Overview & Reviews
A second-generation X5 finally appears after a seven-year run by the original. The new model is larger and benefits from a more sophisticated chassis design, sleeker exterior styling and an optional third-row seat that ups the total passenger count -- at least theoretically -- to seven.

Cant Say Enough About the New X5 - 2007 BMW X5
By anon5 - March 12 - 10:52 pmBMW has done an outstanding job with this redesign. The old and new X5 both perform well, but the new X5 adds REFINEMENT to the equation. Wind/road noise are hugely reduced. Interior quality is greatly improved. The sport package with active suspension hugs the road, yet gives very smooth ride quality with minimal lean in corners. Contour seats are excellent, although the active "massage" seats are a little weird (like having a python slowly undulate under the seat cushion). No squeaks, rattles. No defects. I tire of the computer-challenged press who constantly complain because they cant learn all iDrive features in a 10-minute test drive. I love the control it gives over vehicle functions.

Underpowered - 2007 BMW X5
By Frank - February 26 - 4:49 pmBought new 2007 X5 sight unseen. Ordered in October, picked up car in January. In gently rolling area the X5 3.0 seems underpowered. The transmission is constantly shifting and feels like it is straining. If you really put your foot on the gas, its not as noticeable. Love the design, in fact am trading in for the X5 4.8. Its going to cost, but my mistake.

BMW X5 - 2007 BMW X5
By AK15727 - January 26 - 10:41 amWe waited 5 months for our 4.8 X5 since we had to order it and it has exceeded our expectations. It drives like the 5 series with excellent handling and power. The engine is quiet and the road noise is minimal. We originally had an MDX and it is steps up in performance, handling, and comfort. I highly recommend the sports package.

My First BMW! A great ride! - 2007 BMW X5
By kp98077 - January 24 - 10:58 pmI bought the X5 in early January 07, was very close to getting the audi Q7, and have owned 3 other audis. But I wanted to try somthing different and glad I did! So far so good! This car is smooth, confident, and looks beautiful! I test drove all the midsize type SUV such as the Acura MDX, Mercedez ML350, Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne. I bought the X5 "demo" model so it already had 1000 miles on it. Was a little worried about that but no issues so far and all is covered under warranty.

X5 at its best! - 2007 BMW X5
By Sarah - January 5 - 3:08 pmI absolutely love my new X5. My husband and I argue over who is going to get to drive it on a daily basis. We previously owned a 2005 X5 and loved that vehicle as well however this new model puts that one to shame. Definitely the best SUV around!

It feels like a Bimmer - 2007 BMW X5
By Familyman - January 5 - 12:21 amThis is one of the best handling SUVs (or SAV according to BMW) Ive driven, equalled only by the new MDX. But what differentiates the X5 from the MDX are the tangible and intangible qualities of a BMW (handling, quiet cabin, solid build, "growl" of the engine, great styling and the looks you get on the street). We loaded the car up with lots of toys - lets hope its as reliable as their airtight 4-yr maintenance program. The only areas of improvement are the unnecessarily complex iDrive and limited legroom in the 3rd row.

Total Package - 2007 BMW X5
By L.A. Peterson - December 19 - 11:32 amThis is my third X5 to own. The interior has been completely redone and is very nice. The new body shape is also very nice. It rides great and handles like all BMWs. The added 35 horsepower to the 3.0 is noticable.
