Overview & Reviews
A new twin-turbo diesel engine debuts on the 2009 BMW X5, which promises robust power and enhanced fuel economy. Optional and standard equipment has been adjusted throughout the X5 lineup, as have the trim level names.
- Nimble handling, powerful engines, luxurious and comfortable interior, huge list of features, excellent iPod interface.
- Ride is on the firm side for some, munchkin-sized third-row seat, hefty price, frustrating iDrive interface.

Disappointed - 2009 BMW X5
By cruzian - March 16 - 8:48 pmIt seemed promising at first, but after a few months Im done with it. There are more rattles than an old Volvo, the 3.0 is weak, iDrive is useless, the run flats are crazy expensive and have NO traction in snow, and it rides worse than my F-150 4X4. Actually, my F-150 is built better, more dependable, has equal handling and performance, and gets about the same gas mileage. Now the evaporator is leaking freon. Maybe this 3rd trip in the dealer can resolve these issues.
