Mileage and running cost: These two figures are not like for like. The BMW X5 number is for the Diesel/Petrol Automatic and the BMW 5 Series number is for the Petrol Automatic, so compare the variants you are actually shortlisting.
Space and practicality: The BMW X5 takes 645 litres against 500, about 145 litres more. That is roughly one extra cabin-size bag of extra room.
What one gives that the other does not: The BMW X5 adds Brake Assist, Traction Control, Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), ISOFIX Child Seat Mounts and Hill Descent Control. The BMW 5 Series adds Side Airbag-Rear, Curtain Airbag, Anti-Pinch Power Windows, Pretensioners & Force Limiter Seatbelts and Hill Assist. The rest of both spec sheets is shared.
Which one should you buy?
Buy the BMW 5 Series if you drive mostly in the city, you want the lower running cost, and you would rather keep the ₹96.90 L for your down payment than spend it on features.
Buy the BMW X5 if you do regular highway runs, you carry luggage or a pram often, and you want Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) without waiting for the next facelift.
The one thing that settles it: BMW X5 offers Brake Assist.
Before you sign anything:
Ex-showroom price is not what you pay. Add registration, road tax, insurance and handling, and expect the final figure to land ten to twelve percent higher. Road tax changes state to state, so a car that costs the same in two cities does not cost the same to own.
Ask the dealer four things before you book. What is the current waiting period for the variant you want. What is the on-road figure.
Then drive both cars back to back on the same day, on a road you actually use. Take your family. Put your usual luggage in the boot. Most people decide in the first ten minutes, and it is rarely for the reason they expected.
