X5 owners... Reviews?
 

Hey, just curious if anyone here owns a BMW X5? Looking for some reviews. Of course Ive read Cars.com, etc, but wanted to some real life testimony :)

Thanks,

i dont understand why people need to splurge that amount of cash for a suv, if you are gonna get a bmw get a good one.

suv is gay
The little ones are better IMHO

We had one, it was the wifes, she loved it. no complaints. She now has a 135 but says she misses the X5. Get the V8 if your going to get an X5.

fuck the X5.. get an M5

Haha, I appreciate all the non SUV posts, but now that I'm a family man and all, I need the extra room.

Plus I need it for my new X5bang site...

j/k

Why not the x3?

Old friend bought his wife one and she loves it.

the m5 is honestly as roomy as an x5. i dont know why people think SUV's are roomier.. maybe the trunk? but ive seen some 4 doors sedans fit more people/cargo than SUV....

the x5 is probably a 5 seater? so is the m5.. the ONLY thing you might lose is a little trunk space, but then again i doubt it..

go with the light bro.. plus m5 is one of the fastest, if not the fastest 4 door sedan out there

this is sex on wheels.. your wife will fuck you more..

I had a x5 4.4I for 5 years. It was great until the final year when stupid electric things went wrong and cost me $$ a warranty expired after 4 years.
It the best sports utility in my opinion. However we have a Mazda CX9 Grand Touring right now as our family car and its great. Drives & equipped like a premium suv at nearly 1/2 the price.

When I owned a Porsche they would give me a cayenne as a loaner and I was not that impressed. BMW was a better car...

and the smg gearbox is a pos as a daily driver... rest of the car is great.

smg is buggy i heard yea but its not biggie. m5 is still one of the most powerful/sexy looking 4 door sedans out there

I just saw Top Gear last week, they were testing an M5 station. Now that's a family car ;-)

I hate the looks of the X5, get an X6 instead, fresh, new, and awesome car!

I had a 06 M5. Now I have a 08 M3.. and I like it MUCH better than the m5.

08 and 09 M3's have a 4 door version.

what year are you looking at? i just went through this whole endevor about two months ago.

I was going between an X5, Range Rover, GMC Yukon and Escalade. IMO the MBenz is complete shit unless you are looking at one that is about 1-2 years old tops.

I drove the X5 and didnt like it. Option wise, was completely lacking what the Yukon/Esclada had and was $8k more. Plus its hard to do any aftermarket work to it, such as lift kit, off road stuff, etc. even rear entertainment package.

I looked at the Range Rover and since it wouldnt be my main car, I passed. Dont get me wrong, they are nice but not worth the $$ for a secondary car. I went to look at GMC brand, since I had a lot of friends with them and found a really sweet Z71 Tahoe that had more options than a Yukon. Caddy, IMO, you are just paying for the price.

If your open minded, check out the late model Yukon/Tahoes they are pretty nice and a LOT more room than the X5

Make sure you throw some 24" spinners on it :winkwink:

wel the 08 m3 is newer.. why not compare 08 M5 to 08 M3.. ive seen/driven both.. ill take the m5 anyday
