Yet another BMW engine from the E53 generation X5 is the M62 V8 stuffed under the hood of the high-performance 4.6is model that debuted for 2002 in response to the Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG.

For its 2004 facelift, the mid-level BMW E53 X5 received a new all-aluminum V8 engine, which introduced a host of new features to BMW's mainstream V8 power unit.

The BMW X5 is a surprisingly versatile sports activity vehicle, and has come with a variety of engines over the last quarter century.
