BMW X5
| | Model of the car: | BMW X5 | | | General comments: | Almost bought an MDX deposit down and everything....just drove the Bimmer for the hell of it and was sold. Also drove the 3 series and 5 series....man awsome cars! Always wanted a sports car but need the room of a suv, 4x4 and hate to admit it th looks and feeling of owning the road. all the SUV's in the 50k price range fit that criteria but the X5 just shines. Amazing handling dynamics, power, fit and finish and teutonic feel. I have read some reviews on how poor the cargo carrying capacity is but I fit 4 people, a dog, all their luggage, plus my golf clubs and cart! even the kennel! Yo just need to know how to pack stuff and its possible. Besides that the the handing alone and performance is worth the sacrifice in cargo carrying capacity. 50:50 weight distribution is also a plus. only problem I had was the DME, which needed to be replaced. and the fan recalls, customer service is first rate at Budd's in Oakville Ontario, as well as Grand Touring Cars in London. Overall the ultimate driving machine. BMW knows how to build sports cars, in the X5 all they did was build a sports car that looks like an SUV. | | | What things have gone wrong with the car: | very pricey
