2007 BMW X5 E70 pricing
BMW has just announced base prices for the recently unveiled 2007 BMW X5 E70 luxury crossover SUV. That is the good news. And the bad news is…
Well, the bad news is that the facelifted X5 3.0si will cost $4,400 more than the outgoing base model.

The new BMW E70 X5 3.0si SUV will start at $45,900. The top of the line X5 4.8i will also cost $900 more than the older 4.4i model: in a very basic trim it will set you back for as much as $54,500. The $695 destination fee and handling are not included.
That’s not that bad, after all, since the latest model gives you a lot more power and standard options.
For example, the 3.0-liter in-line six-cylinder engine now produces 260 hp — that is 35 hp more than the older engine could achieve.
The new X5 is also 7.4 inches longer, so it may be ordered with an optional third row of seats, a rearview camera, rollover mitigation system and that sort of stuff.
The X5 E70 is expected to appear in dealerships by late November.
