Automatic transmissions were the only option. Engines ranging from six to eight cylinders were offered along with turbocharging for some. BMW also introduced a new diesel, new model naming nomenclature, and a high performance version with the "M" moniker. The SUV became more up-market with better interior refinement, upgrades to the drivetrain, and an optional third row of seating. In 2007, the second-generation BMW X5 appeared on the market. Transmissions were all automatics with some rare exceptions in which manual transmissions will be found. Engines for the first-generation BMW X5 include six- and eight-cylinder options as well as an inline-six diesel. Buyers of used first-gen X5s will often find that the infotainment has been upgraded thanks to the modular nature of the system, which allowed some newer BMW infotainment systems to be installed easily. The first-generation of the BMW X5 came in the 2000 model year and used many technologies imported from Land Rover, which BMW owned a large stake in at the time. X5s sold in the United States are manufactured in South Carolina with special-order armored versions being fitted in Mexico. The X5 is based on a unibody platform with car-like maneuverability. BMW markets the X5 as a "Sport Activity Vehicle" to emphasize those points. Now in its third-generation, the X5 is most well known for its sporty drive, roomy interior, and excellent on-road presence. The BMW X5 is a midsized luxury sport utility vehicle which first appeared in 1999.
