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.

  Great Car - 2007 BMW X5
  By RM - November 19 - 5:00 pm

  I love my BMW, great car, lots of power, best at taking turns at high speed. I dont know any other SUV like this one out there. I had X5 3.0 before and 4.8 doesnt compare - it is in a different league with the power and the sound of engine. I think its stick shift is the best, iDrive works fine, not sure what others referring to, all need my car to do is play a CD :). Bottom line - great core NOTHING compares, it is made for the driver. I do have side boards and I love them, yes, for short people hard to get out but I am tall and have no problem, it is actually funny when short dudes complain how difficult to get out... Love the car - it was made for me! :)

  SUPERB. BUY THE DIESEL - 2007 BMW X5
  By x5dreamer - February 10 - 4:05 am

  I am amazed at how good the X5 is. A completely different vehicle to the old shape and to my surprise (didnt think it was possible to better that one) much, much better too. The iDrive is a little tricky at first but its childs play once you get the hang of it. I test drove the Audi Q7 before and it drove like a tank with noticeable gear changes. All-in-all this is a great 4x4. I would recommend it but then again mine was made in Germany.

  Grand Slam - 2007 BMW X5
  By Jim - October 30 - 6:28 pm

  Our X5 is a real winner with its good looks, surprising good gas mileage with average of 21+ on our very first trip, great handling and well thought out design. If I cant drive our 530Xi, I want to be behind the wheel of this vehicle. Comfort and heated seats are a must. The iDrive is easy get over it.

  We have had our X5 for over a week now and we love it. After reading reviews I was a bit nervous with iDrive. However, it takes about an hour to master. We really love everything about our X5 and would recommend this vechicle to anyone interested. The only problem is we do not want to stop driving it. It is truly fun to drive!

  BMW X5 exceeds SUV expectations - 2007 BMW X5
  By david - August 26 - 3:28 pm

  Drives and handles superbly in comparison to the Mercedes ML350 and Lexus GX470. More features like run flat tires, xenon headlamps, etc., are standard equipment but on the others they are options nicer looking and zero cost maintenance warranty, the kind of warranty you used to be able to get with a Mercedes.

  Practical Fun - 2007 BMW X5
  By emc - July 30 - 2:38 pm

  Other than fuel economy that comes from a 350 hp V8 in a 5,000 pound SAV the X5 4.8 is a blast to drive. The iDrive was not hard for me to pick up. I really like the sleek gearshift with its two shift programs plus manual. The SAV is tight as a drum and no issues to report.

  Nice SUV - 2007 BMW X5
  By Pdx BMW - July 14 - 3:15 pm

  Very nice SUV - weve had other BMWs but this is the first with iDrive and I agree, iDrive stinks. In spite of the iDrive this is the only SUV I have ever driven that is actually fun to drive. (Weve had a few Denalis and Tahoes.) It drives like a BMW. Overall, its a good car, fun to drive, Id buy another.

  BMW Designed This One Exactly Right! - 2007 BMW X5
  By Greg - May 9 - 11:16 am

  This is my second BMW and my new X5 supports my previous statements about BMW being the best ownership Ive ever had. This X5 does everything right. The computer controlled transmission operates exactly the same as if I was making the decisions myself. The X5 drives amazingly like the Porsche 911 I recently owned, probably because of the Sports Package and 20" wheels that I insisted on having. This SAV is as close to perfect as any of my previous vehicles.

  Best SAV out there! - 2007 BMW X5
  By MattfromNY - April 18 - 9:43 am

  Picked up the X5 this month and put 800 miles on it the first weekend. Car handles great and is not even comparable to the Acura MDX (I have had two MDXs and this is a big step up). Test drove the new MDX and decided to go with the X5 even though it was more money. Car is rock solid.
