What owners say
"Overall, drivers love the 2007 BMW X5 for its outstanding styling, performance, and handling. Many appreciate its luxurious feel and how well it drives, comparing it favorably to other SUVs in its class. However, some owners have noted issues with ride comfort, especially on long trips, and have expressed frustration with the iDrive system and the practicality of the third-row seats for children."
This SUV has excellent performance and drives like a dream. Great styling and the panoramic roof is a must have. Leather seats are comfortable and wear well. Easy to see out of and rear view camera makes it a breeze to park and backup.
April 9, 2014Great buy! I love it! I can go everywhere comfortable and safe. It feels good on the road. Sounds like a Porsche. The sport package add stability and great look. I will strongly recommend this BMW SUV. Looking forward to many years of fun with my BMWX5 4.8i
September 13, 2014Have only owned for a couple of days, but already am loving it! Power, handling, style, comfort are all excellent. Would like to have better gas mileage, but, hey, it's a V8! This car is a real joy to drive! After six months, and no real adverse weather yet, I can still say I am very pleased with its performance! Put the shift selector in Sport mode, which raises the shift points, and the acceleration is quick! Have a bit of an issue getting the Nav system to reliably read updated map DVDs, but otherwise, the tech aspects are very nice. Had to replace battery (4 years old), which cost a little under $200. Got the rear brakes replaced under warranty. All in all, I am very happy with it. Would definitely buy it again!!!

June 25, 2011I got this SUV when it first came out back in the summer of 2007. Since it was the first round of production some glitches/problems are inevitable. This SUV has amazing handling, probably the best handling SUV out there. The acceleration is above average, but is no ML65 AMG or Cayenne GTS. The ride quality is can be adjusted between sport mode and normal, riding on 20's and having a stiffer suspension you expect to feel a bit more bumps on the road. Although I didn't go for the third row seat, I saw it at the dealership and I is absolutly useless unless you are 3 feet tall. The head up display is really neat, it shows speed, cruise control, and directions on the windshield; so that you can keep your eyes on the road. The rear camera is good during the day, showing turning lines which are super helpful. When it gets dark out, the camera becomes really blurry. In my mind, I think that the X5 has the nicest interior compared to its competitors and a monkey can figure out iDrive. Overall I really enjoy driving this SUV eventhough I can see the gas gauge go down every time I get excited.
April 2, 2008A fantastic drivers car with exhilarating performance,tremendous handling, all the practicalities of an SUV, great build quality, loads of gadgetry, down side a bit heavy on the juice around town, but good on a long run. Overall a great fun drive with the practiclity of a safe family car.
October 9, 2009There really isn't enough words to justify this car. The entire series seems to get better with every model. Just on performance alone the car beats any other in its class. Braking and handling makes it feel more of a sports car than a heavy SUV.
May 29, 2013Classy, Luxurious, powerful, elegant, prestige, well built, drives beautifully, need I say more ? This Car is one of the best cars that there is in the luxury 4x4 market, it is unparralel l and a cut above the rest of the other cars. Some get close i.e Range Rover but it can never drive as well as an X5.
July 31, 2008we have 3 kids and wanted to downsize our suv (used to have a 2004 toyota landcruiser). Looking for a smaller but nice handling SUV. This is just that. You can fit 3 kids in the car comfortably and the handling is just superb. Very nicely built car. Highly recommend. Having now owned the car for a few years, would update my perspective as follows: harsh ride - the X5 takes "sporty" to seriously, as a result the handling is very crisp but the ride is too harsh. On long drives it can actually be uncomfortable. I would also add that the idrive interface for controlling many aspects of the car is maddening. The 3rd row seats are kind of a joke if you have kids. Our kids are ages 8 to 11 and they barely fit. Our kids did not like this car as the room in the 3rd row seat was too cramped. Another thing that drove our kids crazy was the location of the DVD player. The second row could see the screen but not the 3rd row. So overall, after owning the car for a few years, I'd say, that it has great handing, a sporty drive and a 3rd row of seats, but.... the drive is too harsh in my opinion. For the money, I can think of many other luxury SUVs that have great handling but a more comfortable ride.
November 7, 2007Wanted to get a smaller SUV but did not want to get some poor handling truck. The X5 has room for 2 adults and 3 kids (plus a third row that can handle 2 more kids). As such the car is great for carpooling. The nice part about the car is that while it is an SUV it also handles very nicely and the interior is nicely done. Overall it feels like a luxury sedan.
December 18, 2008Just like driving the 3,5 or 7 series but much more comfortable.
