Extraordinary! - 2005 BMW X5
By Mimi - July 17 - 2:40 amI bought a new BMW X3 2006 this february, and had a very bad crash in which the car was totalled. I only suffered from whiplash for 3 days. If it had not been for the amazing new safety system of this car and the frame, i would not be writing here. So I made my decision that I will only drive BMW cars, which left me again with the decision: should I buy a new X3 again or should I upgrade and buy a used 2005 X5? I went with the latter option, and I am completely in love with the car! So much bigger inside than the X3it makes you feel even safer to drive, and the drive, outstanding - I have the sportspackage. I really love it!

Great Choice - 2005 BMW X5
By John M - February 28 - 6:09 pmMy wife and I purchased our X5 3.0 in time for our first child. Although we purchased due to the outstanding safety features, we have found the performance and handling to be very handy in everyday driving. We are so happy with our purchase that we are already considering a second BMW in the near furture.

The best BMW I have owned - 2005 BMW X5
By Rick - February 26 - 3:20 amIt does not get any better than the X5 4.4. Pleanty of power, handles great. I have the sports package with 19 inch wheels. It is a wonderfully handling car. I have had absolutely no problems with it. It even gets better mileage than my 02 X5 3.0.

Excellent - 2005 BMW X5
By smith - January 29 - 12:50 amThis was one of the best cars I have ever driven. I reccomend this for all suv drivers thinking about buying one of the safest cars out there and also with a little speed built in to it to. German built cars is the way to go with their quality performance and styling.

BMW X5 - 2005 BMW X5
By tom - January 11 - 10:41 pmI love my bmw and its been a great car with not one problem yet. It Is a really strong car and very comfortable. And we use this car a lot on long trips and the longer we are in the car the funner it gets. I was suprised that when we went to tahoe without chains, it went perfectly as if the road wasnt slippery.

I need longer road trips! - 2005 BMW X5
By ILoveMyX5 - December 27 - 1:53 pmThis SUV blew away all of my expectations. It is extremely comfortable, ultra sporty and very practical. I love this vehicle! It works seamlessly with my iPod and Bluetooth cell phone. I conduct business from my vehicle and this SUV allows me to conduct it with style and success. I cruise across the state to meetings and arrive feeling refreshed and ready for business. The safety features on this car will ensure that I arrive unharmed. It takes corners like a sports car and "floats" down the highway. Before you buy any SUV, you should test this one out!! Excellent vehicle!!!

By Lorne - November 14 - 3:57 pmThis vehicle has style, class, and enough horses under the engine to do what ever you would like. Its very versatile. One day Im going to business meeting and next Im pulling a 6600lbs boat to go fishing.

Amazing - 2005 BMW X5
By Bimmerman - November 8 - 7:59 pmTraded in a Lincoln Navigator for this little sports car. Best car Ive ever owned or driven. Makes driving fun, wife & I look for excuses to drive. Amazing the way it handles, accelerates and brakes. Almost feels like it anticipates your next move. Takes corners like it is glued to the road. Love the passing acceleration at all speeds.

X5 outdoes my expectations - 2005 BMW X5
By Bill - October 29 - 12:33 pmI have not been able to find a flaw in the design or structure of the 2005 X5. Everything works and in one year I have not had any problems. The new 4.4 engine is extremely responsive and very smooth. Holds the road like a vette. The price is high but worth it. I traded a 2003 for the 05 and am glad I did.
