Beautiful car, great ride, although you do feel bumps to a degree. Not as plush a ride as Lexus or Lincoln. Car not made for short people who are 5'1", but I can work around it. Car is my husband's car, and fits him well. Hard for me to see over high dash on driver's side, hard to get out of car without bruising back of calves (but salesman showed me the trick on how short people can get out more easily), back of front seat cushion makes seat uncomfortable for short people, as the cushion pushes my back out. It hits the right place of the back on regular-height and tall people. If I sit on a pillow, the back of the front-seat cushion fits my back fine, but I shouldn't have to do this in an expensive car like this. Car handles beautifully, quiet inside, high-quality materials. Hard for me to see blind spot when I turn around due to my height. Biggest complaint is difficulty of using the features, changing a radio station, finding what you want on the screen. There are some buttons, but most features accessed by a mouse-type wheel on the console. Very dangerous to find what you want while you're driving. Mercedes is much more intuitive and easier to use. No current weather outside is displayed for the passenger - it only shows for the driver! This should be standard in all cars. Also, was told by salesman that the rear-view mirror would display the direction you're headed with an "N," "NE," etc., but it doesn't. Also, you cannot use Maximum A/C or Heat on the floor only. Being short, this is important to me, as the middle vents always blow in my face and eyes. However, happily and surprisingly, the BMW vents can be directed so it doesn't blow in my face, unlike the Mercedes. Storage space is adequate; nice, extra storage compartment under floor in very back if you do not use it for a spare tire, which you shouldn't need with the run-flat tires. Glove compartment is small for size of car - the manual takes up the whole glove compartment. My husband absolutely loves the car. It is fun to drive, even for short people! And I love how quiet it is inside.

The 3D row seats , in addition to being tight , are very hard to get to. Folding the 2nd Seat does not a Allow a flat surface. The seats lean up against the front seats at an angle and the seat cushions are to thick anyway which adds to the problem. The front seat controls are in a separate panel below the side of the seat itself. When getting in and out of the car you drag across the panel and eventually it separates . This requires a replacement as the panel is snapped into the side of the seats with plastic Pins. . The last thing is the stability of the car at highway speeds. It could be the run flat tires, but the car wanders. If you don’t get a 3rd seat you can have a donut spare allowing for a choice of brands. Run flats are not guaranteed. We ordered our 2015 loaded. It only has 38000 miles. We traded a Volvo XC 90 which was more user friendly with utility and good driver. We would have gotten another one but one with all the extras but finding one was a problem. Hope this helps. New Comments December 2020. Since my last comments, I have noted some other problems with the car. Specifically more with the interior. Most of the interior panels etc: are plastic. The SUV rear hatch is in two parts. The lower pulls out and the upper rises. The lower is to provide a shelf for loading the car. Over time it begins to make a lot of noise. It is caused by the plastic cover moving against the lower shelf. There is a sliding piece of plastic that moves and slides as the shelf is lowered. Now however while driving it starts to rub against the second piece, making the noise. I believe it is there to fill in the gap when the shelf is lowered. It almost seems like the part may be warped. The car is 6 years old and has 41000 miles on it. We keep it in a garage. We will probably be trading it in the next 6 months. We bought an extended warranty for 6 years. I will not get another BMW because I feel the interior of the car is really cheap. Also from a styling stand point the front looks ugly, The kidney grill has gone to a steroid mouth. The extended warranty is a joke, if you get one read it carefully. It does not cover interior items even if it is defective. I will I probably will go back to Volvo.

Special Ordered this car in 2015. It is a “loaded” car including a 3rd seat.. Currently it has 42,000 on it. The interior problem began with the seat adjustment panel locate on the driver’s side along the lower left side of the seat. The panel started to pull away from the seat leaving a gap between it an the side of the seat. The dealer ordered a new part, but could not get it to mate up. I accepted that but was not happy. The car has “ventilation” seats which may have caused this as they are more pliable sides on the seat. Getting in and out of the car makes your “bottom” drag over the panel which eventually pulls it away. The second problem is a constant “squeaking” noise from the inside at the rear area. It seems to come from the places that the panels or bottom of the baggage area. My feeling is that the panels just do not fit properly . They obviously Match the color of the seats and carpets, but seem to be made of plastic joined at various points. Given the cost of the car $70,000, and it is a BMW I would have expected better interior parts. I have been looking for a new X5 but they all have the same seat controls panel, I don’t know if they have improved the contact areas for the inside panels. As noted it may be the ventilated seats give more. BMW seems to not care about reporting problems or taking input from owners. The car had a 4 year warranty and I bought an extra 2 years, check carefully on what’s covered. Also don’t buy “dent” protection. If there is even of a “pin” size bit of broken paint showing it is not covered. Lastly the “run flat” tires make the ride and handling not up to an ultimate Driving machine.
