CONS: None

REVIEW: This is my third X5, 2002, 2006 and 2008 and this is the best one jet, looks great, feels great, specially on wet roads. If you don`t push it to hard, you can do over 30 mpg. ...

CONS: Poor accelration and so much for being a luxury brand

REVIEW: Equipment: I am a two-month old owner of the 3.0si model. My X5 comes with many great standard features such as panoramic sunroof, xenon low "And" high beams that turn when you turn the steering, self-latching tailgate if you dont slam the tail gate hard enough, Alpine 12 speaker ...

CONS: Low expectancy tyres, rough ride, not-so-brilliant performance, not the best grip in tight curves.

REVIEW: Despite some details, I like my 2008 X5 a lot. I love the i-drive, I don't understand why so many people is against it, they must be really old... The interior looks great, with simil titanium trim and black leather seats. I drive a lot on dirt roads and the ride is not very smooth though. ...

CONS: gas mileage, small 3rd row

REVIEW: I just "upgraded" from my 2006 X5 and there is a world of difference! The biggest is the overall ride and performance. The ride is tight and responsive, yet much smoother than more previous X5. The improved horsepower and 6 speed transmission make a big difference as well. The i-drive is ...

CONS: 5,900lbs !!

REVIEW: I just purchased the 2008 3.0si model. I am quite disappointed of the purchase because of the weight. One time on the freeway, I couldnt even pass a brand new stick-shift Corolla. I was not happy and I am still not happy. What is the point of driving a 50K + car when you cant pass a cheapy ...

CONS: I would like more power but not for 10K upgrade to the 4.8

REVIEW: I used to have the 335I sports package you want to talk about a bad ride. This X-5 drives like a dream vs any BMW with a sports package. I test drove every SUV in the high end market the X-5 was the best. The Q-56 was just to big and the ML350 everything was a option vs the BMW. Overall you can' ...

CONS: bumpy ride , run flat tyres noisy , fuel economy

REVIEW: I bought the car for my wife two months ago.This is my first experience with a 4x4 BMW. The car does not meet my expectations. I still enjoy my Nissan Titan more after 3 years and 65000 miles .The sound coming out of the car's audio system is very poor .The GPS system is outdated.Interior is ...

CONS: low MPG. i-drive. overall finish. stereo system glitches. 3.0 is sluggish. expensive.

REVIEW: Alright, this is my 18,000 mile report for the 2007 X5 3.0, same as 2008. The pluses are self explanatory. The negatives: - i-drive will drive you nuts at times with illogical navigation. - blue-tooth compatibility and reliability is spotty. Test your phone before you buy, and oh, the dealer ...

CONS: A little sluggish off the line. Premium gas only. A bit expensive.

REVIEW: Had an 02, 05 and now the 08. The 08 by far the best one yet. This truck looks real beefy, especially when equipped with the sport package, big 20's and the optional running boards. Lots of nice options, NAV system well improved with real time traffic and voice command, Comfort access allows ...

CONS: Ride is a little rough, Annoying sound on the humps and expensive accessories..

REVIEW: In this computer age, people should easily learn how to use the i-Drive. Everything at your finger tips including service schedules and reminders. The panorama sunroof is wonderful, standard Run Flat Tire is surely a part of safety and security making a spare tire a thing of the past. I'm sure, ...
