    Good Points: Easy to drive, comfortable seats, simple dashboard, good design, good engine sound and audio, practical, never gets outpowered in daily driving.


    Bad Points: Gearbox and suspension are the most unreliable parts and very expensive to repair. All the wiring is also badly engineered, contacts tend to get covered with oxyde and the corresponding devices fail, very annoying.


    General comments: When I bought the BMW X5 4.4i Sport, I had an tail light failure (right brake light and right licence plate light), washer hose leaking and now broken. The light issues I fixed by removing the rust from the contacts, the window washing system just needs a new pump and hose.
    Problems are easy to come. Also the gearbox seems to have both communication problem with DSC and massive wear. I just wait for it to break down and the insurance to compensate it ( not my car either, bought with credit). I don't really recommend that car.

    We test drove the Porsche Cayenne and the BMW X5 back to back and thought the X5 was a much better drive, handled better and was considerably cheaper for a higher spec model of the same age and mileage.

    Ours has the panoramic sunroof which is a great feature for taking advantage of what little sun we do get.

    The engine is superb, making great noises and having lots of grunt.
