HDDVD was significantly smaller capacity discs leading to many contemporary films being too long to fit on a single disc. Add the lack of special features and BD-J and BD-Live equivalents and you're looking at inferior tech at a [pre-collapse] similar price tag. The Zune was just a mess: awful software, awful support, and tons of bugs and errors. Add in the hilarious amount of expensive and proprietary accessories and again... inferior product vs the competition. Apart from the $15/month subscription service [PACKED with WMDRM and license syncing bugs] there was nothing better about the Zune.

After 8 months of slow acceleration, tippy handling, higher fuel cost, barely being able to see the road at night, and picking up things that fell out of the cargo area when opening the single-piece liftgate, I sold the 4Runner for the same price I paid for it and bought a 2018 X5.

I use it for daily driver it's very smooth on the highway it has nice room inside and I will drive it to it blows up. Then when I'm not driving that I drive my 1969 Chevy pickup truck my dad bought it new showroom condition I drive that in the summer I add vintage Air conditioning I redone the motor 6 years ago punched out to 327 a little nice posi rear nice headers not to loud . But this BMW did not give me an ounce of problems all I did was the service my buddy is a mechanic that works on diesel vehicles everyday vehicles and sports cars and old hot rods.. it is a little noisy when it's at the red light idling but when you take off it is smooth as silk and plenty of power and cargo room for what it is.... I would not buy another BMW not my cup of tea . I was very thankful of getting the vehicle that was left to me and I was impressed of the gas mileage how it rode and how many miles it's lasting so far.... But I do love my Chevy pickup trucks from 1979 and down.. and I do not take the BMW to a Harley Davidson show I take my 69 Chevy and tow it with Americana a Chevy pickup. All around the BMW did me well then it's still going everything works stil and great in rain and snow AWD is nice ... The only complaint I have is a navigation screen it's fading a little bit and also the headlights get fogged up so I had to get the head light cleanup kit which I have to use every other year because the sun I guess makes the plastic turn darker....

Im from Germany and my dad bought that car for 31 k and it’s absolutely unique and Elite I love it and how it feels

[@zeus5276]

I have an '08 X5 3.0, and yeah, its a little much with the buttons and old outdated tech meant for old people and Karens. And while it has been very reliable to me so far, I'm not looking forward to when it isn't. Still love it tho

[@noobeenaut]

My uncle had an x5 from that year range. It was great for a little while. Then it started gushing oil. I heard it cost him thousands to fix.

[@ColinChambers44]

it’s so interesting how you see the x5. i see it as soulful and fun and the true “sports” utility vehicle. the 4runner and all the other japanese SUVs except the land cruiser are soulless appliances

As an avid Diesel BMW owner, I definitely think you should drive a tuned/deleted one. I know there's a bunch in PA. I don't feel you would have thought it was so boring.

We need more diesels in rcr

True . . .and while I'm not a BMW fan by any stretch . . .that X5 M Competition is absolute insanity personified.

Great every day car but the rear suspension airbags are built to break at 80k. I call mine the tractor because you’re 100% correct on the sound

[@Andy-bm6zo]

Wow that was pretty rough. I think the E70 has aged great, & it’s sister the E71 spawned countless copies. The interior of this generation, in my opinion is superb. Just clean & very spartan. This car likely out handles everything in its class as well. These cars were Ofcourse developed on the Nurburgring. X5 vs 4Runner is easy choice for me. I will always take the X5...

[@nym5qu17]

my grandpa has a first gen x5, love it

Dennis: if Harold Slovinski owns X5 instead of Honda Accord

[@thorium220]

My parents had a '05 X5. Their need was a family-sized SUV that can take your kids, a dog or suitcases in the boot, and can tow a horse float with two horses. In Australia, your options in 2011 were the X5 or a Toyota Land Cruiser. My parents never buy new, so in 2011 they were comparing an 05 X5 to an 05 LC. The LC was MORE EXPENSIVE.

This is literally my favourite BMW ever made second to the e38

How is this possible? No stick shift? On a BMW? Favourite car?

[@yeshwantdasari2075]

its a hot take, but i think i understand. the design of this has aged really well and its a pretty good used buy even today. (as long as its a good clean car)

[@michaelg492]

@@TheSerotonine oh look another American talking about what a "real" BMW should be, thats hysterical. Get over judging a car by wether it had a stick shift or not. You want a stick shift go buy a e53 X5. Get off your high horse and accept the 8 speed goodness of the BMW ZF gearbox

[@325xitgrocgetter]

A friend of mine had a 2011 BMW X5 diesel and the car would shut itself down due to an emissions malfunction. While he liked the car and it did get great fuel economy he replaced it with a Honda Pilot due to reliability concerns. We did use the X5 to drive to the Indy 500 pulling a pop up trailer and it did the job with no fuss and got about 22 mpg. The year prior, we did the same trip in his Dodge Ram with a Cummins diesel and pulling the same trailer got about 24 mpg...go figure.

I helped build about 40,000 of these when I was working at the BMW plant in Greer, South Carolina Edit: I meant that as 40,000 of the F15 and F16 chassis. It was about 6 years ago.

I wanted a x5 growing up thought they looked real nice but as an adult now in his 30s and mr regulars scathing review i might have to rethink my life choices but also Mercedes barabus line peaks my interest in later years

finally back talking about normal cars

[@aceko1]

I'm not an expert, but you shouldn't drive with the "Check Engine" sign on...

[@KickstandOptional]

I was a Budget Bimmer afficionado for a long time and remain convinced that if your check engine light isn't on then you aren't really experiencing all that Bayerische Motoren Werke has to offer.

[@Jakek200]

That's normal for a BMW. A BMW would never get driven if it couldn't be driven without the Check Engine light

[@schnecks2180]

It's a BMW. You get those when someone farts nearby... :-)

[@kylesoler4139]

Sometimes they turn on and then turn off after awhile.

[@rolux4853]

I have two BMW e36 and a BMW G31 and none of them ever flashed their check engine light to me. But I live in Germany and we have crazy strict maintenance laws over here, so the cars are generally in better shape.
