2001 BMW X5 SUV 4.4i AWD 4dr SUV (4.4L 8cyl 5A)
BMW X5 4.4
 The 2001 BMW X5 supports BMW's mantra 
of performance.  My vehicle performs 
as well as some sports cars (4.4 & 
sports package required) and provides 
excellent acceleration.  I am 
disappointed in the vehicle 
quality (radiator crack) along with 
numerous computer/electronic failures 
(engine, transmission, fuel gauge, CD 
player,etc)  requiring unnecessary 
trips to the local dealer.  
 In the three years of leasing the 
vehicle, I have had the vehicle towed 
three times (all between 15K - 28K 
miles).  My expectation for a $60,000 
vehicle are much higher than a $30K 
vehicle and will purchase a Lexus or 
Infiti vehicle next.
