  THE BEST SUV - 2002 BMW X5
  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!

  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.
