NO RESERVE - 2004 BMW X5 4.8iS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Excellent example of first generation X5 flagship
  • One owner from new
  • 265bhp 4.8-litre V8
  • Panoramic sunroof

THE APPEAL

BMW’s X5 was one of the first premium off-roaders, a car that would set a substantial precedent for the entire market and be copied by many, despite being a massive diversion for the Bavarian manufacturer.
Most manufacturers followed suit, but the X5 was one of the first truly luxurious SUVs this side of a Range Rover. 
This is the X5, the X5 4.8iS is a rare machine an we can be sure that you are very much unlikely to find a one owner from new 4.8iS - they don't get much rarer than this gem. It is truly a needle in a haystack. 
It comes with quite a bit of provenance and is a smart and attractive example in smart Sterling Grey, with full leather upholstery and desirable twin panoramic glass sunroofs.

SUMMARY

Good first-generation X5s are getting harder and harder to find and this one is an absolute gem of a car – smart, well-presented and in the absolute best specification, with a wonderful-sounding big V8 and immaculate, fresh interior. 
This is a car with a rapidly developing following and the 4.8iS is an especially rare and sought-after variant. This one is a rare find with a low mileage and just one previous owner – you won’t find another one easily, especially not in this kind of condition.
