Well done BMW, best looking car, best car to drive, just so BMW!!! Definately best in class, which blows the soft, truck like handling M Class and the huge ugly duckling Q7 away!!! Keep it up!

Since the X5 came to the market it was and always one of the best looking suv's in it's class and i like the 2009 model with a sport package, but i hate the interior!

I'm in agreeance...I always thought the X5 was the best looking SUV (SAV) out there...I gotta say though...I can't help but feel that this was the beginning of the end...things starting going in all the wrong directions from here. Just my opinion of course. Either way can't believe it's been 10 years...Kudos to BMW

Some have success. Some need bailouts. Makes one wonder is that was just a battle and this economy is the war

This has always been an amazing car, congratulations BMW... I hope that it survives in the future becuase i think it would be a great loss... And i think the new one with the sport package in grey looks AMAZING! (its what i would get)

I'm sure when the X5 gets it's midcycle "refreshin" it will get the 3.0 liter twin turbo and the 4.4 liter twin turbo, giving it the names X5 xDrive35i and X5 xDrive50i. Not sure how then there would be room for an X5 M that only has 30 more HP than the xDrive50i. I'm thinking the new M 8 cylinder motors will be closer to around 500 hp. Still Twin Turbos but maybe 4.8 liter? Or just the same 4.4 modified for much more power than 430 hp.

Ya, im with all you guys. The first Gen X5 is still a great/sharp looking truck. Even today, 10 years later. The engine options were always good, and it was amazing how damn quick even the 4.4 was for a "truck", goodtimes.
