2023 BMW X5 // Anything NEW for this HANDSOME Midsize Luxury SUV??

[@aussie8114]

I prefer this dashboard to the new refresh one with a long screen.

[@hellkitty1014]

I have my issues with BMW, but I have to give them kudos for not bending to the pressure of making a 4cyl standard in their midsize SUV(looking at you MB, Audi, Cadillac, Genesis, etc). The B58 I-6 is a beast of an engine and very efficient at the same time, plus being a straight 6, it continues to lead the class on engine smoothness and NVH. While I know it will eventually get the monstrosity of a nose that is applied to the 4-Series/X7/7-Series, this 2023 seems to be peak X5. It retains the physical interior controls as well. It would be at the top of my list if I were shopping this class.

[@UhOhUmm]

What are you talking about, Audi and Mercedes both have 6 cylinders in Q7/Q8 and GLE. They just give you a cheaper option, since no one really needs 300 hp in a family car.

[@hellkitty1014]

@@UhOhUmm umm...they do not START out with a 6cyl, as does BMW(and Acura).

[@jasperli]

⁠@@hellkitty1014 if you mean BASELINE model, BMW also offers the X5 Xdrive30i which comes with an 2L i4 engine. Like the other guy said, Audi & Mercedes offer lower powered models but, like BMW, the standard one they push is the detuned i6 engine model.

This is indeed my dream car, forget Lexus and Acura reliability, the x5 in particular has fared well on consumer reports

[@joskjj3625]

BMW and pretty much any other German automaker are actually very reliable if you can afford to properly maintain them, whenever someone says they’re “unreliable” it’s mostly because they couldn’t afford the maintenance in the first place

[@rayn.2688]

“Forget lexus and acura reliability” standards so low i cant even imagine

[@joskjj3625]

@@rayn.2688 i mean don’t get me wrong Lexus is still a very reliable automaker and there maintenance costs are best bang for the buck when compared to other automaker’s, Acura on the other hand I wouldn’t even consider luxury, plus unlike Toyota and Lexus who still focus on quality and reliability Honda and Acura quality and reliability has tanked and when I mean tanked I don’t mean by a little I mean by a lot, Honda and Acura aren’t the same brands they once were 20 years ago, they started resting on their laurels and quality is just abysmal,they rival Nissan and Mitsubishi now in terms of quality. My advice if you want a luxury brand and you can easily afford the proper maintenance get a bmw or a Mercedes, if you can’t afford bmw and Mercedes maintenance cost don’t bother buying one and stick to a Lexus, a Lexus you get same stellar reliability but without paying the Same price as a Mercedes maintenance wise

[@AUav8r05]

Not exactly an apples to apples comparison , but how do you stack this vs the x3m40i with the b58? Id like to see how the new 24’ bmw x5 stacks up as well now that it has the b58 too.

[@alexpark8515]

X5 vs x3 m40i? Which would you buy?

Not having it " refreshed interior "makes it a best choice BMW has made. Buy it up people, before they ruine it..

[@jackyl.pattersonjr.leading6944]

he G05 looks big and bulky on the outside. I am 6ft tall. I was so disappointed. I am a BMW enthusiast. The driver seat was tight in the G05 and I could not get into the back seat. When I adjusted the driver seat to get in my knees were into the driver back. I barely got in. I felt like my giant. I was shocked I thought I was in a 3 series. The F15 has more room than the G05 platform. Everything on the G05 looks great, but those tail lamps in the rear. Bring back the L shaped tail lamps BMW tradition.

The split tailgate is a deal breaker for me. I don't want to have to stretch to get something out of the back. Also, if it's raining, you don't have any cover.

[@TheMarcMingoiaTeam]

The bottom of the split tailgate only drops down if you want it to, totally programmable. It’s an amazing positive to have a tailgate bench to sit on if you want, and it also keeps anything from falling out when opening top hatch only. I’ve own a 2022 X5 for 5 months and LOVE this feature!

Nice midsize SUV, but it doesn't hold a candle against the 23 RR Sport. I am not a RR fan by any means, as I own a 21 LX570 Sport, and 15 RCF, but I have no shame to admit that I am in love with the design of the new RRs (both classic and Sport). I love tge Lexus LX, but the interior although first rate lacks tech and at $107k was not worth the cash. Range Rover has a slightly higher MSRP than the X5 but RR offers features that one can only dream of at the price point. Can't wait for my Dynamic SE in Giola Green to get built. From what I hear 3.0 i6 is not too bad of an engine and should last me 30-40k I drive in two years.....😂

[@dgdave2673]

Whatever you are smoking, keep smoking, RRSport better than this, lol 😂, A regular X5 smokes a RR Sport and leaves that $h!t in the dust.

Y’all people usually have longer legs lol so leg room is still crap compared to Audi and Mercedes. The fact they don’t use real leather is trash considering the price . Leatherette is not something I want to hear at that price range no matter the quality of the material . I don’t care if it’s premium grade Pokémon skin. All that gloss wood is hideous and will scratch and look dusty all the time . Those are Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit equivalent vehicles and Jeep might actually be better lol .

[@bingohhhhhhhhhhhh]

I got this actual car and M Sport with the dark graphite metallic, so body color finishes throughout. I really like the car but man - oh man - what the hell are they thinking with that 5 inch of gappage in the wheel wells. I'm having to get lowering springs just to look at the car from a distance, and they will only bring it down about 1.5 inches at best. I think the other causative factor is the ultra low profile tire / wheel combo on these cars. I think they went too far with it. It's an SUV and that combo also makes the car ride worse, especially with the run-flats, which I'm also in the process of switching over to traditional tires. I've probably had one flat in 50 years of driving and literally years of driving on run-flats is not worth that convenience.
