  BMW X5 Review - 2000 BMW X5
  By Bpruett - December 21 - 8:10 pm

  This has been a very good car. It now has 120000 miles. The only thing other than reg maint was the transfer case/transaxle was replaced at about 75000 miles. This wasnt under complete warr. BMW shared the cost even though strict maint had been documented. At 117000, I installed a new alternator . It cost 350.00 which was a deal compared to the 750.00 that BMW wanted. I did the labor myself. I repair cars for a living so I keep very good maint schedules on my stuff.

  Experience with BMW X-5 - 2000 BMW X5
  By bjam - February 25 - 2:00 am

  In 4 years and 49000 miles this car has been in the shop for a repair just twice, both under warranty. The car is as tight and fun to drive as the day I bought it. I never keep cars after the warranty has expired, but in this case I am making an exception. I cant find another car I like any better, and it is so good I figure maybe to save a little money and stay with it for another year or so.

  Best SUV yet - 2000 BMW X5
  By dpospres - November 29 - 2:00 am

  This is the best SUV I have owned yet. A few minor issues, but considering how much is packed into this vehicle, I have no complaints. Extended warranty is probably a great investment. And of course....lets not forget the tax benefits.

  X5 - 2000 BMW X5
  By na193 - November 12 - 2:00 am

  I owned a Corvette and a 4X4 Jeep Grand Cherokee SUV until I purchased my X-5. The BMW combines both vehicles into one. It handles like the covette and has the utility of the Grand Cherokee. I will never by anything else.

  X5 - 2000 BMW X5
  By MKJ - March 6 - 2:00 am

  The BMW of sport-utes earns its stripes with outstanding handling and acceleration, coupled with class- leading ride quality and way above average fuel economy. My 2000 has never been in the shop other than for scheduled maintenance. At 42000 miles the tires have another 20,000 in them, and the front brakes were just replaced.

  2000 X5 Rating - 2000 BMW X5
  By jwnorris - April 9 - 2:00 am

  For a first year production the X5 has proven to be a top performer. The X5 includes all of the BMW characteristics as the other models. We have experienced only minor problems, e.g. key remote control of outside mirrors is not consistent and is a problem BMW knows about. The console became difficult to open and was corrected. The tailgate has been criticized because it has a top and bottom that open independently. However, when you open the top part of the door everything stays in place rather than rolling out and down the hill, thanks to the bottom part of the rear door. Performance is awesome! It handles in curves like any other BMW and is a thrill.
