X5 Performance

I have had an excellent experience owning my third BMW. The X5 has been great in performance as a sports SUV as well as a work horse SUV. I consistantly tow a 3800lb boat and drive in the rockies. The 3.0L has been reliable and trouble free. It had a few recalls in '02 but they were fixed quickly. Over all a 9.5 out of ten.

My requirements were simple: safe, fun to drive, reliable, stylish, and able to both serve as a commuter car and tow my boat. Answer: A 2001 BMW X5 3.0i. It's gotten safety awards, seats 5 comfortably, drives like a BMW, looks great, and both tows my boat and serves as my daily driver, averaging 19.2 MPG in Chicagoland traffic.

We have a black on black x5 with every option 4.4L and we love it. The x5 has perfect crash scores, performance, technology, comfort, and a lot more. The x5 is the sportiest and best out of the bunch.

Handling and build quality are the most outstanding features of this vehicle. Aside from the limited space aft and poor AM/FM radio, the X5 exudes a sense being sure footed and coveys confidence in its ability to cope with any all-road conditions, be it ice, snow, standing rain, etc. The most stable , best handling vehicle in the catagory that we have owned, (Jeep Grand Cheroke, Ford Explorer, Pathfinder SE).

Bought it as a Certified Preowned with 25K on it. It is the most desirable SUV in its class. After several road trips with a baby, we like its safety features, ability to get places quickly and decent fuel mileage. There are some electrical gremlins that I can not duplicate for the dealer that only happen 20% of the time.

I bought the bmw and was in love from the first time i rocketed away. The pick and top speed of (234 km/h) was great and this is the 3.0 liter. the braking is EXCELLENT and the turning great too! Overall you think you are in a sports car and the handling is stiff and reactionary. If you want a mean machine that can get you here to there in style and comfort then this is the year and the model to get , better on gas then the 4.4 and 4.6, 4.8 aswell. Holds its price too!

I bought the vehicle new in 2001 and ordered the special Mahogany metalic paint. My wife is the main driver and she loves it. It is powerful and agile and handles like a automobile. We have had a little problem with the electrical in the lights. The front side lamps and the back tail lights seem to have a problem. Other than that we are very satisfied.

I have had major problems with my X-5. Most seem to have been electrical. It is in the shop every other month. The problems range from dieing while driving to headlights and directionals burn outs. The car only has 23000 miles on it and should not be experiencing such problems. On the other hand, BMW service has deteriorated. The dealership even scratched the vehicle and refuses to pay for it. Corporate has been no help with resolving the issue. I will never buy another BMW.

Model rushed to market without adequate testing in my opinion.Good in snow; HVAC wheel controls replaced; door handle replaced due to peeling; ball joints replaced after 20,000 miles (car never driven off road) to correct cluncking noise; followup service necessary to replace bushings as well. This is unacceptable premature front end failure for a vehicle designed for off road use..Cabin fairly quiet.

I have enjoyed this car from day one, and over a year later, still love it. I initially test drove the Acura MDX (several times), and even had a deposit on one. I drove the X5 once, and immediately canceled my MDX order. It handles like a dream, has enough pep off the line, and the major components are of quality build. People always comment on the heaviness of the doors upon first entering, and there is an overall "sturdy" feel.

We've now had our X5 for almost 2 years. We love it! I'm not sure what the others, including Consumer Reports, are talking about with all of their problems. Since we've had our car, it has NEVER been in the shop for any problems except for service maintenance (knock on wood). We love the the power of the 3.0 and the gas mileage (around 450mi to the tank). It's a great car to drive and being ranked #1 in safety keeps me at rest in a world with some irresponsible drivers. I agree with all the positive comments in the other posted messages (no need to repeat what has already been said).

I own the 4.4 and love this SAV. The power is incredible and it handles great. If you look at the specs of the 2003 Range Rover you will see it's a larger X5 4.4. The door locks keep malfunctioning and the navigation system isn't worth the money but this truck is so much fun to drive.

I have had my X5 for over 1 year. In my opinion, the vehicle has excellent handling in heavy rain as well as dry pavement. The car has precision steering and is very stable under emergency turns and maneuvering specially at high speeds; much more stable than the Chevy Tahoe, Grand Cherokee & Explorer. The seats are very comfortable and the cabin is quite both attributes induce less fatigue during long trips.

Having driven a sedan for so long, I wasn't sure how I would like the feel of a SAV, but I was pleasantly surprised with this vehicle. The handling and performance lived up to BMW's reputation of excellence. The 6 cylinder engine made acceleration effortless. The sleek and well designed interior allows for easy access to all buttons. I was truly impressed with this vehicle.

Its performance is rated at best compare to the other cars I've driven. The handling is awsome. It's a beautiful car from the outside, but terrible from the inside. There are lack of gadgets and toys compare to the Japanese vehicles. However, since I bought this car, I had to take a day off work at least once every other months to take it back to the dealership for service. My window broke 3 times. It doesn't roll up and down. The light gets burned out. The fuse burned out. I can give you a long list, but you get the idea. So if you are willing to deal with the problems just so that you can have an out performed car, than this car is for you.

