Best looking SUV for this size on the market. 20" rims, super-wide low profile tires, deep exhaust tones make this combination unbeatable. Performance almost equal to my AMG Mercedes. Build quality unsurpassed. Cannot wipe the smile off my face when driving it. Purchsed the Imola Red so this is even more rare (everyone has black or silver). Handles so well I've had to set the speed reminder to let me know when I pass 80 mph (which is often). If you are performance minded and want a good looking high quality vehicle, this is the SUV for you.

Great performance and handling; very practical. Good to go out to dinner or to Home Depot; super sound system; simple, stylish interior; only inconvenience is that front seat window controls are in a less convenient location under the door handle.

There was always something goes wrong with the car. if you have a lot of money on the side and you don’t know what to do with it, buy an x5. I owned it for 1 year and a half, I spent $2000 on repaires and I still had to spend around $5000 to have everything works properly. so guess what, I got rid of it. The best decision ever. I didn’t list the type of problems I had with this car, because the list is too long. You would save yourself some headache and a lot of money if you stay away from this car.

An amazing SUV. I drove the VW Touaeg V8 and Lexus RX330. The BMW feels like a BMW; not an SUV. When practicality meets pleasure, you have found The Ultimate Driving Machine.
