Too fussy

[@Kassim_alomari]

For real

[@teebryant2173]

Shaking my head i wish i had the x5 right now

[@dosia1879]

I feel you dude. Its so hard and stressful when the air conditioner turns on.

[@AW305]

Love the sarcasm in this comment.

[@brainards11]

Sometimes I hate getting out of bed in the morning...but, so damn lucky that I can! Wake up and don't let the damn little things bother you...you are so lucky to have a great car such as that BMW!

[@emmanuelisaiah675]

Bhros is click baiting !!!😭😢

[@charlespatterson3936]

A new Corvette and BMW. Nice house. Life’s treating you good. Enough said.

[@ipodtouch590]

Seriously preach

[@jensjohansson4243]

He dont' hate his car. He just wants to brag about it in a more subtile way.

[@jurmitkighn1879]

[@simon6652]

Brake dust 😂 it’s a car driving on dirty roads. Come on

[@arunn7887]

All the car assist features in the world but they still can't drive

[@drjd2real]

No its not. Dirty roads have nothing to do with it. It is the metallic flakes coming from the brake pads. He needs to switch to ceramic pads.

[@JohnDoe-wy1yd]

"Hate" is pretty strong language. People need to quit throwing that word around all the time.

[@L0r1T0]

i hate you

[@101lukman]

Ivan Ordoñez lmao

[@Fazil.444]

that BMW X5 that is my dream car.

[@XPoChangLinX]

Three things that I hate about the X5 1. Too expensive 2. Don't own one 3. I'm driving a smart car

[@benventress467]

Well work hard and stop complaining about how shit you’re life is. Things aren’t givin to you in life you work for it also. The car isn’t that expensive

[@sophalawson6337]

Lol love it. He low keys love his ride.

[@memonaar3182]

Give me your X5 & take my ford taurus 🖕

[@MLeung-vl7we]

What happens to the blind spot warning when you are in congested street traffic and the activation speed is set 5mph....it will be blinking non-stop and you'll complain its blinking too much.

[@m_requiem5267]

give me the car, annoyances gone!

[@deanvo58]

imagine buying a car to hate it

[@herbertwalkeriii3446]

"Hate" is a strong word when talking about a BMW! I forgive you.

[@Dashcam024]

That was good thanks for the update, I'm sure it has helped someone 😊

[@knightmareking1342]

All those things are common with any car

[@user-ti9yz3tn9i]

Hey just bought this same car same color. Just wondering what front plate bracket you used/recommend?

[@poppywilson3294]

How is the reliability on this generation ? I like the way u have set yours up

[@Sahy2020]

You are absolutely right on all count, sell it man, and buy a ford

[@roronoasam1]

you have a point about the blind spot but the rest mannnn wtf you doing bro lmao

[@david-pc7cj]

roronoasam. EXACTLY

[@shpazhist]

Hey man, thanks for the great video! Was just wondering, Im thinking buying a similar car now 2017 (used) as I found a really good deal but really trying to figure out whether X5 is a reliable car and requires a lot of servicing, repairs, etc. Could your please advise if you have had/have any issues with it while operating it and/or any other recommendations you might have that I can address when doing the viewing. Thanks!

[@rooneybanana]

What year and trim is this? Looks really nice.

[@karenbuford6189]

Oh I love the X5. I want one

[@TheTestDrive]

Nice video. I have a 2012 X5 so some of the features yours has weren't available when mine came out. How sensitive is the front passenger seat belt warning in yours? I can't set my briefcase on the front passenger seat without it yelling at me to buckle it in. Love the idea of coding the car to fold the mirrors in when you lock it. I tested the new 530e and it does that stock.

[@csgresendes]

Information on your wheels? Also lowered? Aftermarket grills?

