My wife has been driving for almost 2 years. I am trying to decide whether we want to buy from lease. We have had multiple problems with this car. We have had a continuous small surge from the start position. Additionally we had a leak in the sun roof that went into the dash. They had to replace the dash )leather) and all electronics. Problem is fixed but it always lurks in my mind. My wife really likes the car. Power is good. Drives good. We paid extra for the leather dash and upgraded leather seating. Do not get this car without the vented (cooled) seats. I have found it to be extremely hot on the bottom:)

I must say the BMW X5 3.0 i x-drive is a excellent looking & driving suv. it's not X5m fast but perfect for everyday use. The cabin is very comfortable and build quality and materials are of the highest quality and also safety and the brakes are very good and drives very tight. It gives you the room you need to move the family around with out losing the performance and style. Build quality and reliability is as good as it gets. I have had many vehicles from different car manufacturers and all have needed parts and service. If you do your services on time which many people don't do with German cars you will be fine. Don't be fooled thinking other brands of cars or trucks don't need servicing or parts I say buy what you can afford and like and it won't bother you servicing it. And you need to pay to play !

I am in love with my 2009 BMW X5. Because I kept up the maintenance I have had no big issues at all. The only issues that I've had is with the passenger airbag. It has 145000 miles on it and still running strong to God be the glory.

Full Disclosure. Ive been in the automotive service and repair industry for almost 40 years. That said, I knew of the maintenance and repair issues these Beasts have. And No, An extended warranty wont cover the large expenses (as they are considered normal wear and tear). I bought the vehicle for a song and a dance. 2nd owner, 109k and beautiful. But i also prepared my own repair fund for it, and will probably gobble that up in no time. These are expensive to repair and maintain properly. Budget $2500.00 a year for it and Enjoy the finest performing suv out there.....especially for the money.

When you look past the iDrive and price, what a vehicle. Nothing this big I have ever driven handles as well as the X5. The interior is timeless and the exterior is just enough the combo of aggressiveness/luxury. I have the 4.8i with the big v8. Talk about ballsy, this thing gets up and goes, however I do not drive it hard as I am concerned for the price of gas. I will say that if you are genuinely considering buying one, you must have the money for maintenance (regardless of warranty or not) someone financially unstable should not even think of buying this SUV. The oil changes, tires WILL bite your wallet at some point. I have not found the rattling for rear gate, its bothering me..bad.
