  Love My X5 - 2002 BMW X5
  By eaweeling - November 6 - 2:00 am

  I purchased a predriven X5 and love it. The quality and reliability of BMW afforded me the confidence to by a pre driven car and not have the worry. I came out of a van and was ready for a luxury car but wanted the style of an SUV. I will keep this car for a long time!

  I absolutely love my X5. Before I purchased my X5 I drove a few other luxury SUVs and found that the X5 was the best overall in handling, comfort and performance.

  Good overall after 1.5 years - 2002 BMW X5
  By BRJoll99 - May 18 - 2:00 am

  Ive driven my 3.0 for 21,000 miles and have had a good experience thus far. Major complaints are the software glitches (fixed at 15k service), terrible cup holder location, various squeeks and rattles. The biggest disappointment is the squeeks and rattles. One in the back cargo area and one in the CD cover shield when down (leave up all the time now). If I wanted to deal with quality issues such as this I would have bought a GM or Ford. This has been a big disappointment.

  By DOGBIMMER - April 30 - 2:00 am

  I own my x5 for 1 year already ,and only one world is capable for this vehicle...exelent.Alot of people complain about small cargo area,but when you bought a bmw for 60g your concern is not put a 4x8 shetrrock inside a bautifull leather and wood truck.There is not other like the x5.

  This is a SUV - 2002 BMW X5
  By Ha Ha Ha - April 29 - 2:00 am

  After a year of casual driving, this 3.0i still performs like new. You can see and feel the craftsmanship from in and out. The Neon lights are nice, the bold rear mirrors, and of course, its BMW name (not someone said: Big Mouthed Woman). After a year of 7,000 miles endend driving, there has no problem yet. The set-up of on-board computer seems to be more than sophisticated than you want, but, live a real life then.

  Very happy with X5 4.6is - 2002 BMW X5
  By VA BMW Owner - April 11 - 2:00 am

  I have owned a number of BMWs (97 M3, 2000 M5, 2002 745i) and two X5s (2001 4.4i and 2002 4.6is). I liked the 4.4i and I like the 4.6is even better. In fact, I had a 2002 745i that was incredibly unreliable, so I traded it after six months for the 4.6is. Although the X5 is less technologically advanced, I dont regret the trade. The X5 is far more comfortable, more practical, less pretentious, and I enjoy it more. With comfort or sport seat options, the X5 has the most comfortable driving position of any car Ive ever driven. It has been very reliable so far.

  Best Driving SUV on Road - 2002 BMW X5
  By Pleased as Pie! - March 14 - 2:00 am

  Ive read through some of the reviews and am very surprised to hear about numerous electrical glitches. Ive owned my 3.0 since 7/02 and have put about 11k miles so far. I have not had ONE electrical (or other)problem with the car. Even though the Xs are built in America, it is by no means an American SUV. It is still German driving, through and through. There is no American SUV that can come close to the absolute driving pleasure this car brings. Even with the AWD, the car is deceptively quicker than you think. Have driven other SUVs and this is completely solid at any driving speed. I feel safe and in control in this car. LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT!
