BMW X5 3.0 > Reviews (9)

~INTRO~
The BMW X5 is a good looking car, that will make you look good in front of friend and so on. It has all the things that you would expect from a luxury car, such as: CD player, alarm, automatic gearbox, and a LOT of power behind the stearing wheel.

~GOOD POINTS~
It looks really good and I mean REALLY good, the best colour to get it in by far has to be Blue though. It has lots of features like in the list I wrote in the intro.
It is comfortable enough to ride, which is what you expect from a car that costs £35,000.
The power that you get from it is amazing, considering that it is a 4x4, it has 350 pounds of horse power, and it will do a top speed of about 3700 rpm.
The automatic gear box (which can also be changed to manual if you want to by just pushing the gear stick to the left) is a grate addition to the X5.

~BAD POINTS~
For the first two years that you have the car every thing is fie and you will think that is a brilliant car, this may be because the warrant pays for all the damage done to it so you are not shelling out for repairs, but it may be a good thing to think about what will happen after the warrant runs out. After the first year of having the car we had to have 8 repairs done to it, first the wing mirror fell of on the first day we had, then the engine management system broke down and the car was doing about 1 mile to the gallon which wasn't exactly economical. This was all fine because of the warranty, but this was when it was new, and what would happen after that?
Also the car drinks petrol, on average it cost £80 to fill it up, this was before the petrol prices took their massive increase. It averaged about 20-25 miles to the gallon which meant we ended up filling the thing up every week, this is evidently not economical.
Another point that is not necessarily the cars fault is that when you are in it the amount of abuse that is thrown at you is amazing people act so aggressively towards you it is unbelievable.
And if you are thinking of taking it of road then forget about it because it is terrible possibly the worst out of all the SUV's .It slides around and will not go up a hill for love or money.

~CONCLUSION~
When you buying the X5 you are paying £35,000 for a car that really only rates as average, and this is not really a good idea agreed? If you are thinking of buying this car to go of road DON'T. If you are rich enough to buy this car and are buying it just to make yourself look good and actually you use a smaller car better then DON'T buy it your polluting the atmosphere!
