Very Poor Reliability

Very poor reliability. I am not going to say much other than if you buy one you were warned. Maybe because they are build in the states and not Munich. Maybe because they have so much electronics that no one knows how to fix when it breaks but mine has been nothing but problems. Climate control issue, leaking of fluids and high battery discharge than can leave you stranded and has twice. The sedans seem fine and I should know as I drive loaners of 1, 3 and 5 series more than my SUV. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere.

I love my brand new 2010 BMW x5 4.8. I can't get tired of driving it, it handles like a sports car and rides like a sports car too. The 3 row seating not worth the money, did not get - can only fit small kid, very small. Everything else I love.

I ordered an X5, 4.8 with: Cold Weather PKG Premium PKG Tech PKG rear climate 3rd row The ride is great, performance is exciting and everything just feels right. No need for premium sound system, the base package is pretty good, and I like to listen to loud music.

I acquired the car from a family member at 14k miles and have driven it for a total of 135k miles. It has proven to be an exceptional SUV in various aspects, offering reliability throughout its journey. The routine maintenance costs, including brakes, tires, and oil changes, are approximately 10% higher compared to other makes. In terms of additional expenses, I incurred the following: - A new radiator at 60k miles, costing $1000.00. - Transmission oil change at 90k miles, with an expense of $800.00. - Replacement of the battery after 7 years, totaling $400.00. - Footwell module and electric brake actuator replacement at 147k miles, amounting to $2500.00. While it doesn't demand frequent attention, when maintenance is required, it can be a bit costly. However, considering the overall performance, it's challenging to find fault. At 153k miles, the fuel pump, previously replaced under a recall, failed, necessitating a repair cost of $1300.00. Unfortunately, at 160k miles, the fuel pump failed again, signaling that it might be time for this venerable vehicle to retire from service.

Not worth the hype! (if there is any)

I should have waited. Interior is still boring, NAV is still a pain, gas mileage is much worse than posted, turning radius is one of the worst in its mid-size SUV class, and there is so much more to dislike.
