I was fortunate enough to have the all gas version of this (40e 2024) for a few days from BMW in Canada. I've driven a lot of high end cars in my life and this was one really impressed me. The ride, comfort, cabin space, power and overall driving experience was exceptional. It also got crazy fuel mileage. Drove it for 3 days straight all over the place and returned it with a 1/4 tank. Bravo BMW and nice review max.

I've been saying the same thing about the buttons getting removed. Definitely a step backwards.

[@M3dicayne]

Indeed. It got an illness in the car industry.... Take a look at Lexus. Still perfect. I own an F15 M50d and there you still have the probably easiest to use info- and entertainment system available. Also, you get fined for touching on your smartphone in a solid smartphone holder, but not when touching the touchscreen of a car? Where exactly is the difference? Don't get me wrong, I never use the phone while driving and hate people doing that as they literally endanger everybody else. But it was SO easy with buttons - you knew where they were and touched them. That's it.

[@youvegotgold]

Touch screens do not belong in cars, especially for changing the AC. How did anyone think moving something from 1 button press to 5 would be more efficient? Thankfully the performance is great, love the X5 but the no buttons is a big turn off.

[@Mr_Sentoo]

Having the 530e myself with stage 1 and pushing just under 400 bhp with 660nm. I’m hesitating upgrading to this one due to the lack of boot space in 5 series. These would push easily to 600bhp on stage 1.

[@Tilata]

you're joking right? 530e with stage one has nowhere near 400hp

[@damianolunardon821]

It does if you have the B48B

[@Mr_Sentoo]

@@Tilata I have a german import B48. Its tuned by BR performance in Belgium. I have the onboard power reader and the rolling graph. They are two versions of them where one makes less power and the other makes more which is mine. I checked the vin number before I even bought it from the bmw dealer.

​​@@TilataThe 330e and 530e gets easily somewhere between 400-420hp and 700+nm with stage 1 depending on tuner.

[@M3dicayne]

...this thing HAS 490 bhp, so 10 more hp would certainly be included in BMW's "lower claimed than real hp" attitude.

[@AlixLondon]

great vid - but after having a '23 50e for weekend I'm going to stick with my '21 45e for multiple reasons - the removal of all the physical buttons (after 1000 miles it was a deal breaker) , the removal of the manual battery recharge and hold functions (this is a heavily used feature) along with the removal of the rear seat fold function in boot etc etc... so many bad tactile decisions by BMW (mostly based on cost saving) all while putting up price! So I just had a EU stage 1 remap and now the X5 45e is 500bhp 800Nm

[@benboelens4812]

Battery hold is still an option in my 50e… also the seat do fold?

You missed the biggest upgrade that came with the B58TU2, port injection has been added to supplement that direct injection. Currently with a JB4 Burger tuned a 7 series to 500hp at the wheels with no mods. Bone stock, just a piggyback tune. Pair that with the 200ho from the electric motor and you have more power than the XM lmao

[@zakzwijn8410]

9:10 That's because of the speakers producing low frequencies. That sound is not natural.

[@bobemarius5974]

The 50e is having 313 hp from the b58 and 450nm. Total combined - you are right

[@andreinr1749]

Hi. You ve complained of suspension bouncing with the 45e. Is this still an issue with the facelift? How bad is the "comfort" setting in these new bmw s with airsuspension, compaired with spring suspension? Thanks!

[@DAL-ov7wd]

Not during my experience.

[@flitcroftLA]

I love mine. City driving in electric is virtually silent and comfort rides like a magic carpet much of the time (certain frequencies mess with it on the highway). Part of the appeal is the luxury and tech: ventilated seats, shiatsu massage, LED ambient lights all over and in the moonroof, huge Apple CarPlay, gesture controls, etc. The torque is monstrous too, feels way faster than my E90 M3. Also, seat heater (and armrest and door card) is two taps: once in the middle of the right climate readout at the bottom, once on the heated seat icon. Same for ventilated seats.

[@adamek9750]

Does petrol hybrid make sense compared to diesel in terms of efficiency?

[@maxim473]

probaly not i depends more where you driving, if you drive long ways on autobahns buy a diesel, if you drive mostly through city then a hybrid might be a better option

[@Mr_Sentoo]

It depends if you can charge it at home and how far your commute is.

This car still has 313 ICE hp and 197 e-hp. That is a combined usable hp of 490. I don't know where you got 380 ice hp from as BMW doesn't built any ICE engines with that amount of hp. EDIT: But I totally agree to the missing button situation. I have the F15 M50d and love it. Literally easiest climate and system control ever.

[@benjaminhaagen2267]

@@benjaminhaagen2267 I know. I have an F15 M50d - a 6 cylinder, tri-turbocharged Diesel(!) engine with 381 hp. But Max was pretty certain to say 380 hp.

[@mciejgda88]

@@M3dicayne The B58 G05 X5 in 40i and 50e states 381hp from petrol engine when configuring car... you're thinking of N55 from waaay back of late E70/F15 generations

@@mciejgda88 Certainly not. I am talking about the 2024 X5 50e. It has an 230kW ICE engine and an BEE with "up to" 145kW.

[@mciejgda88]

​@@M3dicayne Okay upon digging more we're both wrong and right at some stuff. B58 in X5 40i does put out 280kW/381hp that's straight from dealers technical data sheet as I am writing this. However B58 in 50e is made to output 313hp from ICE and 197hp from electric motor. So you're right that it does put 313 from ICE in 50e but the 381hp confusion must've come from standard X5 40i

[@solarflare2199]

Looks fantastic , amazing daily 😍 with a ecu remap and a eventuri this engine will do wonders !

[@BlueEyed888]

I have the 2021 X5 45e and would definitely not trade it for this. The switch BMW made to the non-laser headlights and the teeny tiny gear shifter toggle switch are deal breakers, sorry just MHO. Glad I got mine before they changed it.

Just ordered one to Hungary, fully loaded except the bowers and wilkins sound system( super happy with harman kardon...) in grey and 22 black rims. Replacing a 2018 bmw x3 m40i, this is gonna be my first hybrid. One question: the 490 hp is combined power, but I'm wondering what happens when the battery gets low? does it affect performance or do they tweak the electric motor in a way that it always adds to the quoted performance figures to the normal engine power?

Very nice exterior, but the cockpit with the slapped-on super wide screen on stands plus the lack of physical buttons you can press without looking is just hideous. This is not technological evolution in a positive way. BMW should recess the displays so it doesn’t look like an eBay aftermarket gimmick you bought for 10 Euro just to lower your standards to make your friends who bought a Tesla Model 3 look good.

Idk... the carbon plastic trim was nice when i was 15... because it was someone rare, u could call it even unique. But now at 32, i would literally desist from buying a car just because of it, even more if it a heavy luxery vehicle. My rule now is, no piano black and no carbon plastics... light wood on a dark interior, dark wood on a light interior... dont reaaally like aluminum but at least it doesnt feel cheap when its well polished and finished in general.
