The BMW X5M and X6M have received an LCI updated for the 2024 model year, and now only come in Competition trim. We still have a 4.4L Twin Turbo V8 but it is now a mild hybrid, designated the S68, making 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque. Not only is the X5M Comp fast, but it drives well, has a phenomenal interior and serious cool technology and design. Join me as we take the refreshed 2024 BMW X5M Competition for a review!

The best performance SUV in the business, hands down!!

[@vindevhunta4905]

Looks nice Like that urban green paint 🎨

[@andrelima5124]

My favorite performance SUV

[@bobsummers125]

Just bought one love it!!!!!

[@raulshah]

Dude I love your camera work/angles and those color graded pics you mixed in at the start. Would you ever review the 2024 M340? Would love to hear your thoughts

[@EddieX]

Thanks!! I’ll see if I can get my hands on one!

[@dnice362]

THE BEST SPORTS UTILITY VEHICLE IN THE WOLRD. Period.

[@talkingwithcars]

Dude, you need your get your button fetish under control. Lmao😂 just kidding. I like the quick buttons also. Very helpful when driving. Great job !!

[@EddieX]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@QuartzE-cb3cp]

Eddie lives in a different reality than 80% of Americans. $140k that’s normal and good. 😆

[@daronkendrick]

When compared to its competitors, the $140k makes sense. There’s no car offering equivalent performance, capability, & overall experience sub $100k. Admittedly it still is an expensive vehicle.

[@EddieX]

Not necessary the “reality” I live in lol. I acknowledge this is an extremely expensive vehicle, but that is how much things in this segment cost.

[@kromahj]

@@daronkendrick I will buy the certified used one 😂😂😂

[@daronkendrick]

@@kromahj good idea 😂

[@mlo5083]

Where exactly is the stop/start button. The one you "deactivate' when you drive "this" car? I would like to know where in the cockpit this button is. My daughters a new x3 6 cyl and my son in-law has a new X5 6 cyl. We cannot locate this button because there isn't one. Are we wrong? We finally figured it out that one can only "deactivate" the auto stop/start function by driving in sport mode. Are we missing something? We can't find the button and others tell us that BMW took it away. Probably to pre-empt the guys that "just press" the de-activate button. Please help! If there are owners out there who own these models please let me know how to deactivate that button.

[@gp9112]

Let’s be honest Eddie if you were driving this X5M competition next to a BMW M engineer/driver I don’t believe you would be saying this X5M competition needs an Air suspension! Overall, as a new owner of one of these vehicles I’m totally impressed and satisfied. There’s really no competition to be honest

[@jonwear9791]

It is a beautiful SUV with power.

[@clemsondds]

Eddie...pick x5m or porsche cayenne turbo GT? Porsche also has the turbo e-hybrid that's coming out. I know they are different price points but would the x5m compete in driving dynamics and interior? Thanks

[@EddieX]

It is tough with the very different price points. I haven’t driven the Cayenne turbo GT yet, just the new Cayenne S. I think I’d go for the X5M tho and put the extra money towards something else 👀

[@edgarvillegas7997]

I’m here to support

[@EddieX]

Thanks!

[@michaelclementi226]

Hi Eddie Great reviews I just looked at a X5M and can not look at that dash it does not fit, MB did a better job with incorporating the flat screen and just looked at Audi SQ7 and they have a great dash but not as much power. I had a 2013 X5M and loved it but all BMW's are going to that dash and it stinks

[@EddieX]

I actually ended up really liking this iteration of iDrive. Had a 2024 GLE63S right before it and wasn’t a huge fan of MBUX. You are right that the screen sticks out more tho on the BMW.

[@BobsGT235]

I prefer the exterior look of the pre LCI X5M, along with the dashboard screens. Don't like that one-piece screen sticking out like the eyesore that it is. The previous generation X5M had rear air suspension. Didn’t provide any softer of a ride and didn't handle nearly as good as this generation. Air ride suspensions are a compromise on a performance vehicle. Even Porsche system isn't that great.

[@deenyc1049]

The fact the grill isn't ridiculously huge is already a plus.

