Good but miss expectation - 2010 BMW X5
By lbc - January 18 - 1:49 amGot the new X5 for a very good price. With just a few hundreds over invoice and factoring in the $2500 rebate, great deal. Had a BMW 330i with ZHP before. Expected a similar "best in class" dynamic. Was quite disappointed. The vehicle is close to my outgoing 2001 MDX than the 330i in terms of performance and handling. Dont know about the turning radius myth. Where my MDX could make a straight U turn, I have had to do w/ 3 point turns. Big gaps in the doors letting dirts in. Tires are run-flat only. Hugely expensive as BMW disallow repairs. A small nail had cost me $400.

Perfect - 2010 BMW X5
By Nick - January 3 - 11:57 amI ordered an X5, 4.8 with: Cold Weather PKG Premium PKG Tech PKG rear climate 3rd row The ride is great, performance is exciting and everything just feels right. No need for premium sound system, the base package is pretty good, and I like to listen to loud music.

BMW X 5 diesel - 2010 BMW X5
By Ken Kaiser - December 30 - 3:15 pmReally like the vehicle but hate the Navigation system. Not only can it not find an address that has been there for 30 years, but it wont let you enter an address if it doesnt recognize it. You can go to the developers web site if you know the latitude and longitude of the address and they will verify it and enter it in the update. Not good. Overall quality of the vehicle was excellent so far and the dealer was very good to me.

Needs better quality & reliability - 2010 BMW X5
By Tap - December 28 - 3:26 pmThe X3 and X5 have the same 3.0 sized engine. But the X5 is about 1000lbs heavier. Where is the "Efficient Dynamics"? It is sluggish after making turns. You are constantly downing shifting gears just to be normal on the roads. This one is not part of the Ultimate Driving machine class!!

Horrible X5 - 2010 BMW X5
By Nancy - December 27 - 10:40 pmLost wiper in heavy rain storm, one of the windows insisted to open on the freeway and flooded my car. The next day it magically cured itself. Alarm goes off on its own. I have observed this myself. Nothing passed by my X5 with loud music or exhaust. MY dealer cant figure it out. The battery is excellent. Lost the drivers memory seat, fixed it then it was the passengers memory seat. Whats next? When the car goes over a bump, the rear wiper and washer are on. You all get the idea...

The Best SUV/SAV Money Can Buy - 2010 BMW X5
By RD - December 22 - 5:49 pm2010 X5 has the shortest turning radius in its class, excellent diesel fuel economy, much improved iDrive system, and very comfortable/luxurious interior. We have 3 BMWs in our family, and the X5 is the most comfortable one by far. The only thing Im worried about is BMWs reliability issue down the road such as window regulators, fuel pump, and cooling system, I think an extended warranty will come in handy.

Top of the line - 2010 BMW X5
By manny - December 21 - 5:36 pmI love my brand new 2010 BMW x5 4.8. I cant get tired of driving it, it handles like a sports car and rides like a sports car too. The 3 row seating not worth the money, did not get - can only fit small kid, very small. Everything else I love.

2010 BMW - 2010 BMW X5
By RetiredDan - December 13 - 5:09 pmWe have had our X5d for 2 months now and love it! After the first week we took it on a test drive to Las Vegas and it performed beautifully. My wife went thru the owners manual figuring out how everything works and we were able to figure out all the features that we use without much trouble. The owners manual is great and easy to follow. So far it is just what we were looking for and the diesel is great. No more smog checks! Cant beat the power and economy of a diesel.

BMW X5 Diesel - 2010 BMW X5
By Colin - November 30 - 4:10 pmBought the car 10 days ago. Love it so far (never spent this much on a car). Engine is fantastic, seems really solid, and the gas mileage appears legit so far. We have 3 kids under 11, and it probably isnt the best family car in terms of space (compared to a minivan), but we did it anyway since its so much fun.

Finally a High Performance Diesel - 2010 BMW X5
By Rick - November 28 - 10:34 amWhat a great road machine. Typically amazing BMW handling with an torquey (425 ft. lb.) diesel to slice through traffic and pull you down the open road. This machine not only has great performance and luxury, it also is a very low emission (check the white glove tail pipe test) high efficiency engine that exceeds 25 mpg on the highway. I can start this vehicle in my garage with the door closed and have literally NO diesel odor after warming up for several minutes. The engine has a nice growl at idle that fades to barely perceptible at highway speeds. The fit and finish are perfect and with the technology package the is little left to ask for in terms of amenities. Many 1,000 mile trips ahead.
