  Nice Ride - 2002 BMW X5
  By AXEL - June 18 - 2:00 am

  I have had my X5 for 4 months now and have put 9000 miles on it. I have had no mechanical problems and have been impressed with how nice it is to drive in town and on the highway. I have a couple of little glitches, bad wiper blade on rear wiper and a piece of the ceiling liner not tucked perfectly into the overhead console. I think that BMW has a tendency to overdesign its cars but this doesnt necessarily result in the best reliability. If you want the least amount of trouble generally a Japanese vehicle is the best choice. If you want safety, solidity, and by far the best driving experience buy BMW. Thats what the X5 is about.

  The Best of the Best SUV - 2002 BMW X5
  By Tuan - June 14 - 2:00 am

  Safety! You feel very relax, it give you a sense of the surrounding, and it performance and handling informs you the vehile every move. Tested several SUVs including Mercedes ML, nothing come close to the X5! Highly recommended...

  3.0 X5 - 2002 BMW X5
  By bechic - June 6 - 2:00 am

  Amazing handling and a joy to drive. Drives like a car and hugs the road. Have driven Japanese and American models and this car by far is the best. A bit pricey but worth every penny (for now) until the competition makes a SUV that looks and handles like this X5. Occasional electrical gremlin will show up but so far nothing I can duplicate to get fixed.

  Not a real BMW - 2002 BMW X5
  By Daily - May 28 - 2:00 am

  This SUV is ideal for people who prefer fine looks,elevated view of the road and allwheel drive system. but this isnt for BMW or driving enthusiasts because it really isnt a typical BMW. Its also built in America.

  The one for me! - 2002 BMW X5
  By katy - May 22 - 2:00 am

  Of all SUVs the X5 is above and beyond. I call it a high riding sedan, theres nothing truck-like about it in that it gives a smooth ride and handles curves well.

  Just purchased a 3.0 for the spouse. Will be testing it on the Bahn. More to follow. I am however concerned about the lack of A/C power. Ive test driven this car (German spec) on numerous occasions and didnt see a problem.

  Not Bad - 2002 BMW X5
  By G. Balack - May 1 - 2:00 am

  I have the X5 3.0, 5 speed. My 94 Explorer cannot compare to this vehicle. My X5 has great handling, very comfortable and not bad on gas. At first I did not like it (which was strange), but the more I drive it I liked it more. Great Vehicle.

  4.6L- Unbelievable - 2002 BMW X5
  By Buckeye - April 16 - 2:00 am

  Just picked up the X5 4.6L about a week ago. The only word to describe it is unbelievable. The 20 inch rear tires are quite a sight from a trailing vehicles perspective, and that is the most likely view the majority of other vehicles are going to get. Incredible handling and acceleration. Interior finish is also superb.
