One problem related to visibility has been reported for the 2009 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
The headlights on low beam reach out only 3 car lengths. Traveling at 40 mph or more you have inadequate forward visibility, if there is an object or an animal in the road ahead, due to low distance visibility, you have no response time. The tech knowledge on these headlights for up and down and left to right movement are fine if you are going up hill or turning left or right. They have been to BMW service in lubbock and dallas texas. I have had several friends and family drive this vehicle and they experience the same poor visiibility.
