BMW X5 - Overview

The X5 suffers from confusing iDrive interior controls and cramped optional third row. However, it's a very family-oriented vehicle that has plenty of cargo room and possible seating for seven. Its sport-sedan performance also makes it fun to drive.

The BMW X5 was first introduced in 1999. It received a refresh in 2004 that included exterior modifications, a new four-wheel drive system and upgraded engines. In 2007, it underwent a full redesign and grew in interior volume by several cubic feet. BMW also made the third row optional and added more standard power and a new suspension.
