It favors sending most of the engine's torque to the rear wheels, great for handling, but it changes instantly when wheels at one end of the car start to slip. This is a good system for bad weather. You wouldn't know that you're inside an SUV in the BMW X5. Rather, the cabin is appointed and designed like BMW's sedans. Materials are first-rate, and fit and finish are top quality, with controls that work well with minimal slop and maximum precision. This is equal in the benchmark standard to the Lexus, Infiniti and Mercedes SUVs. Our test X5 had the optional Sport Package seats, and our passengers complained of exiting the front seats and hitting the side bolsters. We understand that spirited driving requires coddling the driver in a stationary position, but not many of us sporting drivers can wring out a car with a full load of spectators. In fact, most passengers prefer we drive like grandmas, so we see little benefit to locking in passengers into their chairs as tightly as the driver.
Rear-seat passengers report to us that the cushioning of the rear seats is soft on the road, and very comfortable. The extra length not only adds some cargo ability, but the rear seats are adults sized, we found. A third row of seats is optional, raising capacity to seven people, most of them adults. BMW claims adults up to five-feet, four-inches tall will be comfortable. Visibility is compromised by the thick D-pillars of the longer body, which means you have to slowly exit parking lots, though it doesn't seem a big giveaway in exchange for the trim styling. The surface upholstery feels luxurious, and the perforated seats kept us feeling fresh after a three-hour drive without stops. The optional active driver's seat is like a Sharper Image massaging lounge chair, and it really keeps your back in shape on drives longer than three hours. The climate controls are able to be used separate from the devilish iDrive system, which means you can immediately set them for cooling and heating. When accessed through the iDrive system, you need an instructor and a two-credit college course to master the best use of the system.
