New and used 2026 BMW X5 xDrive40i for sale near Hornsby Bend, TX

My spouse and I had been thinking about retiring our 2015 Acura TLX, and had recently begun looking into battery electric vehicles (BEVs) for a number of reasons. The Acura was a fantastic driver's car, but it was heavy, had a big thirsty V6, and was starting to show its age. We knew the federal tax credit for buying or leasing a BEV was going to expire at the end of September, so we began to explore more seriously the idea of replacing the ICE Acura with a like-for-like BEV. Turns out there is not really a like-for-like BEV for the sedan body style; American preferences in the last ten years have gone all in on SUVs/CUVs and there are very few BEV sedans on the American market. After considerable research, which involved eliminating body styles and manufacturers we didn't like, we ended up with two potential vehicles that met our criteria. One of them was the BMW i4, which reviews have noted is a great choice to test the waters of the BEV landscape without feeling like you've stepped into a spaceship. After looking at local inventory, I reached out to Grant Anderson at South Austin BMW for a test drive request. We test drove a 2025 certified pre-owned (CPO) i4, and enjoyed everything that a BEV sedan has to offer: near-instant acceleration, quiet interior, and excellent handling characteristics. The i4 is basically a 3-series Gran Coupe with the gasoline engine removed and a battery and electric motor put in its place, and really does feel like an ICE vehicle (which was an important consideration for us). Grant was a consummate sales adviser, much more than a traditional salesperson. It is very clear he cares deeply not just about the brand and the particular vehicles he is showcasing, but also about the customer experience. He is friendly and engaging, in a way that immediately endeared him to both of us. He spoke about the vehicle in ways that implied he knew it beyond the spec sheet, which I appreciate. He also didn't push anything, from the vehicle itself to the means of purchasing it, which was even more appreciated and a big reason why the vehicle is now in the garage at home. Grant explained (patiently) why leasing an EV, especially our first EV, might be the better way to go, and when we were hesitant, spent even more time working through the pros and cons of both leasing or cash purchase. He was logical in his arguments, but also clearly passionate about wanting us to have the best experience possible while we have the vehicle in our possession. In the end, he did his job with professionalism, courtesy, friendliness and panache. It's always stressful purchasing a vehicle, but Grant made it almost enjoyable. I've definitely enjoyed chatting with him, both in the purchase process and subsequent follow-ups, and I look forward to a continued positive relationship in the years to come. The overall experience at BMW South Austin was very positive, from the initial meet-and-greet to the test drive, to the negotiation on the price and the finalization of the deal with the finance team (shout out to Heidi for doing a tough job very well and so pleasantly). We're pleased with our decision, and happy with Grant and the folks at South Austin BMW for helping us make it.

Best vehicle I have ever purchased. The ride, handling, power, performance, comfort and even fuel economy is impressive. Now I get what the big deal is about BMW's

I’ve bought several cars from BMW of Austin. Troy is the best and always helpful. It was a great car buying experience and they made it very easy.

Worked with James Stewart to purchase my car. I live out of state, so having never stepped foot inside the dealership, James made the process as seamless as possible and was an absolute pleasure to work with.

BMW of Austin, and Troy Massey, are a pleasure to deal with. Troy has a wonderful sense of humor and is extremely professional. We have leased four cars from Troy, and it’s been an absolute pleasure. From the moment you arrive to look at cars until you drive home with your new car, the process is effortless

I have been a customer of BMW OF Austin since 2017. I have known Mr. Tim Montgomery for as many years. Tim has been my Service Advisor since I first bought my BNW. I could not ask for a better person to take my car to in times of need. Tim is an exemplary individual. Professionally, he is thorough, patient, and very competent in taking care of my service needs. He is a very good listener, and he will address my concern no matter the magnitude, until he finds a satisfactory solution. In several instances, he has brought in specialists to provide me with a satisfactory explanation and fixed the problem. Socially, I see Tim as a friend. He is very welcoming, respectful and with a great sense of humor. I am fortunate that I have such a reliable individual to work with.

Corey Rutherford is the person to use if purchasing a vehicle. He exemplifies much passion for his job and dedication to his clients. For approximately six months, we had been searching for a particular vehicle with specific features and had spoken with many car salesmen throughout the process. Of the many dealerships we encountered, Corey stayed in touch with us; although, we are out of state, until he found the right car. He is amazing and goes above and beyond to meet all expectations while being courteous and respectful throughout the process. He is FABULOUS!!

Grant Anderson was very knowledgeable and friendly (and patient, too). Took time to build a relationship and really understand my specific needs/desires. (Also, a big thank you to Lucas Boyd, sales, and Spencer Morey, finance, who were very professional and personable as well.) Impeccable showroom. Fantastic experience.
