Was the X5 your first BMW

Not my first BMW, but I liked the look, needed something bigger that was also AWD and came in a stick. Very few cars meet my requirements and the X5 checked almost all the boxes.

Third BMW car, there was an R50/5 in there too. 1994 318, 2003 325xi for my wife, and I wanted a 2003 5 series touring, but couldn't get one without the sunroof, which left insufficient headroom. Didn't need awd. Drove the X5 for four years and enjoyed it, but went back to a sedan.

Yes, my 2001 BMW X5 4.4i was my first BMW....
I own and enjoy both Mercedes-Benz and BMW automobiles, whereas my wife is now exclusively a BMW driver.

In 2016, when the lease on my BMW M6 Coupe ends, for my next vehicle I will most likely decide to get either a 2016 BMW X5M or a 2016 Mercedes-Benz GLE63 AMG, (which will debut at the 2015 New York Automobile Show this April).
