Serving Fairfax, VA

Our sales associates at BMW of Fairfax are often asked about the differences between the 2023 X5 and the X7. These are midsize crossover SUVs with bold appeal, and they both debuted their current generation in the 2019 model year. Despite these similarities and their relationship as close siblings, the X5 and the X7 have sharp differences. At BMW of Fairfax, we want you to make a new SUV selection that delivers pure enjoyment over the years, and we are available to support you with your model research.
