  NoneBetter - 2002 BMW X5
  By djph - February 18 - 2:00 am

  I cannot imagine driving a better SUV. Aside from the 16mpg I average, the vehicle has no downside. During my first year of ownership the X5 was not a common sight on the street and I had dozens of people ask me about it. Now they have become very common and I can understand why. Mine is powerful, extremely comfortable and incredibly fun to drive. Its also given me a terrific sense of confidence, driving through the snow that was dumpen on the east cost this past weekend.

  My new 02 X5 - 2002 BMW X5
  By tnbldr99 - February 12 - 2:00 am

  After owning several Bmw vehicles, i have finally reached the pinnacle of bmw quality combined with a fun to drive machine. I am very impressed with my X5s power, performance, comfort and off road prowess during the unexpected snow storms we received this year. I will definitely be keeping this vehicle and look forward to getting another new one in 2 or 3 years.

  X5-Love Hate Relationship - 2002 BMW X5
  By stanmb - February 10 - 2:00 am

  Have 2001 x5 3.0. This car while a fine performer has had electrical problems from day one. Found my windows open over 15 times. Car still takes twice to start. Remote only worked when it wanted to until recent trip to dealership when they spent 1 week to redo electical system. Taking off trunk cover is major pain-broke it twice doing so. Twice had rear deck wiper blade torn off in car wash-must have it bagged or else. Friend had his car in over a dozen times for similar problems and ultimately BMW bought car back. Dealer says problems are now worked out. Still love to drive this car but am disappointed.

  Overall very happy with the X5. Nice styling and great performance all in one. Great handling in Lake Tahoe as well as touring around town. Nothing beats it in my books.

  X5, An Engineering Work of Art - 2002 BMW X5
  By pakman94 - January 9 - 2:00 am

  2002 3.0Sp (white with sand and light wood)in line 6 with xenons, steptronic, rear climate, upgraded computer, lumbar and self dim mirrors is phenomenal! This is one first rate machine that is truely amazing. If I had all the money in the world, I would still choose this exact vehicle. The inline 6 is the smoothest engine in the world. Sweet, beautiful, classy responsive, solid and safe. What a combination!

  BMW Rating - 2002 BMW X5
  By Kelvin Brewington - December 17 - 4:03 am

  This vehicle is such a blast to drive. The interior is awesome and loaded with more toys than you can probably remember how to operate. Ive driven many SUVs, but none of them have come close. The price tag is a bit steep, but its worth it.

  The Sportiest "SUV" Out There! - 2002 BMW X5
  By Patricia - October 8 - 2:00 am

  A true BMW performer! Have tested many other vehicles and always kept coming back to the X5. V8 is very fast and the quality finish is superb. Very sexy, eye catching and very safe, especially in a crash! Once you drive a BMW, you will not go back to anything else, it just gives you that special feeling and you know that everyone around you wished they had one too.

  BMW X5 - 2002 BMW X5
  By porkchop - September 30 - 2:00 am

  I have owned my X5 for approx, 18months. I have more fun than I have ever had driving. While the cargo space appears small, its capacity has never been an issue. The backseat room has generated more positive comments than any other vehicle I have ever owned. I would recommend this vehicle to anyone looking for a great SUV that loves to drive. One thing to remember is get the 4.4litre engine. Makes all the difference in the world.

  2002 BMW X5 - A True Superstar! - 2002 BMW X5
  By mark fee - September 13 - 2:00 am

  This is the finest automibile that I have ever owned. In fact, it is the finest vehicle that I have ever driven. The X5 has an uncanny ability to predict what the driver wants (and needs) and does it for / with you. It is refined and comfortable. I would buy it again in a heartbeat and will continue to drive one unless the rumored X7 comes out and then I might try the X7. The safety and comfort offered by the X5 is second to none. It is comfortable on long trips and is a blast on windy roads! It truly is "The Ultimate Driving Machine!"
