"Excellent all around driving machine!"
Pros: styling, handling, interior,gadgets, BMW service, space, performance
Cons: Idrive can be less complex, size is a tad long for my taste. Backup camera does not work well.
Summary: I have owned my 2007 BMW X5 3.0si, with Premium, Cold Weather, Technology, and heated rear seats package for about two and a half months now, and I have been very happy with it.
I'm very happy, overall.
Some things that are good:
A real trunk, with a non-fussy cover! Yay!
Amazing lighting system. (bi-xenons, LED Tails, cornering lights)
Good standard audio system
wonderful driving experience
quieter and more refined
cool glovebox
nice pano roof
rear and front parking sensors
IDrive is good on Bluetooth and Radio.
Oh, and TiAg looks stunning! IMO
Things that I'm not crazy over:
Electronic Parking Brake is annoying. I like the reassurance of a manual lever.
Push Button Start take a few steps. I know there is Comfort access, but for 1k, no thanks.
IDrive for Climate and Nav takes getting used to.
Voice Control can recognize numbers, but not address book entries.
Back Up Camera displays colors completly wrong.
I wish there was a slot for the iPod Cable from the center console.
No sunglasses holder
Everything else is great!
I would highly recommend the 2007 BMW X5 3.0si for any premium SUV shopper.

I've had mine about a month. It is awesome. The iDrive and technology features are much better than I expected.
One correction to jbr's comments: the voice commands can dial address book entries by name (use "Call Joe Blow" instead of "Dial").
