  The Dragon of SUVs - 2005 BMW X5
  By Bimman - March 16 - 1:47 pm

  I picked up my 4.8is at the BMW performance center what a treat. A must do for all BMW perfomance buyers. Drove back to NJ and Ill say this SAV has the mustard of a M5 and more. With the comfort seats installed an eleven hour drive seemed like 2 hours. Average mpg was 19.2 at 85 mph Awesome performance and handling. The best auto Ive driven in years.

  2005 X-5 4.4i Sport Model - 2005 BMW X5
  By T.J. - February 20 - 2:14 am

  Had a 2004 with just Premium package, so I upgraded to the sport model. Best of both worlds, great in snow and ice and still drives like a sports car on dry road conditions.

  this car saved my life - 2005 BMW X5
  By poopsie - February 4 - 1:24 pm

  I live north of Toronto, Canada, a very icy winter day, I had to take a detour and went down a snowy, icy hill directly into the path of a mercedes turned sideways, the BMW X5, used its threshhold braking to stop the vehicle without sliding miraculously I just drove around the mercedes like nothing happened. I love this SUV!! It looks great too!!

  This is my first BMW purchase. I have to say...This is the Ultimate Driving Machine. Everything I expected in a BMW, I have in my new X5.

  Best handling SUV - 2005 BMW X5
  By asl - January 10 - 1:52 am

  This is my 4th BMW and by far the best. Great handling and acceleration. Ride is quiet but firm with 19" wheels and sport package. The great reason for buying a BMW. Interior looks clean and classy. I recommend the comfort seat option for the softer leather feel and support. Its expensive but so are other SUVs in this class.
