This Year's Model Updates:

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.

Pros:
  • Rides and drives like a BMW sedan, wide range of engine choices, top safety scores, high-end cabin furnishings.
Cons:
  • Limited off-road abilities, less interior volume than a 5 Series wagon, price goes up quickly with options, lousy fuel economy in the city.

    Fun to drive. Very response with sport package. Its German quality and handling of a BMW with a better view of the road. Interior is beautiful and its not to trendy whereas many new cars interior get boring after a while.

    I absolutely love my X5. I have absolutely no problems with it at all. It is extremely comfortable. It drives more like a car than an SUV.

  • BMW has a winner - 2003 BMW X5
    By -

    Very pleased with the performance for the size engine. Spacious & comfortable including back seat passengers. All the amenities of a luxury class vehicle.

  • Off-road capable - 2003 BMW X5
    By -

    As a previous Range Rover driver I find the X5 remarkably capable for most off- road adventures. The adjustable height option affords critical clearance for going through deep snow, sand and over rough terrain, but the four wheel drive has never not been up to task. This is a remarkable vehicle as comfortable with traversing sand dunes, as getting through 10 inches of snow or nimbly navigating Boston traffic. Its only limitation is cargo capacity, so be prepared to get a roof rack or trailer for the Utility part of SUV. The 3.0 provides more than ample performance while providing reasonable gas mileage.
