I love this car. This is my daily driver and drive it does. Spacious, but not too large, sporty, but not crazy (like the cayenne), the X5 really takes to heart the concept of being a sport activity vehicle.

The 2007 X5 comes in two powerplants: 3.0 and 4.8. I would recommend the 3.0 since just how fast do you really need to go with an X5 (and don't ask me how fast I go...I have my valentine 1 in this car)

Some nice features that come with the vehicle:

Panoramic moonroof - This rooftop will blow your mind away. It's like having an wide open view of the sky at night, absolutely wonderful and really a beautiful feature
Sports Package - I highly recommend this for those drivers that want the ultimate driving machine/experience. Tightens the suspension just enough to improve road feel and grip
Cold Weather Package - There's nothing like heated seats to warm you up on those cold nights
Premium Package - Nevada leather, power everything, completes the package

The 2007 model has grown in size and includes a third roll of seats that folds up out of the trunk.

I really love this vehicle because it's an all around great car. Great to drive, great to sit in (front AND back, which is rare), good trunk space, handles well for a big car, and looks great from the outside.

And I completely forgot: free service/maintenance the first four years or 50,000 miles. How can you beat that?

Who wouldn't recommend this beautiful peice of machinery. German precision people! BMW, class act all the way. Who cares about gas prices, while driving this machine, you'll look and feel good.
