2016 BMW X5 eDrive consumer reviews

I read the reviews here prior to purchasing over a year ago, and now that I've had 30k miles to reflect back on this purchase (78k total), I think the lack of reviews seems to be pretty indicative of what ownership is like. Zero reliability problems, maintence has been cheaper than my 15' Tahoe (awful car, btw), and I've become numb to the ease of ownership because I've found nothing major to complain about with it.. and trust me, I tried. I average 35-40 mpg on a 50 mile round trip commute and I charge at night. I don't even notice when the engine kicks on (I have to look at the tachometer to know unless I'm gunning it), but when it is on, this thing is a little rocket. I wasn't quite ready for a full EV and this has far exceeded my expectations for bridging that gap, so much so that I drove a 2018 X5 35i and it felt like I went back to the stone age. Only minor complains: Cabin so insanely quiet I hear little crackles in the interior when I smack potholes, infotainment is complex (every BMW has this issue), and I can only get 18ish miles out of pure EV mode. The fact there are hardly any bad reviews of this car on here (aside your typical Karens) just tells me that owners, like myself, have nothing we need to shout from the rooftops to forewarn about. I've recommended this car to friends and family, I'd buy another one, and I concede that there's always the possibility something eventually could go wrong.. it's a car after all. Do your maintenance kiddos

This car is all that. It has the latest technology, a superb drive,, an outstanding interior and style that's above the rest. The BMW is in a class by it self

Great car so far, only had it for a week though. Smooth ride and beautiful. Great pickup speed too. I am usually a Volvo lover all the way so we shall see how this goes. I have heard great things about this car.

This car does not get warm in the winter. It blows cold air when on electric drive and it takes the engine 20 + minutes to warm the cabin when the gas motor is on. Do not purchase this car if you live in a northern climate, you will freeze.

The X5 has surpassed all my expectations and we love it. The styling and performance are incredible. BMW makes a fantastic luxury vehicles and I’m supper happy.

Unfortunately we have experienced engine failure at 51,900 miles on our X5 edrive. The dealer is only offering us 60% of the cost of a rebuilt engine. We still have a $9,300 bill on a car we have owned for 41 months.

Both my wife and my daughter drive X5s and both love the car. One's a 2012 and one's a 2016 and both more than suit their needs. Very reliable and stylish as well. Both keepers for sure.

Very well designed and comfortable ride as well as luxurious interior , plenty of leg space and big windows and sunroof, perfect for a family road trip.

It’s PERFECTION! It a very smooth ride and handles effortlessly. I’m spoiled for life. It’s such a pleasure to drive. I now like drive. It’s such a spacious vehicle inside even the passengers love the space.

I just purchased my 5th X5 since 2004, this, new and updated version of the BMW X5 is sleeker, faster, hugs the road and is wonderfully comfortable. Gas mileage has improved to 20mph - really a superb vehicle all around.
