Bought this lemon with a few miles on it, I thought what a great deal. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise!!! I lost count of the recalls, 3 for airbags, 1 for electrical, 1 for water pump and a couple more for something or another. Battery went dead, so I got out the manual and followed the directions on jumping, guess what, blew out the mother board. I called BMW ( bad motor works ) to see why and if they would help in any way, sorry that class action lawsuit was settled. Ka ching $1000 repair, cable broke on hood release ka ching $1100 repair, plastic oil reservoir started leaking ka ching $600 repair. You really want a great ride,buy this car between seats like rocks and run flat tires you’ll feel like a bronco buster after an hour or so, but they save millions by having no spare, and they call it a safety feature, so if you’re on a desolate rd have a flat you can drive up to fifty miles on your flat, of course if this is late at night in the middle of nowhere you’re screwed. This vehicle should be avoided at any cost.

Horrible X5

Lost wiper in heavy rain storm, one of the windows insisted to open on the freeway and flooded my car. The next day it magically cured itself. Alarm goes off on its own. I have observed this myself. Nothing passed by my X5 with loud music or exhaust. MY dealer cant figure it out. The battery is excellent. Lost the driver's memory seat, fixed it then it was the passenger's memory seat. What's next? When the car goes over a bump, the rear wiper and washer are on. You all get the idea...

I leased this 2010 X5 for my wife. I have never leased a car before, but I am glad I did since I will be getting rid of this vehicle ASAP. The car is a gas guzzler and you are constantly filling up. It is just outright inconvenient. The fuel tank is just too small. The backup sensor system so sensitive that it is obnoxious. The air conditioning system is inadequate and very noisy. The left side of the drivers face is always hot during SC Summer months as the A/C airflow is entirely inadequate. Run flat tires seem good until you have a flat or blowout. Then you must depend on BMW roadside service which is useless on the weekends. Very disappointed in this vehicle for the price of the lease.
Needs better quality & reliability

The X3 and X5 have the same 3.0 sized engine. But the X5 is about 1000lbs heavier. Where is the "Efficient Dynamics"? It is sluggish after making turns. You are constantly downing shifting gears just to be normal on the roads. This one is not part of the Ultimate Driving machine class!!
Not worth the hype! (if there is any)

I should have waited. Interior is still boring, NAV is still a pain, gas mileage is much worse than posted, turning radius is one of the worst in its mid-size SUV class, and there is so much more to dislike.
