BMW X5 Suspension Diagnostic & Maintenance Guide (2014-2018 BMW F15 X5 & F16 X6)

►The BMW X5 was never supposed to be an SUV. Instead, BMW called it an SAV or Sports Activity Vehicle. The idea was to create a large family car with the body of an SUV but with the driving characteristics of their sports sedans. That driving dynamic was readily apparent in the original X5 and has shown itself to be a recurring trait in every X5 since. Their on-road poise regularly gets them high marks from independent journalists compared to similar products from Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, and Lexus. The fourth-generation X5 ended its run in 2018, and it now exists as an interesting, capable, and modern choice for a used SUV. If suspension feel is your number one priority, the X5 is going to be difficult to beat.
