BMW's X5 isn't exactly a spring chicken, but BMW has done an excellent job of keeping their mid-sized SUV up to date with constant changes, new engines, improved plug in hybrids and more options, gadgets, and gizmos available than most of the competition put together. To demo what the X5 has to offer, BMW sent me a fire-breathing X5M for the week, and, well, MMMMM.

We have a town home-sized garage and ironically because our X5 has the split tailgate it's one of the few SUVs that allows us to open the tailgate while the garage is down. Plus the split tailgate is just more practical

Just picked up a 24 40i. What a great vehicle. The lack of buttons doesn’t bother me. ID8.5 is easy to navigate and I prefer the wheel to touching the actual screen but it’s easy enough to reach. Not a fan of run flat tires. Will likely replace with non-RFT and put a spare in. MPG is incredible on the highway getting 31-33mpg at 75mph. Drive Assist Pro is phenomenal. Coming from an RDX this is a really nice upgrade. Comfortable and very quiet. I wanted a BMW ICE before they go all EV.

PHENOMENAL. I’m replacing a Plaid with FSD. I was like “Does Tesla not test these? THIS is what we want!” I thought I’d NEVER take my hands off a car’s wheel after driving 3 Tesla models 30-50k the past 4 years. I let my 50e drive hands-off probably 3k of the 6k miles it has accumulated the past 7 weeks (I drive a lot). And I never thought I’d let a car park, as I’m a great driver and am quicker. But it’s so quick, natural, and easy that I say “Why not? I paid for it” 😂 And I need Tesla to see what Summon SHOULD do. Summon should let me get out and pull the car into a spot. It should remember how to back into my garage around the trash can when it’s at the edge of the driveway. It should take me through the Chick Fil A drive-through 😂. Yes people, the car does that! It’s PHENOMENAL. If I want it out of the garage as I lower the bikes…Yup. Summon would go “Eh, we’re too close to the garage divider” BMW says “Whelp, you said this was the way and you should be watching” 😂 But it’s highly useable. I can make the BMW move to another side of the driveway so I can put another car in the garage. It’s PHENOMENAL!

@@Pollo333040i is perfect for most. But I like beating the Model Y P on the interstate merge after the carpool drop 😂 Had an Explorer ST hanging with me after traffic opened up while driving my 2017 540i a few months ago and thought “My 50e will surely shut down the hope they have right now.” Was also thinking “I should’ve driven the Plaid today”. That darn Explorer was barely being dropped by much higher speeds, and we did it like 3 times!” Almost bought a BM3 that day to flash it 😂. In short: some of us struggle with humility and thus need a 50e or M60i. Cheaper to work on the character flaw though. The 50e is my attempt to be humble after a Plaid. 😂 I’m trying! I finally got behind the parent with the GLS63 last week but I was in my wife’s Telluride. I was happy to see that the woman actually “drives” it. Heard her exhaust in front of me as she accelerated onto the interstate! So sweet. I figured they would drive it as it’s a base GLS63. Or at least it looks very basic. Ugly wheels. Only real drivers would buy a non-flashy one of those.

These are for people who work extremely hard and make a lot of money. The secret is to stick with the B58 6 cylinder in the base model. Toyota approved of that drivetrain.

I like that the X5 has the cornering LED light function, the optional Bowers & Wilkins Diamond audio, the panoramic roof with LED lights, LED lights in all 4 door handles and Digital Key. Mercedes needs to step it up with the GLE and bring back the High-End Burmester Audio System, implement Digital Key and unlock the FULL function of the Multi-Beam LED headlights.... and upgrade those basic brakes on the AMG GLE 53.

Honestly a Model X makes so much more sense than both of these SUVs. Even the base model would probably match a X5M in the 1/4 mile and trap speed. Teslas easily have some of the best audio system (even though they get a license to brand their system). Also has some great headlights and even better cornering lights because it has 3 stages to them. I believe the brakes are decent but I don't remember what upgrade they did recently after the Plaid brakes fiasco.

Yes; it's easy to see how these luxury cars get totaled out so fast. I have a similar story: I bought a new 2016 3 Series and took it in to get a clear bra installed. Well, the installer cut the clearbra on the headlights, and damaged the headlight housings. The LED headlight housings were $2K EACH -- for just the housings. And there's another $1-2K of modules attached to each housing as well, which of course were not damaged in this case, since there was no impact. But the body shop estimate was $5K with labor, just to replace two headlight housings - which the installer's insurance payed out to me. Imagine how high the bill would be if all the modules got smashed up in an accident, with other front end components.

And it's a shame, because the redesign isn't bad by any stretch, although I think it peaked with the last iteration, but the lack of longevity and safe usability keeps me away, and will keep many away from this newest model. And that's a shame, especially with the improvements to the PHEV. Great and thorough review as always, though.

Huge seller as with Lexus. Cadillac and Lincoln et al (Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Genesis, Infiniti) all have a lot to learn still but both have left openings both with interface between driver and machine and in something more directed at the US consumer for example towing capability. Verdict: Just the X equals 0 remarkably

At first I very disappointed with my X5 for the cost vs luxury. But after owning for a year I say it worthy. The magic is in it gear box, engine and its technology (engine maps and performance). It very safe and fast. Very enjoy to drive. To me, it the best car for every day city driving (with or without kids), but not for long distance trips.

An M60i makes a lot more sense for 90K starting and probably 100K well equipped. It has the same amount of torque, just less HP and overall less aggressive but still quite sporty SUV. I dont really undersrabd where the 40K upgrade to the full M model goes. From the exterior they also appear kinda similar.

Consumer reports just ranked BMW as the number one brand in their latest report card - which includes reliability. They've come along way. I bought a 2016 3 Series brand new and owned it for 7 years -- it was the most reliable car I've ever owned, including new Hondas and new Mazdas.

The X5 looks great even the basic model. Maybe a bit overpriced, unfortunately when you buy a car like this, ownership experience may be expensive or higher than average car due to expensive oarts and repairs. Probably best leasing, i keep my cars for at least 15 years. In terms of gas consumption, will definitely would not use it for everyday driving. If i bought one, it be a vacation cruiser..

Unless you're dishing out $130+k in cash imagine the monthly payment 😮 and credit needed to obtain one of these beauties. It seems these auto review channels always show the top of the line model rather then the average model sold of that vehicle. The affluent are not the only one's who watch these vidoes yet I get the sense these auto manufacturers don't care and are trying to market to that type of buyer rather then the average one 🤙🏽🇺🇲

Not exactly; you will find several reviews of the 40i, the M60i, and the 50e, on KZbin and elsewhere. But I agree the reviews on the $140k+ M comp are not terribly useful. I have the 2024 X40i highly optioned at about $88k, and it’s awesome.

I bought a new 3 Series in 2016 and owned it for 7 years. It was the most reliable vehicle I ever owned, even beating my new Honda and new Mazda. But most importantly, BMW isn't really about status, IMO. I mean, yes, it is a luxury car - of course. Some people do buy them for status. BUT I buy them for what they can do. They outperform and outhandle ordinary vehicles. It's not like a 3 Series is a tarted up Mazda 3, Elantra, or Civic, or something - a basic 3 Series is leaps and bounds more capable with way higher limits, than a normal compact car. If you've never owned one you wouldn't understand.
