The 2018 BMW X5 35i sDrive is a capable, luxurious midsize SUV known for its strong turbocharged inline-six engine, comfortable interior, and good handling for its class, although it may feel less sporty than expected and offers a cramped optional third row. Key considerations include its proven N55 engine, which benefits from being the final year of its generation, and the need for proper maintenance, especially regarding the valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets. The sDrive rear-wheel-drive model offers a more traditional, potentially more cost-effective and efficient driving experience compared to the XDrive all-wheel-drive version
