X5 Big Station Wagon
With every company making Suv's, each company is entitled to their own vision when creating their model. The X5 is an excellent vechile in the standpoint of build quality, and luxury features. The interior is nicely laid out, everything you would expect from BMW. When you drive this suv you'll notice it is smooth. But, it really isn't that much fun to drive. Very average. It feels like the Grand Cherokee I used to own. Living in Michigan, you expect your suv to hold up in bad weather. The X5 is not really suited for this. Very average in bad weather. The Awd system is not suited for heavy snowfall. My GMC Yukon is much better, for much less money in these kind of situations.

my new X5
We have had three 530's but hated the new design, so we went woth an X5. Why we ever drove anything else is a mystery to me. We've had a number of snowstorms already, and the car has been amazing, plowing through six inches of messy snow and holding its own no matter what. It feels just like a car, has a roomy, well-designed and luxurious interior, and we love it. It doesn't have that boxy feeling of many other SUV's we've driven. We've owned BMW's for 18 years, and there's a reason for our loyalty. The 2004 X5 does not disappoint. Now all we need is a little Z4 to match.
Best Vehicle I Have Owned
This is the car that you find a reason to drive it. Great looks and plenty of comfort features set this vehicle above others of its class. We have found the X5 to be a very safe vehicle ... my wife survied a front-end impact that resulted in severve damage to the vehicle, but without injury to herself.
Excellent SUV
Drives like a car, great control, great handling, great brakes, great quality car.
