The good: The 2012 BMW X5 xDrive35i integrates with Google local search and social-networking apps. The navigation system shows very rich detail in its maps. Its all-wheel-drive system adds various road-holding technologies to aid handling, such as corner braking and BMW's own version of torque vectoring.
The bad: Fuel economy is only average, primarily due to the X5's heavy curb weight. Some aspects of the onscreen interface remain confusing.

Cons: Everything. In the shop more than once/month. Many issues dealer couldn't seem to fix, lots of expensive accessories that break, gadgets that don't work right.
Summary: Stay away. Drop your ego and buy a car that is more practical.

Cons: Horrible reliability, service, car is rough/bumpy. My GPS broke took 3 months to get the part from Germany. the A/c broke,s.. stupid. Now the car doesn't even start and its 3 years old! Not even the dealer knows whats wrong with it, its leased!
Pros: Very nice, as CNET noted. Best technology .... I'm not sure.
Cons: X5 handling is good for SAV, but not the best handling of the luxury SUV/SAV's. Audi Q5 and Porsche Cayenne are comparatively superior, IMO.

Summary: I've owned 7 new BMW's, 3 new Audis, and currently have a Porsche Cayenne Diesel on order. Biding my time reading thru the free Porche-provided iPhone/iPad App ("Introduction to Porsche Cayenne"), and the Cayenne technology in 2012 models is way beyond anything I've previously owned (to be fair, "technology marches on" and I haven't driven the lastest BMW X5 to compare technology, but I did drive one before I decided on my Audi Q5; X5 handling too lacking for my tastes.
Bottom Line:The 2012 BMW X5 xDrive35i emphasizes onroad handling in the most high-tech SUV available, although it hasn't conquered the curse of mediocre SUV fuel economy.
