Anonymous, NY (2018 BMW X5)"Wow! I've had Volvos and Benzs, but I tip my hat to BMW on this accomplishment. "The Ultimate Driving Machine" is not just a marketing ploy, there are so many big and little things that are designed to help the driver. The result is a strong engine (amazing mileage w/ diesel), incredible comfort, minimal road noise, clear heads-up display, stunning handling, and buttons/switches and displays that keep me safe, entertained, and in control. I hope this car lasts forever, because I envy no other car. This is my dream car and the one that meets all of my needs: Home Depot trips, camping, dog trips to vet, 2 hr daily commute, and room for 5 comfortably. Homerun BMW, homerun."

Glenn R., CA (2018 BMW X5)"Great acceleration for a diesel and great gas mileage"
Tom D., RI (2018 BMW X5)"It has good handling for an SUV. The transmission is very smooth and I barely notice it changing gears. The acceleration is not that great. My previous car had less horsepower and torque but had quicker acceleration. Also, the car is very quiet except when accelerating at which point it gets loud."

Anonymous, FL (2018 BMW X5)"The X5 has driving safety features which help my husband drive safely, stay in the lines, monitor speed etc. he has mild cognitive impairment. The head up display for navigation is so helpful. Note he is also part of a driving study sponsored by the neurology dept at a local hospital. He doesn’t care about it, but I feel safer knowing an objective observer is monitoring his driving."

Robert D., NV (2018 BMW X5)"It's a BMW. Nuff said."
