Outstanding torque and mileage. After 18,000 miles, the average mpg is 28.4. We have averaged 80 mph for 600 miles at over 31 mpg. No repairs, just yearly fluid changes. Very comfortable, quiet and a great all around vehicle. After 31,000 miles no issues and average mileage almost 29. We really enjoy the diesel performance and mileage over the gas equivalent. Too bad they have gone away in the US. With the diesel X5 no longer available we switched to a 2021 X5 plug-in hybrid. It did not compare well to the diesel and we traded it for another brand after six months. The extra weight of the battery and the soft ride did not feel like the ultimate driving machine. Maybe we should have tried one of the gas only powered ones.

This is our 2nd X5 35d. Both have been trouble free. Mileage is much better than projected. Will have to choose other brand now that BMW has dropped diesels.

Previously had a ML350 bluetec. The ride, handling and performance are superior on all counts. And that is not even counting better MPG. The only three area's that I find the X5 short in are backseat room, specifically legroom, slightly smaller cargo area and confusing and lacking equipment packages. My thought is that a number of options on the X5 for a luxury SUV could and should be standard. I cannot express the significant difference in handling and engine performance vs the ML 350. If you are not familiar with diesel you will be hard pressed to notice the difference against a typical gasoline engine. Certainly X5 owners with a gasoline model will notice the difference, but it is important to express that the diesel is not lacking by any means. Price aside it is a good value for the money and you will not be disappointed. Going on 8 months now and couldn't be happier.

Still loving it after 127,000 miles

I am a diesel guy. I have owned many diesel vehicles and decided to drive the X5-35d for fun...my wife and I were hooked from the moment we accelerated off the dealers lot. We have owned this vehicle now for 7 months and are getting 33 MPG average driving in the mountains of Colorado and I do not drive conservatively:) We love the handling, the safety features, and there are so many little engineered surprises in this vehicle. Our warranty is now over. We have not had any issues other than the sunroof needed to be repaired and it may have been our fault. We plan to keep this vehicle for a long time, at least 200,000 miles...unless it proves to become expensive to keep going. March 15, 2022--We are now over 90,000 miles and still loving it. Have not had any issues and still going with original brakes. Had to replace the brakes on front and rear at 96,000; pretty good for mountain driving, especially the way I drive! No other issues whatsoever. March 16, 2024, Happy to report no issues whatsoever at 127,000 miles.

I bought this car, used, fresh off a lease, fully loaded, at a fraction of the cost. I absolutely love how comfortable this thing is - the multicontour seats with ventilation are a must in these SE TX summers. I love the ease of use of the technology and the heads up display with the directions right in front of you is a.maz.ing. Makes long road trips effortless! The gas mileage with a diesel has been phenomenal - I’ve only filled up 4 times since I picked it up in Dec20 (it’s Apr21 now) and I drive this thing everywhere. Can’t say enough good things about it!!! UPDATE: I don’t know if there’s a single thing I would change. I have 53k miles and haven’t had a single problem.
