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.

    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.

    Yes it is the best ride for the money and yes it looks even better than the previous model. The noise level is also reduced compared to the 2002 model. I got a 2002 X5 that was a pure nightmare, forcing me to visit 9 times to get all the problems fixed in less than a year. BMW North America was nice(?) enough to give me an replacement with additional charge and I had no choice but to get a 2004 model. Few weeks have past by after I got my new car. I have a squeaking steering wheel and a sun roof that wont securely shut.
