What do you like about your car? What do you dislike?

My sister has one that I drive from time to time. It has incredible power but I feel like it drives like a boat.

Loved it when it was under warranty, fun to drive, descent looking crossover type suv.
Hated it when it was out of warranty. The smallest repairs cost a shite ton and seemed to happen very frequently. Now with that being said, it had issues under warranty but they fixed it and gave you a loaner car to use so it wasn't a big deal.
Conclusion.. Never own a BMW out of warranty.

I really liked the older X5 (2005 or older) than the new ones. The dash in the new ones is a little plain IMO, and for the price tag I think there are better cars out there.
FWIW I've had 3 BMWs and loved every single one of them, but as another poster said, if it's not under warranty, RUN.

If you want a bit more luxury over a 4runner, have you looked at the lexus gx 460? I believe it's priced similarly to the X5.

You found an X5 for cheaper?
ETA, I'm guessing, perhaps, they hold their value more than the X5, which is indicative of some of what has been posted here, I suppose.

I'm not sure what your price range is, but as far as "luxury" SUVs go, the M Class is hands down my favorite. But the Audi Q7 is really nice too. Nicer than the X5 IMO.

I knew I would own the 5 series long after the warranty so I stayed away from turbo charged engines (basically impossible now) and automatic transmissions (same). Outside of that I'd rather a BMW long term over any other make.

There is a reason BMWs and Mercedes lose so much value in the 2ndry mkt.

My dad is on his 3rd or 4th. He likes the ride height, the handling, and the quickness; in addition to to the obvious stuff.

I have a 2011 35i. It's got a lot of power and is pretty fun to drive for an SUV. If you want more of a luxury drive look at lexus. I have an extended warranty and it's a must. The drive shaft went out a month ago and fricked up a lot of stuff but cost me nothing. It was an impulse buy and I wouldn't do it again, but it's a good looking SUV. Stick with toyota or lexus. Much more reliable.

I almost bought a 2014 x5 last month but decided to go with a toyota landcruiser instead. The inside of the x5 was much nicer and looks great but, the toyota dealership was in my area and I didn't want to have to drive an hour away to have it worked on. If Lake Charles had a bmw dealership I probably would have went with the x5.

My mom had a land cruiser for a year and HATED it. This was the last year before they changed the body and she couldn't stand the ride. I loved it, she didn't.

Traction control on mine is the sh*t. Rides very well and is quiet on the highway - something I specifically purchased it for.
