The Beast
Steve, 06/28/2018
2017 BMW X5 xDrive35d 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbodiesel 8A)
We named this 9th BMW and first X5 The Beast. We also own a 535D M Sport affectionally named The Beauty. This is a great SUV/truck whichever one names it. We tow a 5,000 lb boat with ease. It's pretty new with only 3,500 miles on it so far. It drives like a much smaller lighter car rather than a large heavy SUV. Handles great. We opted for the pricy Dynamic handling package so we don't … know how it would ride/tow without it but it is smooth as glass on the highways, a bit choppy around town but then again its a BMW and handles like one. The MSRP was $80,000 so there were many other SUVs cheaper that we looked at before buying this pricy one. We are totally satisfied. We did have a vibration issue that took replacing both tires and rims to correct. Many trips to the dealership Gurrrrr. But its fixed now and we are very happy with our purchase. Highly recommend this SUV and especially with the diesel engine and if you can swing the $4,500 option price go for Dynamic Handling too. Oh and we have the standard 19" rims and I would not suggest larger ones. Seems to make the ride rough.
UPDATE: Still a fine SUV even in the current competitive market. The diesel option manages a solid 30mpg on hwy trips keeping pace with most in the left lane. On back roads at more reasonable speeds it easily manages the mid 30's. A comfortable ride for long trips. Ours has the comfort seats and dynamic handling package. Both make a great SUV even better. After a couple of new car issues it's been trouble free over the years. We are able to travel very long distances of nearly 600 miles without the need to refuel. Bathroom breaks required however. Safe fast and very comfortable. Only wish diesel was still an option. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.
