BMW X5 3.0i AWD

My dad has this car, and I really cant say on thing bad about it. It is beautiful, comfy, great interior, fast, everything you want in a car. He has just about everything on it and has the new twin turbo version. In my opinion, the best things about it are: automatic high beams - i know that it takes very little effort to turn your full beams on and off, but having this means that you dont have to think about it, and dont blind other drivers when you forget to turn them off. Also its such a cool toy!! The nomal lights on the X5 are by the way close to other cars' full beams! The Ipod player, being able to go through your ipod on your ...  Read the complete review

I have had my new X5 for two months now and so far I am not totally impressed. I hate to say this but I have driven a Lexus RX300 for a couple of years and it handled much better not to mention it had alot more gadgets like an on dash computer etc. The RX300 was also alot more intuitive to figure out just where everything is.

Well after the Rap scene was over the X-5 obsession it got down to comfort and dependability. The X-5 had very little of any of that. Maybe I just got a lemon but I got rid of it soo fast it would make your head spin. First things first... It drove like a truck. Rough! Bumpy! it would shake you around. We dont have real smooth roads around here. Second the electrical system was shorting out in various places....maybe because it was so damn bumpy....In any event one headlight would go out periodically and then just come back on a few days later. The sunroof after 4 months just quit working altogether. Several Warning lights would come on for awhile and ...  Read the complete review

The X5 3.0 Sport needs to be driven to be properly appreciated. Gone are the traditional rattles,sloppy suspension and less than positive steering. This vehicle has all the refined attributes of the executive saloon with the added benefit of continuous 4x4,allowing you to work and play! Having driven the so call competitor vehicles (Merc, Lexus,Jeep,Range Rover etc) there realy is no comparison. The standard features leave you gasping,whilst the realistic factory options add to the sexy appearance.I bought the Comms Pack offering sat nav,tv,phone,traffic master plus other benefits.I also suggest Bull Bars and side steps. Drive it and you will be ...  Read the complete review