[@EddieX]

Agreed

[@user-my4xu4gf1z]

We still on that?. The m3 and m4 look amazing in person. Super wide and aggresive and nothing else like it on the road. Legit looks like a racecar

[@kpkf45]

Please review the Cayenne S 2024 v8 🔥 thank you

[@ShOwStOpp3rr]

yea i wanna see that car too

[@uweboker5983]

This colour army green looks good. Probably it can be mistaken for a real army car. But anyway, it's a nice car!

[@atom999]

We still have some buttons you should say 😢 AC controls are on touch screen. I bet the next gen 2027 will be button free, sad

[@dnice362]

Someone get this man a RSQ8

[@EddieX]

Hello Audi. Can I please have an RSQ8 😃

[@dnice362]

@@EddieX haha

[@gaara4667]

SQ8 better value for money tbh

[@dnice362]

@@gaara4667 like not even close. Nice vehicle but it’s not this.

[@gaara4667]

@@dnice362 what do you really get? 90 more hp? Little more torque? Extra gloss black panels? The only real winner for the RSQ8 is the RS tuned suspension but even then, after market support can fix the SQ8 suspension and power deficiencies. But it’s up to you if you think the 29k difference in price is worth it. 🤝

[@ATStone]

Apparently you're a fellow SCR listener!

[@EddieX]

Yes! Every episode haha.

[@paulm6481]

Dude show back room seat and luggage space instead of just taking and driving. That is lazy.

[@user-my4xu4gf1z]

I know its a hot take but the x6m just looks alot more special. Shih looks like a spaceship. Still like the x5 but its def a more traditional suv design

[@Johnnygga]

Nah it ain’t a hot take IMO. The X6 in general is supposed to be the flagship SUV for BMW. The X6M is just that much more special looking and futuristic. Don’t forget, BMW themselves invented this “coupe SUV” category many years ago with their X6! Everyone else has just been copying since then.

[@LennexEghan]

Spending 100k to blend in traffic. At least you have 600hp ..Lol

[@Itzallgoood]

I just don't like the big ass Ipad screen.

[@Abdullah.h]

These cars depreciate VERY heavily here in Saudi Arabia. They don’t live well in the heat

[@paulm6481]

What happened to BMW interiors? 🤷‍♂️

[@dnice362]

The Only negative issssss the price lol

[@EddieX]

But they all cost this much now 🫣

[@dnice362]

@@EddieX agree but that is the only negative I can think of

[@paulm6481]

$140,000 for this? Wow. Here I am thinking new Lexus GX is expensive around $80,000. Much rather get new 4-Runner coming out soon at $50,000-$60,000 with hybrid engine and all. This is ridiculous.

[@falcaofalcao528]

Comparing at 4 runner to an x5m lol. Not even close

[@f8ffd248]

Yes yes yes but it is very very very heavy .

It seems everything is trending that way sadly.

Is see where the series 2 cullinan royce got its front air vents from.....bmw really ruined rolls royce.

[@gaara4667]

BMW is the reason why Rolls Royce is still alive. And they make them basically do as they please but provide a platform for vehicles. More than likely this was Rolls Royce alone decision.

[@aidenp5768]

@@gaara4667 This ^

[@EddieX]

I’m pretty sure Rolls Royce still runs their own design.

[@Aiseru_]

@gaara4667 You really are stupid if you think it was Rolls Royce final decision. BMW is just plain greedy. In their mind, why spend more money designing and making body panels unique to Rolls Royce when they can recycle what they use on their own car models. Thus, they can save money and cmslap a sky-high price tag since it has a RR badge attached to it. Just plain greedy, everyone knows damn well that those goofy angular front bumper vents go against RR design language, which is timeless and classic.

[@gaara4667]

@@Aiseru_ and you must be stupid to attack someone based off what ifs. I said “more than likely” given everyone knows BMW doesn’t interfere(at least noticeably) with Rolls Royce. I don’t know what BMW did to you but you gotta resolve those issues.

You guys ruined rolls Royce

[@EddieX]

Who is “you guys” lol

[@gaara4667]

They are responsible for the continued existence of Rolls Royce, which many famous and wealthy people still buy from. If you are referring to their new car designs, keep in mind that BMW make them do their own thing so design is their choice. Keep your BMW agenda to yourself.
