20 years, 185k miles

Purchased new in 2001. A real splurge. Very reliable and functional. Probably higher than average maintenance costs, but I enjoyed the solid German engineering and ride. Much preferable to Mercedes or Japanese imports.

2001 BMW X5

The X5 is an amazing SUV by BMW. I chose the 2001 as I like the older body style similar to the Range Rover in that era. As an older vehicle it will have it's maintenance needs and will eat up more gas than modern vehicles.

Never looking for anything else.

My 2001 is the best. Very comfortable to drive. Love to freeway travel now. No major repairs except the Michelin tires do disintegrate due to their rubber composition. Replaced them with Goodyear. Also had to replace the battery a few times due to idleness.

Best Bang for the Buck!!!

Love, Love. Love this vehicle!!! When maintained properly vehicle will always perform like new, but like any given thing over time parts need replacement to the point that (rubber dries out - gaskets, etc.) the cost to maintain it has to be evaluated. The body style is timeless and material (sturdy metal) seem to be better than today's fiber glass (disposable)... it make me feel safe. I'm finding it hard to find a replacement that lives up to the standards of this vehicle... the new ones look pretty, but are they as reliable!!! CURE4MS

Overall best rig for the Money

My 2001 X5. 4.4 is rig that comes with a higher maintenance price tag. That being said, I love it, and cannot find anything comparably as nice for the price.

2001 BMW X5 3.0

Love my car. Runs beautifully. Purrrs.I am the first and only owner. Upkeep has consisted of normal wear and replacement of worn parts. At 132K I had to replace the engine mounts which had dropped .5 inch & a leaky radiator. 2001 was a good year for this model because it wasn't over-engineered as compared to newer versions. The engineering drives up the cost of ownership over the longterm.

BMW X5

Since purchasing my X5 it was like your typical truck the way it runs and handle but after putting it in the hands of KDM CAR CLINIC and giving them the ok to do whatever they think is required words can't explain the overall outcome, KDM truly deliver over the top results every time so I wasn't surprise when I got my truck back. Special thanks to the mastermind Genius behind it all KEN .

Dead car

Great acceleration, turning radius, small enough to fit in my North Beach SF garage, only problem is transmission died after only 120,000 miles, all my American built cars lasted twice as long.

BMW X5

I was a big fan of BMW but cost of ownership of car after 5 years is very high. I had to replace transmission @75k miles, replaced radiator @90K miles, replaced brake lining, alternator, differential and lots of suspension work. overall cheap parts used for an very expensive vehicle. I will not buy a BMW again.
