The new X5 xDrive35i receives a brand new inline-6 gasoline engine, internally dubbed "N55." The new engine features the same 3.0-liter displacement and 300 horsepower output of its predecessor (the "N54"), but features a single twin-scroll turbocharger in place of the previous twin, low-mass turbocharger units. Furthermore, the new inline-6 of the X5 xDrive35i is the first BMW inline-6 to combine BMW's Valvetronic throttle-less intake technology, High Precision direct fuel injection and turbocharging.

The result of combining this new inline-6 with the new 8-speed automatic is an X5 with improved responsiveness thanks to more available power, in addition to improved efficiency. The new X5 xDrive35i will perform the zero-to-60 mph sprint in 6.4 seconds, coincidentally on the same pace as the outgoing V-8 powered X5 xDrive48i. Fuel economy is rated at 16 mpg in the city and 25 mpg on the highway.

The new 8-speed transmission found on the xDrive 35i is standard on the X5 xDrive50i as well. The new transmission weighs no more than its six-speed predecessor, yet offers closer ratios in the lower gears for improved acceleration and two additional "tall" gears for relaxed, efficient cruising.

The X5 xDrive35i Premium includes new standard equipment like 18-inch light alloy wheels, roof rails and panoramic moonroof, power adjustable steering column, iPod / USB adapter interface and privacy glass. For the first time, Premium trim also includes standard Nevada Leather.
