  | Canadian Driver - Test Drive: 2007 BMW X5 4.8i  Rather good looking wouldn't you say?    The alphabet-soup of active safety goodies includes ABS, DSC-X (dynamic stability control), HDC (hill descent control), ADB-X (automatic differential brake) and TSC (trailer stability control). My Space Grey Metallic tester had the $2900 Premium Package which adds comfort access, comfort seats, lumbar support and a Harmon/Kardon LOGIG7 sound system. Also on the list was the $1200 Rear Climate Package (heated rear seats, automatic 4-zone climate control and electric rear sun shade) and the $1300 Activity Package (ski bag, storage compartment package, headlamp washers and aluminum running boards). Avoid this last one if you can. The running boards may look cool, but their only apparent function is to soil your trouser legs every time you exit the vehicle. Along with the expected sybaritic niceties, the new X5 scores well on utility too. The 60/40 split rear seats fold down flat with the headrests in place and there is a small flip down tailgate, which proved handy for loading heavy items and made a nice landing pad for our furry canine, who for some reason, insisted on wearing her fake antlers for this photo shoot. With the 2007 X5, BMW has expanded on the strengths of the original, and addressed its main shortcoming, which was a dearth of storage space. More sport and more utility: can’t argue with that.
