Very over-rated, rough, not luxurious, safety

After owning 15 cars over 9 brands, I wanted to try BMW. Unfortunately, it is a big disappointment. X5 5.0 plus is acceleration (it has the best acceleration among the cars I owned. The rest is disappointment: the ride is harsh (reviews praise it for good feel of the road, but it feels like nearly no suspension, after a while it feels punishing), it is very noisy (it sounds like 1970s cars or old delivery vehicles), the layout of the features is ridiculous (yes, you can learn which feature is where but any time you forget, you have to think hard where it was), it is very difficult to drive precisely (you release the breaks and the car jumps, moving forward by 2-3" is close to impossible), reliability is not good (we right away went back to the dealer with malfunctioning hatch, the light staying on, the lift mechanism broke, the battery drains at a crazy pace), the running boards make it extremely difficult for me to get into the car (I am above 6') and very uncomfortable for my wife (5'4"). The position of "Park" on the shift knob makes driving this car a big safety hazard: in all other cars you put the knob forward to "Park", but this car has "Rear Drive". When tired, the well-learned behavior kicks in: you push the know to the end and the cur starts going backward. I twice nearly hit two people, my wife has done it twice. I would bet that many serious accidents/injuries have happened and maybe even people got killed. I am going back to Lexus or Mercedes SUV. Sorry but after 1.5 years of owning it, I only convinced myself how bad this car is.

Disappointed in run flat tires which give rough ride and are very expensive to replace! No oil dipstick and worst of all, no coolant temp gauge. Dealer is great but car is overpriced and under delivers on performance and value versus the 10 previous BMWs I have owned over the last 40 yrs! Sold the car back to dealer in October 2016 due to inability to get Takata airbag replacement done in abtimely manner and wanted the remainder of my $4800 6yr/100,000 mile warranty money back so I made out alright! I replaced it with a loaded 2017 Ford Explorer Sport which cost me 10,000 less than the X5 and had superior power, handling, comfort and has performed flawlessly over 16,000 miles and one year so far. Lots of nice touches the BMW didn't have and the extended warranty was $2000 instead of almost 5000! Bye bye BMW!

Bought this car used after test driving dozens of other makes and models. Have driven Z28 Camaro's for 20 years, and this is as close to a sports car as I can find and have 4 doors. Powerful and awesome performance. Best car I have ever owned. Had it almost a year and still love to drive it! Will own more BMW's. 555 horsepower! If you have not driven one, do it! It will make you smile.

This is my 3rd BMW and it is the worst vehicle I have ever owned. I am an active mail and find it physically exhausting to drive because of the tight steering wheel. If your normal driving pattern includes a lot of stop and go's; you will find the transmission hesitates. The road noise is louder than my Toyota pickup truck, not to mention the ride is stiffer than my pickup truck. Here is my advice, if you are seriously interested in this vehicle don't make the same mistake I did by taking it for an around the block test drive. Ask the dealer to loan the X5 to you for the weekend and drive it where you live! I own 4 vehicles & this is the last one out of the garage!
