The 2018 BMW X5 measures 4.92 m long and 2.20 m wide (including door mirrors). A standard UK parking bay is 2.4 m wide by 4.8 m long, so here's how it stacks up.

At these dimensions it sits outside a standard bay — it's 0.12 m longer than the bay. Expect some overhang, which is usually fine in open or end bays but can be a problem where the space backs onto a wall, walkway or another row.

Its turning circle is 12.6 m (kerb to kerb) — on the larger side, so expect to need a bit more room to swing into a space.
