I personally have this exact SUV. Only difference is no rack and wide rear tires. I love this SUV. It gets around 16 on highway and depending on how heavy footed of a driver you are around 10 in city. Be prepared for LOTS of suspension issues though. The self leveling suspension is a pain and expensive to fix at that. Also be prepared for VERY expensive brake changes. AND you can't forget the sweet ski bag that pops out of the back center consul. Love this SUV though!
6:00 These buttons are actually fragile as paper imo. Sometimes, they can fall when I kickdown lol. Also another heads up: the intake and air filter are actually 1 whole thing. So you'll have to take them BOTH out to get to the filter. -03' X5 4.4i owner.
4.6is was released in 2002 and stayed for 2 years till 2004 when they made the 4.8is, i'm guessing they realized the 5 speed tranny wasnt cutting it, and it needed something more over the 4.4, they also managed to dramatically increase fuel economy with the 4.8is., also what most people don't realize or understand is that small engine does not mean better on gas, there are huge engines burning less than 4 cyl., fuel consumption depends mainly on the driver and the road conditions.
Clearly the nicest car on the lot! This is LUXURY!! I got an '01 for my graduation gift! Hardly any different except this 4.8is has a few more options than they even offered in '01 but any of the X5s except the very very basic packages are still very luxurious and look up to date still!
I am just trying to learn to be happy with the one i have because I honestly wish i did have the face lifted one! Give me something to hang on to here!! haha dont bust ALL my bubbles! I still do not think it makes a big difference
love your video's its refreshing to see an overview of a car that is not 2 mins it really allows for the viewers to appreciate the finer details of the vehicle the only thing is i'm surprised there not flagged by youtube for all the licences music.
@Bmwx5fan9 I had a 2003 X5 4.8ltr V8 as my first. But I was just using it when my dad bought a Jeep while he was looking for a new car for me that was better on gas and not an SUV. But that was my favorite car ever... :( Black on black interior. Best car ever, even though the air conditioning didn't work, but that's what sun roofs were for ;)
thank you! this is by far the best review of a x5 ive seen. at last i got to see all the details and how it was to drive the monster. thank you again dude
mann you are the best! i relly enjoy this car but i never have a chance to see the detail inside and a lot more things thank you!! the german cars are the best!!!
In Europe it's common to see BMW 1, 3 and 5 Series with cloth interior. Leatherette and leather are options there. The newest BMWs in the lineup can be ordered with a cloth/suede combo here in NA or standard leather and leatherette.
Cool. How long have you owned it? I about to buy a 2005 X5 4.8is with 105,000 miles on it. Any big issues to watch out for? Is yours still running well?
Nice vehicle just recently own one drives awesome wide tires grey black love heated seats and steering wheel also air too so many features the model style is awesome
@prt1667 put it into reverse or drive, or there is a button with a P and a circle around it, press that, that will manually activate the parking sensors,
you missed out demonstrating upon engine start the LED lights indicating the suggested rev limits on the tach which gradually extinguish as the engine warms up
I have to say, this is a beautiful x5! Though if the price i saw on the floor is correct, 28,000 for a 2004 is ridiculous! I have a 2000 bmw 740il, it has the same options the x5 has in the inside of the car. I hope they can lower the price and sell it to someone who treats it well. Great review by the way!
it is fun to wait for the trailer at the side of the road , cause your electric system something died , and the lovely dealer tells you later on we found the mistake and its cost 25 hundred to fix it awesome car
@Michael3752 Chrysler doesnt have the best cars, but the HEMI is actually a really good engine that has been in production for the last few decades. Its been perfected throughout the years. It sounds great too. Notice I was comparing the sound, not the actual car
the appear and thge sound of this suv is awsome and i enjoy it. the sun shade we don t have so fair i know.and you x3 bmw wil bring x1 to if am correct.

@04smallmj i think some of them do. i have seen a few cars with the rear fog lights here in the US but not shur if they were all BMWs some may have been mercedes and volvo but i have seen them here anyway just not that many
Nice!!! Just curious, how do you know all the dealers? Is it because you own one yourself? It seems like there is no dealer that tells you NO when asked to make a review of a vehicle. Must be have some connections!
The other day ideas messing around with the radio settings on my 2004 BMW X5 4.4i. I hit the button that says DSP and it came up with three different options= Concert, jazzclub, and church and I picked concert and it sounded the exact same. That's why it sounds so much like a concert in your video.

