2007 BMW X5 consumer reviews

This car performed so well but I am upgrading to a Mercedes and wouldn’t have parking for the X5. It responds fast to acceleration and the sound system is very great. Great on gas as well for a powerful engine. Never drove it that much as I work outside the country for the most part.

First BMW I've owned so I'm still learning. Overall I'm very pleased with how it handles and rides. I've added a few things to dress it up and I'm having fun getting additional accessories!

This car met all my needs with excellent for-class performance, a nice comfortable ride, plenty of space, amazing practicality, and also the third row seating

Great performance car to drive while at the same time providing plenty of room for the family! We've had the car for many years and it has served us extremely well!

The E70 Model BMW X5, its second generation, sets a standard that can only be copied, but not exceeded. It is easy to nit-pic at the various design shortcuts that new cars of today need to take to be light, efficient, affordable and profitable, such as plastic fasteners, trim and interior components; but in the realm of "performance," innovation and true driver's command of the road, BMW has always excelled as the best bang for the buck. The 2007-2013 X5 only builds on that reputation. Even without the Sport option, it does not handle like any other "SUV" -- which is one reason it justly deserves BMW's term "SAV" -- for Sport Action Vehicle. Its responsiveness to turns, acceleration and overall handling is unrivaled by any other brand. At nearly three tons, the only thing that could really stand to improve for a true gear head is braking. The brakes are more than "adequate," but when the suspension system that barely yields any sway on quick lane change or exit ramp maneuvers beckons its driver to perform with precision and speed that is available, then the brakes should match that temptation for those of us who indulge. The "M" option brakes, which unfortunately was not available on this model until 2010, does exactly that, but at a significant price if you are retrofitting as I have chosen to do. Yet, it is worth it. Stop on a dime; especially when done in concert with 20" wheels that are 10" wide on the front and 11" wide on the back. But even without going to the "M" option, or just the Sport option, out of the box this vehicle is the best bang for the buck for 100,000 mile performance action vehicle to serve as just a grocery getting truck, or off-road explorer, or downtown cruiser on Friday night. I will add, however, that it requires the planned maintenance be adhered to in protecting the engineering that is built into it. You can't skip oil changes; you can't skip brake line and transmission flushing; nor can you skip changing out the spark plugs, engine filters and cabin filters. You should take the vehicle in for timely, if not early, service maintenance whenever scheduled. And if you bought your X5 used, and out of warranty, INVEST in these things now, as well as fixing whatever is needed. Because fundamentally, this is a car to keep for a long time, and will pay back in dividends with performance, reliability and fun for many years. It's not a Buick.

Turbo failed at 125k , handbrake switch broke , Handbrake does not lock , sunroof does not open , engine cuts out in middle of the freeway due to sensing lack of fuel but it still has half tank , tyres have to be replaced at aprox 15k kms , engine oil leaks ,

Excellent condition, low mileage, one owner, top end package of options, no body damage, always garaged, always dealer serviced, clean interior, new tires, excellent performance,

I have owned my 07, x5 for a year, it doesn't seem to have been engineered to last as far as materials, workmanship and research. . . . . .

For the luxury minded individual that wants a sporty feel in their daily drive. I would recommend this vehicle. IF you are familiar with German engineering, this vehicle will put a smile on your face while you are out on a drive.

It has been a great car, will probably buy another one! Drives great in the snow and comfortable on trips. The bucket seats have multiple adjustments for proper fit
