What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the the BMW X5
| Price of the BMW X5: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2010 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | BMW cost higher than other brand in the same class, except Porsche and Land Rover. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | It was very hard to find one close to or under invoice. But the vehicle does retain a lot of residual value. I had to do a lot of research to find one at a decent price...but I did! |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Overpriced relative to USA prices |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 315-horsepower 4.4L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD | I feel that the certified pre owned program from BMW adds much too high a cost to the vehicle. However, wife wanted from dealership, so we had to get from there. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | These can be pricey. |
| 2002 | 4dr SUV 282-horsepower 4.4L V8 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | New price is enormous. 50,000+ I paid 15,000 |

| Price of the Acura MDX: Pros | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Yes, I did until they gave $4K incentive right now |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Good value for a mid-sized luxury SUV |
| Price of the Acura MDX: Cons | ||
| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | A similarly equipped Mazda CX-9 was $4,500 less. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | They should make leases more affordable. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Higher than FX |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Given current resale values I think the original pricing was too high. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD | Expensive |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Can get expensive, but still a good value in the field. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Cost more than a car, but less than most SUVs. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 265-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Comparatively speaking, the incentive from BMW (less $6000) was what did it for me. Acura could not match it. |
| 2003 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD | Price is too high. |

| 2008 | 4dr SUV 260-horsepower 3.0L I6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The overall quality is great. Everything is in place, is well finished, and fits. Also, everything works as advertised. I read a few complaints concerning the iDrive but after an hour or so of instruction, it is easily mastered. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 225-horsepower 3.0L I6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
quality materials. clean exterior lines. clean interior features. |

| 2010 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Consistently high quality, throughout. |
| 2009 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |

Good fit and finish. |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
very good. few fit issues, but nothing worth concern |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
the fit both inside and out is first class. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Just look at it and you will understand. Not a shread of cheapness. |

| 2002 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Nothing ever breaks! Wears like iron. Plan to keep this car until 300K or more miles. At least two people that we told about car have purchased MDXs. |
| 2001 | 4dr SUV 240-horsepower 3.5L V6 5-speed automatic AWD |
Car is 11 years old and near perfect. Only problem I have is outside temperature gauge is not always accurate. |

| Year | Body/Powertrain | Comment |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The fit and finish on this vehicle did/do not meet my expectations. I drove a Lexus RX prior, and the all-around build quality, fit and finish of that vehicle was far superior. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 300-horsepower 3.7L V6 5-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
The interior did not hold up to normal wear and tear. The cargo area was permanently deformed from the weight of a child stroller. The running boards were scratched within the first two weeks of ownership. Interior trim scratched during normal cleaning |
