2002 BMW X5 - A True Superstar!
This is the finest automibile that I have ever owned. In fact, it is the finest vehicle that I have ever driven. The X5 has an uncanny ability to predict what the driver wants (and needs) and does it for / with you. It is refined and comfortable. I would buy it again in a heartbeat and will continue to drive one unless the rumored X7 comes out and then I might try the X7. The safety and comfort offered by the X5 is second to none. It is comfortable on long trips and is a blast on windy roads! It truly is "The Ultimate Driving Machine!"
Exceeded my expectations
I bought my 4.4 V8 as a certified pre owned. It was a prior demo with 21K miles on it. Now I have 54K with nary a problem. Change the oil, fill it with gas and go. And this baby goes, it handles just like a sports car. It is solid and tight. still has the new smell in it, from the ultra luxurious leather. I opted for one WITHOUT the sports package (the ride still is a little on the stiff side) but has everything else. Everything looks and works perfect,every time I detail it the car looks and feels like a brand new car. There is a lot to be said for BMW build quality and enginering. I still have the original tires and changed the brakes only once at 40K miles, unbelievable for a 4400 lb car.

Very happy with X5 4.6is
I have owned a number of BMWs (97 M3, 2000 M5, 2002 745i) and two X5s (2001 4.4i and 2002 4.6is). I liked the 4.4i and I like the 4.6is even better. In fact, I had a 2002 745i that was incredibly unreliable, so I traded it after six months for the 4.6is. Although the X5 is less technologically advanced, I don't regret the trade. The X5 is far more comfortable, more practical, less pretentious, and I enjoy it more. With comfort or sport seat options, the X5 has the most comfortable driving position of any car I've ever driven. It has been very reliable so far.
2002 BMW X5 4.6si
The best car I ever driven.
Not Bad
I have the X5 3.0, 5 speed. My 94 Explorer cannot compare to this vehicle. My X5 has great handling, very comfortable and not bad on gas. At first I did not like it (which was strange), but the more I drive it I liked it more. Great Vehicle.
2001 BMW X5
The Ultimate Driving Machine!
2001 X5 3.0I
Doesn't start on first turn of key about 40% of time. My 20K Honda always starts on first turn. Dealer doesn't recognize problem. Window Shade clips break easy..poor design. 2001 model assumes that casette tapes are in and thus provide storage for them...Car is loaded with features..Navigation system is difficult to turn off(voice) once it is on. Computer infor system loses its brain occasionally requiring user to inout the dates/times,etc. I reported this but BMW can't find the bug......
Look No More
After two years, I know we made the right decision. I only wished that we decided to purchase the X5 in lieu of the M CLass first. If you are looking for a SUV with performance and looks in one package, the X5 is the only one for you. If you are serious on buying the X5, dig a little more in your pocket and get the 4.4L since it offers more punch and standard equipment. If you add all the standards on the 4.4 compared to the options in the 3.0 for the same car, you will see that it is only a bit more. Believe me,you will not be disappointed!!! Happy driving!!!
x5 -da best
The structure of the x 5 is incredible, My family and i love this car. the comfort and luxury of this car is awesome.
Great Sport Sedan / Acceptable SUV
I have had basically good experience with my X5. I am a sport driving enthusiast and this is my family and commuting vehicle. As an SUV only the price for the functionality is kind of high. But, I like to drive. This one has the sport package. Basically, I gave up nothing in the fun to drive and handling areas to have the utility of an SUV like vehicle. It is fine to drive, unlike the wallowing beasts that other makers put out as SUVs. I hope I can drive this until the wheels fall off.
X% a bummer and NOT a bimmer
The X5 looks great and performs well during the first year. However, the vehicle does not keep "chuggin" like the other BMS's I owned. This one is a true American car. All the platic pieces start failing at 25,000 miles and the brakes, transmission and AC fail at less than 30,000 miles. BEWARE! The X5 is not really a BMW. It's good looks hide faulty workmanship.
Powerful Muscle SAV
Power, Fun, & Excitment. That's all in this SAV!
Simply the Best
Just took delivery of a X5 4.4. Previously owned a 01' 530ia. The X5 I find is built better and more solid. Tons more enjoyable to drive. Gas mileage is okay given the performance and weight of the vehicle. So glad I changed vehicles. Never looked back at my decision to trade the 5 series. The price may be steep but well worth it.
