Come on guys give me some bad things about the X5 there must be some thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I will have to agree that it does not get the best gas mileage or shall I say petrol kilomage. I get about 16Miles Per Gallon. However, I am used to driving a vehicle that uses more gas than others.

If you are used to driving 300HP cars, you may not get the same excitment. I recently had a 2004 545i and 2001 330i as a loaner . I really liked the 545. I need to save all my pennies for a M5 . Although, the X5 is fast and handles well, it is not the same as some of these cars.

One thing I do not have too much experience on, but concerned with is future services. I am currently covered for any service. I am just concerned about how much parts and services will be after this coverage runs out. Perhaps others can help you with this part.

After reading about your life style, I think the X5 will be the best fit. Nothing else will be able to tow your bikes and seat people as well as the X5.
