Safety

Safety rating	No crash-test rating for this version note Global NCAP has not tested the X5, and the X5's Euro NCAP and ANCAP ratings have both expired, so no current crash-test rating applies to this car. Euro NCAP's 2018 five-star rating for the X5 has expired, so it no longer applies to the car on sale. If Euro NCAP rates a version matching this specification, the result belongs on this page. ANCAP's 2018 five-star rating for the X5 expired in December 2024, so it no longer applies to the car on sale. If ANCAP rates a version matching this specification, the result belongs on this page.
Airbags	6 note South African specification listings for the X5 xDrive30d M Sport give six airbags. BMW South Africa does not itemise them.
Airbag positions	Driver, Front passenger, Front side (driver and passenger), Head (front and rear) note Positions from BMW's technical specification for the facelifted X5 in European markets, which lists front, front side and front-and-rear head airbags. BMW South Africa itemises no positions, but the six airbags listed for the South African car match this layout.

Spare wheel & SA ownership

Spare wheel	Space-saver Compare spare wheels across all SUVs → note South African BMW dealers list an emergency spare wheel together with run-flat tyres as standard on the current X5 xDrive30d M Sport, and BMW South Africa's earlier X5 equipment list showed the same pair, with the spare stored under the boot floor.
Service network	~46 authorised service points, as at 18 August 2026 Provincial spread not measured. Motorplan retailers, 6 of 6 sampled. Count is BMW South Africa's own published figure rather than a locator tally, so no provincial spread was measured; range 46-48. Premium networks are deliberately smaller and differently distributed.
