2011 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 about 10% overpriced.
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 A similarly equipped Mazda CX-9 was $4,500 less.
2008 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 They should make leases more affordable.
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Higher than FX
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Given current resale values I think the original pricing was too high.
2007 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Expensive
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Can get expensive, but still a good value in the field.
2006 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Cost more than a car, but less than most SUVs.
2004 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6
5-speed automatic AWD		 Comparatively speaking, the incentive from BMW (less $6000) was what did it for me. Acura could not match it.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the BMW X5

Price of the BMW X5: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2010 4dr SUV turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 BMW cost higher than other brand in the same class, except Porsche and Land Rover.
2008 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 It was very hard to find one close to or under invoice. But the vehicle does retain a lot of residual value. I had to do a lot of research to find one at a decent price...but I did!
2007 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 Overpriced relative to USA prices
2006 4dr SUV 315-horsepower 4.4L V8
6-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 I feel that the certified pre owned program from BMW adds much too high a cost to the vehicle. However, wife wanted from dealership, so we had to get from there.
2004 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 These can be pricey.
2002 4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8
5-speed shiftable automatic AWD		 New price is enormous. 50,000+ I paid 15,000
