2001 BMW X5 3.0I Excellent Ve - 2001 BMW X5
By X5Man - April 5 - 2:00 amI have had my X5 for over 1 year. In my opinion, the vehicle has excellent handling in heavy rain as well as dry pavement. The car has precision steering and is very stable under emergency turns and maneuvering specially at high speeds much more stable than the Chevy Tahoe, Grand Cherokee & Explorer. The seats are very comfortable and the cabin is quite both attributes induce less fatigue during long trips.

Happy Camper - 2001 BMW X5
By #1 SUV - April 1 - 2:00 amI own the 4.4 and love this SAV. The power is incredible and it handles great. If you look at the specs of the 2003 Range Rover you will see its a larger X5 4.4. The door locks keep malfunctioning and the navigation system isnt worth the money but this truck is so much fun to drive.

We mustve been lucky... - 2001 BMW X5
By LOVE MY X5 - March 21 - 2:00 amWeve now had our X5 for almost 2 years. We love it! Im not sure what the others, including Consumer Reports, are talking about with all of their problems. Since weve had our car, it has NEVER been in the shop for any problems except for service maintenance (knock on wood). We love the the power of the 3.0 and the gas mileage (around 450mi to the tank). Its a great car to drive and being ranked #1 in safety keeps me at rest in a world with some irresponsible drivers. I agree with all the positive comments in the other posted messages (no need to repeat what has already been said).

2001 BMW X5 3.0 - 2001 BMW X5
By larryone - March 8 - 2:00 amHandling and build quality are the most outstanding features of this vehicle. Aside from the limited space aft and poor AM/FM radio, the X5 exudes a sense being sure footed and coveys confidence in its ability to cope with any all-road conditions, be it ice, snow, standing rain, etc. The most stable , best handling vehicle in the catagory that we have owned, (Jeep Grand Cheroke, Ford Explorer, Pathfinder SE).

Worth the Money - 2001 BMW X5
By Anna - February 26 - 11:36 pmHaving driven a sedan for so long, I wasnt sure how I would like the feel of a SAV, but I was pleasantly surprised with this vehicle. The handling and performance lived up to BMWs reputation of excellence. The 6 cylinder engine made acceleration effortless. The sleek and well designed interior allows for easy access to all buttons. I was truly impressed with this vehicle.
