The x5 is a great car, it has not broken down once. I am amazed it can do over 161 mph. It also has an amazing crash test rating.
Dead Battery

Huge problem with the battery system. The push start system has no accessory mode, therefore if the engine is not running and you turn it on to use the radio, phone, DVD, etc. The battery will drain in 15 minutes. No indicator, no warning, just dead battery. The dealer service departments say they have to put the car on a charger just to work on them or the battery will be dead. The BMW answer is you have to have the engine running "all the time". Forget the after engine turnoff heat, you can't use it. Forget the DVD player that logically you can't use while driving, but you have to keep the engine running. If you expect to use your car a lot like I do, forget it.

Bought this suv a 1 1/2 yrs. ago and I will never buy another one again. The v-8 and it's good looks are not worth the cost of repairs. 6 months into driving it, had to get the water pump replaced ($900). A year later, it's back in the shop again. After $500 of diagnostics, they tell me that they had to call in a BMW specialist tech just to figure out that it needs a $2100 coil package replacement. Now the belt tensioner is making noise and the acceleration does not feel right. I'm so done with this and will never buy another newer BMW ever again. BMW has really disappointed me with the quality of their vehicles. Will be looking for a new dependable vehicle in the near future and getting rid of this lemon.
For Sure the Ultimate Driving Machine!

This is my first BMW. I compared it with '09 Acura MDX, '09 Lexus GX470 and '09 Infiniti FX50. I found myself coming to BMW X5 after test driving all the other SUVs in its class. I loved the fact that BMW covers all maintenance for four years which the others do not. This SUV has everything looks, speed, wow factor. I love the iPod integration, navigation is very easy to use, I love asking for options in any menu and then I know exactly what to say to get anything done via Voice commands. The fuel economy could be better but if you can spend $$$ for the BMW then gas is not a big deal for you. I love driving my Ultimate Driving Machine it drives like a dream!
