BMW X5 3.0d 5d Auto (01) (2001/Y) Owner Review
Want to know everything there is to know about this car?

Economy
Value
Compare depreciation of a one year old X5 and a brand new Mondeo and you've got value. I haven't had to pay a penny out even when the car had electrical faults as its all covered under the warranty.
Costs
A lot of money to buy, but the depreciation is excellent and you appreciate the quality every time you get in the car.

On the road
Driving
Handles very well, not body roll or feeling of wallowing around on the road.
Performance
Quick and responsive on the motorway. Light and agile around town.

Living with it
Reliability
A few electrical problems. Battery's could deal with the cars needs a little better. Maybe a back up battery would be a good idea rather than leaving the human cargo stranded when there's a faulty electrical leak?
Image
Ideal for 25-40 yr olds. Anyone older may look like they're trying too hard. If your hair is white, get a Range Rover.
Comfort
Spacious, all the toys, great seats. The car greets you and sees to you like a good doorman every time you use it.
