Overview & Reviews

This year, BMW will finally offer a DVD-based navigation system, though you must still give up the in-dash CD player if you opt for nav. Besides that, rear head protection airbags (optional last year) are now standard, as is an interesting new safety item called a brakeforce display -- during emergency braking situations, an extra set of rear brake lights will illuminate to warn motorists behind you. If you order the optional adjustable ride height suspension package, it no longer precludes the addition of the sport package. On the inside, new Dakota leather replaces the familiar Montana leather upholstery (it's optional on the 3.0i model and standard on the 4.4i). Individual model changes include a body-colored tailgate handle for any 3.0i equipped with the sport or premium package, and V-rated tires and an unlimited top speed for any sport package-equipped 4.4i.

• Rides and drives like a BMW sedan, wide range of engine choices, top safety scores, high-end cabin furnishings.

• Limited off-road abilities, less interior volume than a 5 Series wagon, price goes up quickly with options, lousy fuel economy in the city.

  This is the best SUV on the market. The ride is superior to all other SUVs but the price can be a little on the high side.

  8th BMW since 1980 - 2003 BMW X5
  By AJSJR - October 20 - 10:00 am

  I have just over 2000 miles on my X5, and so far its everything I expected and a little more. The horsepower is ideal and makes it fun to drive. This is my eighth BMW and I am just as satisfied as my first.

  My X5 - 2003 BMW X5
  By gtaylor - September 7 - 10:00 am

  I really love my X5. It it really fun to drive. I purchased it about 2 weeks ago. I bought a Lincoln Aviator and traded it in within 2 weeks for the X5. Yesterday for some reason the battery was dead. I had to call Roadside Assistance to get it started. I took it in to a BMW Service Center and was told that nothing was wrong with the battery. I hope this doesnt happen again or Im going to start thinking that I made a mistake.

  By Patrick92127 - August 5 - 2:00 am

  Very safe. Handles great. Sucks gas, but worth it. Built like a vault. Intuitive controls. Agressive looks.
