| X3, X5 & X6 (E53, E70, E71, E83) (2000 - current) BMW invented a new word when they introduced their SUVs to the world: Sport Activity Vehicle. Sportier and with more car like agility than the standard SUV, with all of the hauling perks for a more active lifestyle. Introduced in 1996, the X5 continues to be a hit. The younger sibling, the X3, was born in 2003. |

hmm, the only things my sis' X5 has gone in for was water leaking thru one of the windows (bad seal, I guess) and they had to replace a leather part or something or other.
Oh, that and she also got that one recall on her car done so now her car wont go up in flames

2001 X5 (3.0i) Sport Auto
We've had ours since June 01 and absolutely no problems. We had the fan recall done, of course. We've taken 2 major trips with the X5 and I think it's the best "touring" long distance car on the market. The (3.0) has plenty of power (I drive my 98 M3/2 daily, so I know power) no problem getting onto freeways and we easily did 80+ MPH over the Grapevine on HW 5 into L.A. a couple months ago. Maybe if you're towing, you might need the 4.4 V8. The standard 25 gal tank and the 6 goes along ways between fill ups. In short, we love it.
