1. Enhanced Off-roading Capabilities. 2. A Chic Exterior Redesign. 3. A Spunky Acceleration. 4. It Remains Stable At Higher Speeds. 5. Steering Feels Natural and Effortless. 6. The Brake-by-wire System. 7. Strong Suspension Choices. 8. Plenty of Standard Features. 9. An Abundance of Well-Designed Cargo Space. 10. Safety is a Priority.
Amenities, excellent ride, the performance is second to none, luxury appointments are spot on, technology is seamless with internal and external devices and systems, heated seats front and back as well as heated steering wheel makes for a tolerable winter.
The seating in both the front and back are comfortable. The hearing and air conditioners work quickly and effectively. Being a diesel it gets good gas mileage. Overall its has stylish look with nice finishes. The controls are easy to use and access.
1. Steering Assist Can Be Rough. 2. Gesture Controls Are Sensitive. 3. Optional Add-ons Get Expensive. 4. A Cramped Third Row. The third row of seating seems a bit extraneous since it leaves very little space. The BMW X7 is going to be the better option for a third-row seven-seater since it offers more space. The X5 functions better as a five-seater.
Maintenance costs can be a burden. Locating affordable tires for every season is expensive. Learning curve if not accustomed to BMW drive system can be overwhelming at first. BMW Accessories can get you in trouble.( Hats, jackets, mugs, etc).
The biggest con is the price, both to purchase and the maintenance costs. Even buying it pre-owned, it expensive. It also discovered that it depreciated in value quickly when I recently considered trading it in.
The 2016 BMW X5 has an average owner rating of 4.68 out of 5 which ranks it #8 of 17 other Luxury Midsize SUVs.
