Teriffic — Best looking and the most fun you can have driving an SUV. Strong performer in every category - inside and out. With the BMW maintenance plan owning a BMW is very reasonable. Quality materials and craftmanship seperate BMW from the rest. Primary Use: Family transportation

It's Like Driving A Bmw 5-series With A Higher View! :) — I love driving this "car"! It handles so well in both wet, dry, snow and ice conditions. I do have winter tires installed during the winter. The technology installed in this vehicle is great and competes well -- obviously, it gets better every year and I would like to see some of the options that the newer models have. Primary Use: Commuting to work | ||

ProsMostly Everything about it, its luxurious inside to its sleek and stylish outside. ConsPaying for gas. Big 400 mile tank costing over $100 to fill up and only about 16 mpg city and 20 hwy.

Bmw X5 Review : Owner — The gas mileage is a bit bad though as you have a 400 mile tank but filling up is 100$+. And yo uget onlyabout 16 mpg city. ouch. Other than that it doesn't have any other malfunctions. Watching my brother drive it it looks to be a fun car to drive. The handling is also quite good for a big SUV and it accelertes terrificly. It does make a weird sound when you move the seats occasionally but that may only be mine. | ||

ProsThe best fun driving car I ever had. Its full of power, excellent road handling, great looks inside / outside, amazing tire rims, fully computerized with advance technology, extremely reliable family car. Its the ultimate driving machine. ConsA bit expensive,but its worth it for a car with such advanced engineering features. Its not so good on fuel economy, but this is expected for cars with such powerful engines. The spare parts are a bit expensive, but this is expected for genuine and highly reliable parts.

Its The Ultimate Driving Machine. — This is definitely a great car to drive. I have driven many SUV's before, but the BMW X5 is in a class of its own. An amazing combination of power , beauty and technology all engineered in one machine. Without any doubt : Its the ultimate driving machine. Primary Use: Family transportation | ||

Great, Fun Car To Drive But A Bit Rough — 4.8 Sports package, Premium package, panoramic sunroof, sport rims, keyless go. the acceleration is amazing. consumes too much gas, BMW maintenance program is great and i haven't had to pay much for service. in all the car is amazing to drive but will get you with its 12 miles to the gallon. Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) | ||

Bmw X5 4.8 — Handles amazing. The engine makes you want to drive faster. If you want an easier temperament, get the six cylinder. If you want balls to wall type of driving, this is it. Comfortable, all the toys you can ask for, practical to a degree...it does drink gas well so don't get it if you're frugal on the tank. |
