Experience with BMW X-5
In 4 years and 49000 miles this car has been in the shop for a repair just twice, both under warranty. The car is as tight and fun to drive as the day I bought it. I never keep cars after the warranty has expired, but in this case I am making an exception. I can't find another car I like any better, and it is so good I figure maybe to save a little money and stay with it for another year or so.
BMW X5 Review
This has been a very good car. It now has 120000 miles. The only thing other than reg maint was the transfer case/transaxle was replaced at about 75000 miles. This wasn't under complete warr. BMW shared the cost even though strict maint had been documented. At 117000, I installed a new alternator . It cost 350.00 which was a deal compared to the 750.00 that BMW wanted. I did the labor myself. I repair cars for a living so I keep very good maint schedules on my stuff.
2000 BMW X5 4.4i AWD Automatic
Finish and quality of materials is first class. Performance is awesome! It handles in curves like any other BMW X5 or X6.
Looking for another brand next time
Many small things have gone wrong or broken in the vehicle, which meant many trips to the dealer to have them repaired. There were two major recalls, one regarding faulty acceleration, I almost gone plowed over by a tactor trailer when the truck did not accelerate through an intersection. The other for the braking system. Not a very pleasnt BMW experience for me and I was a tried and true customer. This was my third BMW. I am looking at other brands for my next SUV! Check carefully the cars history if you buy one used.
X5
The BMW of sport-utes earns its stripes with outstanding handling and acceleration, coupled with class- leading ride quality and way above average fuel economy. My 2000 has never been in the shop other than for scheduled maintenance. At 42000 miles the tires have another 20,000 in them, and the front brakes were just replaced.
Worst car or truck I have ever owned!
I have owned 6 different 3s and bought the suv for my wife because she wanted a suv. I have had good luck with my other BMWs but this X5 was the worst thing I have ever owned. It does have power and does drive more like a sports car then a suv but the thing was the worst built car I have ever owned. Everything that could go wrong has. I had a few friends that worked at the dealership and they told me they are junk but I already had purchased it and was stuck with it. After I started having problems I did some googleing and found tht everyone has the same problems. I am about to post it on craigslist for parts. I will never own another BMW. Crappy service too.
X5 ANOTHER DREAM MACHINE
IT'S A DREAM TO DRIVE WHETHER ITS CROSS TOWN OR CROSS-COUNTRY. TERRIFIC TRACTION IN ALL-TERRAIN. PLENTY OF ROOM TO COMFORTABLY RELAX AND ENJOY THE RIDE. MANUEVERS LIKE THE 5 SERIES SEDAN AND WITH ALL THE PUNCH OF M- SERIES. IT'S HARD TO IMAGINE IT CAN GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS!
X5
I owned a Corvette and a 4X4 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV until I purchased my X-5. The BMW combines both vehicles into one. It handles like the covette and has the utility of the Grand Cherokee. I will never by anything else.
Best SUV yet
This is the best SUV I have owned yet. A few minor issues, but considering how much is packed into this vehicle, I have no complaints. Extended warranty is probably a great investment. And of course....let's not forget the tax benefits.
the truth
car has gone to the shop many times. now i have about 38000 miles rain sensor,door locks,door knob drivers side,front suspension,computer in dash gone bad.All little things. car is under warranty so it is ok but for 57000$ ??????
Stay Away
I bought my very clean and well maintained X5 used about 2 years ago for about $7K. After a few thousand spent on the regular stuff, the timing chain guides disintegrated. After one year in the shop and a $7K repair bill it is still running rough and un-driveable. It has 118K on it and has been well kept. My first biggest mistake was buying it and my second biggest was paying to fix it thinking I would have a re-built ride. Don't be seduced by the comfort and fit/trim/etc. These things are a ticking time-bomb. I sort-of enjoyed it for 11 months after buying it even though it was a bit fussy with little stuff during that time. Basically that breaks down to $1300 per month that I spent on that disaster of an experience. Also, don't be fooled by the appearance of more than one star as a summary of this review because I had to give credit for comfort, etc. None of that is good enough to overcome the massive expense of timing chain failure.

2000 X5 Rating
For a first year production the X5 has proven to be a top performer. The X5 includes all of the BMW characteristics as the other models. We have experienced only minor problems, e.g. key remote control of outside mirrors is not consistent and is a problem BMW knows about. The console became difficult to open and was corrected. The tailgate has been criticized because it has a top and bottom that open independently. However, when you open the top part of the door everything stays in place rather than rolling out and down the hill, thanks to the bottom part of the rear door. Performance is awesome! It handles in curves like any other BMW and is a thrill.
Best Vehicle ever owned!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The BMW X5 is attractrive not only for it's safety features but it perfomance. My X5 is scary fast still drives like new and I have never ever had a mechanical issue. I will drive this car as long as I could.
