This guy is really succinct and articulate

[@brucekendall52]

Quality video and review,thks.

[@Krmelj]

Really well presented and pieced together video!

[@funkster2050]

I was lucky to have one of these as a hire car for a week and I loved it. Such a beast with a tame side. The sports mode was brilliant and I'm pretty surprised and lucky not to have got any points on my licence. For such a big, heavy car, it really does shift well and sounds awesome. Well recommended.

[@SamGiles]

Fantastic review! Great work BMW 👏🏻

[@lahmyaj]

Nice review. Subscribed ;)

[@shagiraaa]

Fall in love with this car!

[@malcolmscott4150]

Great review of a much improved car - back to X5 being top of class

[@craigfleming4353]

Great review, nice car

[@eddieconroy212]

I parked next to one of those yesterday. Lovely SUV, but huge! Parking will be a nightmare.

[@REMYLEONEL]

Wow ... What was the price again?

[@propagandapanda6571]

The wood isn‘t fake!

[@SevenAteNine182]

“Inside the interior”?

[@andrewlevy9533]

Please explain exactly why you cant fit snow chains? is there is enough room if you buy quality chains?

[@stubones]

Probably have to fit winter tyres to use snow chains... I'm guessing.

[@mc82]

Good video, I like how you contrast your opinion about the car against the likely perspective of the target buyer. It's good to know the cars flaws no matter how subtle, weighed against their significance to the relevant audience.

[@Scotford_Maconochie]

I would lean towards the X5 40i with the I6 petrol engine

[@jackpot4215]

3:50 its not IOS IOS Is specific to Apple only

[@chillout1109]

He said "i" OS, as in iDrive OS, not IOS.

[@ph4tboy]

I fail to see how using the same turbo engine but just adding extra turbos is a good idea. Just adds more pressure to engine internals and reduces reliability. X5 M for me.

[@dillanmamou5511]

Correct💪🏼 that 4.4L V8 is enough and probably much faster than this

[@jsy8513]

역시 BMW

[@johncreedon7847]

The air suspension is far too soft. Springs are the better option

[@kgsva]

Good review, just let this gent know he should use a dictionary when he uses the thesaurus, he's using some words incorrectly. Also it's BMW iDrive.

[@peterandre5465]

I picked up rudimentary. Great review nonetheless

[@nogoodhacker6944]

You're one of the savages around people! World really needs you and your team! That's authentic. And I feel like I'm in a BMW showroom right now Way to go team! 😘😘😘

[@soorma5304]

BMW!

[@mixalis6168]

Wow, oh i wish ! Designers are very good, mercs should be sacked for the tab designed dash @@ Hopefully all reviews will be up to your standard !

[@RasmusandPiper]

get an SQ7 and those bmw rear cramped seats (not to say M50d turbolag!!) are only a forgotten nightmare

[@louisalonso1695]

Get the Audi and get not a good transmission

[@RasmusandPiper]

@@louisalonso1695 the 8 speed tiptronic is used by the Q7, porsche cayenne and urus. I think it's a very good, and reliable, transmission.

[@stickers8447]

Car Advice, take note, this is how to review cars

[@edjohn4590]

Says the guy with the bogan moustache

[@ziyaofang6559]

I hope I can get M50d in Canada. But it looks like BMW always Lack of Attention to the Canadian Market！！

[@JimboJones99]

Looks like a Hyundai Santa Fe from the back

[@cashbonanza963]

3:50 iOS ? WTF???!!!!!

[@edysinsimon8646]

You folks in the rest of the world get these fabulous diesel powerd motors while we in the states are saddled with "only" gas powered motors. I watch these ,"in the rest of the world" car reviews and become miserable/irritated at the lack of proper diesel powered vehicles!

[@Drivecomau]

And we complain we don't get the good petrol engines ;) Thanks for watching!

[@SuperMacmac74]

Apple fanboy alert calling iDrive iOS.

[@chillout1109]

He said "i" OS, as in iDrive OS, not IOS.

[@francopirrello6414]

With all the money you pay you only get a Harmon Kardon no bang & oulfsen

[@jure482]

There is an option for bowers & wilkins diamond surround sound system with 20 speakers including 2 subwoofers, ofc if you have money for it.

[@francopirrello6414]

@@jure482 at the time i didn't know but of course

[@rileyyorke2217]

Typical apple user... EVERYTHING IS IOS WHAT ELSE?!?!
