Great SUV - 2002 BMW X5
By thstone - November 26 - 12:46 pmI bought a Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) 2002 X5 last year (2004) and after a full year of ownership I can say that this is an awesome car! The 3.0 engine has more than enough power and is silky smooth. The interior is typical BMW - clean, crisp, and functional. I opted for the standard handling package (not the sport package) as the ride with the SP was way too harsh for me and my family. Some people complain about the gas mileage, but I have been averaging around 19 MPG (50/50 city/hwy) which isnt too bad. The CPO warranty saved me around $1000 in repairs (new electric window lifts). Overall, I have been very, very happy with car.

Great SAV...better then Japanese - 2002 BMW X5
By qamarmu - September 3 - 10:59 amI was in the market for a month, and test drove x5, fx 35 and rx330 and rx 300. Finally picked up the 02 X5 best bet for the money. Got all the looks and style and performance. Sportronic is great, and my wife can drive it too with autonomic mode. Great stability and ride comfort Exterior styling is more aggressive then rx 300 or Rx 330. Its a great performance handling truck

Great value + safty - 2002 BMW X5
By Barry A - July 17 - 10:36 am10 years ago I was in a bad auto accident. Since that date I have taken notice of safe autos. The X 5 might be the safest SUV on the road. Style and confort are great. 10 air bags. The gas milage is like most SUVs. The X 5 drives like the 530i. Great value and all wheel drive lets you go in the snow. Buy one, you wont be sorry, just broke.

Best car yet - 2002 BMW X5
By Dante Verdi - January 1 - 7:16 pmI have owned way too many cars, but I enjoy this one by far the best, and I sold a Benz E-Class to buy this vehicle. Operates like a BMW, which means great performance, but is also very comfortable with plenty of space for trips with my wife, my bicycle, luggage, etc.

The Bubba Truck - 2002 BMW X5
By ToneG - August 30 - 2:00 amBeen a Ford Chevy man all my life but the wife liked the X5 and to repent for all my fishing and golf trips, and to keep taking them, I reluctantly agreed to buy har an X5. Mistake!!! Im married to a BMWer Junkie! She loves it and wouldnt have anything else! I too have come to like it more than Ill admit to her. The handling in terrible weather is awsome, and the power is unbelieveable. The brakes are the biggest and best Ive ever seen. The car has to be one of the safest ever made.

Great SUV - 2002 BMW X5
By apparition - August 10 - 2:00 amLove it. Best handling and most fun to drive SUV ever. I have test almost all of the luxury SUVs on an offroad test track and the BMW performed the best.

Pre-owned - satisfied to date! - 2002 BMW X5
By Tsagg - July 23 - 2:00 amShopped for an X5 for months. Didnt want to pay the $50,000 for a brand new so I found a 2002 X5 3.0 with only 17,000 miles on it. Extremely clean, hardly driven car. Have driven about 1,000 miles so far and have loved every minute. This is my second BMW (1997 328is) and they are by far the most amazing DRIVING cars in the world. The X5 lives for 80+ m.p.h. on the highway. 3.0 is plenty peppy off the start with plenty of torque but lacks some power at speed. No big deal though. Read all about the electrical problems in the 2001s which made me stay away from them. Paid $37,250 for a 2002 w/every option but NAVIGATION. (bought 7/10/04) w/17,000 miles

BMW X5 Rocks - 2002 BMW X5
By cbcommdk - February 7 - 2:00 amOther than dealing with a small cargo capacity, the X5 has been our most favorite car ever owned.

I LOVE MY X5 - 2002 BMW X5
By LA95CAM - July 23 - 2:00 amI 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.
