The BMW X5 M-Sport exudes the same characteristics as it's sister model - the BMW X6 M-Sport. With a roof line 111mm lower than the typical Range Rover, the curved roof, flared wheel arches and sporty appearance indicate the BMW X5 M-Sport is built with on-road speed in mind, as opposed to the off-road capabilities you'd expect from a 4x4/SUV.

The balance of sports coupe/4x4 is echoed further by the M-Sport bodykit with spoiler and twin exhausts. On the interior, the seats are more bolstered on the sides, based ore around the M-Sport road cars, further supporting BMWs statement of speed and handling.

With the 7 seat option being available, it can prove very handy for large families but room is at a bit more of a premium than it's rival, the Land Rover Discovery 4. The BMW is more stylish and sporty but with a smaller boot/trunk area of 1750 litres, compared to the Discovery 4s 2,555 litres. In reality, the X5 M-Sport is more suited to 5 passengers, if travelling with luggage.

For what the X5 M-Sport lacks in luggage space, it more than makes up for in handling dynamics, with a a very well balanced ride. The MPG figures are also quite impressive, when compared to the Discovery 4 at almost a 50% increase, with the Discovery 4 reaching 22MPG and the X5, 31MPG. The X5 is a great alternative to one of the most popular models on the market, offering styling, handling, and better MPG figures, should space not be a dominating pre-requiste.

The BMW X5 M-Sport is available to hire from £195+VAT per day and readily available from the London area to include Heathrow Airport, Gatwick Airport, and Stansted Airport. A nationwide delivery/collection service is also available to accommodate the rest of the UK.
