LOVIN' MY 2012 BIMMER
We have had 12 brand new cars in ten years-if I had bought my X-5 ten years ago I wouldn't have owned so many different models. I Just upgraded from a 2010 BMW X-3 due to having a second child and needing the extra space. We are currently stationed in Germany and so we got our X-5 tax free(yes we pay tax to license it in some states; still doesn't come close to $63,000 USA price-and they're built in the USA. The benefits of the technology and drive far outweigh any cons people would put on this vehicle. If you have a problem with the I-drive, then you need to take computer classes. The computer is easier to operate than any GPS that I've ever owned. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE IT!!!!
Love it, but....
This is a great SUV in every aspect except one, in Illinois it's impossible to find diesel that meets the requirement of not exceeding 5% bio content. Illinois doesn't tax diesel if it has more than 11% bio content. So no fuel stations carry fuel with a lower content. All pumps that I've seen state 5-20% bio content. Same issue with every Audi, VW and Mercedes.

Hate that it's been a Lemon!
I have driven my 2012 BMW X5 iDrive 35i approximately 6k miles and have had to spend around $10k to fix various problems. I normally love BMWs but this particular vehicle is surely a lemon...and it only has 57k miles!

Fabulous diesel
Super solid with vehicle with a tremendously stable ride. Great fuel mileage, fantastic torque. Spactacular SAV. Total shame they stopped making the diesel version. I’d buy it again for sure! I guess we’ll have to keep it a lot longer. So far we’ve had it 10 years and 120,000+ miles

Fun SUV
The BMW X5, especially with the V8, is a engaging car to drive.
