Are you craving a bit more speed in your SUV? BMW's X5 4.6is may be just the fix you're looking for. New Car Test Drive (2003)

2002 BMW X5 4.4i review and price guide. Consumer Guide (2002)
BMW's first SUV comes in V8 4.4i and 6-cyl 3.0i form. The American-built, unibody X5 is sized between the Lexus RX 300 and Mercedes M-Class, but has a smaller interior than either. Edmunds (2002)
Pros: Rides and drives like a BMW sedan, wide range of engine choices, top safety scores, loaded with luxury. Cons: Limited off-road abilities, less interior volume than a cheaper 5 Series wagon. Edmunds (2002)
BMW claims the 4.6 will accelerate to 60 mph from a standstill in less than 6.5 seconds. In comparison, Mercedes claims a 6.4-second time for the ML55 to reach that speed. So straight-line performance between the two is a wash. BMW, however, says that the X5 4.6is "will exceed 149 mph" while the ML55 tops out at 144 mph. Epinions (2002)
See what fellow owners of the 2002 BMW X5 think of their vehicles -- the good and the bad. New Car Test Drive (2002)
BMW's X5 is fast, comfortable, and prestigious. It delivers superb handling and excellent performance. As if its 4.4i wasn't quick enough, BMW has introduced a 347-horsepower 4.6is model. The Car Connection (2002)
In addition to a beefed-up new V-8, the X5 4.6is' transmission and suspension have been thoroughly revised for less compromised sporty pavement driving. Canadian Drive (2001)
Overall handling, braking and quality are superb, but the heavy clutch action and stiff steering aren't. Car Trackers (2001)
The X5 begins with a unitized structure that's innately strong and rigid. It serves as a stable foundation to mount the mechanical devices for power, suspension, steering, brakes and traction control. Consumer Guide (2001)
The American-built, unibody X5 is sized between the Lexus RX 300 and Mercedes M-Class, but has a smaller interior than both. Edmunds (2001)
The optional five-speed automatic transmission with "Sport" and "Steptronic" modes provides a number of tranny options, all of which add greatly to driving enjoyment. Epinions (2001)
See what owners of the 2001 BMW X5 have to say about their vehicle -- the good and the bad. Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2001)
This is not the vehicle you would choose to negotiate boulders or muddy arroyos, or to load up with camping gear for a foray into the deep woods. New Car Test Drive (2001)
It may be the best-handling SUV on the road. It almost feels like an oversized rally car. Muddy trails are easily negotiable, though this isn't what we'd call a highly capable off-road vehicle. And cargo capacity isn't a strong point. The Car Connection (2001)
What sets this 3.0-liter six apart is the eerie smoothness of its inline layout combined with BMW's near-magical VANOS system of variable valve control. Truck World (2001)
4-wheel independently suspended, the X, in X5 stands for excellent riding and handling. USA Today (2001)
