2002 BMW X5 Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 2002 BMW X5 seem to really enjoy its performance and handling, often praising its acceleration and driving experience. Many find the build quality to be excellent, appreciating its upscale appearance and interior design. However, some drivers are concerned about the fuel economy and high maintenance costs associated with owning this vehicle. Space in the rear trunk and insufficient power in certain models were also mentioned as downsides."
It's the 3.0 Diesel and it's great in torque, performance and fuel economical...handling is great too and still looks good after all these year having owned it from new till today. no regrets and it's a definite must have is you are ever shopping for a SUV that built tough, looks that still hold and keep and performance with the fuel economy...diesel's way to go.
January 14, 2009Performance, the BMW X5 has awesome acceleration, braking, handling. Build Quality, German engineering at its best. Appearance, both interior and exterior styling are super sexy. Cost of Ownership, gas mileage, maintenance...it has a 20 gallon gastank, so cost around $60 USD or so to fill up, but you are going to get at least 400 mile on a full tank, so it actually last the week Fun Factor, the BMW X5 is awesome to drive!
October 20, 2010Having black interior in the desert is a big mistake (even though the black wood and quailty of leather is very upscale). Installing high quality DLS speakers both in the front and the rear along with the Alumapro 10 inch subwoofer makes listening to the ipod, XM, or cd's on the Pioneer D3 a treat. After a few years of abuse, the performance have dipped from the 4.6 V8, although still has enough power across the broadband for needed acceleration. Since the 4.6is is a special edition model, the blue paint is highly specific. A wonderful look along with the stock 20 inch rims.

May 23, 2008Performance and handling are amazing, you can drive extremely high speeds with confidence and great control. On the down side, regular maintenance and check ups are required every few thousand miles Appearance is good, both inside and outside. is this car fun to drive? This car has presence! it makes you feel good just by sitting in it
September 11, 2009This car was in near-perfect condition when I purchased it used from Carmax. It is beautiful inside and out. The gas mileage is reasonable considering the weight of the car. I can get 19/24 on a regular basis, even on regular unleaded (sorry, it's way to expensive for premium right now).
July 8, 2008The vehicle is not bad at all. It only lacks some room in the rear trunk. Personally I think you may love SUVs or hate them and since I don't like them, I had to switch as soon as I could...
April 22, 2008I think the car features are great. The value of the car is shocking. Compare to the new models; I rather have a older model
August 27, 2021The repair bills added up over the nine years I owned it. It is still a solid car with no rust but too many things need replacing: tranny slips bad, driver-side rear door does not open, fan stays on even with the car off and keys in my pocket, wet floor on passenger side probably from a leaky windshield. All that said, this car has been a good performer it's whole life.
November 13, 2013What car shall you buy when you have driven sports cars your whole life and all of a sudden must buy a family car. The family car was a completely new world for me, I still wanted everything a sports car has and at the same time the car had to be both practical and safe. My choice was, and still is the BMW X5 4.6iS.
June 24, 2009I like it, its my first car and it is full DINAN except for the exhaust and supercharger. My only problem with it is its not a racy looking car :(
