Continues to impress.

We are at 148k miles on our x5d. Still has the best steering and seats of any suv. Mileage is 26 on highway. Emissions equipment is a failure point. No other system issues. I’ve tried to find a suitable replacement, but nothing matches it overall.

Beautiful car.

I love it, moves with a lot of power, but still comfortable and easy to maneuver... I love driving it. Can't wait to use the moon roof in the summer. This has always been my dream car, still hoping to get a newer version......

Love her but she ain’t cheap!

I love my X5! She is powerful and handles like a dream. I drive very hard, and this car is right there with me. Maintenance and repairs can get pricey especially when using original parts but she’s worth every penny!

Love this car

Bought certified used and really love the power and handling of this car. The features I use the most are the heated seats and steering wheel in winter. No more dry eyes with heat blasting. Audio system sounds great

Good outweighs the bad

Hasn’t been dependable, Steering wheel is peeling and upholstery not holding up as it should especially with no pets or kids. Hubcaps are always covered with brake dust. Good looking car and great to drive. Perfect size.

Love!

My BMW X5 is a solid powerful machine! I have not had a problem with it since owning it and this is my fourth year with the car and I bought it used. It’s reliability and luxury and one big package. I would live to purchase a newer one if I could afford it!

Ultimate Driving Machine

I have had Mercedes and Lexus and my BMW is my favorite to drive. Maybe not the most comfortable and doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but I love to get behind the wheel. The size is perfect for me. Repairs are expensive and the dealer treats the customer like dirt.

Great Family SUV

Awesome handling, mileage and safety. I bought it used about five years ago with 70,000 miles on it. 115,000 miles on it now. My driving miles tend to be harder on vehicles more so than most. All recommended, scheduled maintenance was performed on this X5. The old bumper to bumper warranty from BMW was incredible. It's a shame they no longer provide this. I used it a few times before it expired. Overall repairs have been light. That said, when something breaks, the average repair bill is $1,000. You get what you pay for in this life. Expensive cars drive nice, have cool features and get better gas mileage than domestic brands. The expensive repairs were to be expected. This is my first BMW and I have really enjoyed commuting and traveling in this SUV. No amount of snow or ice has even begun to stop me in this thing! I would only be able to buy a vehicle like this used. Out of my price range when new.

Mostly, but not completely, excellent.

The test is whether I would buy another; answer is yes. Performance in virtually all categories is outstanding, led by comfort. Seating and climate control are outstanding. Handling is very good indeed.

GOOD MIDSIZED SUV

I bought my 2011 BMW X5 SAV used with 24,000 mi on it. I love the body style and the 20" rims. Car is fun to drive, especially when the turbo kicks in. Car does have a slight turbo lag, but not bad for the size and weight of the vehicle. Cargo space is a light tight for this size SUV. The run flat tires are a little expensive, but they ride good. Surprisingly, I've had few maintenance issues with this car, so I'm going to keep it as long is it continues to run good. I love the x-drive. I drove through a snow storm through the mountains of Tennessee this past winter and car handled exceptionally well. It handles just as good in the rain. Overall, I would definitely recommend this car, but recommend finding a used one if you can. A new BMW X5 is a little pricey.

Handling, performance and efficiency

Vehicle has impressed from day one, we have the diesel version, the 35D, has always surpassed the estimated sticker mpg with highway mpg as high as 34.5 at 65mph. Our weekly average is consistently around 28 mpg in combined town and country driving. The performance, when needed is more than impressive, launching hard enough to press you back into the seat like a sports car, tenacious grip on the road due to the AWD and anti slip/skid technology. Roomy in front and back seats and plenty of room for groceries. So far we have had no out of warranty issues, with only issue being an oxygen sensor that needed replacing in it's first year. I have zero complaints at 70K miles, still love it!

Love this car

This car grips the road firmly and the twin turbo diesel’s throttle response is surprisingly fun. Lots of torque.

MONEY PIT

I have spent more on this than I will ever recoup. It gets bad gas mileage, has failure every other week and simply is not a vehicle for anyone but the very wealthy.

Working on a BMW

I think you guys know your stuff. My X5's warranty has just expired so I am now responsible for all maintenance and repair costs. It is still in great shape but a couple of recent repairs have cost me a lot of money. They are both failures of a temperature sensor, i.e. inexpensive things, but because they were part of an assembly, the whole assembly had to be replaced and that was what cost a lot. Adding to the cost was using an OEM part sourced from BMW. I know it is possible to purchase the same part from other suppliers at significant savings - 30-50% - so I'd like to see if we can work together and save some money.

A great vehicle however, the number of recalls is unnerving.
