The 2003 BMW X5 is "more luxurious and better equipped" than earlier versions of BMW's prime SUV. Drivers found it "fast and comfortable" with "plenty of power" being delivered from a V8 engine.
The 2003 X5 comes as three models, with increasing horsepower and standard equipment: the 3.0i, the 4.4i, and the 4.6is. Drivers say the sport package offers "much nicer wheels" and is worth the added cost, but they also recommend an extended warranty package, as like most BMW's, the X5 will need to go to the dealer for most repairs.
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2003 BMW X5 appreciate its fantastic handling, comfort, and luxurious interior. Many reviewers favor its strong performance and build quality. However, some drawbacks are frequent and expensive repairs, high gas consumption, and a tendency to lose value over time."
Great Utility Vehicle if you still want performance.
April 8, 2008The SUV handles like a car. A few problems 1. expensive gas 2. repairs are expensive and frequent 3. don't hold value well 4. lacking features of competitors
December 19, 2007A nicely aging all-around SAV. Great high performance utility vehicle - fun to drive, quality built and very versatile daily driver. No issues whatsoever outside of the normal wear and tear. Cost of ownership is moderate relative to its intended use and design.

September 11, 2009Performance is great. Build quality is also great. It's a gorgeous car. It consumes a lot of gas. It can give a regular cost for luxury cars. It's a fun car to drive. Overall this car is the ultimate driving machine.
May 5, 2009Performance - very good and a strong performer. Build Quality - German design and quality very good. Great interior, quality build throughout the car. Appearance - great looking car in and out. Cost of ownership - low. Normal service, nothing major. Fun car to drive.
June 7, 2011Probably one of the most comfortable car I have ever owned with the toughness of an SAV. No rattles or squeaks, no major repairs of any kind. It handles great and it is fun to drive. When I wash it, it looks brand new.
January 25, 2009Roomy. Comfortable. Handles like a dream. Can make anyone look hot toting around toddlers in this baby!
June 23, 2008Very good SAV, has Minor issues but if you maintain the vehicle properly you can avoid most problems.
November 2, 2020This is not a car you would want to drive if your by yourself. It just to expensive on gas. It is however amazing if you have a huge family you can load up alot of kids and your wife with ease all in one trip. Handiiling is very smooth but feels heavy because of the car weight. Favorite feature of this car is the heated leather seats and heated steering wheel. This car is a Speed demon
October 31, 2014Nice luxury SUV that can be used to take kids around or to cruise down the highway on a road trip . The ride is smooth and sporty as usual for a BMW . Treat it nice and it will be with you for a long time . Safe and stable vehicle
