2009 Bmw X5 3.0 — The Ultimate SUV, agile, tight, precise, refined, and just sporty. nice room but could be a few inches bigger. Sunroof is large and makes the interior feel open. Top quality interior and all the gadgets you want.. You have to drive it to appreciate how few other suv's can handle as well, except maybe the cayenne.

Nice For Its Money — BMW X5 Xdrive 35d is the best model you can get. The car is mainly used for long journeys as it is cheap for fuel and has got the best MPG out of all of my cars. Never had any problems with the car, and it is quite fast. It looks nice on the exterior and interior

Excellent Car To Own & Good For The Looks. — Performance - acceleration is excellent especially at pick up, good & effective brakes easy to handle. Build Quality - Perfect. Appearance - attractive interior, needs a little pimping on the exterior. Cost of Ownership - not cheap to maintain, gas is a little expensive. Fun Factor - it feels good to drive.

Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.)

BMW dealership could be better - I had damaged alloy - still waiting 8 months later for their conclusion on warranty claim

Still Enjoy Driving The Car As Much As When I First Purchased It — Like: Performance Ride Kids have not destroyed yet Seems reliable Fuel consumption is not Dislike Nothing - well actually, lack of mud flaps etc. As a 4x4 it seems to get covered in road dirt more than any other car I have owned. I got mine in black and it constantly needs washing. Recommend silver or something if got another.

X-drive — the Bmw x5 xDrive 35d, is the latest Bmw x5 on the market. it has many new features compared to te previous Bmw x5... it is also equiped with the latest iDrive system. it had a twin turbo which takes the vehicle 0-100 km/h in 5.8 sec, and a top speed of 260 km/h. the new Bmw x5 has a bigger boot than the previous version... see more details on the link below :- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLT4gCaerFM

Sport Mid Sized Suv — this BMW is a very luxurious piece of machinery. the acceleration is really quick, the engine is very nice, when you are right behind the vehicle and it drives off it has a pretty loud exhaust on it. the exterior of the BMW is fast looking it has a good looking exhaust tip on it. the interior of the car is all black leather and has a great nav system on it and has a pretty big stereo system in the car. this car is fun to be in and i love the mid sized SUV type cars.

Good Car, But Not For Fast Drivers — peformance- brakes are good, like all bmw's acceleration is kinda bad on the x30i, but the handling is solid. the overall design of the car is pretty good, but there should be more options as to what you can put on the bumpers.
