What Owners Say
"This vehicle has a lot of power with the twin turbo V8 engine, so much fun!"
Anonymous, AB (2013 BMW X5)"I am hard of hearing and the road noise in the cabin made it almost impossible to have a conversation on the open road. I had a terrible time getting my cellphone to connect to the Bluetooth. The seats are too hard for long rides. The car is absolutely wonderful on icy, snowy roads. I experienced a lot of ice and snow and the control and performance were great. I find the cabin temperature controls very confusing during the hot season. My wife finds the passenger seat to be hard to hard to get"
Anonymous, OR (2013 BMW X5)"This is one of the best handling cars I have owned, and by far the best handling SUV I have driven. The X5 feels heavy and extremely stable, even when cornering. I do not notice any body roll typical of other mid-size SUVs."
TODD P., NJ (2013 BMW X5)"The handling is superior to other SUVs that we have owned and make it fun to drive."
Anonymous, CA (2013 BMW X5)"Stands out from rest of SUV's in style. Best performing in suspension without a doubt."
LUIS T., MA (2013 BMW X5)"Fantastic acceleration, excellent high speed cornering, just fun to drive!"
ROBERT L., UT (2013 BMW X5)"Very powerful and handles well with the M suspension"
Anonymous, GA (2013 BMW X5)"Strong acceleration, overly heavy steering."
Greg H., OH (2013 BMW X5)"I have the twin turbo Diesel engine. Acceleration and overall performance is outstanding. On long freeway trips diesel gets around 24 mpg. Around everyday urban driving gets 21 mpg consistently. Very pleased with the amazing diesel...would definitely buy another one."
James N., CA (2013 BMW X5)"Super acceleration on demand."

Anonymous, NC (2013 BMW X5)"Extremely powerful, maintains full speed on steep hills, rapid acceleration allows car to avoid problems on the road."
Anonymous, CA (2013 BMW X5)"Handling is on the heavy side but incredibly precise and stable. Very responsive and agile for its weight. Fantastic acceleration when needed."
Michael-Jeanne M., WA (2013 BMW X5)"Amazing acceleration on the X5 5.0 version that I drive. Difficult to drive another car with a less powerful engine!"
Anonymous, MI (2013 BMW X5)"Fastest car I have ever owned. Quick acceleration gives great confidence in traffic. It is a little stiff for my taste, but that is the design the engineers wanted."
Jim C., UT (2013 BMW X5)
"This is the best cross country road car I have ever owned. It is quiet, tracks perfectly, is very comfortable and has above normal acceleration and handling."
