Luxury comfort for travel families.
I love the split climate. Driver, passenger both front and back all have their own climate specifications - including heated seats. It rides very smooth, plenty of legroom for everyone and lots of cargo and storage space. I do not like that the Bluetooth only works for the phone. There's an aux cord, but it'd be nice if my music played through the Bluetooth and not have to use the aux cord.

Diesel nightmare: be warned. Not bmw’s best.
Over 12 safety recalls - some of which took over one year to be resolved. Also major problems with egr (diesel exhaust) system resulting in repairs close to $7000. I would definitely not recommend this vehicle and am looking to sell as soon as possible.

BMW X5 Excellent performance vehicle yet multipurpose for leisure or for work.
I love my X5. It is a great car and excellent value. This car is very powerful as an SUV but sporty enough like a car. I loved it and shopped around to get the best value. The performance is excellent and I would not change ever buying this vehicle.

My thoughts on my 2011 BMW x5.
2011 BMW x5 twin scroll turbo AWD with about 300 hp very powerful SUV, comfortable and very good looking car, it is a bit expensive to fix but if you keep the maintenance up to date you shouldn't have to worry to much I would definitely purchase a newer model in the near future for sure.

The best racing car' this car is the perfect for its height, tank, and speed!
I love my car but the leather gets the vehicle gets pretty hot if you care about that. I love it more because of how fast it is. Racing cars are a favorite of mine and I would choose over my other vehicles that I have in the garage. One reason also, is 20$ and it fills up my tank all the way!

2011 BMW x5: luxurious and heavy.
It is heavy and sluggish at times. I am he 2011 BMW x5 handles decently well, and feels a lot better at higher speeds. It has many comfortable features, like dual climate controls, heated steering wheel, and a nice infotainment center. I wish it had Bluetooth audio for music. There is also plenty of space in the backseat for passengers and plenty of space in the back storage compartment for almost anything.

Overall it is a nice suv. Fairly reliable even at nearly 150000 miles.
It is very reliable. The Diesel engine itself rarely gives me any problems however the exhaust sensor seems to malfunction great often. It's is a very enjoyable ride as well as easy to drive.

Great vehicle. No issues for 3 years. Poor gas efficiency but fast.
I have had it for 3 years. There have been no issues. It does have a tendency to burn oil requiring me to add a quart every now and then. It does not get great gas mileage. It has great power due to the v8 engine. The best car I have owned in all categories. It handles perfect and is a driving machine.

I can carry around a lot of stuff but know I am driving the luxury car.
I love my car. It is black on the exterior and has wood features in the inside. I got the minimum features through BMW and it still feels very luxurious. There is a lot of space, plenty of trunk room. It zips around for an SUV and is beautiful. The only problem is that when it needs repairs it is very expensive.

The BMW X5 3.5 SAV Comfort, Quality and all you need out of a mid size SUV.
My X5 has slightly more than 50,000 miles. It contains all the features available at the time of manufacture including built in voice-activated GPS, Bluetooth, radio selection, XM Satellite receiver, remote entry and hatch open and close. The run-flat tires add a harshness to the ride and are expensive to replace. Gas mileage is typically 18 MPG combined highway and city. The car has never required any repairs other than air bag recalls, and doing the recommended maintenance is easy to accomplish with just a few tools.

Do not buy a diesel from BMW. The exhaust fluid system will fail long before the car itself but it basically makes the car unusable and BMW will turn Their back on you.

What you get with BMW x5.
Love it, reliable, only negative gas, it is a 20 gallon tank & it can only fill up with. Premium, trunk space is amazing, comes with 2 or 3 row options, easy to drive. Heated seats & steering wheel, moonroof, leather seats, fog lights, back up camera.

BMW highway queen - drive it like you mean it!
The BMW x5 diesel is a highway queen. It gets great fuel mileage when traveling long distances. However, if you do not intended to drive it much, it can be a hassle to take it out monthly and drive it hard to release the diesel particulate buildup. The rest of the vehicle is luxury!

The computer systems in the x5 tend to be faulty.
Recall on airbags driver and passenger. The dash always says tire is low when it is not low. The trunk hatch malfunctions which requires me to replace the struts in the back. Other than that the car seems great. The car drives well. Very comfortable and easy to drive.

Drives nice, but has engine issues and excessive oil consumption.
BMW had a recall on their n63 engines. They didn’t label it a recall, but a “care package”. We had to take it in to her a huge update to our engine which cost over $4000 and the engine consumes huge amounts of oil. Have to add a quart of oil every week. There was also an airbag and sunroof recall. Do not recommend any BMW with an n63 engine.

Pros and cons of an x5 diesel.
The car has been reliable for the most part. I have had some normal wear and tear changes such as changing the brakes and tires already. Also, have had 3 issues related to the diesel emissions which is specific to diesel vehicles. Love the car in regards to comfort and how it handles and drives in all weather. Very reliable in the snow and never had any issues.

