No major complaints
Purchased car brand new - expected lots of issues, especially when I was reading reviews - to my surprise -- pretty reliable. Only had to replace battery because of a bad cell, could happen in any car.
Powertrain has never been a issue however......
To specify I have a 2007 4.8i model. I have never had a single issue with the engine or transmission however like in BMW fashion everything else around it falls apart. 2 years of ownership I have had to replace the full A/C system as it has a integral bearing system that can't be removed once broken it spreading metal contaminates throughout the system (3500 dollar repair), the stereo with the hifi system hasn't worked for almost a year now no one can diagnose it correctly and has cost me 450 trying to do so. Rear sir bag suspension is great for daily comforts until you Walt out to head to work and the rear side is sagging down. Vehicle performs great when everything else attached is proper. Other than that this has been the biggest disappointment of a suv I have ever owned. If you want reliability with comfort look far far away towards a lexus or infinity.

I'm saying goodbye to BMW after 20 years
My 2007 X5 has been nothing but a nightmare and the worse vehicle I have ever owned. I've owned many new BMWs (3, 5, and two 7 series) but my X5 is a completely different experience. It is a loser, a huge disappointment in terms of quality control, problems, but the worse part is how BMW has handled the issue - which is VERY poorly. X5 was in for recurring service issues 2+ months in 1st 2 years for a series of false engine warning lights, Ele issues, rear hatch door problems, and cosmoline that drips onto glass/paint. No support from BMW. Had to retain attorney as BMW NA could care less. BMW NA Execs clearly more concerned with their stock options than long term customers. Bye bye BMW!
So far so Good
I didn't want to pay for the premium price for a new X5 so I got a use one. Pro: Good driving overall, great dealer service. Get used to hear people tell you "nice car or suv". Con: little sluggish with V6, I want a V8 now but of course you will have to pay for it (Gas). Back cam broke and dealer replaced it no charge. But the part only lasts three years for a back up cam? I hope BMW does a better job.
Impressive Ride and Drive
After in-depth comparisons to Mercedes ML 320 CDI, ML500, Lexus GX 470 and Cadillac Escalade, the BMW X5 won me over quickly in a variety of areas from build and finish to actual ride, drive and handling. Most of the others offered spongy-swaying rides, not the X5. The V8 is a beast and the 6 cylinder is more than adequate and the mileage is much better. Certain option packages are well worth the cost like the Premium package, the Technology package, Sport package and definitely the Active Steering as well as the Comfort Assist. The Active Steering provides an incredible increased handling effect. And 4 yrs/50k mile bumper to bumper INCLUDING maintenance is sweet as well.
