Manufacturers have made significant improvements in fuel economy.

The BMW 5 is enjoyable to drive and that is largely because of it is standard adaptive suspension. This system keeps the x5 stable and composed around turns and it comfortable soaks ups the bumps and dips of rough pavement. The x5 has a slightly above average predicted rating of 3.5 out of five. The BMW x5 is covered by a four year/50000 mile limited warranty. Available features include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist a semi autonomous traffic jam assist, a surround view parking camera system.

Thoughts of Christie about BMW x5.

Power steering, air conditioning,driver airbag is excellent. Also have automatic climate control a great feature. I feel very comfort while driving. It has punchy engine options and a standard adaptive suspension that balance lithe handling with comfortable ride.

Ivan B

Drivers perfectly and never breaks down. A little expensive, totally worth it.

It performs smoothly and I have no hold ups with it. This car is pure perfection and I love it. Every time I set foot in my BMW I feel like a king, bigger and stronger than everyone else. The car is fast, large, yet smooth and elegant, like a wild Taurus mixed with a stallion. The only issue is the cost of upkeep, really. But this is totally worth it.

My vehicle has a very good condition still I do not face any problem of it. I am very happy with my vehicle. I enjoy to drive my vehicle. Sometimes I feel some problem of it but it is not a major problem. Though I use it of many years still it has no big problem.

BMW for the better and for comfortable to everybody

I love my car, it gives me comfort wherever I go and whatever I do like going to shopping, grocery, going to other places, it is so comfortable because it is big and we can bring our things for the place were going to. It is the right vehicle for 4 members in the family. I highly recommend BMW X5 series to others who want to buy a car.

Qiana M

Fully loaded SUV with premium package.

My vehicle is very reliable. I haven't had any major issues with it so far. It burns a lot of oil fast but that is because it is a v8. It is very comfortable and it is fully loaded. I really like the backup camera feature a lot as well as the satellite radio.

Negative Owner Reviews

Alfredo A

This is very good vehicle.

The car is nice size for five people but not as cramped as a sedan. There are 3 model driving,including comfort, eco model and sport mode. Which allows for a drivers way of driving and there also a sports setting behind the wheel that allows people who like to drive.

Samantha J

Great car that gives a smooth drive, but comes with too many electrical problems.

The vehicle consist of a lot of electrical problems. Check engine light will turn on a lot for no reason. The sensors usually mess up. Battery has been changed a few times. The performance on the car is good, reliable of the car is good when it is not having electrical issues, which is why the reliability can be rated low. The comfort of the car is amazing, very spacious. The features include: heated seats, navigation, Bluetooth for phone, third row, and sunroof.

BMW X5 is a great vehicle!

Overall, I like the BMW X5. The only thing I wish was different is that I had a newer model and newer features. It is a vehicle that I would purchase again. I haven't had any problems with the vehicle. I would recommend getting routine maintenance done like oil changes, and fluid checks. I am not the original owner of the vehicle but the previous owner took care of the vehicle and it was well maintained! I like the space, it provides enough room for me and my two daughters. The truck really hugs the road and is a smooth ride. I appreciate the satellite radio features and the GPS capability, though I need to upgrade mine because the system is older. The gas mileage is decent compared to other SUVs. I have a v6 so the engine is acceptable for me. The truck is on the wider side and has nice wide tires. Again overall, I like the vehicle and I look forward to upgrading to the newer model!

I love my car in every aspect of life.

My car performance is outstanding and it is had very small problems, and it is a low-problem car. I drive around in it all the time. It is a smooth ride and also great for taking on road trips. I have had it for over five years and it works like a charm. If this car breaks, I would be very sad.

Pros from Owners

Belinda L.

Computer system lets you know of any malfunctions. Runs excellent in all weather. Looks good for everyday. Suits all my driving needs. It's a very spacious vehicle. The shocks are great and you get a good driving experience every time you drive the vehicle. The size is perfect not too big not too small.

Cons from Owners

Belinda L.

The parts of very expensive and the cost of labor is just as expensive as the parts. Once you change something on the vehicle you also have to change the sensor which is an additional charge and to me it is very unnecessary.