BMW x5 is an incredible model and a great member of the beamer family.
My biggest problem revolves around the Bluetooth limit. My friends want aux when we go on road trips. It takes very long to connect and I can only have 3 phones when I have multiple people in my life who want to play their music. Also, I find the car to be overall amazing and I feel very proud and grateful to have a safe and efficient car.

It drives very well and is enjoyable. You will look forward to getting into this type of car and driving it to wherever your destination.
I love my vehicle. It is silver color so it does not look as d***y and I can go longer without washing it. I love the way that it drives and the different features it provides. I have no complaints.

The BMW x5: why it's an SUV you should try if you are into European cars.
The x5 is a very comfortable vehicle. Like any car taking care of it is a must. Replacement parts can be really expensive, but if you replace the brake pads, oil, and use the correct fuel, have it is check-ups done, and you treat the car like it should you will not run into those problems. For long distance road trips it is comfortable and the good thing about it is that you do not really feel how fast you are going, you can sleep in it, and the trunk has lots of space. Its has a vast amount of controls, and you can connect many different devices to the car with Bluetooth, the cars handling is really good too, like I said you do not really know if you are going fast.

BMW = great family car but emissions is an issue.
Emissions is touchy. Also everything is biodiesel now and my vehicle states not to use it however I do not have an option. The vehicle is extremely comfortable with tons of seating adjustments on both the driver and passenger side. It is wide enough to feel spacious even in the backseat.

Bmw x5 review. Bought it used. Love my car.
Love how it handles. One thing to know is how much tires cost. These are specialty vehicles and therefore tires are speciland costly. Comfortable ride and lots of room.

All in one running around town or moving stuff my BMW x5 is fantastic.
Oil changes are expensive but thus far no major issues. Some of the paint on roof trim has peeled off. Start stop button and the tailgate release buttons needed to be replaced. The paint around the steering wheel controls is also peeling off. Mechanically the SUV is great!

The panoramic sunroof is amazing!
Bmw’s are great cars, however, the maintenance on them is so expensive. It drives great, and sits comfortably. The heated seats work wonders, and the panoramic sunroof is amazing for stargazing at night! I just cannot afford the maintenance that comes with it right now.

The Saturn ION, Old Reliable
My Saturn ion is a very reliable machine, what it lacks in style it makes up for indestructibility. The car has none of the bells and whistles including manual window cranks but it serves as a positive aspect because nothing breaks on it. The ride is surprisingly smooth on the highway unless it is windy. Watch out for no ABS brakes because it'll take you by surprise the first time. Overall a decent car for a first car or a temporary car.

An SUV that handles like a sports car! This BMW is a dream to drive, both long and short trips. And it looks fabulous!
I love my BMW SUV! It looks great, and it drives like a sports car. So much power, and great handling. Only dislikes are that parts/labor is really expensive at the dealer; but luckily I haven't had too many problems with it.

It's diesel so it cannot use regular gas. That can be a problem when people borrow it.

Diesel BMW X5 review for the Realist
I love the overall look of my car. I feel safe in it, and it's good looking. The maintenance however it very costly. I would definitely not buy this car in the future, unless I had endless amounts of money. It has had a few issues along the way, but hasn't been a lemon. I would just prefer maintenance at a much lower cost.

This is an overall great and dependable vehicle that will hold up over time.
This is an overall great car! Though it is only a 2011, it still runs as if it is brand new. The interior of the car, as well as the exterior, has held up miraculously in the last couple of years. All of the functions on the car are still fully functioning to their ultimate potential. For example, the back hatch still opens and closes automatically, the backup camera and overhead camera still works, the radio and Bluetooth are fully functioning, and the air conditioning and heat work as well. The only thing I have had issues with is the drivers side mirror and the right headlight. The drivers side mirror fell off, resulting in the entire mirror display having to be replaced. The right side headlight burned out and instead of just having to replace the bulb, the whole right side headlight system had to be replaced. Both of these fixes were quite costly and both came as a surprise and out of the blue. If you are at looking for a reliable vehicle that will last through many years and miles, this is the car for you.

It's the cream of the crop, ultimate luxury look and feel while driving or riding as a passenger. High quality and dependability
My BMW X5 is the ultimate vehicle, it can handle any types of weather and road conditions. It's the most comfortable car to ride in and drive that I've ever owned, the only drawback that I have found is that you must have the right mechanic or garage to work on your car, they must know what they're doing and that can be costly.

BMW are great and sturdy cars.
Haven't had my car for very long. But so far I love it. Haven't had any problems with it. It is a great sturdy car. Went off roading with it and to the snow. Didn't need chains. It is a diesel SUV and gives me great mileage. I love that it has a big tank. 22 gallons to be exact. For a big and sturdy SUV. It gives you great mileage. I average about 545 miles per tank.

For a Ford, it is very upscale, more like a luxury vehicle.
Too expensive to repair, always has something wrong. I love the color, inside and out. Its comfortable to drive and when its not breaking down I feel safe. If is a solid car.
