Nonetheless, it was followed by the entry of the 2003 BMW 7 Series into the market. The range of cars which make up the 2003 series include the 745i, 745Li and 760Li. The sedans in this series have been given a complete makeover of sorts, and it is easily noticeable that they are completely different from their previous year's counterparts.

Equipped with V8 and V12 engines (the latter for the 760 model), the sedans comprise of an automatic transmission over six speeds, disc brakes together with traction and dynamic stability control and the wheels are eighteen inches for the V8's, while nineteen-inch wheels are available with the V12 engines and the special (Sports Package - a later addition) V8 models.

Another addition halfway through the year was that of a transmission shift capability integrated with the steering wheel - both down-shift and up-shift. A standard feature of all the models is the Active Roll Stabilization, which opposes the slant of the body.

In comparison to its performance in the previous year, the sales of the BMW 7 Series took a 64 percent leap in 2002. With better handling, faster acceleration and spacious interiors, the sedans of the 2003 BMW 7 Series make for a much better driving experience than earlier models. At a relatively cheap price, the sedans also exhibit additional features which include adaptive brake lights, a smooth body underneath the sedan and a navigation system et al. The fact remains that they are a class apart from the vehicles that are structurally similar to the ones in this BMW series. Although, the online cost comes round to about nineteen thousand dollars, the cheapest deals can be found in the auctions.

The all-wheel drive is available over a wide range of V8 and petrol inline-engines. In fact at the time of the car's inception, BMW tried to market the X5 series as a SAV (Sports Activity Vehicle) rather than a SUV (Sports Utility Vehicle) to try and remove the spotlight from its size and girth. The different models which are a part of this series are - 3.0i, 4.4i and 4.8i.

The BMW X5 series includes the V8 engines which power the 4.4i and 4.8i models, with low-range gearing and producing 315 to 355 horsepower.

The 3.0i model encompasses a 6-cylinder inline engine, powered by 225 hp. A closer look at the features of the X5 series reveals the car's finesse in its automatic-levelling rear suspension, beautiful leather upholstery and automatic front and rear obstacle detection. The BMW X5 series also boasts of an adjustable ride-height suspension, a navigation system, and trademark BMW Assist emergency and concierge system.

The 2005 version of BMW X5 was bolstered with a Bluetooth kit, just like other vehicles from the BMW stables. Also added as standard equipment to the BMW X5 in 2005, were Xenon headlamps. Other features of the car which stand out are its fuel economy (cheap fuel expenses in comparison to other cars in its class), excellent handling, and its comfort and space with extra cargo room.

The previous years' models of X5 were benefited by the takeover of Land Rover. The cheapest deals for the cars would be available on the internet, or in a winning bid for the car at an auction.
