BMW X5

This is the car that reinvented the luxury SUV segment for the modern era. Would the luxury car market look quite like it does today, you wonder, if not for the original BMW X5 of 2000?Two generations later, the X5 is still the practical, dynamic, premium-branded SUV it always was - although it's been a while since it was the class' pick for keen drivers. Strong engines put the car in contention on that front, but a rolling chassis that's too sensitive to optional specification (avoid runflat tyres at all costs) and fails to really involve the driver fails to seal the deal.
