I saw the 2007 BMW X5 & it is quite stunning outside...I think they compromised the 2nd row seating by putting in the 3rd row of seats...I have a 2002 X5 which I love but the 2nd row seat is much nicer looking & more comfortable...the seat of the older X5 does not fold flat like the new one & that is why it is a better seat...we also have a 2004 Range Rover & the 2nd seat does not fold flat and that is because it is much bigger and a very comfortable seat. I plan on driving the new X5 in a few days...after driving the older model for 5 years I would like to see the difference...the older model had a lot of road noise on highways but I still loved driving it because it is a very heavy vehicle.

BMW X5 made the attempt..... by rboilard

I have a X5 on order as I write this. But I've been fortunate enough to have access to an 07 3.0 for the last 2 days. Great vehicle.....bigger than my current X5 but yet doesn't feel as snappy off the line. One of the main reasons for the purchase is the third row for the wife and kids to use, since its her car. The third row is pretty much useless for adults and borderline for kids. We have a 6 and 4 year old, and when they sit in the third row they disappear....like sitting in a hole. The can't see us nor can they see out the little side windows. So I also brought home a 07 Mercedes GL450. Nice car....lots more room and the third row is actually functional. Trust me I love BMW's from my 3 series, M3, and X5. Now I may change and go to the dark side....Mercedes seemed to keep family in mind with the GL450. What do other family shoppers think??

If you have a serious need for third row seats, the GL450 would be a lot better choice. I've sat in the third row of a GL450, and it's quite impressive. The way it folds in a very short period of time is especially nice.

I just back from the BMW dearler in Southern California. They have a $8000 market value add to the sticker price for the new 2007 BMW X5. Is this market value negotiable? Or can be waive? Thanks.

You better believe it's negotiable! It's common for dealers to do that when a new model comes out. I don't think you'd have to pay over MSRP once they get a few of them in stock. I wouldn't pay over MSRP (for any car), and have never done so. There's a lot of competition for the X5 out there; they don't really have anything unique, although I have to admit it's an attractive package.

Thanks a lot rcf8000. If this is the case I think i will only pay 93-94% of the MSRP. What do you think?

I doubt that they'd go that low until they've been out for a while, but it's worth a shot.

Never pay over MSRP. As others have said its an attractive package but not unique anymore. I negotiated for my X5 and got $2500 taken off MSRP for one of the first 6 due in to the dealer. But later found that the X5 is still to small for my family....so unfortunately had to cancell my order.

You do not have to order the '07 X5 with third row seats, which appear to be suitable only for toddlers. Unknown whether the area where the seats fold into will be available as an extra compartment for traveling space.
I believe the new X5 has more cargo space than the Q7 and I think the X5 will be better in all facets, if possible, than the previous X5.
X5 also seems to be easier to drive than Q7...and looks a lot better!
