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.

    BEST SUV IVE EVER OWNED

  • 4.6 il - 2003 BMW X5

    I purchased this vehicle after owning a 4.4 for a few months. I was very happy with the 4.4 but wanted the highest performance offered in the 4.6. I am delighted with both, but the 4.6 is definitely worth the extra money. There is nothing to complain about-- its a terrific machine!

  • X5 4.6: A Mix of Sport Utility & M Power - 2003 BMW X5
    By -

    This version of the X5 is truly an awesome blend of power and performance. It drives like a sports car with a hard ride and razar sharp handling... The Standard 20" rims and crome dual exhaust covers give a subtle hint to other drivers that this is no ordinary X5. The dash is designed the same as the current M3 dash. If the feeling of leaving other drivers in the dust at a red light appeals to you this is the truck for you... but be warned.. expect plenty of visits to the pump.. It averages about 10mpg. It may not be for everyone, but those who appreciate the raw power (0-60 in about 6 secs) and incredible design will truly love owning one.
