Xtremely Fun
They made me an offer I could not refuse. Redesign for 2004 is blowing these out the door. The 4.4 is the only way to go unless you are just looking for a "mommy mobile". Still, wish I had gone with the 4.6 but another $10K, ridiculous. A friend got the ML500, turned down my offer to race. The ML500 left him on the side of the road in Athens, GA with a busted radiator hose. Brand new car. I will not own a car that leaves me on the side of the road. Mercedes should be ashamed. If you want a performance german car or SUV, buy BMW. If you want a gimmicky pile of mush, buy a MB. Our 4th BMW in 9 years and they just keep getting better.
BMW X5
I'VE OWNED MANY LUXURY VEHICLES FROM JAGUAR TO CADILLAC TO BMW AND I'LL TAKE THE BM'ER OVER ALL OF EM! NOW THIS SUV IS EVERYTHING MY 5 SERIES WAS + ALL THE FEATURES OF A MID-SIZE SUV. CAN'T BEAT IT!

Does'nt need to get any better.
The first thing I noticed about driving this vehicle is how safe and secure you feel. One needs to set the cruise control during hiway driving to keep it under 90 miles per hour without realizing it! I like everything about it.
My truck
Great vehicle. I've owned Bravadas, Tahoes, Blazers, Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is the best. Many comments from others--they want one!
Has some problems
I love driving the X5. I've actually had 2 of them and highly recommend paying up for the 4.4. I had major electrical problems with my first X5 that the dealership couldn't fix. The second one (4.4) has been perfect. The X5 has been recalled more than most SUV's.
