BMW is set to commemorate a quarter-century of pioneering the Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) category with a special edition of the iconic X5. The BMW X5 Silver Anniversary Edition, based on the 2025 X5 xDrive40i, elevates the blend of on-road performance and luxury with exceptional off-road capabilities, celebrating 25 years of innovation and adventure.
A Legacy of Innovation
Since the first BMW X5 rolled off the production line at BMW Group Plant Spartanburg in South Carolina on September 1, 1999, nearly 3 million units have been produced for markets around the globe. The X5 has set benchmarks in the SAV category, and the Silver Anniversary Edition continues this tradition with a unique focus on off-road prowess.
Distinctive Styling and Premium Features
The X5 Silver Anniversary Edition stands out with its exclusive styling details from both the Sport and M Sport Designs. Key exterior features include:
- Extended Shadowline Trim: Darkens the window surrounds, roof rails, fender-mounted Air Breathers, and the standard illuminated kidney grille.
- 20-inch M Star-spoke Bi-color Wheels: Borrowed from the M Sport Package, enhancing the vehicle’s aggressive stance.
- BMW Individual Lime Rock Grey Metallic Paint: Complimented by aluminum-accented pieces from the Sport Design, emphasizing its off-road intent.
- Silver Anniversary Edition Badge: Subtly placed on the tailgate for an exclusive touch.
Inside, the luxury continues with a choice of Black, Cognac, Coffee, or Silverstone Sensafin upholstery for the sport seats. The interior is adorned with:
- Carbon Fiber Trim: Typically reserved for higher-end models like the X5 M60i and X5 M Competition.
- BMW Curved Display with Operating System 8.5: Enhanced by Live Cockpit Professional, featuring a full-color BMW Head-Up Display and BMW Maps navigation with Augmented Reality.
