The X5 has pros and cons, so I will just list them that way here. Pros: -Good handling -Comfortable -Lots of features for the vintage Cons: -Obscure parts have to be replaced and they are VERY EXPENSIVE - Mechanics can not figure out what the diagnostics tell them is wrong. They fix one thing, then it tells them something else is wrong. It is never ending. - The diesel is very sluggish at low speed. - The diesel is really noisy compared to other manufacturer's diesels. I had two different repair shops tell me to sell the car before it is 10 years old and that, alternatively, any time I have a $2,000 repair (which, incidentally, all repairs will be more than), to sell or donate the car because the next two years' repair costs will exceed the value of the vehicle.

Lots to like here. One of the best cars I've ever owned. Love the look of the SUV (doesn't look like a station wagon or minivan) and the features (heated seats, auto hold feature, huge sunroof and more) are awesome. One of the quickest SUV's I've ever driven with very little lean into turns. Reliability has been top notch and I currently have just over 110K miles on this diesel. I hope to keep it for years to come. Deep Sea Blue with Oyster interior, It still gets lots of looks and nice comments.

Know some do not like the harsh suspension and heavy steering. That is why I stayed with BMW and took a 2013 over waiting for a 2014. Found driving a model with the newer steering was too light, reminded me of the 2 lexus had. The X3 drove with the new unit. I know the diesel has some issue with expensive fixes. But the 2014 is going to have a revised diesel so felt would be better off on the last run of the current motors. Build quality yes it good but have found some of the plastic pieces creak and pop, not what expect in a 70K SUV. So did not go a 5 in quality. But this E70 has good visibility, good seating heights. Course got the multi contour seats.
