Review
I had the pleasure of driving my X5 in
Germany for six months before coming
back to the U.S. The X5 handles like a
dream especially at high speeds. Even
if the rear storage space is a little
tight, it has come in handy on numerous
occasions. The X5 is reliable and the
performance is
great.

My first BMW is an X5. I like the SUV,
not crazy about the dealership. They
switched the rims on the vehicle after
I purchased it. It was a demo. They
denied it, but my sales person even
said they did. Drives like a sedan.
Looked better with other rims. Great
Sienna red color. Only one in town.
Have had it 4 months and haven't had
any problems. Cup holders are
inconvenient. Difficult to remove and
replace rear cargo flap. Can't get the
garage door openers to work.

The light reading "Check Engine Soon"
will NOT go off. The dealership SAYS I
didn't put the gas cap on correctly.
Nope! I've tried dozens of times. It is
going to the shop soon. Once the A/C
just stopped for few minutes. What was
that?

I actually have the 2003 model I
purchased in 2002. I can't say enough
about this vehicle. I live on the east
coast and the past 2 winters have been
heavy snow and deep freezing temps. I
still went everywhere with this truck
and drove it like it was springtime.
The anti-lock braking system and DSC
system which does not allow the truck
to fish tail or roll is very
impressive. However, people who are not
familiar with these systems think the
truck does not handle well. You have
to trust the truck in an emergency.
The only negative aspect is the fuel
economy, mine gets 13mpg, I personally
don't care the truck is awesome!!!
If you can't afford it don't buy

Great SUV for around town and for out
of town trips. The V-6 provides more
than ample power. Fun to drive!

Review
We bought our X5 9 days ago and
couldn't be happier. We test drove the
Acura MDX, Lexus RX, and Land Rover
Discovery, but nothing compared to the
comfort and luxury of the BMW. The
others are extremely fine autos, and
the Land Rover is just an off road
monster (we had quite a bit of fun at
the dealer's obstacle course), but the
BMW was just a better fit for us. Tons
of rear seat room, although we
could use a touch more room in the
cargo area once in a while. The engine
and trans are awesome. I can't imagine
why anyone would want to silence the I-
6 any more than it already is. You
just can't beat the sound of a BMW.
If you're worried about mpg, get a
Honda.

A great experience to drive it!
Reliable and safe drive in all weather
conditions, specially in snowy and rainy
days. Fun to drive this comfortable SUV
will provide you with good fuel economy
(like 400 hundred miles with less than
3/4 of the tank of gas, hwy.)and lots
of great times. Enjoy driving it!
