What is funny is that people will spend a lot of money in car audio but not in home audio and the home audio will be around a lot longer.

[@gerhardlamprecht1098]

I can listen to music in my car with $4500 Bowers & Wilkens an hour or more every day at a volume level that makes sense, and feel the base under my seat, with the surround sound, roof mounted speakers and acoustic windows. At home, my wife wont listen to music as loud as I do, and even the neighbors wont appreciate music that is not background music. So if you pay much for home audio, you must live far enough from others so you can use it right, and how often does that happen. Besides that I purchased vehicle used, so technically did not pay the $4500 :-)

[@noel5141]

Love my bowers and wilkins 800 series for my home theater

[@tekhed9346]

Audience plays a role in the decision. In my car, my music, my volume. At home, forced to go IEM (Empire Ears) & SP3000 AK.

[@spaztekwarrior]

To me it’s the other way around.

[@27kwanchi]

Everything expires eventually. There’s nothing more annoying than an old home system.

This SUV is a beast!

[@703Speed]

Definitely!

[@777triathlete]

This one is missing SO many great options: 1 - executive package, 2 - massaging seats, 3 - B&W stereo, 4 - extended merino leather, 5 - driving assistance pro package and 6 - adaptive M suspension professional. I got all of those on mine and REALLY wish I'd gotten the alcantara headliner as well. I went with black sapphire metallic and these very same wheels. It's GORGEOUS.

[@703Speed]

Those features would definitely be nice - but they definitely come at a cost haha. The B&W stereo would be a must for me!

[@naurnah98]

Congrats man that’s a sick config.

[@777triathlete]

@@naurnah98 Thanks, dude!

[@PJCelis]

A man of taste. Agree, luxury vehicles need to be specced up properly. Plastic on the dashboard especially (if no extended leather) is ridiculous.

Yep too much touch screens all these cars now. Fee like I’m driving a computer. I want a real car with real instruments.

[@abdullahmunir9222]

Comfort wise how does it compare to an x5 40i or 50e? Is it a huge difference or a marginal difference. Torn between getting a performance SUV but don’t wanna sacrifice on daily comfort as I am looking at a 50 miles daily commute.

[@703Speed]

Same comfort. These seats are like sitting on a cloud. Some of the most comfortable seats I’ve sat in. The only thing I’d say about this car and your commute is to be ready to pay for gas lol. But if most of that is highway, this thing is actually pretty economical - and VERY fun to drive!

[@abdullahmunir9222]

@@703Speed That is awesome man! Thank you very much for such an informative review!!

[@ryanflores2281]

Get the 50e, that is a relatively long commute. You will be paying for a lot of gas with the M60.

[@manofsesame3024]

@@ryanflores2281 M40i is better than 50e.

[@quitoyume100]

My question is; As the driver in the driving position, does it feel as spacious as the X7 ? Or maybe the front seat compartments are different sizes?

[@703Speed]

I would say when it comes to the front seating area (at least for me) it feels just as spacious as the X7. I feel the room is gained in the second/third row positions with the X7. If you don't NEED 3 rows, the X5 is the way to go..

[@lukiw7044]

My friend has 2022 X5 M50d with 3.0 quad turbo diesel engine (400HP). I drove it twice and I can say for a diesel it's unimaginable quick. Great review as always. Greetings

A family friend had an X5 with the diesel years ago and it was very quick!

[@senoow4215]

What as the fuel consumption?

I'm glad you liked the vid! Congrats on your order - I hope you get it soon!

[@michaelgrow8630]

Thanks. Peace bro.

[@shanebagnall1979]

Such a shame this X5 M60 doesn’t sound similar to the Mercedes GLE 63. This X5 deserves to growl like a V8, not the muffled noise coming from this exhaust. This particular colour scheme should have been optioned with the Gloss Black wheels, definitely not what’s on this X5. I’m also surprised that this X5 hasn’t got the shaved or flush door handles like the new X1 has. Would look far better having these old style handles eliminated altogether. But in saying all that, I would love to own an X5 M60!

