Best of Everything
After owning a Range Rover, love it but it literally fell apart when the warranty was up,head gasket, fuel pump, big stuff, we owned 2 Toyota Land Cruisers which were wonderful, reliable, very low maintenance. It was now time for a "fun" car. So we "scaled down" sizewise, and purchased the BMW, after owning several over the years, the BMW reputation speaks for itself.We wanted the flexibility of an SUV, yet didn't want to drive a HUGE school-bus like SUV. The only "must have" is the "sport package" the ride is like night and day compared to the car without it.
BMW X5 3.0i
The SUV is very nice. Very comfortable and easy to drive. I have owned since new. Good build quality, many nice features. Operation has been trouble free. Ride is slightly "bouncy" on bumpy roads. Performance of engine is fine. I would recommend it.

Handling
I enjoy the way it handles when driving. I was able to take the driving course at the manufacturing plant in Spartanburg, SC. What a great experience! I learned how to handle the car in many different situations. Off the road and On. Although I probably will never go off road with my car, that experience was a good taste of what I could expect and a good lesson on how to handle the various controls on my car.
Revive the x5
Driveability is excellent. Build quality is poor. Too many options and few standard features for the price. For a status vehicle it should live up to it's name and save the owner so many trips to the service dept.
I love my X5
I love this car! I've had it about 2.5 months and its survived a trip from Texas to San Diego in comfort and numerous off-road adventures. I got the premium package and the interior space is nicer than my living room. Although I wanted a car that would do a relatively good job off-roading, interior finishes and on-road handling were the most important to me and the BMW X5 has that in spades.
good
Just a daily driver.
Happy New Owner
I looked at a lot of the new 03 and 04 SUVs and only the BMW really had the performance on the road I was looking for. Having had 3 Grand Cherokee Ltds prior, the BMW is a great step forward and much better than the ML Class Chrylser/Benz tries to put you into.
The Best Vehicle
This is the best Vehicle I have evern owned including other BMW and MB cars. By the way it does hawl very well if you know how to load it. All the stuff to add to my house and 20by 25 deck were hawled in my X5. If you have the guts to make it work for you and not be just an other show vehicle, it can handle it. Had a minor defectice Key reading chip when I first got it but that got replace and all has been a joy. My wife say say " if that think has has the female anatomy, all male will never stay with their wives unle to have children." Very true my man, very true.
Best vehicle I have ever owned
Vehicle drives like a dream,dealership is fantastic and performance is everything they said it would be. Can't wait to get my next one.
ALZ
Easy to drive, comfortable, performs like a 5 series sedan.
Best vehicle I've ever owned
This SAV has truly been a pleasure to own over the last 6 months. I smile every time I drive it. It has actually gotton more responsive and quicker! The interior is luxurious and the exterior is really sharp looking. The handling in incredible. I am more impressed by the power from the 3.0 liter I6 every day.
X5: Fun to drive to the shop!
X5 drives like a dream! The 4.4 that we own has excellent responsivness on the road, no body roll [unlike other vehicles in SUV category]. Switching to Sports allowed me to zoom to 120 mph without the car straining. Truly excellent BMW-like performance. Unfortunately... the car was built in the US and it shows: trunk light poped- out, sun shades hooks broke, two recalls, auto-level computer failed, GPS had navigational bugs, etc. Nothing critical but annoying and time- consumming. Great, safe, fun car to drive but it was rushed out the door and the "little things" were not built to BMW-appropriate level.
Other SUVs should make one too..
The best performance I have had in an SUV, have had a Suburban, loved that, had a Chrysler ML, hated it!, but now this is brand new, and the best one out there. Gas mileage not the best, but then with SUVs I have become accustomed to that fact. Other than that, the best fit/finish, the most masculine looking yet highest style out of all. Definitely not a minivan trying to be an SUV. Wouldn't even consider anything else now as a replacement when it's time for a new car.
Excellent Ride...Very fun to drive
Fun SUV, great handling.
NO MORE BMW'S
3,5, AND NOW X-5 GUESS I AM NOT BMW GUY. I LIKE A QUALITY PREMIUM AUTO WITH LITTLE HUB-BUB. NEXT SUV WILL BE VOLVO OR CADDY. WHERE IS THE 3RD SEAT.
THE GREAT X5
I bought my X5 for my birthday lst year. It is my first SUV and I am sooo pleased with it. I have an Acura TL which has a smooth ride and was afraid that the SUV would ride rough. The X% rides just as smooth. It's a fun car and whoever gets a chance to purchase one is lucky!
Solid SUV
When you shut the door, you will know your in a save vehicle. The SUV sticks to the road and has incredible breaking.
The BEST SAV not SUV
I think so many people rate the x5 inaccuratly do to is lack of off road abilities but it's on rad abilites out perform most passenger cars whenit come to saftey and driver control. I love my X5 and find it hard to imagine what I will purchase next if anything at all. I think more consumers should consider it even if cost is a major factor becouse you do get every dime that you pay for plus a few. I would't trad it for the world well ok If I could get the no us version of the 4.6 I would but that is the only way. Enjoy
Owner of X5
Not sold as a pure off road vehicle but it will do all most average drivers want.
BMW X5 3L 4-27-04
Purchasing, driving, and service have been the best I have ever had with a vehicle.
