Model History[]
The Matchbox BMW X5 debuted in 2002. The casting was in production as MB539 from 2002 to 2006 before being discontinued and as MB596 from 2005 to 2011 before it was discontinued as well. The casting returned as MB872 in 2014 for the 1-120 mainline. It has been modified as the separate piece lightbar has become part of the windows and the copyright updated to 2014.

- MB535: with opening frontdoors
- MB539: without a light bar on the roof
