The Car Exam – Quick Quiz #2: 2010 BMW X5



The Car Exam – Quick Quiz #2: 2010 BMW X5

Good Grades: Good exterior styling, seemed to handle decently, “sort of neat” push- button transmission.

Bad Grades: “Sort of weird” push-button transmission, overweight, terribly underpowered 260 hp 3.0 liter six-cylinder engine, mediocre ride quality, low-rent interior for a $50,000 CUV, lousy I-Drive system, lousy-sounding stereo system, entry in and exit out of the X5 is a pain in the backside!

Final Grade: I don’t care if it is a BMW, I didn’t enjoy the driving experience at all. I expected everything about the X5 to be better than it was—and it wasn’t.

The Car Exam Grade: C-
