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

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

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.

Review
The car's performance and design is stellar. The
main drawbacks are the fuel economy and the
interior styling and functionality compared to less
expensive SUVs and cars.
Performance on the highway is excellent with plenty
of power at higher speeds. Cornering is solid, and
the responsiveness is very good.
There are a lot of blind spots towards the rear of
the car and I have had (and heard from others)
problems with the rear hatch closing properly and
staying shut - ughh.
AM radio is terrible, climate control is not very
good, trip computer is slightly old technology that
needs updating (e.g., trip timer, real time fuel
economy, etc.)

Best looking SUV for this size on the
market. 20" rims, super-wide low
profile tires, deep exhaust tones make
this combination unbeatable.
Performance almost equal to my AMG
Mercedes. Build quality unsurpassed.
Cannot wipe the smile off my face when
driving it. Purchsed the Imola Red so
this is even more rare (everyone has
black or silver). Handles so well I've
had to set the speed reminder to let
me know when I pass 80 mph (which is
often). If you are performance minded
and want a good looking high quality
vehicle, this is the SUV for you.