For the last 9 years I drove US made SUVs....3 differents models and all v8 engines however I exeperiences disappointments from the very first week that I drove any of them. With the BMW X5 I had a paradigm change, finally I can drive a SAV that meet my expectations....and it is a V6 3.0 Liters..price wise?? Altought the montly leasing cost went up of almost $ 150.00 I save at least $ 100.00 in fuel consumption....so for $ 50.00 more per month I got myself I real deal. Thank you BMW...

Dear BMW, Please build your next X5 line with two major changes: 1: Do something about the terrible build quality. I have owned mine for almost 3 years now, and it's been in the shop about once every 2 months (or more often) the whole time. The worst incident was when it took your dealership's repair folks THREE separate attempts to fix my leaking radiator expansion tank (and I may be about to make a 4th trip to get it fixed AGAIN). 2: Make the damn thing 6 inches longer, and put all the extra space in the cargo area (and btw, offer a 3rd row seat while you're at it).

The 2001 BMW X5 supports BMW's mantra of performance. My vehicle performs as well as some sports cars (4.4 & sports package required) and provides excellent acceleration. I am disappointed in the vehicle quality (radiator crack) along with numerous computer/electronic failures (engine, transmission, fuel gauge, CD player,etc) requiring unnecessary trips to the local dealer. In the three years of leasing the vehicle, I have had the vehicle towed three times (all between 15K - 28K miles). My expectation for a $60,000 vehicle are much higher than a $30K vehicle and will purchase a Lexus or Infiti vehicle next.

Certified Preowned with 24k miles. Over 3 months we had over 15 different problems & took it in for repairs 6 times. From break problems to false airbags lights to buzzing under the dash to CD door sticking to loose driver side mirror they never could tighten even after installing a brand new kit. The dealership finally bought the car back from us.

Purchased a 2001 X5 3.0 and it came with the pre-owned certification. Sold my Grand Cherokee and bought this and have total regrets. X5 only had 23000 miles when purchased and it has been back to the shop 3 times in the last month. Many little mechanical and electrical things wrong with the car. Fortunately Classic BMW in Mentor, Ohio has been fantastic and has fixed everything with no problems, but I wish I took my $35k and bought a new Volvo or Acura. Do your homework before you buy this car! Read the reviews, the problems people are having are real!

Aside from the numerous service issues which has precluded me from being able to drive the car over the past year and a half, I now have a battery that won't hold a charge. According to BMW - "if you don't drive your car 1000 miles a month, you are ABUSING Your car and the warranty is not valid" for the battery. How bout that? Another $250 down the drain..

Purchased a fully loaded X5 3.0 September 2002 and could not be happier. This vehicle is well crafted and very powerful. Test drove the MDX and was not impressed with handling and design compared to the X5. Highway and local driving is an absolute pleasure. Interior design is carefully thought out and comfortable. This is a great SAV!

Bought it for Valentine's Day and she loves it!! A little rougher ride coming from a '97 Acura RL but the handling, acceleration, and sound system are awesome. This is the only SUV my wife liked that doesn't make her feel like 'soccor mom'! So far, I've just noticed a rattle in the driver's door and in the rear climate control unit, but overall I am inpressed with the solid feel of the X5. We've test driven multiple MDXs and have not felt as secure. With the CPO warranty and lots of prayer, I hope to limit my trips to the dealer for service.

What do you get from BMW's latest 50K+ SUV? I think of it as a Pinto in a 3 piece suit. Looks great, fun to drive but an absolute junker in terms of quality and reliability, not to mention some of the worste customer service I have ever experienced. BMW USA has proven to be horrible in terms of customer service and apparently have no problem leaving thier customer's literally out in the cold. If your looking to drop 50K on an SUV don't

The 2001 X5 3.0 I own has been the best Suv I've owned and they include pathfinders, Durangos, Explorers and Escalades. The blend of Size and performance reminds me more of a five series sedan then a SUV. It could use a bit more cargo capacity but I have more then adapted to that. Ride comfort is excellent and the power and handling on the highway are outstanding. I compared the Mercedes, Land Rover and Lexus before purchasing and was more impressed by the Style, price and performance of the X5

Since purchasing my X5, we have been on several long trips and absolutely love the comfort, convenience of controls and just simply love the drive this car! The frontal visibility is unlike any other and the interior is so roomy and comfortable that you get spoiled and don't want to take any other vehicle - anywhere. Alway reliable, drives and feels like a 740I with 4 WD.

Quality of interior is very high, and my entire family loves this vehicle, from the comfort standpoint. The ride with the sports suspension is firm, but this is again what one would expect. It rewards the driver with excellent road manners and confident road feedback.

This is the best car I have ever owned. I love to drive it. It goes so fast! It makes me feel like a race car driver. It is beautiful too. The only thing I would change if given the chance is the lack of a drink holder. There is one but it is really small. It is right in the center, behind the gear shift. It has a lid and use that compartment for storage of loose change.

Don't buy another SUV until you check out the BMW x5. It's fast comfy and fun to drive. Its excellent on fuel. Good on long trips and is spacious. I am 6.5 feet tall and I fit in it fine. No problems with my BMW x5 3.0 yet
