  • 2014 BMW X5 Individual

    BMW has announced a new range of Individual accessories for the 2014 X5. The elegant design, luxurious ambience and exclusive character of the SAV (sports activity vehicle) are now strengthened by the new accessories.

    The manufacturing processes behind the BMW Individual products developed for the new BMW X5 are underpinned by precision craftsmanship and longstanding experience in working with choice materials.
