I recently had the privelege to test out the new BMW X5 at a dealership near my hometown. Did I have intentions to buy this vehicle? Well, being a full-time student, I'd have to say no. However, I'd have to say that I was not as impressed as I thought...

Pros: Great performance for an SUV
Cons: Can't do SUV stuff
The Bottom Line: More sport but less utility than other SUVs.
Some years ago there was a fast food chain called H. Salt Fish & Chips that claimed that it offered fish that didn't have that fishy taste. I always wondered what the point of that was. After all, if you don't like the taste of fish why would you ...

Pros: its a BMW
Cons: price
Already these things are springing up in my hometown left and right. Hey, 7 ouf 9 people on my road own BMW's, and I did get a chance to ride in one for quite some time. Odd enough, I'm left confused about this vehicle, I honestly don't know what to...

Pros: driveability
Cons: noise, electronics, repair
In one sentence. I will not buy any first year models.
Here are the list of problems:
1. Sunroof leaks. This is supposedly a design flaw. Had to flatbed it to a different city to get repaired. See why in point #2. The water from the sunroof...

Pros: BMW styling. Powerful V8. Solid and handling for an SUV. Many safety features.
Cons: Price. Interior space lacking a bit.
Well, it had to happen sometime... BMW, arguably the "master craftsman" of cars, finally caved in and joined the SUV rush. After all, big-time competitors Lexus and Mercedes had come up with theirs, so why couldn't they?

Pros: Incredible traction, suspension, and interior
Cons: high price
As I shopped for a weekend car, the X5 caught my eye from the start. When it was first shown at the Detroit Auto Show in 1999, I knew that I would look at it when it came out.
The X5 seems to have it all. A firm ride, off road capabilities,...

Pros: It's a BMW!
4.4 V8
GPS system
Excellent quality
Cons: CD based GPS vs DVD
Poor UI for the On-board Computer System
PRICE!!!
The Bottom Line: If you can afford the X5 and looking for a SAV, then the X5 is for you. Do go anything less than the 4.4 V8.
Finally took delivery of my X5 December 1999 after being on the wait list for 4 months. And I am glad I waited to get the X5 vs another SUV. The X5 is everything it is marketed to be! A super class SAV for the active life style. Yes, I got the X5 because...

Pros: Quiet ride, good handling, nice leather, worth the money
Cons: Not rugged for mountains, bit expensive for middle-classerman.
hello again. RX5 is obviously a sweet looking car. Its got the luxury of a Mercedes, and the ruggedness of a Land Rover. Even though it is expensive, it is a 100% worth-it kind of car to buy. With its standad leather seat and roomy cabin, it blows all...

I knew this car was perfect for me the moment I got in it to test drive. the seats were so roomy that I never wanted the test to end. I wrote the check to the dealer befor I got out of the car. The handeling was great (for an SUV). I almost felt like I...

Pros: great handling and look

The international press launch for the BMW X5 included a test drive from here to the German automaker's assembly plant in Spartanburg, S.C., with educational stops at an off-road driving course and a racetrack.
But even after the...

I am not an owner of this car but I did test drive the car for about 45 minutes at the Ultimate Drive by BMW. I was able to really put this truck through it's paces by myself. Wow, what a truck. It is more like a really tall sports car. First off is...

Pros: Oh just do yourself a HUGE favor and test drive it!
Cons: Maybe gas, but if you can afford the car, you can afford the gas!!
This 4X4 is the best I've seen. It quickly leaves behind the Navigator, Expedition, Excursion, Explorer, and yes, even the Mercedes 4X4. It is so comfortable that you don't feel like you are even in a sports utility vehicle. The steering is so unique...

Pros: Performance, Handling, Styling, Name
Cons: Price
Actually, the BMW X5 is known as an SAV or Sport Activity Vehicle. And by all rights it should be. It no longer carries the distinction of being slow, poor-handling, boring SUVs that we once knew. First of all, lets talk about the performance. This...

The new BMW X5 is the first sports utility Vehicle from BMW. And let me tell you, this thing is luxury to the maximum. Just like all of the other vehicles from BMW, whether it be a car or van, this sports utility vehicle has class. The leather interior...