[@maebeeee]

Thanks for being honest about your car, I actually like it😊

[@thirst4petrol537]

I reviewed the x5 30d xdrive with the digital screen which looks so good. Ur welcome to check it out if ur in the market for this type of car

[@arxhives]

I think you may be confusing blind spot assistance with cross traffic alert which is only available when backing up. If you shift your car into reverse you can see triangles in the two top corners that show cross traffic warning. From what ive gathered, theres no audible tones though like the systems used in Infinitis

[@allthatjazzyj919]

I hate that my gas cap locks/ unlocks with the car. Here in Atlanta people love to jack BMWs at the gas pumps and I assume its because it's easy to assume the car is unlocked when the person is pumping gas. Here is my routine to pump gas........ 1. Get out of my car. 2. Open gas cap. 3. Lock car so it is secure while I'm pumping gas (especially since my gas cap is on the passenger side which I also hate so it could be easy for someone to jump in the driver's side and me not realize). 4. Unlock the car again after I have my receipt so I can close the gas cap. Then get in and drive off. LOL I also agree with the car not staying in the mode you left it in. But it is undeniable that this car is a beast and so much fun to drive. I love my x5 so much!

[@jeffmiller1387]

Super cool looking color! Nice x5! Just got a 2016 X5 35i. Looking forward to learning everything it does. Thanks

[@The_Diesel733]

AC and be coded off. Blind Spot can be coded to a very low speed to be activated. Brake dust, pads can be changed. Sport mode can be coded to start in sport mode. Trunk can be coded to close via remote. 5 things I hate about my X5 solved. That's what I did to mine. Hope it helps.

[@AW305]

Minh Dao i had it coded when i picked it up in 2015. Ac was coded to remember last setting and still doesnt do it. Blind spot is coded for the slowest speed possible already (17mph) i believe. As far as i know you cant code it to remember sport mode on start up. The remote trunk coding worked. And as far as break pads any recommendations on some that performs well and is low dust?

[@The_Diesel733]

In terms of starting in sport mode, I use the bimmercode app. You had to code it in two different places for it to work. Brake pads, I run OEM because I have satin bronze wheels and brake dust doesn't stick to satin finishes. But you can get ceramic pads. Here's a link. You might loose some bite in braking since it's a harder pad but might be good looking into. www.ecstuning.com/News/BMW_F15_X5_Akebono_Brake_Pads_24182/

[@AW305]

Minh Dao sounds good. I'll look into it

[@bigfwopl4873]

by change do you have any vibration on the rear seats?

[@zachslump5844]

How much in upkeep ? How many miles was it purchased at and how many have you put on ?

[@mandyd4397]

How do you have it coded to do those things for you??? That's awesome!!

[@PMC-1]

How did you code it for folding mirrors with the remote?

[@highendtrends3508]

Where did you get the coding done? Was it expensive? Thanks

[@robertelektronik]

Is there a difference between 2014-2018 x5 models? Was there ever a mid cycle change?

[@VictorEstrada]

1 You're right, we all hate BMW break pads, they go with those for quietness and stopping power, but can be easily upgraded to ceramic. 2 yeah agree again, it should remember that setting and AC shouldn't come one when you press Auto, but it does so to keep your car at the temperature you selected, so it's not like it'll blow cold air. 3 Agree again, but this one like the previous 2 can be coded out. 4, running your car on sport mode causes excesive wear and you shouldn't be driving around like that, your kind of being needy here. And 5, they do that so you don't accidentally close the door on someone's neck while you have the key in your pocket and something pressing against it, but it should have a combination of key presses for this

[@rraj4988]

Absolutely nice car in a wrong persons hand 😅

[@hugohughley4139]

About to get mine tomorrow! Good looking on the heads up bro

[@islesfan24]

The Front Plate off to the side of the bumper may be the dumbest thing of all. Just put it where it belongs or don't put it on at all

[@alymaged5087]

Ok give it to me

[@laplatika]

1st world problems

[@andrewmorgan5837]

Real truth

[@badangel9131]

Where did u get it programmed to open and lock the trunk with the remote

[@MLeung-vl7we]

How did you code the trunk to remote close? I have Carly and dont see the option to code the trunk to remote close.

[@kareinaclark585]

😲 I want my key fob coded to close the back and activate my mirrors lol. Did you take it to a shop or program it yourself?

