Used 2011 BMW X5 M Consumer Reviews
Went in for a GT - left with X5M
I thought the GT 5 would be a nice blend of performance and function. The sales manager suggested I drive the X5M. The X5M was much more fun to drive and more functional. Surprisingly comfortable than the GT with a more supple ride. The ride is tons better than a standard X5. The M's handling rivals virtually any sport sedan. It is big and heavy and the mileage is atrocious - but expected. Don't have enough miles to judge reliability.
Beast
The nicest driving car I have ever driven, it grips on the road very nicely,a very well built vehicle

Elevated joy
I thoroughly enjoy my X5M and only wish it had even more torque and horsepower. As an owner of a Porsche 911 Turbo, I appreciate fine engineering and performance and this machine doesn't disappoint. It also comes equipped with all the modern amenities not normally associated with German cars, user friendly nav system, two mp3 connections, every toy you could possibly want. Keyless entry, 4 cameras, sensors, it's impossible to find a flaw.
Fast & fun & practical
Out-handles most sport sedans. Seriously fast. The most comfy seats i have ever owned. A real homeowner SUV. Seriously expensive maintenance past 70k mile, like $5000 to $7500 per year.

***Gas guzzler***
Own it for about 2 years now, it's really bad on gas but what do you expect from an 8 cyl with over 550hp beast. I also have an S55 AMG so I could compare the two, X5M is more family friendly since it has more cargo space for those long road trips and very sturdy feel while driving those miles.
