Click below to read car reviews of the BMW X5. At Review Centre we have thousands of reviews of cars including other BMW makes and models, both new and used, like the BMW 3 Series, the BMW 5 series and the BMW M3.
The BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV sold by BMW since 1999. It features all wheel drive and straight-6 and V8 engines and up 3.0 L diesel engines. BMW scored a hit with the X5 when they took over British firm Rover and were able to combine their luxury sport performance excellence with Rovers know how in off road 4x4 markets. In contrast to the Range Rover models, the X5 was made as a luxury sport tourer with 4x4 off-road capabilities. In fact, It was the first SUV-type vehicle to offer a genuinely powerful sport car drive. BMW coined the phrase Sports Activity Vehicle to emphasise its difference to other 4x4s on the market and the X5 has sold sufficiently well to justify the approach. In 2003, both Top Gear and WHICH? magazine published surveys showing X5 customers were more likely to recommend their car to a friend than any other model on the market.
The BMW X5 is a superb luxury 4x4 with some of the best on road handling in this sector. Terrific engine, performance and specification make the X5 ultra reliable. The X5 also got voted Winner of the Top Gear Best 4X4 of the year in 2005.

I owned a BMW X5 for 8 months and could just not get on with it. Poor ride quality coupled with an extortionate purchase cost of 46K. Only to find it drove like a tractor and performed like one too, made my decision to get a Cayenne an easy decision to make. In essence an over priced vehicle that just cant justify its price ...

I have a December 2006 BMW X5 with 12k on the clock that I paid 31700 for this was 17,100 cheaper than it was new - so far seems like very good value for money as you can drive it all day long and still be as fresh as when you got in

If it wasn't for the BMW X5 i might have been restricted to a 'AARGH' people carrier. The only other choices I found were the Land Rover Discovery with its bad road handling or the VW Tourag with its appalling ...
