Driving the x5 is a fantastic driving experience, with good all round vision. It is comfortable and full of useful gadgets, which make the whole experience a pleasure. Before buying such a car one should always take into consideration the hidden costs, petrol, tax, extras (tow bars etc) and the possible stealth taxes form local authorities for parking. The x5 is a fantastic car but is a luxury that can cost more and more.
The one downside of the car in my opinion is the boot size for such a big car the boot size is tiny. When going on holiday (camping) it was essential to have a roof box as well.
The car maintains it's value well but it is becoming harder to sell second hand gas guzzlers.
I love the X5 but would advise anyone thinking of buying it to consider all things mentioned, yes you will enjoy the car but you may be left with very little in your bank account.
This car is a 4x4 but not designed to off road. However one winter when driving it on an iced over road I had to do an emergency stop on a hill, I did not expect it to start again without some slipping but I was wrong. I was glad I had a 4x4.
