In celebration of the X5’s 25th anniversary, BMW has whipped the wraps off the X5 Silver Anniversary Edition, a limited-run variant equipped with the German marque’s xOffroad package and several additional model-specific exterior and interior design elements. Only 1 000 examples will be made.

The most notable addition to this limited-edition package is, of course, the fitment of the xOffroad kit, which, the Bavarian brand says, reinforces the X5’s mission as a true adventure vehicle. The kit comprises underbody protection plates, a two-axle air-suspension setup for enhanced ground clearance over rough terrain, and a rear mechanical differential lock. In addition, there are also several off-road convenience features, most notably an off-road camera system, which provides the driver with a clear view of obstacles when traversing rough terrain.
The package further includes a roof rack and a tow hitch as standard. 20-inch alloy wheels are also present. The latter items are available with optional General Grabber tyres.

On the inside, the X5 Silver Anniversary Edition features an array of carbon-fibre trim elements, including “Silver Anniversary” plaques to remind the owner this is a special X5. Sports seats are also present.
