I wouldn't buy a recent X5, much less an 02-05. My BMW obsessed friend advised us all against the X5, and they're regularly noted for reliability issues. I looked at them hard, but nearly every person I talked to advised me to look elsewhere.

Girl I know got a 2012 X5 about 2 months ago from Carmax, which was a disaster. Swapped it for a 2014 Jeep GC Limited, and couldn't be happier.

I have a 2011 X5 and it is an awesome driving car and hauls arse. That being said, it's had issues. A couple of months ago the drive shaft broke and destroyed the oil pan. Previously the car wouldn't shut off. Wife had to drive it to the dealer for them to shut it off. Something wrong with the igition switch. It's still under warranty, plus we purchased an extended warranty. A must for a BMW.
