Love my X5

Previously had 2016 BMW X3 which was a great car. The re-designed 2018 X3 didn’t have as tight of steering and felt slightly lower in seating position. I test drove the 2018 X5 and loved the higher ride, the tight steering and beautiful interior. My old X3 felt a bit sportier and quicker but the X5 is more powerful. Love it!

My First SUV. Love It!

Owned 2006 535xi so time for a new car. Test drove 6 other comparable SUV's thinking I would change brands but nothing drives like a BMW. As a Realtor vehicle is comfortable for my clients, technology assist in safe driving and BMW style. My highest recommendation.

Most luxurious ride for this type of vehicle

The vehicle is very comfortable and quite powerful. It does not however have all of the features that I thought it might. It is probably due to the fact that it is a base model

Great car

Loved my 525xi and equally love the X5. BMW’s are the best for comfort, style, reliability and zip. It meets all our needs and expectations

Not what I was expecting

Rear seat room was not as comfortable. With children the Audi A6 far provided a better experience. The dashboard and controls were not user friendly.

The best car for Drivers!

If you like driving cars, the X5 is for you. I have driven Infiniti's, Lexus, Lincoln, etc. All of them have their xxxxxxand con's however if you enjoy a good driving experience in an SUV, the X5 is a great choice.

If only it was a all wheel drive .....

Was a great car! The slight rumble in sport mode was fascinating. Everthing was ok however i wasnt looking for diesel or an 2 wheel drive. Somewhere in the excitment a few details were missed.

I love this truck that drives like a luxury car...

This truck has exceeded my expectations for an SUV. It feels like I?m driving a luxury sedan instead. I love the ride and it?s a very reliable vehicle in every type of weather.

Most high tech car I have owned

I have been amazed at all the things this car does. It is so comfortable and has so many things to make life easier. It parks itself, has heated and cooled seats and a heated steering wheel. So thrilled with this car.
