More about the BMW X5
Driving assistant professional provides optimum comfort and safety during the most critical or monotonous traffic conditions. Relieving the driver from the task of driving and increasing the safety and comfort of every drive, the assistance system can take control of the vehicle when needed. The technology includes several features including, hill start assist, road sign recognition, emergency brake assist, steering and lane guidance assist, cruise control, distance control, speed limit assist, lane-change warning, and parking assist.
When hill starts are proving difficult, the system steps in and provides the support required to make the manoeuvre quick and easy. Taking control of the brake, the system secures the vehicle for a short time whilst the driver prepares to restart the vehicle and prepare to drive off.
Road sign recognition steps in when in slow-moving traffic; the camera system scans road signs and represents the processed date on the display in front of the driver. This helps the driver to devote their full attention to driving rather than being distracted looking at the road information and what speed limit they should be driving at.
The xOffroad package offers four off-road modes that adjust the all-wheel-drive precisely to the current ground conditions. The four settings include sand, gravel, rocks, and snow, allowing the driver to feel confident no matter the terrain. The xOffroad package provides optimum traction even on unsurfaced roads, making the drive smooth and consistent.

Which Towbar is best for my X5?
The fixed flange towbar is an excellent option for those who do not wish to remove the Towbar after they have finished towing, although the chunkier design is known for causing some interference from the rear parking sensors. The fixed flange towbar is great for pairing with towing accessories such as bumper protector plates and bolt on cycle carriers. The accessories use the bolt on plate at the rear of the towbar meaning the driver is able to use the accessories at the same time as towing.
The detachable swan neck towbar is the perfect choice for those who want to protect their vehicle's aesthetic. Once towing is completed, the towbar neck can be removed, and the Towbar will appear practically invisible. The towbar neck is removed by unlocking the neck and using a twist and push action. The detachable towbar is also compatible with all ALKO stabilisers and all clamp on style cycle carriers.
Will it need a bumper cut?
The fixed flange towbar and the detachable swan neck towbar do not need a bumper cut to be made on the standard style of bumpers.

Due to different bumper trims being available on the X5, there may need to be other modifications made; if you are unsure if this applies to your vehicle, please contact our sales team, who will happily guide you through your options.
