BMW X5
2009 BMW X5 Review
Diesel now available for Bimmer's big SUV.
"Think of the BMW X5 as a tall sports sedan with reasonable towing capability and a great view ahead. It's by no means an off-road vehicle, and in terms of utility, the X5 lacks the cargo-passenger flexibility and ultimate cargo capacity of many competitors. If sporting, on-pavement driving dynamics are the priority in a luxury SUV, the X5 is a great place to start. If family friendly utility and minimal aggravation are most important, it may not be...." more
2008 BMW X5 Review
Sport over utility.
"If sporting, on-pavement driving dynamics are the priority in a luxury SUV, the BMW X5 is a great place to start. If family friendly utility and minimal aggravation are most important, it may not be. As a tall sport sedan with reasonable towing capability, the X5 surpasses nearly all other sport-utilities. It's by no means an off-road vehicle, however. In terms of utility, the X5 lacks the cargo-passenger flexibility and ultimate cargo capacity of many competitors. It also comes with BMW's various e..." more

2007 BMW X5 Review
The sports car of SUVs gets bigger.
"You get the impression using BMW's iDrive controls that a conference room full of engineers decided how you should live your life and created an overdose of convenience technology intended to help you, but their guesses and compromises failed. The X5 is at the top of its class in terms of sporty driving dynamics, making us wish we could purchase an X5 stripped of gimmicks. Comfort, the usefulness of space, and sport sedan performance are the true reasons this SUV made us happy to drive it anywhere...." more
2004 BMW X5 Review
Freshened styling and a new 4.8is model.
"The BMW X5 offers excellent handling and performance. Regardless of how much cargo it hauls, the V8 model sure hauls itself. The X5 is a big, high-performance machine that can hold its own in any on-road situation. It offers the high seating position and rugged image that SUV buyers crave...." more
2003 BMW X5 Review
On-road performance, BMW panache.
"BMW X5 may be the best-handling SUV on the road. It may not haul much cargo, but the V8 models sure haul themselves. They are big, high-performance machines that can hold their own in any on-road situation...." more

Zero to 60 in just 6.5 seconds.

2001 BMW X5 Review
BMW answers the trend with road-going performance.
"We have mixed feelings about the BMW X5. It's cargo capacity is no better than a BMW 5 Series wagon. The height of the cargo area is much higher than the 5 Series wagon and getting in and out is more difficult, so it's less practical than the 5 Series wagon. Ride, handling and overall performance are not as good as the 5 Series wagon. And off-road capability is not as good as a serious 4x4 sport-utility...." more