I think that the '90-'10 was the best era of BMW, great looking cars and ahead of times
i like this model way better than the 2007-present model
This model is good, but the 2007-2013 one is better
Does this model suffer from timing chain guide failure?

I just love how BMW has the limited RPM feature with lights on the RPM clock that helps get the engine all warmed up!
The X5 holds its value very well. I want a 4.8is in Imola Red or Alpine white
4.6is was released in 2002 and stayed for 2 years till 2004 when they made the 4.8is, i'm guessing they realized the 5 speed tranny wasnt cutting it, and it needed something more over the 4.4, they also managed to dramatically increase fuel economy with the 4.8is., also what most people don't realize or understand is that small engine does not mean better on gas, there are huge engines burning less than 4 cyl., fuel consumption depends mainly on the driver and the road conditions.

Adam Satterfield hardly any diffrence? :D theres so much in facelift lights... bumpers grills etc etc
But it doesn't look any better than the original!!!!! Stop hating you're jealous
i prefer the facelifted one :D to be honest
I am just trying to learn to be happy with the one i have because I honestly wish i did have the face lifted one! Give me something to hang on to here!! haha dont bust ALL my bubbles! I still do not think it makes a big difference
i wouldnt be pissed at all 2001 is good too whats the engine?

I own e39 528 and I would like to buy X5
There is nothing better than BMW
it is another BMW
One of my favourite BMW-s.
I Just bought one in Ghana for when im out there and the car is AMAZING!! :)
How does it handle the roads and rainy season? Are there places to get it serviced reasonably?
deff needs new tires, damn
Why not mentioning the air suspension with height adjustment?
thank you! this is by far the best review of a x5 ive seen.
at last i got to see all the details and how it was to drive the monster.
thank you again dude
Very nice suv. Rare though and it's very hard to find one in this condition.
it has 105,000 miles on it, engine still roars to life!!!!!!!!!!
That sound system... is AMAZING
These days was one of the best times
thats my car!!!....same year and everything but mine is black on black though.....love it sooo much
I just love the style of the headrests.
And the seatbelt chime kind of sounds like something in a Chrysler vehicle.
mann you are the best!
i relly enjoy this car but i never have a chance to see the detail inside and a lot more things

that sun/moonroof is sick
I cam real close to ownin a X5, I think the one that I was gonna get was an '02. It was blue with black interior, and the wood grain. Very fancy SUV.
@Saabkyle04 we must change the rear tires
I love these. For some reason I want one.
Too many try to review cars like you do. Keep up the good work.
I test drove a 2004 BMW X5 4.4i, fully loaded a few days ago... And it has EXTREMELY tight steering.. Is this normal for an X5? lol
@prt1667 put it into reverse or drive, or there is a button with a P and a circle around it, press that, that will manually activate the parking sensors,
Love that car hope to get one like that

very nice X5 all it need is some HRE rims and a Alpina exhaust.
thanks for putting up these videos bro; these are great walk-arounds.
the 1999-2006 BMW X5 was assembled in
Greer, South Carolina, United States
Toluca, Mexico
I have the 4.4i
I cant believe it’s equipped with hazard lights:)
Karl Karl lol
did you do anything to it? like add a body kit or something? cause it looks sportier then usual.
4.6is and 4.8is we’re basically X5 M before it was actually a thing
i love tht sunroof. BMW makes pretty nice "savs"
Damn, your videos have come a long way man. Keep it up they're awesome, I just watched your 2016 M6 Competition edition review that car is insane!
That is there to tell you the oil and engine and cold, as it warms up they go away.
the appear and thge sound of this suv is awsome
and i enjoy it.
the sun shade we don t have so fair i know.and you x3 bmw wil bring x1 to if am correct.
This video went up the day I moved to Florida.
Amazing car
Do BMWs in the US come with rear fog lights?
Rear tires are almost bald!
Can you please do a video on a 2007 x5 I am thinking of buying one

Buddy you forget to talk about the air suspension system?
Wonder which salvage yard this X5 resides in now
Thankyou so much!Great review as always!
@kauno740 yep, they put glasspacks, light glasspacks of course on these bmws
You might need to change the two rear tires there buddy! and inflate them to the proper PSI
Dunkin it's closed in the Morrissey Blvd.
@michoacan684 it has a 6 disc CD changer he says that at 10:30 if you watch but i dont think there is one in dash if thats what you mean
