I have had my X5 for 4 months now and it is a dream to drive. I get approximately 18.3 mpg in mostly city driving. It handles the snow very well. The x-drive is amazing. Great handling, great acceleration but there is a slight turbo lag which does not bother me. The iPhone hookup is great. Music sounds great on the premium sound system. Seats are very comfortable and supportive with the comfort seat option. The vehicle is very "smart" and has lots of electronic customizations available through the iDrive. The iDrive is abit overwhelming at first but after a week or so one can figure it out with ease. Ventilation is great in front and back. Exterior fit and finish is impeccable.

I have a 2012 X5 SUV. Paid high 65K and kept it in the garage for most times. The car is well maintained with all maintenance up to date. Las month I got a Yellow light saying the engine temp was high and I should stop driving the car. 3 mins later the yellow turned red and the car slowed to a crawl. I parked in the gas station and got it towed to the dealer. The rep called me later in the day saying that the coolant pump failed and it would cost 1725.00 plus tax to repair. My car mileage was 24,100 miles and an expensive part like that failed. BMW should take some responsibility here. It is out of warranty but only doing 24k miles. I called BMW headquarters to explain and get them to assume some responsibility, but the answered that I am out of warranty and they cannot do anything.....I know that. But help out here. Customer service at the top is non existent and they show that they do not care about anything outside of the warranty. DO NOT BUY. I will never own a BMW again. By the way I have had many BMWs and my family owns some. They have already decided to switch based on my experience.

Just bought my x5 2/3/12 and simply love it. Drove the SRX, and Q7 and when I drove the X5 it sold me right on the spot. Great handling, though a bit tight in the steering but the rest of the pros were great. Ken
Fuel Pump issue and putting on a hitch aftermarket

I love the way this car drives but after 10,000 miles it broke down on the side of the road. It was a fuel pump issue which I've heard has been a consistent issue with the X5. My friend said they are replacing it with the same fuel pumps so she ended up having it happen again and got rid of her car. I also opted to put a hitch on aftermarket but beware it may cause serious problems with your lease return since they have to actually break off a piece of the bumber to put it on so you would get dinged when turning in the lease. I opted to use the tow clips with a BMW bike rack which carries 2 bikes (can opt for a 3rd tray but it would be tight) and it's a fantastic bike rack.
