The 2010 BMW X5 was my entry into the BMW brand. It is a nice blend of car and SUV. I bought it with 12,000 miles so took advantage of a price discount by the dealer. I have put 14,000 miles on the car so far and have been pleased. The 2010 'control wheel' (which manages access to radio, navigation, etc.) is much more user friendly than I expected, and improved over 2009 and earlier versions. The finishes and quality earn the great reputation this brand has achieved. Have not had any service issues with the car since purchase.

I have owned my 2010 BMW X5 35d for 10 months and like the car more now than ever. The car is a pleasure to drive and gets very good mileage (about 29 mpg highway for me) for a large vehicle. The low-end torque of the diesel makes it a fun and safe car to drive. Some people like to hate iDrive, but in 2010 BMW fixed the main issue by adding buttons so that many features can be accessed in one step rather than navigating through menus. This is an amazingly clean diesel. Hold your hand behind the exhaust for a while. There is no soot or smell. Great for driving family and dogs around town and on long trips.

I bought this car at used with 35000 miles on it in 2014. This is the best used car that I'd ever drive. I owned quite a few luxury cars. X5 35d is the most pleasure for me to drive in road with great milage and power.

Not totally in love

My husband loves the engine. It's quiet and peppy. We live in the country and are averaging only 20 mpg. You really do have to read the owner's manual. On the down side my car sits at the dealership because the computer system went down at service and a part has to be manufactured. Five weeks and counting. BMW has been attentive to the situation.

I got the car from a family member at 14k. I have driven it for 135k. It has been a wonderful SUV in every way. It has been very reliable. Normal maintenance items are about 10% more than other makes, brakes, tires, oil changes etc. Other expenses, A new radiator at 60k; $1000.00, transmission oil change at 90k; $800.00, new battery in 7 yrs; $400.00, Footwell module and electric brake actuator at 147k; $2500.00. It doesn't ask to be fed often, but when it does it can be a bit spendy. However, how can you complain? At 153k the fuel pump which had been replaced on a recall failed. the car required to to the repair shop $1300.00. 160k the fuel pump failed again. Time for this old soldier to go.
