I love the vehicle. I imported from Singapore with 38000 Km on the odometer. I enjoy the car. However, I have experienced two problems that I have not been able to solve. One the radio/CD just went off whilst driving and havent been able to put it on since. Today I switched on the car and could not start, the computer display indicated code. A few times the boot has refused to open, but it would later open after a day or so, seems to be an electronic problem Can someone provide some solutions on this and share solutions if had experienced same thing. Unfortunately I dont have a manual for the car

Awkward ergonomics compared to Lexus...but that's no suprise. Superior handeling to any Lexus I've leased (LS 400, GS300 & SC430). More solid build than Lexus. As comfortable to drive as Lexus and Mercedes. Most stylish and sophisticated SUV (Cayenne & Mercedes SUVs close 2nd). Awkward & noisy A/C. Worse-than-average SUV fuel consumption. Amazing acceleration. Excellent sound system, although quirky controls. DVD Nav is inferior to Lexus' DVD Nav. Smaller cargo room doesn't bother me...and I'm an interior designer. Always get compliments on its styling.

this bmw x5 is really an oustanding suv. This is my first x5 that i have been irested in and i believe i made the right choice. Before i had about 5 Jeep Grand Cherokee LImited and i always had problems with their reliability. The x5 has been outsanding on roads and i feel it is one of the most safest suv on the market today. The 6 cylinder drives like an 8 and i recommend this car to drivers who go upnorth or on high hills.

Best handling suv yet. Great power and brakes. Ride is on stiff side with sport suspension but perfect seats make up for it. Minor problem with CD flip cover otherwise perfect to date.
