I bought a 24 X5 x40i largely based on your previous review and of course, my own research, and I completely agree with your comments. It strikes a great balance between luxury, performance, and utility. The power train is remarkably refined, yet certainly responsive for a vehicle of this size. I also agree with your airball, as the screen controls for climate are tedious to use, although I'm starting to rely on voice control more which helps. My other big annoyance is the lack of shoulder belt height adjustment for the front passengers. For those of us vertically challenged, the belts become uncomfortable after a long trip. Another is the lack of remote rear seat releases from the tailgate, which is shameless cost cutting for a vehicle at this price point. Otherwise, loving my X5 after 5 months of completely trouble free miles. I'm hoping to beat your predication of average reliability, but we shall see. BTW...great to see your content continue to expand and mature. You guys continue to be all about providing meaningful value to your subscribers.

Ive had the ‘24 50e for a year and it has been to the dealership 7 times this year. All issues with the screen (would go blank and not turn back on when the temp dipped below 20 degrees, couldn’t use climate control) and after the 5th time they finally replaced the entire display. Now back in the dealership with 3 other separate issues, all of which need to be replaced. I’m told this is a unique experience, hopefully they worked out some of the kinks for ‘25. It’s a shame because I love the way it drives and enjoy saving money on gas with the plugin hybrid but might be trading in for a regular gas x5. Also wish they kept the climate controls out of the screen and as actual buttons.

I think the X5 may be the best all-rounder of the two row lux class. STANDARD B58 I-6 power over pesky 4cyls, plus offering hybrid, and TWO V8s. Cant hate them for offering choices for sure. But am I the only one that loathes the pulsating turn signals?? Frustrates me! LOL! Same as the Mazdas but at least those are amber rears. Mason and Drew: I also think that BMW has some of the best faux-leather in the business, but I'm curious on how does it dissipate heat. Some of the pleathers hold summer heat way worse than real leather, even when perforated and ventilated.

I'll be waiting patiently for that automated lane change with a look to cause its first accident. What a ridiculous and unnecessary system that adds additional cost and additional safety risk to those around the driver. BMW has really started to move backwards, both in their design elements, and in the technology they're including to hop on whatever trend is next. I saw those front turn signals the other day and I'll be happy to stick with a previous generation X5 for that alone, not to mention that it still has buttons for pretty much all of the functions, and doesn't have that heinous looking super-ultrawide monitor (with absolutely hideous thick bezels, what year is it, 2006?) for a gauge cluster. I also don't care for the little toggle joystick shifter. Even the push-button one Honda has is better looking for me personally. Great review as always though, just a shame to see BMW join the fray of car manufacturers forgetting who they make cars for and wasting precious resources on this kind of garbage.

@ Good to know. Thank you. I do much prefer the open pore options but real wood is better than the fake plastic stuff.

You guys always do an amazing job with the reviews. But I’m not paying 100k for fake leather lol

Sensafin has leather-like properties, exclusive three- dimensional quilting, and surface perforation to enhance seating comfort. This premium material ain't your grandfathers Corinthian leather. Buy the Merino skins if you don't like it.

The problem is the screen is cheap looking and even if you get the X5 M I have a mechanical engineering and mechanic background because my uncle has a shop. I would help him out on cars for free. When I worked on my dad’s x5 m, I noticed they used cheap plastic parts. What is sad is X5 M owners think they are getting high end everything, only the engine is bigger

I have a 2020 X5 that I designed myself. It KILLS me that you have to get the M to get the Bowers and Wilkins sound system. Because of this I won't be getting another X5. 2025 Acura MDX Type-S here I come!

Why are manufacturers moving their driver/passenger climate controls into digital screens higher and further away than down near the centre console? ..... WHY? WHY? They were easily found manually (Were individual switches), closer for reach, more often used and this change of adding them into digital screens is putting those benefits into REVERSE !!! Just when you think manufacturers know their clients and are getting smarter - WE ARE PROVED WRONG YET AGAIN.

Oldie but goldie. Classic lines, good power, plenty of options, What is not to like? Other than... the price obviously 🤣. With all due respect your storage "donut test" is pointless and may as well skip it. Has no reference point other than promoting your channel's logo. Either do a proper test with a daily object that people can relate to or just state the actual dimensions in order to be useful. Funny how you do a proper cabin noise test but you stick to the donut test. Just sayin'...

@@watchfuleye275 They can stuff whatever they please into that bin it's their channel after all. Wasn't trying to be disrespectful but the consistency of the review is off. I mean you take all the time to give the viewers exterior -interior dimensions, power train, acceleration and an accurate noise test but you put random donuts into a storage that some ppl may consider useful. Doesn't have any sort of order of measurement or gives you any useful insight about the size other than the visuals. I may seem petty but it just got stuck to me. Again you guys can do whatever you please and I wish you all the best. Cheers!

@@axx8326 I see what you're saying, but it is a relative consistent comparison as they are using the same sized donuts for each test. So if vehicle A will hold 8 and vehicle B will hold 10, obviously vehicle B has a larger compartment. Not perfect since we don't know how big the donuts are, but I think more meaningful than the coupons they formerly used. Providing the actual dimensions in addition to the donuts sounds like a good idea.
