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.

A Real Driver - 2003 BMW X5
By rjr57 - September 19 - 2:00 amGet behind the wheel of this beauty and youll never want to park. The steering is so tight and the handling so precise that youll feel like youre ready for the track. The X5 is a thing of beauty from all angles, and the quality and rigidity are top notch. Its got all the handling qualities of a 5 series, but with better traction and a commanding view of the road.

Rides Like a Truck not a BMW Sedan - 2003 BMW X5
By GregM27265 - September 19 - 2:00 amIt is quick, it is nimble, and functions very well in winter weather. It is not used for off-road, so not an issue for me. I like styling. I wanted a V-8 which narrowed my options. After my first long road trip on interstate highways where I felt every imperfection in the road, I decided my wife (who loves it) could have it. It is not a long trip luxury vehicle which is what it replaced.