Good overall after 1.5 years
I've driven my 3.0 for 21,000 miles and have had a good experience thus far. Major complaints are the software glitches (fixed at 15k service), terrible cup holder location, various squeeks and rattles. The biggest disappointment is the squeeks and rattles. One in the back cargo area and one in the CD cover shield when down (leave up all the time now). If I wanted to deal with quality issues such as this I would have bought a GM or Ford. This has been a big disappointment.
problems only
I got my x5 3.0 for a 4 months now and went to service for 5 times . First week- check engine light on(bad fuel cap) second visit - same problem plus problems with memory seats (no solution). third visit - check engine light again (bad fuel hose)plus headlights getting foogy (new driver headlight) fouth visit - problems with am radio(no solution still suks!) plus headlights getting foggy again (passenger side) fifth visit next week - temperature in chicago 90 degree and a\c is not working. Dose anybody has the same problems ??? Let me know
3.0 X5
Amazing handling and a joy to drive. Drives like a car and hugs the road. Have driven Japanese and American models and this car by far is the best. A bit pricey but worth every penny (for now) until the competition makes a SUV that looks and handles like this X5. Occasional electrical gremlin will show up but so far nothing I can duplicate to get fixed.
Power to spare
Very enjoyable to drive. Owned for a little over 2 weeks. Very responsive, and effortless climbs uphill.
Excellent Car/SUV
I really love my X5 4.4i. Every time I get out of it I just can't wait to get back in! It's such a joy to drive. I have had a few problems with the radiator system though (overheating and such) but it seems to be fixed now and all was covered under warranty.
Exhilerating
I have owned M-Benz' in the past and then bought a 2000 528iT and thought that was simply incredible. But the X5 is awesome, simply awesome. Its exterior design is simply breath taking. But wait till you slip behind the wheel. All I can say is that you are in complete control driving the X5 whether you're taking it easy at 45mph or hauling at 105. If you have never been in love you will be now. DRIVE THE X5, OWN AN X5, AND LIVE WITH AN X5!!!
The Bubba Truck
Been a Ford Chevy man all my life but the wife liked the X5 and to repent for all my fishing and golf trips, and to keep taking them, I reluctantly agreed to buy har an X5. Mistake!!! I'm married to a BMWer Junkie! She loves it and wouldn't have anything else! I too have come to like it more than I'll admit to her. The handling in terrible weather is awsome, and the power is unbelieveable. The brakes are the biggest and best I've ever seen. The car has to be one of the safest ever made.
Solid So Far
I have had my X5 for about 8 months. It has been everything I had hoped for: fun to drive and comfortable. Everything is solid. Not a rattle or other problem (knock on wood). The paint job has been particularly impressive. I have taken a lot of rock hits at highway speeds, but I have not yet found one chip!
Not a real BMW
This SUV is ideal for people who prefer fine looks,elevated view of the road and allwheel drive system. but this isn't for BMW or driving enthusiasts because it really isnt' a typical BMW. It's also built in America.
incomparable
The vehicle is awesome. Though some may cost less or have a little more cargo room, nothing compares...I know because I drove them as well. Anyone rating another higher must not appreciate true workmanship, engineering, and capability...you do get what you pay for.
BMW Fan Forever!
This is my first BMW and I am never going to drive any other brand from now on. I love it, love it, love it! Although it may seem very pricey, it is well worth it. It has all the makings of a dream machine: speed, agility, luxury, and toys galore!(I'm still finding little perks here and there). I got it with the Xenon lights, heated seats and steering wheels,auto-dim mirror and moonroof, all pricey features but you won't regret it because they are oh so nice! This car does all the thinking for you on the maintenance factor, all you have to do is enjoy the drive!
X5 is the best suv
i love this vehicle, can't think of anything bmw is lacking
Best SUV By Far
Excellent on highway or city. I had a 5 series sedan and the X5 compares very favorably on driving fun but I can also throw my bike in it as well as on top. AWD will take you anywhere a sane person should go. If you can afford the entry price and the maintenance get one.
BMW X5
The X5 holds the road well has excellent pick up and responsive steering. It also has a really stiff suspension. One of the most comfortable things about the X5 is the cabin is abosolutely silent. Driving on the highway at 70 miles an hour you can't hear a thing.
X5, An Engineering Work of Art
2002 3.0Sp (white with sand and light wood)in line 6 with xenons, steptronic, rear climate, upgraded computer, lumbar and self dim mirrors is phenomenal! This is one first rate machine that is truely amazing. If I had all the money in the world, I would still choose this exact vehicle. The inline 6 is the smoothest engine in the world. Sweet, beautiful, classy responsive, solid and safe. What a combination!
Just want to rate this vehicle
Overall very happy with the X5. Nice styling and great performance all in one. Great handling in Lake Tahoe as well as touring around town. Nothing beats it in my books.
BMW X5
Great car runs well, build very good, exterior design the best, interior excellent, mileage good, performance excellent.
The Sportiest "SUV" Out There!
A true BMW performer! Have tested many other vehicles and always kept coming back to the X5. V8 is very fast and the quality finish is superb. Very sexy, eye catching and very safe, especially in a crash! Once you drive a BMW, you will not go back to anything else, it just gives you that special feeling and you know that everyone around you wished they had one too.
