Used BMW X5 (2007 - 2013) Safety & Reliability Review by David Ross on 05 Mar 2007 Last Updated: 16 Oct 2012 4.5 The BMW X5 can claim to have begun the trend towards large 4x4s that were meant for road use rather than frequent forays into the wilderness. And the new model launched in 2007 improves that formula further - it's more spacious, economical and quicker than before, plus it's better to drive too.
