Just bought a 2014 xdrive35i with 60k and way more loaded than we expected for 24k. Not sure if that’s great but with shopping around it was a really good deal and we love it. Has a lot more options than we realized.

The BMW X5 is an outstanding vehicle. It's road manners are fantastic and the car just always goes where you point it and want it to go, this includes not only nice sunny days but in rain & snow. Extremely sure footed in the snow, you have a very solid comfort level that you are going to get where you are going in even the deepest of snowy conditions. The 35i is an outstanding engine with 300HP and when driven conservatively you'll easily see 30+ MPG on the highway. Opt for the 35d (Diesel) and you'll well be into the 30's MPG wise which for a full size, all wheel drive vehicle is quite good.

I could not justify the x5 price tag. The car is beautiful inside and out but I find it very tiring to drive on a daily driver base because of the heavy steering and general roughness. I had an m3 once and it was an awesome car to drive but it got old. I ended up driving all of the Germans for a 24 Hours and picked a fully loaded VW Touareg executive TDI for 62k msrp (59 out the door) and love it! Its everything the x5 is and more plus it cost 10-20k less

Great balanced write up, thanks. I have a 2016 (2017 model) 50d M Sport which is a 376bhp diesel, 700 and something NM torque SAV. Having come from an F10 M5 I was always going to be a bit disappointed with performance however the Tri-turbo diesel is an absolute gem. In comfort it's sweet as a nut, however knock the gear lever to the left and put your foot down and the car really moves, in fact it moves faster than it should really and possibly too fast for the chassis. Mine was built for me and I pretty much have all the options aside from Bose, 7 seats and few others minor options which in the UK will list at about £75000 however BMW are offering discounts and my car went down to about £60000 (still a huge amount of money!) and after a year I still look forward to spending time in the car. I have been on road trips around Europe taking my family skiing with of course with the obligatory top box and I drive all around the UK and today for example spent 6 hours in the car driving in and out of London (the traffic is terrible in London!) and I never get out feeling tired or uncomfortable. I'm getting 28mpg average but on a run will get late 30's and I tend to drive like an 18 year old hooligan :) At the moment I just can't see myself in any other vehicle.
