Engine 8C Petrol



Powerful sophistication.

The eight-cylinder petrol engine.

The V8 in the BMW X5 4.8i sets the benchmark for responsiveness, power and sophistication. Technical refinements such as Valvetronic, the double-Vanos camshaft control system and a fully-variable air intake unit enable maximum power delivery for maximum SAV performance. Producing 261 kW (355 bhp), the vehicle accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.5 seconds. What’s more, this power is delivered with remarkable effortlessness and silky smooth refinement.
