BMW X5 4x4 (2013 - 2018) xDrive25d M Sport 5d Auto Owner Review

The car is very practical with good boot and great hidden boot for more delicate objects or hiding stuff when parked. The car is easy to drive and you do not notice the smooth gearbox changing gear. It is engaging to drive down a winding A road and very comfy and pretty quiet on a long motorway journey, the seats are particularly good - I do not have lumbar support and in no way need it. The diesel engine is smooth and quiet and very good once up to speed, isn't electrically fast at pull away but not so slow it bothers you. It doesn't give any better fuel economy than 3.0 litre so disappointed in that, but cheaper to insure and tax is low. Have owned Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and a couple of Touaregs currently/in past and this is probably the best all round car, it doesn't seem to have any particularly weak points other than run flats ride over concrete road surfaces at speed which is very poor but good on tarmac. Reliability has been good although some minor trim - door rubbers and spring on lower tailgate are worn- rest still looks new.
