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.

Man, I noticed nobody has been to this part os the forum so, I'm gonna TRY to get things rolling for us X5 owners

Tell me something about your car, like ext./int. color, engine size (3.0/4.4)......you know, just so other X5 owners can get to know other X5 owners better.......

Yeah, the 4.6l are bad ass, they're not even out yet, hmm, maybe they are now? But those things are awesome! They're really sporty

I'm still trying to figure out what to buy my wife for a car... been looking at the 2001 325i ... decided to look at the X5 yesterday after seeing a 4.4 on the street but I think it's way out of my price range.. like $40K even for the 3.0...

I'd recommend getting the X5 over ANY SUV out there, only b/c my parents don't take it off-road........

My dad has owned a jeep grand wagoneer, a Toyota Landcrusher, and now an X5......for the money, it's well worth it (this is coming from a guy who also drives a 2000 MB s500 AMG)

If you and your wife get a new car, I say stay with German, especially BMW The e46 aren't bad either, they drive like a dream too......can't go wrong with either choice, good luck with your decision

Is that why the X5s were recently recalled?

Not a bad choice there, I like the 330i more simply b/c there is more power, but I like all of the new e46's
