* North American xDrive35d models used the six-cylinder engine from the European-specification xDrive30d models. Vehicles with Diesel engine sold in the United States were since end of 2008 equipped with selective catalysator using Diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) to reduce NOx emissions, while the BMW X5 sold in Europe did not use a selective catalytic reduction system (with AdBlue injection) until 2013 when the F15 X5 was released. These vehicles met the Euro 6 emissions standard.

All models include an 8-speed Steptronic automatic gearbox. With the option of a ‘Sport Steptronic’ automatic gearbox which had faster up & downshift times. It also included paddle shifters located behind the steering wheel for a sportier drive. The standard Steptronic transmission did not have paddle shifters and the only way to manually control the forward gears was to use the shifter in the centre console.

BMW X5 and the corresponding Security models were built in BMW Spartanburg plant in the USA. X5 Security's special security features themselves are installed in the Toluca plant in Mexico.
