BMW X5 review – big bruiser is an oasis of calm

The BMW X5 is a car that exposes my terrible hypocrisy. If someone asked me if they should buy one I would immediately tell them to buy a 5 Series estate instead yet every day I had it on test I looked forward to climbing up into the X5, sinking into its sumptuous seats and generally lording it over everybody else.

During my time with the X5 I was forced to venture hundreds of miles from home in the name of “essential training”. The half a day of brainstorming and postivity left me ready to commit murder but the X5 soothed the stress of that and the rush-hour M6 away in an instant.
