Traded in my Ranger Rover Sport and couldn't be happier. This is my first X5 and the turbo diesel has incredible acceleration and the performance is awesome. Large quiet cabin even at high speeds. The best blue tooth speaker phone of any vehicle. (No one knows I am on speaker when I use it) This vehicle hugs the road. Navigation with real time traffic is the best The look is awesome especially with the wide performance tires. BMW -- you WIN with this one!...read morehide

Cons

Ride are very ruff with the Never flat tires

Purchased As New

This is my first X5 and i have to say that it's the best SUV I have ever driven. The clean diesel is definitely a plus for those long drives and everyday city commutes.

Pros

Vehicle technology, comfort and feel, appearance, and driveability

Cons

Gas mileage (it's an SUV, so this should be no surprise)

Purchased As New

I've owned this vehicle for approximately one month. First- time BMW owner (Mercedes Benz owner for 14 years/same car). This is definitely a "smart car" that relatively easy to learn. I love the technology and the ability to integrate my iPhone. The seats are extremely comfortable. Highly recommend getting convenience pkg and tech pkg. Navigation instructions in windshield (neat feature). Expensive, but worth every dollar. I had initially planned to drive my 14 year on Mercedes and only drive BMW X5 on the weekends, but I'm now hooked and love driving daily. Don't test drive if you're not ready to buy!!!!...read morehide

Pros

Nice ride, very responsive, good acceleration, smooth braking

Cons

slight turbo lag, even with the twin-turbo, which doesn't bother me.

Purchased As New

This a great, "very smart" vehicle. Great options. I would recommend the comfort seats, and the premium sound system. Gas mileage is not really a concern of mine but walking away from an accident is. I have been getting 18+ mpg with regular city driving. Interior fit and finish is impeccable. Price is definitely steep and not for the faint of heart but you do get what you pay for. Free maintenance is a plus. This is definitely a vehicle for the hi-tech guru without being overwhelming. The iDrive is easily mastered in a few days. Owned and operated for approx 1 month. I would definitely recommend this vehicle....read morehide