X5-Love Hate Relationship
Have 2001 x5 3.0. This car while a fine performer has had electrical problems from day one. Found my windows open over 15 times. Car still takes twice to start. Remote only worked when it wanted to until recent trip to dealership when they spent 1 week to redo electical system. Taking off trunk cover is major pain-broke it twice doing so. Twice had rear deck wiper blade torn off in car wash-must have it bagged or else. Friend had his car in over a dozen times for similar problems and ultimately BMW bought car back. Dealer says problems are now worked out. Still love to drive this car but am disappointed.
BMW X5
I have owned my X5 for approx, 18months. I have more fun than I have ever had driving. While the cargo space appears small, its capacity has never been an issue. The backseat room has generated more positive comments than any other vehicle I have ever owned. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a great SUV that loves to drive. One thing to remember is get the 4.4litre engine. Makes all the difference in the world.
This is a SUV
After a year of casual driving, this 3.0i still performs like new. You can see and feel the craftsmanship from in and out. The Neon lights are nice, the bold rear mirrors, and of course, it's BMW name (not someone said: Big Mouthed Woman). After a year of 7,000 miles endend driving, there has no problem yet. The set-up of on-board computer seems to be more than sophisticated than you want, but, live a real life then.
Get more than you pay for!
There is nothing else like it. The X5 is a wonderful do everything big sports car.

All hail the King
The BMW X5 is probably the most sportiest SUV on the planet. This Suv is beaming with power and excitement. When I ride this car I feel like I'm young again.
One car does it all
After owning Land Rovers, Land Cruisers, we tried the new 4.4 X5 It drove like a performance car on highways and mountain roads. Yet, we have driven the X5 on the same off roads and forest trails, it handled them as well. Only limit, road clearance less than Land Cruisers, BUT, far more power, handling, braking. Best overall car we ever had. Solid quality, excellent finish.
THE BEST SUV
I own my x5 for 1 year already ,and only one world is capable for this vehicle...exelent.Alot of people complain about small cargo area,but when you bought a bmw for 60g your concern is not put a 4x8 shetrrock inside a bautifull leather and wood truck.There is not other like the x5.
SPORT activity vehicle
The BMW X5 is the most wonderful car on the market. All its styles are praised for accenting the characteristics of a Sport Activity Vehicle. If one is looking for a bullet-proof truck with the ablility to compete with luxury sedans and sports cars in the same price range, this well built German beast is worth consideration. Needless to say, the X5 has a distinct lead on all SUVs in the world. The BMW X5 truly is an outstanding SAV. If it were up to me I would put it in its own category: SSAV(Sporty Sport Activity Vehicle).
BMW X5 4.4I
this is the best vehicule, that i have been driving in the past 10 years handeling and quitness is howesome, performance is great. i would recommend this vehicule to anybody this is not a true SUV but a hybrid, i would no use this vehicule for off road. this as great handeling in rain great fiture like rain sensor, smart remote, drive like a sport car but it is a SAV.
X5 3.0i
This is a great vehicle.I bought it because it had awsome safety.It is worth paying up for. I think it is my favorite car in the whole world.
Awesome
Not much to say.....best driving vehicle on the road regardless of price. Fit and finish is impecable and interior ergonomics are near perfect. Would recommend to anyone looking for the ultimate suv/sav.
improvements needed
We went from a Jeep Cherokee limted to an X5. The X5 is made for performance more than luxery. Some items that I would add are a screen that displays the gas milage left, and direction headed. The car is very fast, and comes with blinds for the back windows.
My new 02 X5
After owning several Bmw vehicles, i have finally reached the pinnacle of bmw quality combined with a fun to drive machine. I am very impressed with my X5's power, performance, comfort and off road prowess during the unexpected snow storms we received this year. I will definitely be keeping this vehicle and look forward to getting another new one in 2 or 3 years.
The best of the best
This Spot-ute's the best it pampers and gives me thrill that's un imaginable. I love this car.
The best SUV on the market!
If you can afford to splurge, and have always wanted a tough but civilized car that can hawl a payload then take you to the opera? Really, the X5 is the car to buy. I absolutely love this beauty/beast.
NoneBetter
I cannot imagine driving a better SUV. Aside from the 16mpg I average, the vehicle has no downside. During my first year of ownership the X5 was not a common sight on the street and I had dozens of people ask me about it. Now they have become very common and I can understand why. Mine is powerful, extremely comfortable and incredibly fun to drive. It's also given me a terrific sense of confidence, driving through the snow that was dumpen on the east cost this past weekend.
New to the BMW
I recently bought a used 02 X5 4.4, I wished I'd read these articles first. One person said he had problems with the mirror and seat memory -- ditto here. I have wasted time on several trips to the dealer to be told "We can't find a problem." No code found. I can't get a trailer hitch because they're on back order. I cannot get an aftermarket rear entertainment system because no one has any positive experience getting them put in. However, it is a mechanical beast. It is a jack-up sports car and it moves. Some days I think about getting rid of it but when I clean it up, I like it, and other do too.
Most fun car I have ever owned or driven
This car is pure fun!
