Great Vehicle

I've had my for 9 years and I love it. The rugged ride took some time to get use to, but having adjusted it to it. It's a car you can depend on and feel good driving in style. The cost of maintaining it is expensive but so worth it because of it's style and legacy.

Failing water pump, bad gaskets

The plastic water pump for the cooling system only lasts 50,000 miles and can fail without much warning. A $1000 plus repair. Engine oil gaskets fail at 80,000 miles. A $2000 to $3000 plus repair. BMW refuses to acknowledge the poor design and materials of those parts. The car is built to only last until the lease runs out.

Used 3.5 X5

Engine blew up 1 month after purchase, valve covers, coils, on and on. Festures are nice, quality and sporty look, bring alot of compliments. Great Design. Undependable engine. Always in the shop. It doesnt see the road as much as it sees an a mechanic lift

X5 - The Ultimate Maintenance Machine - Maybe X5 means 5x the costs

We've had a full range of luxury brands, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Infinity, Acura. The Mercedes was a total hassle from the start, I won't bother even discussing it, and the BMW just seems to require an awful lot of maintenance at very high cost for no apparent reason. For example, take something simple like Antifreeze, a regular gallon that works on virtually every other vehicle on the planet costs about $10. But BMW requires a special antifreeze and guess what, it's $20 a gallon. As another example, most places offer wheel alignment on all vehicles, EXCEPT BMW, you have to have a special service to have BMW wheels aligned and it costs more. Then there are things like the battery - on a non BMW your battery is easily accessible under the hood with two connections. On the BMW X5, it's under the rear hatch deck, under a plastic cover, with more than five different things you have to remove just to get the battery out. Same goes for things like the air filter. On our truck I can replace the air filter directly under the hood by popping off a few easy clips, in 5 minutes. On the BMW, again, you have to remove multiple layers just to get to the filter and it takes about 20 minutes. For me, the BMW is OK, it looks nice, drives well, but it just seems like a lot of hassle and extra cost. The Infinity, Acura and the Audi had little to no problems and were very easy to maintain. On the flip side it's likely unusual for most luxury owners to want to do some of the maintenance or really care about the cost but for me, it still matters if I feel like the value isn't living up to other luxury options.

Over engineered

I have been a BMW owner for over 20 years and am loyal to the product. That said, the X5 is over-engineered in severaly annoying ways. When I wash the car, the doors constantly lock and unlock. Sometimes I get meaningless alerts. My biggest complaint is that there is no spare tire...that in itself will be a deal breaker when it's time to replace the car. I have had two times when I had to have the care towed because of a lack of a spare tire.

All Mine

I have not died but still feel like Heaven! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE MY X5. I have a 7 seater and what’s not to like about my GEM!?! I use it as a motel in the back when I travel cross country. It’s massive.

BMW x5d : Machine that Always Drives.

I had many cars, diesel motor mostly, Mercedes repeatedly. BMW X5d provides the most comforting all-wheel-drive experience for me. Driving on Interstate or on secondary roads - German Engineered BMW X5d handles it all with no problem.

Really happy with this vehicle.

Purchased this vehicle from a privately owned dealer. Very nice, comfortable, large but easy to handle. I feel very safe in this vehicle. Maintenance costs are reasonable. Really pleased. This is my first BMW, but not the last.

Built like a tank, drives like a sports car!

The title says it all! This thing is built like a tank with the handling of a sports car- The key to BMW is how they drive, they are all just special when you get behind the wheel. I own a BMW M2 in addition to the X5, and BMW is all I drive. We love them!

I love this car!

The BMW X5 is a beautiful car, beautifully crafted and well built. It drives well and feels robust and substantial. I love the way it handles and how safe I feel in it. I especially like the many seat adjustment options. I am petite and the seat caters well to my shape and size.

Best SUV in it's class.

This is the best SUV in its class. Sporty and Fun. It is very fast, looks cool, handles like a sports car. Love the wide tires. Hate the run flats it came with. The ride was harsh. Put on some new Continental contact extremes and it is amazing.

Best vehicle I’ve owned to date

Short of a Tesla you want talk me out of BMW X5 5.0. Logged about 30K miles on her in the last 18 month and I’m still stoked every time I get in. Fast, comfortable and hugs the road just like a bimmer does.
