This 2005 BMW X5 4.8is is finished in Black Sapphire paintwork over a leather and M-Texture interior. It is powered by a 4.8 litre V8 paired with a six speed automatic transmission. The odometer currently indicates 183,091 km. Positioned at the top of the E53 range, the 4.8is combined BMW’s early performance SUV philosophy with naturally aspirated V8 power and distinctive styling elements unique to this model.

Introduced in 1999, the first generation X5 helped establish BMW’s reputation for dynamic, road-focused luxury SUVs. The 4.8is arrived late in the model run and represented the highest specification available, featuring a unique body kit, larger wheels, uprated suspension tuning and the most powerful engine offered. Today it remains the standout performance variant of the early X5 range.

The exterior presents in good condition for its age. The Black Sapphire paintwork displays a consistent finish, with the headlights showing UV coating deterioration that would benefit from a cosmetic refresh. A mark is noted on the passenger side mirror cap. Recent invoices confirm the wheels have been professionally refinished.

Inside, the cabin presents well with tidy leather and M-Texture upholstery. Light wear is visible on the outer bolster of the driver’s seat, and the head unit displays some dead pixels, as seen in the photography. Overall trim surfaces and interior presentation appear consistent with a well maintained example.

Mechanically, the vehicle is described as being in good order. Recent invoicing includes replacement of the rear discs and pads, rear air springs and other miscellaneous maintenance items, indicating ongoing upkeep and attention to common wear points.
