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.

• Rides and drives like a BMW sedan, multiple drivetrain choices, top safety scores, high-end cabin furnishings.

• Less interior volume than a 5 Series wagon, price goes up quickly with options, poor fuel economy in the city.

  The X5 - well worht the money - 2004 BMW X5
  By CAHMER - September 6 - 2:00 am

  The X5 is a great SAV. It is fun to drive and handles great. The road is no longer a challange due to my bad back. The lumbar support option is well worth the money. Forget all the other SUVs! This is the ultimate!

  By srobey - September 5 - 2:00 am

  This is an awesome car to drive. It really moves when you need it to, and also when you just "want" it to. I love the way it handles with the sport package. I love the way it looks. My car is never going off road. It is a fun car!

  my new X5 - 2004 BMW X5
  By n king - August 26 - 2:00 am

  We have had three 530s but hated the new design, so we went woth an X5. Why we ever drove anything else is a mystery to me. Weve had a number of snowstorms already, and the car has been amazing, plowing through six inches of messy snow and holding its own no matter what. It feels just like a car, has a roomy, well-designed and luxurious interior, and we love it. It doesnt have that boxy feeling of many other SUVs weve driven. Weve owned BMWs for 18 years, and theres a reason for our loyalty. The 2004 X5 does not disappoint. Now all we need is a little Z4 to match.

  more fun than I expected - 2004 BMW X5
  By Bimmerman - August 25 - 2:00 am

  I had the pleasure of driving my X5 in Germany for six months before coming back to the U.S. The X5 handles like a dream especially at high speeds. Even if the rear storage space is a little tight, it has come in handy on numerous occasions. The X5 is reliable and the performance is great.

  Upgraded from 4.4i to 4.8is - 2004 BMW X5
  By Tampa Rob - August 23 - 2:00 am

  I did a diplomatic purchase on this vehicle through Joern Esser at Passport BMW in Maryland Heights, MD. Reeves BMW in Tampa delivered the vehicle and did an awesome job getting the truck ready for me. All in all an outstanding ride with the performance to match and looks that are exceptional. I highly recommend this BMW to anyone in this market and especially so if you can qualify for a diplomatic sale - the savings are substanial.

  First BMW - 2004 BMW X5
  By lexie - August 3 - 2:00 am

  My first BMW is an X5. I like the SUV, not crazy about the dealership. They switched the rims on the vehicle after I purchased it. It was a demo. They denied it, but my sales person even said they did. Drives like a sedan. Looked better with other rims. Great Sienna red color. Only one in town. Have had it 4 months and havent had any problems. Cup holders are inconvenient. Difficult to remove and replace rear cargo flap. Cant get the garage door openers to work.

  Great SUV - 2004 BMW X5

  Great SUV for around town and for out of town trips. The V-6 provides more than ample power. Fun to drive!
