I was going to make a comment about how it’s not a v6 but I see a lot of people already did that so I made a comment about how I’m not going to make a comment on that.
I'm having a heck of a time trying to decide between this and a Range Rover Sport of the same year. I've gotten to drive both; the BMW is more agile, quicker, more interior room and much better electronics. Range Rover is the ultimate off road machine, is more exclusive and rides like a 4wd Rolls Royce. I'm probably going with the X5...
@@DrivenCompanion It happens; people can usually tell if it was just a slip of the tongue or if you're full of hot air. This particular gaffe was brutal though; BMW is practically synonymous with inline 6's in the automotive world...no blood, no foul
No idea why people make a review of a vehicle and just don't know what the truth is. The BMW X5 si = NO AWD. Motor = Inline 6 3 liter typ N52B25 / BMW X5 xdrive 30i = AWD MOTOR = Inline 6 3 liter typ N52B30 . I never owned a BMW. But if you do your research online looking for an SUV and compare brands, you get the basic information just at your screen. People. If you make reviews of any kind, get the facts right. My 2 cents. BTW. If you are looking for a daily driver. The N52 engine is the most reliable engine - if you believe BMW engine gurus. That's what I am looking for. An SUV what does not give me headaches.
I wouldn't trust the opinion or knowledge of someone who thinks BMW made a V6. Reinforced by you not mentioning Range Rover when talking about luxury SUVs. Range Rover is where the ideal came from. Please try harder.
Mine was great when I bought it, but after 60,000 miles, it was an endless money pit. Stayed at mechanic all the time, and costs many thousands of dollars. All kinds of mechanical and electronics problems. The coolant leak could not be fixed, and they said to sell it now or I would be spending thousands more on a head gasket.
What are your thoughts? I am shopping right now and it seems it's not a good idea to buy one? Here is the car I am looking at. vancouver.craigslist.org/nvn/cto/d/north-island-2008-bmw-x5-30si/7142631142.html
