The F15 with the 4.4 V8 — an X5 that hauls the family and still embarrasses hot hatches at the lights.
The F15 X5 with the 4.4 twin-turbo V8 is the family car with a double life. On the school run it is quiet, high-riding and sensible; open the throttle and 450 hp move it to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds, which still embarrasses hot hatches a decade its junior. M Sport trim keeps the stance honest.
At its rate it is the value play of the fleet: proper V8 grand touring for Kakheti loops, ski weekends in Gudauri and everything a Tbilisi week throws at it. Full insurance and delivery are included. Rent a BMW X5 in Georgia with eight cylinders while the segment still allows it.
