The 2025 BMW X5 Shadow Edition is a new special edition based on the popular large luxury SUV, bringing a darker appearance for a premium of close to $10,000.
It’s the latest vehicle from the Bavarian brand to wear the Shadow Edition moniker, following the special 3 Series of 2017, 1 Series of 2019 and X7 of 2020.
Priced at $146,900 before on-road costs and now available for delivery, the X5 Shadow Edition costs $9300 more than its X5 xDrive30d donor vehicle, which is priced at $137,600 plus on-roads in either xLine or M Sport guises.
