Should you find yourself seeking a midsize luxury SUV for your next daily driver, we here at BMW of Monrovia feel you should make a point to try ours, the 2017 X5, on for size.

And why, exactly, is that?

Allow AutoGuide.com Road Test Editor Dan Ilika to explain; he's here with more on all things X5:

A superb pick for the speed-obsessed, the X5's range-topping engine -- a turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 -- is a brilliant beast, indeed.

Standard with the xDrive50i model, this turbo-V8 musters a mammoth 445 horsepower and 480 pound-feet of torque. What's more, it also can make extremely short work of the 0-to-60 mph sprint, arriving there in a flat-out freakish 4.9 seconds.

So, what're you waiting for, faithful friend? The time is now to experience the splendor of this SUV. As such, we invite you to pop by our Monrovia, CA facility, whereupon we'll happily arrange a test drive in the X5, or any other BMW model that's ensnared your attention.
