Question 1

Which engines does the new BMW X5 have in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

The 40 petrol with 400 PS, the 40d diesel with 313 PS, and two plug-in hybrids: the 50e with 489 PS and the M60e with 612 PS. Every version has a 3.0-litre engine, xDrive and an automatic gearbox.

Question 2

What is the electric range of the BMW X5 50e and M60e?

Accepted Answer

Both carry a 26 kWh battery: the 50e has an official electric range of 105 km and the M60e 99 km. They pay BPM on their WLTP CO₂ figure like any other car, as plug-in hybrids have had no tariff of their own since 2025.

Question 3

How is a new BMW X5 taxed in the Netherlands?

Accepted Answer

The one-off BPM, set by WLTP CO₂, is already in the list price, and the 40d adds a diesel surcharge for each gram above 69 g/km. The MRB is then billed per quarter on weight and fuel plus your province's opcenten; a car of the X5's weight sits in the upper bands, and the diesel pays a fuel surcharge on top.

Question 4

When does a new BMW X5 need its first APK?

Accepted Answer

The 40 petrol and the two plug-in hybrids go first at four years, then at six and eight years and every year after that. The 40d diesel goes first at three years and then yearly.

Question 5

Is a new BMW X5 worth it over a used one?

Accepted Answer

A new X5 carries the full factory warranty and the options you choose. A used one on Dutch plates has already paid its BPM and absorbed its steepest years of depreciation; on a used plug-in, check that the battery still gives a range close to the official one.
