No problems in 70k miles. Solid, well built truck. Wonderful vehicle. Not a lot of room in the rear.

Awesome car but it is time to go. I have loved owning and driving the X5 4.4i but it is time to go. After 3 yrs and 37m miles...I have a number of recurring problems. I have been in the shop 6 times this year and i am currently waiting for another service apointment. The electrical system is horrible and I feel like I am always on the verge of the next disaster. It is a wonderful car to drive...but I would wait until BMW gets a better grasp on the electrical problems.

It's a cool car. I've had many SUVs before, and this X5 is best I've ever driven. Really sticks to the ground

My X5 is comfortable and has plenty of power, even though it is the 6 cylinder. I have had it back and forth to the local dealership at least 15 times while I have owned it with various problems. Some of the problems, from a faulty security system to a steering wheel that was replaced and still didn't function properly were repetitious. I will be trading this vehicle in immediately. Bad mistake.

3 Years of Mostly Fun

After 3yrs of driving, experience has been mostly good. Fun to drive, decent fuel economy. Biggest problem has been window lifts! Every lift has been replaced once, driver door twice. Have been told by dealer this is a weak point in a number of BMW products. Other problems have been peeling door handles, gas tank sensors. Dealer has been great, taking care of us. Thinking hard as to whether to lease another one. Window lifts are biggest concern to us on an otherwise good experience.
