Written by: mzwerin on Dec 02, 2007 09:40 AM

I have a 2007 X5 4.8i. I live about 20 miles north of San Francisco. Most driving is local with 50/50 freeway and city driving. I have 2000 miles on the car which is a blast to drive. My mileage has improved by 1 mpg to 13 in the city and ~ 20 mpg when driving 90 miles to Sacramento on I-80 wihch is mostly flat to small rolling hills. I NEVER put the vehicle in SPORT mode becuase ... Read More...

Re: 2007 BMW X5 Back up Camera [buosaiba]

Written by: mzwerin on Dec 02, 2007 09:27 AM

I have a 2007 X5. Can't see anything out the rear with the camera at night. Clearly the camera is pathetic and non IR illuminated. So, this AM I hardwired a pair of 55W low profile fog lights under the rear bumper to illuminate the back-up area for the camera. You didn't mention my most important back-up camera complaint: why would anyone design a backup camera (ostensibly ... Read More...

I love my X5 but I have had to have it in the shop A LOT! It looks, feels, and drives like a BMW which is good. Maybe all of the problems I encounter are because it is the first year of the new design (2007). If you get one, definitely get the 2008 model. Read More...

2007 X5 Reliability

Written by: bmw_bayarea on Nov 04, 2007 10:43 AM

Have had a 2007 X5 4.8i for 3 months. Only problem was that the parking sensors activated themselves (i.e., kept beeping) a couple of times. This problem is not re-curring so it is okay now. Otherwise, it is a fine vehicle with no other issues. Agree that the iDrive (including Navigation) could be better, i.e., more user friendly. Did not drive a 3.0i therefore, ... Read More...

2008 X5 4.8i Gas Mileage

Written by: bmw_bayarea on Nov 04, 2007 10:34 AM

I have had the 2007 X5 4.8i for 3 months. Average mileage is about 12 miles per gallon. This is mostly city driving, with red lights, etc. Mileage has been fairly consistent from the beginning. Therefore, if you are running at 9 MPG maximum, something is not right. If this does not improve, perhaps you should have it checked. Read More...

We currently are leasing a 2005 X5 3.0 (Our lease ends in six months). Our credit score is in the very high 700. We have made all our payments in time. We are so happy with this car that we would now want to lease a 2007 X5 4.8. We have done all our research on this vehicle and have a Edmond's TMV Pricing Report on it as well. My question to you is: A) Does it matter that we have ... Read More...

Re: 2006 vs 2007 X-5 [harry28]

Written by: anon3 on Oct 19, 2007 08:24 AM

A BMW used car sales person was promoting used X5 vehicles? There's a surprise. The old X5 was a nice vehicle (I had 4 of them). But I would not choose one over the new X5 unless I was looking for a bargain basement price. These forums have hundreds of posts on the improvements in the new X5 over the old model. It would be worth a look at the older posts if you're considering ... Read More...
