2007 BMW X5 Review

Introduction

BMW X5 – 2007 Review: At first look, the BMW X5 looks like pretty much any other crossover. When you sit in the driver’s seat, you’re surrounded by a combination of luxury and truckness. You feel the overall heft of the vehicle as you cruise down the street. But something peculiar happens when you take it onto a twisty mountain road: It does not drive anything like a big crossover. The 5 Series underpinnings haven’t been outweighed by the taller cabin and cargo space. Indeed, the X5 has both the power and the handling to make you think sport, not utility.
