This Year's Model Updates:

The high-performance X5 4.6is is discontinued. The 3.0i and 4.4i receive an exterior update, as well as a new all-wheel-drive system called xDrive. A six-speed manual transmission is now standard on the 3.0i, and a six-speed automatic is standard on the 4.4i. The 4.4i also receives a new 4.4-liter engine with Valvetronic and a fully variable intake system. Both models can add Sirius Satellite Radio and Bluetooth hands-free cell phone capability as dealer-installed accessories.

Pros:
  • Rides and drives like a BMW sedan, multiple drivetrain choices, top safety scores, high-end cabin furnishings.
Cons:
  • Less interior volume than a 5 Series wagon, price goes up quickly with options, poor fuel economy in the city.

    I changed my ML 320 to an X5 and Im happy I did. The X5 is fun to drive and has a very sporty feel to it. Everything is easily accessable. Overall, I am very happy with the car.

    The X5 is an exceptional SUV. It has great handeling in any conditions. It also has great pick up. I find that it is very confertable and the heated seats and steering wheel are heavenly.

    Love the BMW style and performance. Fun car to drive and has tons of space. But very disappointed in the car phone and voice activiation unit. Was told "phone is as good as a land line" by salesman & that is why I purchased it.

  • deep pockets - 2004 BMW X5

    Anyone thinkig about buying a used x5 out of warrantee needs to have deep pockets. The dealer has seen me so much that I think they are getting ready to give me an award for most visits for service. Two window motors,front headlight, rear light,door mordigs, window sunscreen clips, ashtrays that pop out of the rear door when closing,window washer tank cover broke off. All this right after manufacturers warrantee ran out. You need to buy a Toyota as a second car so youll have something to drive while the BMW is in the shop.

    Great pickup for an in-line 6. Fun to switch from auto to stick. Great sound system and is very comfortable to drive. Terrific on long trips, smooth, sound-proof, and very secure on the roadways.

  • JUST PLAIN GOOD - 2004 BMW X5
    By -

    VEHICLE IS FUN AND FAST. ON THE DOWNSIDE VEHICLE IS NOT GOOD IN SNOW. THIS COULD BE DUE TO THE SPORT PACKAGE WHICH CONTRADICTS THE AWD PURPOSE.....PUTTING THAT ASIDE AND ADDING ABOUT $4500.00 FOR GOOD WINTER TIRES AND WHEELS, THIS VEHICLE IS AWESOME.
