Ask for advice on a used X5

[Novemberr]

Hi,
I'm in search for a used X5 with V8 engine. I have been reading the model history and little confused.

Which model year is the last production for non-turbo engine?
Is auto-leveling suspension a standard feature for all X5 models?

I don't want a turbo engine, neither auto-leveling suspension.

Thanks a lot for your advice and input.

BMW ended the 3.0 and 4.8 naturally aspirated engines in 2010 for X5s, the diesel engine started production in 09. auto leveling is a standard feature in all X5s (correct me if im wrong)

curious to know the reason why your not including the new turbo engines in your search?

I believe all X5s have auto leveling suspension in the rear for towing reasons... As for the auto leveling where you can adjust ride height for offroad/ lowering to exit, etc. I don't think thats standard. Anyone pls correct me if I'm wrong..

Thanks for input. I have heard a lot about HPFP failure and can't imagine if I would face it one day. Same as auto leveling, don't want to deal with air suspension either as I'm not going to tow.

Go with the diesel

I thought auto-leveling was only on the 4.8i and the 3.0si with 3rd row seating.

I learned again.
- Self-leveling suspension is part of M sport package
- Adaptive Drive is another standalone option include Self-leveling suspension
