I have a BMW X5 2012. Over the years, I got lots of problems, and found very expensive to repair it. BMW had fundamental problems in the X5 engine cooling design.

Drives and looks good. We have another car and don't drive it that much but it has been reliable so far.The body style is very impressive and interior is reddish leather love it

I had a love/hate relationship with the BMW X5 2012. What I love is the performance of this car. It runs very smooth and has nice acceleration. For a V6 twin turbo, it definitely has good performance. The interior is stylish and quite comfortable, and the exterior is decent, but has style. The steering is sporty, but quite firm handling. Here is the ONLY thing I personally do not like about this car… the reliability. First off, the engine malfunction reduced power is such a common problem for this car. I would always have to pull over on the shoulder or get off the highway with this car to restart the engine so that the engine malfunction could go away. Then the belt tensioner needed replacement, engine problems, and just needs to spent on fixing the car. It would not always be unreliable though, there are many times that this car has gotten me to point A to point B, a few long trips and overall would be functioning well everyday, but the engine malfunction is a headache. However, on time oil change and proper maintenance does help to keep this car working well. Overall, the BMW X5 is a great car and very fun to drive, but because of certain unreliability problems like engine malfunction, it can be a headache to own.