[@scooter5940]

I have the six and I think it sounds better in sport mode than the 8. My car is dark blue, blacked out including the wheels. I am always surprised how many of these I see driving around with the M Sport Pro (all blacked out) that still have shiny aluminum wheels. To me that just seems out of place. Having said that, at least in 2024 you had to go with a 22 inch wheel to get the black, and not everyone wants that ride.

[@rleon8339]

Great review.... but "anyways" is not a word :-)

[@grogginess]

20” rims for practicality… I’m ordering my M60i next week and will try and get 20s on mine

[@703Speed]

I understand your point 100%, but the 22's fill the wheel well better and just fit the overall style of the M60 a bit better

[@z7vyn573]

I think you have to have a subscription to the app to remote start the car

[@703Speed]

Ugh

[@davidstevenson2188]

I have a 2022 X5. Remote start option is placed in a weird spot. You have to go to climate menu --> settings --> preconditioning --> click on remote start

[@ryanflores2281]

Remote start is a triple tap of the door lock button on the fob, same sequence to turn off remote start.

[@davidstevenson2188]

@ryanflores2281 agreed but in my 2022 X5, I had to turn on/activate remote start in my settings first before it would work.

[@skypiratez]

Physical climate controls are preferable...

[@rajo125]

I have 21" with mine, and it is a good compromise and with skyscraper grey it creates a great combo.

[@703Speed]

Ooo I bet that looks sick

[@ryanflores2281]

Pro tip: with skyscraper gray you can PPF the whole car with matte film and have frozen gray!

[@Marc-nc9yv]

I own a 2024 X5 M60i and my wife has the 2022 X5 M50i. The 50 sounded much better with more "pop pops". They both are fast, the 60 does have the sprint mode, if you pull both shift levers at same time it opens sprint mode and 40 more bhp for 10 seconds from the battery. Its great road trip car but he 50 is good as well. I hate the lack of buttons for things like heated seats and wheel. The tech is better in the 60 for sure. Good car but dont love it. I came out of a supercharged RRS and the RRS sounds better and is better off road. BMW probably more reliable. Will probable go to lexus GX550 next year as I still have a G80 BMW M4 comp as a fun car.

[@703Speed]

Ive heard this from multiple owners now.. The Supercharged 5.0 Range is such a good suv. Sounds so good, is so fast, and looks sweet. This is a little different, maybe more refined? How do you like the G80?

[@Marc-nc9yv]

The G80 M4 is the best car I’ve had. Better than last three M3 and 991.2 911 gts @@703Speed

[@manofsesame3024]

There is heated steering wheel button on the steering wheel.

[@AviationDirection]

Thanks for that in-depth review. Test drove this last week and it was great, but as you said, what pain to adjust the climate controls! Took me forever to lower the fan speed while driving.

[@diyabailey1060]

I like the buttons

[@brianbarbe9646]

I absolutely hate the industry wide movement to screens for controlling climate and entertainment. I always chalked my aversion to it as a result of being, well, somewhat old. Nice to hear a young guy making the same complaint. Maybe the manufacturers will listen. BMW's used to have classy interiors. Even the beautiful Porsche and Audi interiors have been ruined by screens.

[@gr16332]

Don’t like the digital climate control

[@صديقالوقت-ظ4ق]

I have x5 40i 2024 How much they have this one for?

[@703Speed]

About $95k

[@jameswatkins1671]

Upgrade sound system

[@ryanflores2281]

I think the engine noise and burbles you are hearing in the cabin are actually artificially pumped in via the sound system. The big complaint of the M60 over the M50 is the lack of an aggressive V8 sound. Easily fixed with an aftermarket exhaust/resonator delete.

[@703Speed]

What changed from the M50 to the M60 that made it quieter?

[@ryanflores2281]

@@703Speed probably the cats, resonator and muffler used. It’s a Euro/US emissions thing. The M50 stock is much louder than the M60. The advantage to the M60 is that in theory a lot more stuff from the X5M should be compatible to the M60 because they share the same engine, fingers crossed.

[@703Speed]

@@ryanflores2281 sounds like it would be pretty easy to make it an X5 M, but more comfy

[@davidward7998]

So far no one has made one of these sound good. its not something an exhaust can fix.

