The BEST car to own !!! Hands down !!!!

This BMW X5 is the best ever made. What I like best is the feel of security and protection it provides. Its big and heavy, but handles like a regular car. And the body design stands the test of time, no matter what year you own. This car can be spotted and identified from afar.

Pushing the gas pedal to far gets you in the shop

This car was awesome to have, especially that i got to drive a new car just about every month since I had so many in service days with it. I only wish you could drive it like it's says you can and to be reliable at the same time (the ultimate driving machine) it felt great driving it and still would by another

BMW= Bring my wallet.

The Active steering system sucks! BMW should have been required to recall this car because of the problems associated with this unreliable, very costly system. Particularly for the X5. The 2008 X5 has appealing appearance and space. Mine still looks like new but the high cost to replace the Active steering system along with other recent costly repairs it begins to seriously erode at the resale or trade in return on my investment.

Love it, but repairs can be costly

I love it yet when a repair is needed, it's quite costly for parts, comfortable, not bad on gas, plenty of room. Great styling, easy to u understand controls.

One of the best cars I have owned and my first BMW

I am now an SUV person and truly enjoy BMW's. This is a safe car, fun to drive, good acceleration. Also very roomy and the seats are comfortable. I work from home so it has low mileage for a 2008

Comfort and exceptional manuveering

I really felt like i was sitting in a well crafted leather glove . And the headlights saw around the corner before I did... added a sense of comfort to driving .

Most beautiful car I have owned

This car met all my expectations and more. Beauty design. Beautiful interior that makes traveling fun and comfortable. 4WD makes driving during winter, so much safer! Buy it, Own it!

Very comfortable& spacious.

This is a good vehicle for a family. Spacious, good leg room & this vehicle has 3rd row seating, which is icing on the cake.
