Review
I absolutely love my new X5. My husband and I argue over who is going to get to drive it on a daily basis. We previously owned a 2005 X5 and loved that vehicle as well; however this new model puts that one to shame. Definitely the best SUV around!
Favorite Features
Over-all driving capability, comfort, space, luxury features, much larger sunroof than many of the competitors.
Suggested Improvements
In the future for BMW to make a hybrid SUV so that the gas mileage can be improved.

2007 BMW X5 3.0si 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl 6A)
Review
This is one of the best handling SUVs (or SAV according to BMW) I've driven, equalled only by the new MDX. But what differentiates the X5 from the MDX are the tangible and intangible qualities of a BMW (handling, quiet cabin, solid build, "growl" of the engine, great styling and the looks you get on the street). We loaded the car up with lots of toys - let's hope it's as reliable as their airtight 4-yr maintenance program. The only areas of improvement are the unnecessarily complex iDrive and limited legroom in the 3rd row.
Favorite Features
Car-like handling (low center of gravity, 50:50 weight distribution), build quality, lots of interior room, great styling and modest fuel consumption.
Suggested Improvements
iDrive, iDrive, iDrive! Backup camera images are too dark. 3rd row is for show, but not for people! Stiff suspension is a double-edged sword.

Absolutely a great X5. Had it for 3 weeks and love it. Wonderful driving experience. Acceleration and control put together beautifuly. I was waiting for this X5 after having a 3.0 before and I just love it.
Favorite Features
Power, acceleration, handling. Very fun to drive and leave everyone else behind (almost everyone).
Suggested Improvements
Fuel economy (oh well, it is a v8 after all).

Review
This is my third X5 to own. The interior has been completely redone and is very nice. The new body shape is also very nice. It rides great and handles like all BMWs. The added 35 horsepower to the 3.0 is noticable.

Review
The X5 is a great SUV. This is my second X5. It is a great car, dependable and comfortable, safe and has many features.
Favorite Features
Size, comfort, reliability, styling both interior and exterior. 6 cylinder has plenty of power. Large capacity, plenty of storage space for shopping. Enough room for our 3 grandchildren and our dog. Runs on regular gasoline.
Suggested Improvements
Gasoline mileage could be improved.

Review
This is my 5th X5 and it's a huge improvement over a vehicle that was already very good. It's quieter, smoother, more comfortable, handles better, has greatly improved interior convenience. The upgraded "contour" seats are outstanding. Sport package, technology package, premium sound system are worth the money. I'm one of the few who likes iDrive and this is the best one yet. I wish I had known that you can't see the heads-up display if you wear polarized sunglasses. Ventilated, massaging seats are probably not worth the cost. 3rd row seats add weight to the vehicle and will rarely be used unless you plan to haul elf-sized people or kids. Heads-up windshield display is not worth the money if you live in a sunny climate and wear polarized sunglasses. 350 hp is adequate, but it would be a much more exciting vehicle with an additional 30 - 40 hp.
Favorite Features
iPod interface + Premium sound system. Upgraded "contour" seats are outstanding. Stiff chassis, minimal road/tire noise. Interior storage and cup holders are hugely improved. Handling is more like a sport sedan than any SUV I've ever driven.
Suggested Improvements
Some of the plastic interior bits could be better quality.

Just bought my X5 today after a long research. This is a real driver's SAV/SUV braking is excellent, this X5 really holds the road. 3.0 has plenty of power Third row seat small but how often do you need to haul 7 adults over 5'6". BMW made large improvements over the 2006.

Review
The bottom line is that the car is great. Not a thing to complain about. The perfect everyday driver. The iDrive is easy and very intuitive. I would suggest using the memory keys and the voice commands while driving.
Favorite Features
iDrive, motor, build quality.
Suggested Improvements
Make more of them and switch to XM radio. Make more phones Bluetooth compatible.

Review
Other SUVs can't come close to the safety and drive of the X5. The X5 drives like a dream, handles like a car and, simply put, hugs the road! If you needed to swerve to miss something you feel very much in control in this vehicle. I would recommend this car to all. The 3rd row is just generic but the adjustable 2nd row makes up for it!!
Favorite Features
Drive, leather seats, navigation, size of entertainment center.
Suggested Improvements
Better 3rd row.
