Adaptive Drive” package which combines Active Roll Stabilization (ARS) and Electronic Damping Control (EDC) for improved ride quality and handling. The new EDC system features the world debut of FlexRay, a new high speed data transmission system developed with the leadership of BMW and a major consortium of development companies. 3 E70 Introduction New X5 SAV

The highlights of the new E70 X5 include: • Weight optimized body shell with improved torsional stiffness • Standard Runflat tires • Active Steering • Adaptive Drive package (EDC and ARS) • New 6-speed gearbox with electronic gear selector • Full time AWD - X-drive technology • Improved power and efficiency with new engines - N52B30O1 and N62B48O1 • Larger interior with 3rd row seating (up to 7 seats) • Optional Head-up display • New i-Drive control concept with six programmable keys • Exclusive interior with innovative options • Improved handling and driving dynamics 4 E70 Introduction

Technical Comparisons (E53 vs E70) The E70 represents the logical development of the proportions of the E53. The vehicle's external dimensions are bigger than those of the E53. The wheelbase has been length- ened significantly, making the E70 appear more stable and lending it a sovereign presence. 5 E70 Introduction 2933 4854 1644 1933 2197 1650 1062 859 1766 998 99 1 Specification E70 E53 Unladen weight (kg) 2,125 2,095 Length (mm) 4,854 4,667 Width (mm) 2,197 2,180 Height (mm) 1,766 1,707 Wheelbase (mm) 2,933 2,820 Track width, front (mm) 1,644 1,576 Track width, rear (mm) 1,650 1,576

E70 Body Overview The E70 bodyshell has a number of technical highlights. For example, the B-pillar consists of tailor rolled blanks, which are hot formed and enable a high-strength weight saving of 2 kg per vehicle. This also increases performance in a crash. The torsional strength has been increased from 23,500 Nm/° (E53) to 27,000 Nm/° (E70). The bodyshell played a key role in achieving a rating of 5 stars in the NCAP crash test. Many reinforcements were made to the front end, Bpillar and rear end. This involved using high strength steels. 8 E70 Introduction Legend to graphic on next page.

The body structure is designed in line with the Euro NCAP front impact test, the Euro NCAP pole test and the LINCAP side impact test as well as the IIHS side impact and high-speed rear impact tests in the USA. Wherever possible, all situations occurring outside of legal requirements, and intended to ensure the protection of the passengers have been taken into consideration. In an impact at up to 15 km/h, the body structure remains undamaged. The separating cuts for repair are outside the B-pillar. To prevent corrosion, the sill beam is dried. 10 E70 Introduction See legend on previous page
