Bought a 09 Vermillion Red X5. These are rare and had to be custom ordered. I have owned X5's in the past and this is a great vehicle. It is fun to drive and handles great like a true BMW even though it's a heavy vehicle. It has all the options imaginable. Gas mileage is great for such a beast.

The car drives and handles great. From a pure driving perspective, it is probably the best SUV I have ever had. However, it has some serious flaws in the interior. The navigation system is terrible and almost impossible to use. The all in one computer system for using most features in the car is also not easy to use. Something simple like changing the air from your head to your feet takes way too many steps to do. The car just feels over engineered. Also, don't believe the maintenance is included sales pitch. I just got my 10,000 mile done and all it covered was an oil change and not rotating and balancing the tires.
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.
