Great driving car and with many upgrades

The car had all the quality and upgrades that I was looking for in a car, it rode extremely well and safe. The features were above what I expected in a car in this price range.

Beautiful but ...

I give it two stars because it's beautiful to look at and drives nice but has terrible technology issues. This is my 6th BMW and the X5 is the worst, very disappointing! Technology doesn't work consistently X5 riddled with little problems. But dam it's beautiful and drives great but for the price I'm going with someone else next time. Hey BWM, if you even care about what your customers say (i.e run-flats that everyone hates...) and we all no you don't, hire a Japanese auto company to do your electronics cause you just can't.

Hottest car I've ever had

This car has everything & more. I haven't even learned all the bells and whistles. I've owned V-8's all my life and this is the most responsive one I've ever had. It is a comfortable and roomy vehicle and drives so smoothly and quietly. The cold weather package is awesome for the OR and WA area & handles well in bad weather. The GPS, stereo system, communication systems and even the garage door openers all work great. I love my extra large sun roof. The seats are comfortable and warm. There is plenty of storage for road trips. All in all, I LOVE IT. Hate to sound like a Ford commercial but I do.

Truly Ultimate Driving Experience

This car with the luxury and comfort packages is phenomenal to drive. The 3 driving options gives you control of your experience. The car is very comfortable, sleek and sexy. The only change I would make is ththesize of the trunk is smaller than my previous 2004 X5. Everything else is truly am upgrade.

Pleasure to drive

My 2016 X5 50i with M sports package exceeds my performance expectations and handles like a dream. I'd love better MPGs but hey the fun of the 50i is worth spending more on fuel. To be honest I have to disclose the bad as well as the good though. The bad is that this baby drinks oil, like a quart every 800 or 900 miles. I have asked BMW to look it over though so they'll check it out. I did read a bunch of BMW forums and it seems like the oil consumption is around normal for the 50i M engine, but I also have a small oil leak that BMW said they will track down and fix. So maybe I'll only burn a quart every 1,000 miles. Either way it's worth it. It's a great SUV and fun to drive!
