Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X5?
Sport package, panorama roof, endless power and road grip. dual chrome exhaust.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X5?
Second row is a bit too firm and flat. Just little more of cargo room if not influencing on driving pleasure.
2006 BMW X5 Review:
4.4 with sports package and 19" wheels, it looks aggressive and really is. It can drive silky smooth, pass effortless in any speed, and stop on a dime. 3.0 is a bit lag from start, but 4.4 is really fast and fast. Cargo space is a bit tight, but who cares that in this driving machine. It drives like a sport sedan. Minimum body lean on curve. Panorama moon roof is fresh. Overall mileage is about 20miles/gallon which is not that bad at all. I'm excited every morning when I sit on it. How many cars can give you this sort of excitement?

2006 BMW X5 Review:
It was hard to switch over to the BMW X5 4.4i for the Volvo XC90, but within hours I was in love with this vehicle. It's like driving a cloud. The weather in New England has been rough this fall and this SUV handles like a dream. Thank you.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 BMW X5?
Front seat comfort is exemplary - no feeling of fatigue at the end of an all day ride. The manual transmission is great fun and the handling is superb. The overall fit and finish - especially the interior - is impeccable. The interior design is outstanding.
Cons: How would you improve 2006 BMW X5?
Two very, very minor items - It would be nice to have illumination of the button that folds the side mirrors and the dashboard knob that controls delivery of cool and warm air. Both of these are hard to see at night or in other dark conditions.
2006 BMW X5 Review:
I've had the car for 6 months and like it more each time I drive it. The seat comfort, handling, shifting and ride are superb. On long rides the seats allow you to arrive refreshed rather than tired. The car handles solidly at high speeds and corners nimbly without roll. The 6 speed is super smooth and quick. The highway ride is like floating on a cloud.
