Question 1

Which engines does the new BMW X5 have in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

The 40 xDrive petrol with 400 PS, the 40d xDrive diesel with 313 PS, the 50e xDrive plug-in hybrid with 489 PS and the M60e xDrive plug-in hybrid with 612 PS. Every version has xDrive all-wheel drive and an automatic gearbox.

Question 2

How much road tax does a new BMW X5 50e pay in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Usually the €30 minimum, because a plug-in hybrid is taxed on its engine's WLTP CO₂ figure, which its 26 kWh battery keeps low. The 40d pays with the 0.9 diesel factor and a band factor that rises with its CO₂.

Question 3

Does a new BMW X5 bought in Germany pay VAT in Luxembourg?

Accepted Answer

Yes, a car under 6,000 km or less than 6 months old pays 17% Luxembourg VAT wherever in the EU it was bought. Customs then issues the vignette 705 that the SNCA needs to register it.

Question 4

Should I buy a new BMW X5 or a used one?

Accepted Answer

A new X5 brings the full factory warranty and the latest plug-in hybrid technology. A large, expensive SUV loses much of its value in its first years, so a young used X5 can cost far less.