[@ryanflores2281]

@@davidward7998 it most definitely is, nobody has either wanted to pay $5k for a cat back or has not uploaded what it sounds like. Out of curiosity why do you think it cannot be “fixed”? It’s a V8 TT after all.

[@jameswatkins1671]

“22”

[@gregorytrane7828]

Excellent review. .

[@bcfrombu]

Wonder how you would compare this to the Porsche Cayenne S? The 2024 CS prices out around $135-140K with the requisite options. So the M60i is about $30K less. I love my 2022 Porsche Cayenne now but miss some of the creatures comforts. So might jump out to the S or go this route, with the M60i.

[@703Speed]

Shoot, for the 135k price tag, might as well get the X5M Comp. But if you want to save $30k, the x5 m60 is a great option. Def worth a look

[@manofsesame3024]

The margin between M40i and M60i worth 15k? The X5 M40i already out accelerates 95% of all cars (SUVs and sedans) on the road. Only other BMWs, Porsches and those super sport cars can out accelerate a X5 40i. Plus BMW in-line 6 B58 cost a lot less in maintenance than the V8.

[@me2-21]

I own an X5 M50i and M550i, and was hesitant to buy a V8 as well. But ended up with 2 of them and don't regret so far. It's not just about being quicker than others - it is about feelings you get: acceleration is not just fast - it is violent, it sounds better, and it's great to know that you have more for any situation. For me the deal breaker to try V8 was the lack of certain options for B58. On a good note, I was able to get big discounts, which weren't available for models with B58. So with extra options you get the price difference wasn't that big.

[@RTPTechGuy]

Responding to your comments about climate control in the screen (vs physical controls). I feel like we have been down this road before. Remember back in the early to mid 2010s when Ford was really pushing capacitive buttons for climate control and audio control? I think Honda did it too…and maybe others. It didn’t work and they went back to physical buttons. Now they are making similar mistakes again. I think in 5 years, this trend will once again subside.

[@703Speed]

Exactly lol..

[@onmyshyt247]

One other difference I notice no one mentions is with the M competition trim you get an actual gear shifter. That’s my biggest gripe about the whole thing. Your review was awesome. Great job man.

[@davidbianconi1272]

Regarding the climate controls, I completely agree with you about having physical climate control buttons. I currently own a 750ix. Every time I adjust the temperature, for the next 4-5 seconds, the screen then prompts a message that tells me I just adjusted the temperature. This causes the map to disappear, which has caused me to mis my exit several times. I am not so stupid to not be aware that if I change the temperature, the temperature will change! Talk about over engineering!!!!

[@703Speed]

Supposedly BMW wants you to speak your controls. So instead of pushing buttons, they want you to push the microphone button and tell the car to turn the driver temperature to 68 degrees for example. Not sure I’m a fan of that, but it seems like it would make things easier? Idk, I haven’t used one daily so I’m not sure

[@gerhardlamprecht1098]

Nice video, but reviewing a fully equipped vehicle will even be better. Most people will spend $90k on a car for the driving pleasure, but not $95k to make it twice as good. For example the B&W audio takes you to another level. Its no longer a fast car, its a fast concert, and the bass under the seats are amazing. If you take the 2 axle suspension, it becomes a transformer. If you put the car in Sport+ mode, it lowers by 4 cm, first the front then the rear - this is so cool, but it makes a huge difference in the riding especially if you have 22" wheels. Ride is soft, but in Sport+ its a sports car. The massaging seats are actually very good for long rides and the ventilated seats, and so on. I know its not just about features, but this car is about features, power, driving experience and if you leave out the features you kind of miss how good it really is...

[@703Speed]

I completely agree with you. If you’re spending this much money, go all out… 100% agree this cars needs the B&W sound system. Would love to review a loaded one of these. Maybe the opportunity will present itself soon.. Hopefully

[@richardsimms251]

[@victoreyo7387]

Great review, very detailed. I don’t believe you talked about the mild electric mode of this vehicle.

[@scooter5940]

It’s not really a mode. The mild hybrid manages the start/stop function way better (smoother), helps the car with a tiny bit of power in certain situations, and powers the accessories for 30 seconds or so when stopped.
