It feels like a Bimmer

This is one of the best handling SUVs (or SAV according to BMW) I've driven, equalled only by the new MDX. But what differentiates the X5 from the MDX are the tangible and intangible qualities of a BMW (handling, quiet cabin, solid build, "growl" of the engine, great styling and the looks you get on the street). We loaded the car up with lots of toys - let's hope it's as reliable as their airtight 4-yr maintenance program. The only areas of improvement are the unnecessarily complex iDrive and limited legroom in the 3rd row.

BMW used to be the signature of performance and reliability. Today at BMW it is all about profits, gone are the days where you could drive your bimmer 100k with no problems. This is our second X5 in two years, as we thought our first was just a one off lemon. Let me warn you! If you own one of these trucks be prepared to fix it. I don't mean when it hits 100k. I mean 50, 60k! This last experience sent us over the edge as telescoping wheel motors failed and the tail lamp malfunction was reported on the computer and BMW said $150.00 to replace just the light and over a grand for the steering wheel motors Whatever I said and traded it in. Do yourself a favor a buy a Infiniti or Lexus!

Very Disappointed - Definitely not worth the money

I purchased a used 2007 BMW X5 less than 1 year ago. This is my FIRST luxury vehicle & I've always heard GREAT reviews about BMW. Within my first year of ownership, I have spent numerous hours in the BMW Service Department having MAJOR repairs done to this vehicle. They have replaced the transmission, the radiator, solenoid valve twice, latch on 3rd seat broke off completely, brake fluid flush, and I'm heading back into the service department this week bcuz the CEL is on again for the 3rd time in 7 weeks. I'm extremely disappointed & would not recommend this vehicle (or any BMW) for purchase. Not the QUALITY that I thought I was getting for my money.

Our X5 was bought new in February 2007 and regularly maintained thereafter. It was our fourth Bimmer and, probably, our last. The car was comfortable, had good performance, and good looks. The I-drive was OK and there were enough knobs and buttons to help you avoid using it. Panoramic sunroof was great, wished we'd used it more often. The first several years were uneventful, just what you want in a car. The last few, however, were anything but. We got to the point where we were afraid to take it out for more than 100 miles. We spent $3,400 getting a "valley" gasket fixed. That was the beginning, leaks began showing underneath the car. Not only oil but brake fluid, power steering fluid, etc. Our local, well-regarded BMW specialist said to get it steam cleaned top and bottom so they could assess where the leaks were coming from. I read horror stories from other owners about mid four figure repair costs for leaks, one guy spent $8,000! After the steam cleaning our mechanic wouldn't return my phone calls, I think he knew he could only give me very bad news if they put it up on their lift. The steam cleaner said not to drive the car very far after the cleaning because the leaks looked to be numerous. With great relief we traded it in on a new Acura RDX last week after having driven it 98,000 miles. The guys who write the BMW commercials should build the cars because BMW reliability is a thing of the past.

X5 at it's best!

I absolutely love my new X5. My husband and I argue over who is going to get to drive it on a daily basis. We previously owned a 2005 X5 and loved that vehicle as well; however this new model puts that one to shame. Definitely the best SUV around!