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!
X5 4.4
Very safe. Handles great. Sucks gas, but worth it. Built like a vault. Intuitive controls. Agressive looks.
My X5 is great, but...
I have had my X5 for over 1 year. I think it is great. The main negative comment is the fuel situation. It pains me to fill up with high octane gas and the mileage is lousy. Another issue I have is with the engine power. I have the 3.0 which is the smaller engine. Once you get to cruising speed, the ride is incredible. However, off the line it feels like you are towing something. Otherwise, once you get over the buyer's remorse of just having shelled out 2 years worth of college tuition on a vehicle, you will absolutely love the X5. In addition, you will no longer have to look at all the other cars on the road to see what you want to buy next.
MY X5
I love BMW. I love my X5 even more. I love the speed, the comfort and the way it looks. I look forward to buying the new 5 series.
Superb!
Handles like a sports car.
My truck
Great vehicle. I've owned Bravadas, Tahoes, Blazers, Jeep Grand Cherokee. This is the best. Many comments from others--they want one!
BMW 3.0 Diesel
I have x5 3.0 diesel, this is a fantastic machine with high torque, exelent fuel economy (about 35mpg in the city) in my country the diesel fuel is a half cheaper than the gas. There is no noise from the engine seems like gas and no smoke from the back like another diesel machines.
best luxury suv ever
this car is the best ever. the ride is so nice and comfortable. the entire car was made with excellance in mind and they definitely acheieved that.
Love it
When i first drove it, i just loved it, it was so easy to drive and just loved the look!
The Best SAV overall !!!!
Fun to drive. Very response with sport package. Its German quality and handling of a BMW with a better view of the road. Interior is beautiful and its not to trendy whereas many new cars interior get boring after a while.
fun to drive
this suv has met my expectations and then some.. i love it i have owned almost every brand on the market..i will always keep this model in the garage:) it has taken me fun places,from drivng in dc(horrid road conditons), to the north woods of minnesota pulling a boat.....and the fun continues...alot more "open roads" to explore!!!!!
2003 BMW X5, 4.4i
Just an awesome driving and ownership experience (first 4 years of maintenance are included!). The ride is amazing as is the zippy acceleration. The interior is what you would expect from a first class manufacturer. Excellent styling and craftsmanship. Just a joy to drive.
2002 X5 with 26000 miles
My third BMW. The last was a 528i. The X5 3.0 offers BMW handling and ride with the attributes of an SUV. Plenty of power, reasonable Highway mileage (20) no need for a larger engine. I love it except for the seats being too hard and get uncomfortable over the long haul.
Sheri
I absolutely love my X5. I have absolutely no problems with it at all. It is extremely comfortable. It drives more like a car than an SUV.
my review
this car is the best..
Truly Ultimate
Flat out, the best all around sport-performance-luxury vehicle I've ever driven. Despite minor problems with the door mirror retractor motor and the dash computer display (both replaced under warranty), I am totally in love with this vehicle. The honeymoon still goes on even after eight months of ownership.
my baby
This is the perfect suv. I live in Texas where the suv is a must.This car may not be as big as most of the other bully cars but she has the kick to get you where you want to go .(ahead of the rest!)
Outstanding vehicle!!!
I Love it! Its every bit a sportscar, not a truck. Through the hills it carves the turns at 50mph like a BMW 1/2 its size!! The 8 cylinder sounds like a million honeybees when you press the throttle. The interior is amazingly luxurious. The seats are perfect. The Orange glow on the light wood is magical. There is only one thing you can say, Its a BMW. You will never want for more.
Kevin's toy
Very short, it's a great vehicle. Fun to drive and great on fuel. Rides like a car.
Fantastic
Love it, always recommend it.
A
THE BEST SUV EVER BUILT. IT HANDLES LIKE A DREAM. NOTHING COMES CLOSE TO IT.
A great SUV (SAV)
It is a great SAV. I owned it for more than 3 years now, no problems with it at all, only 1 recall with it. It is a fun veichle, I am very appreciate with it.
Best SUV
This BMW X5 is the best SUV that I have ever owned and I have had 6 different ones. I will always drive a BMW in the future.
Fun & Great
Great Performance , Fun Car, Nice Lines and Style
Great Car
BMW engineers should be proud of the X5. They designed/built this vehicle at a platform where other car manufacturers would only dream of and of course try to copy after years of scracthing their heads. As an aerospace engineer, I think they have done a marvelous job in using sensor technology to enhance safety, handling and comfort. The multi link rear suspension is incredible for stability. Even the car key uses advanced technology for comfort and safety. Bravo to all Bimmer engineers!!!
BMW X5 3.0i
Excellecent total driving experience. All the room of an SUV with the handling of a car (a BMW car!).
i love my X5
This is by far my favorite car I have ever owned. It manages to impress me everyday, if I ever get rid of mine it will only be to buy another one.
great sport sedan
every suv should drive like this
bmw
its a beautiful performance suv i like it aot
A Real Driver
Get behind the wheel of this beauty and you'll never want to park. The steering is so tight and the handling so precise that you'll feel like you're ready for the track. The X5 is a thing of beauty from all angles, and the quality and rigidity are top notch. It's got all the handling qualities of a 5 series, but with better traction and a commanding view of the road.
