X5 Height unladen

[Allanv]

After much deliberation I have decided the roads in the UK are getting too much for the 130i to withstand and so is my back.

So I thought maybe an X5 but the garage has a low entrance and therefore would need to check if it indeed would fit under the garage door.

As for length well a 3 series fits with walk around room so assuming the X5 inst as long as a hummer I should be ok.

So I am looking for unladen height of the X5 if anyone has it to hand, and unless it is me being stupid I cannot find it via google-foo.

Thank you

Try Parkers.co.uk - Latest X5 figures

I find door mirror width is often the awkward bit - I have to fold them in to get my X3 in the garage

Thank you Sir.

I can open all 4 doors of the 130i in my garage but height is the only issue, I did forget about parkers, yet I used to be a forum member until it all went a bit weird.

with the current car I have 3' front and 3' rear and if I centre the car 2.5' each side so like I said the height is going to go against me I think, unless I raise the roof.

I do have the drive but after 17 years of parking the car in the garage it would go against the grain.

But again thank you that helps a lot.

Looking at the manuals for my past and current E70s both show overall vehicle height as 1776mm. That does appear to be to the centre line of the roof and excludes roof rails - higher on the SE than on the M Sport. Couldn't see a figure that definitively included the roof rails.

Just go onto the BMW website (New Cars), select X5 and then Technical Data and you should then find all the dimensional data you need.
Not too tricky!
