It's a solid vehicle with good performance and quality. However, for such a premium SUV, they have omitted or neglected a few features. Here are a few gripes: The tail gate will not open by waving your foot under the rear bumper for a completely hands free experience. This feature has been standard on all 5 series since 2012 and is especially useful for an SUV. After years of developing and updating idrive, why does BMW not update the idrive compatibility and new features (i.e. Apple Play) automatically and remotely via the existing satellite connection? Why are the front turn signals not LED like the 5 series sedans? We've owned several late model BMW's over the past few years. We get the impression over the years the design has become more attractive, however the decreasing quality and cost cutting measures are getting more obvious. We're tempted to try Audi products next time. Our friends are impressed with their new Q7's and A4.

Looking for a new car to upgrade from my MDX I decided to give the X5 a test. The car handled wonderfully and felt like driving a much smaller car. The interior was terrific and felt very luxurious. The infotainment center seemed to work flawlessly with a beautiful display. My big issue with the X5 is the amount of cargo space. I wanted to love this car so much I was trying to determine if I could overlook the cargo space, but it is just much too small. I even decided to take with my large cooler on my second test drive to see if I could squeeze everything in. For such a nice utility vehicle it would be better for BMW to find a way to double the cargo capacity. A real third row is unnecessary, but real cargo space is.

This is the sixth BMW X5 I have owned and it is the best yet. The stearing and handeling is fantastic and so smooth and easy, just like driving a car.

Updated review November 2018: Still score it an overall 5 stars. The more you learn how to use the technologies the enjoyment level increases. Highly recommend taking the BMW driving class to fully appreciate using BMW's performance capabilities. If I had to point out a negative it would be using voice commands to achieve a desired outcome e.g. BMW's voice command for this model/year aren't usable/effective and in fact they are disabling vice enabling and BMW should consider offering at least 2 map updates for the 70K investment. Our original review below is still accurate. The 2016 X5 35i is overall a 5 star SUV. Hands down, easy to assess. I am a "data miner" e.g. I research details, options, value, ratings, consumer reports/previous performance, warranties, etc. and I competively shop. I set our budget at 70K realizing that with all the reasonable extras to include interior and exterior protection, taxes/registration, etc. that the vehicle price is just the beginning. I spent just over 70K for everything and we have a "beautiful" BMW. I compared the 2016 Audi Q7, the 2016 Volvo XC90, 2016 ML Mercedes Benz, Land Rover LR series, Yukon Denali and the Lincoln Navigator/Cadillac Escalade. NONE fit into the overall 2016 BMW X5. I would have joyfully bought any that could stand against the X5 but if this was a mid size SUV Superbowl, BMW X5 would have the 2016 ring! I built the X5 on-line and the dealership was superb. BMW service is well above average. NO REGRETS! It's strong, luxurious, spacious, reliable, and full of effective technology. Visibility, comfort, etc. is so well designed/engineered. Highly recommend the contour seats and the premium package options.