[@aaronwashington5967]

AW305.....whats your tire setup, thinking about putting 22s on my x5 but was told that you had to stay extremely close to the stock wheel height or your warranty could possibly be voided

[@AW305]

Aaron Washington sorry for the delay in responding. Its 265/35/22 up front and 295/30/22 in the back

[@jasonwhelan5596]

Nicest colour I’ve seen the x5 in, I have one in carbon black but will change soon. What is the colour? Space grey?

[@AW305]

Yeah it is space grey

[@MrShabab1000]

Is reliable though, and how much the average maintenance costs

[@zcoolr]

The only thing I hate about X5 is that I don't own it. 😀

[@AW305]

You missed your opportunity to buy it. I sold it a year ago

[@myueksek186]

Brake dust is an issue with every car so you shouldn’t only refer to your x5

[@isaiahpolobro]

I coded my 2013 X5d using the carly by Bmw pro app on my phone.. super easy . Just buy the app and a obd2 adapter (I used the carly brand adapter but I think a cheaper adapter would work) the app was only 40 bucks.. it coded the mirrors and window close n open with the key, the seat belt warning , added the digital speedometer, codes the comfort access if your car is equipped with it. And a lot of other stuff.

[@RivyRivz]

This is so beautiful😭😭😭

[@andresmarin8941]

Evidently This is his first BMW.

[@jurmitkighn1879]

[@leeh5103]

How do you get it coded for the folding mirrors and the trunk. I agree with you on all fronts. Especially blind spot detection and the trunk remote closure.

[@iamdjcertified2]

Lee h510 www.bimmer-tech.net/bmw-idrive-coding/

[@jwjones1215]

What brand are those wheels? Tire size/ wheels size and or dimensions?

[@CoupeDominic]

The blind spot problem is actually a serious problem to people who know what a life saver that is and how much easier your driving is when it works no matter the speed you’re driving... is there a way to code it??

[@pahanin2480]

You forgot the worst part, losing 70% value to depreciation by 2021

[@gudalawrence2028]

You just wanted to make a video. In my Infiniti if you turn off the a.c b4 off the car it will not come ON automatically when next you turn ON the car.

[@tamikagonzalez1852]

What year is this ? I want one I don’t about the AC coming on I’m from Florida it’s hot!!!! The blind spot don’t care 🤷🏽‍♀️ I’ll just look 👀 old school style. The truck lifting a must with a toddler. Btw what color is this ? Ash grey

[@chadpolicarpio2354]

what front lip is that? Like the setup btw

[@doktahd]

You’re still blessed brother!

[@brianwallenburg9224]

Two of your concerns are easily fixed with just a little knowledge on how to save your profile settings. The AC powering on and Sport mode reverting to Comfort, are settings you can update to however you like. Brake dust is impossible to avoid. Blind spot detection is a valid complaint. Looks like you have the tailgate figured out. It's a nice looking BMW with those blacked out wheels.

[@AW305]

Thank you

[@kray25kop]

Nice video bro I could definitely see this being annoying after awhile. Question how did you get the coding to get the trunk to open that's super Is convenient in my opinion

[@SuperEmlo]

Rust amount the brake ? My bmw too.. It’s so easy to rust

[@Dreamlessdancer_]

Hey, what year is this? Looking to get one myself. But thank you for this video, it helps.

[@AW305]

This one specifically is a 2015

[@MelissaWendiFlorez]

im glad i watched this video i have a bmw x5 2015 model and mainly what bugs me me is the blind spot and the air conditioner

[@csylvers74]

How do you get your car coded so that it can do those 2 features

[@LaKedelune]

Wow was it expensive to Code the BMW? I’m thinking about getting an 2013 or 14.

[@xj1085]

$100, u can download bimmercode app and buy required ob2 adapter

[@derrickgaskins543]

How did you get it coded

[@theacehendrix9998]

What size tires& rims you have on there?

[@alialdakhil1200]

I am just focussing on the corvette inside the garage

[@sanmiguel4501]

These features can be changed in the gage cluster settings.. eg. you can select if you want the drive mode to return to default or stay in its current mode.. default is better though

[@steentea]

I noticed your navigation maps is coded in green letting you know the traffic flow. I'm having a hard time getting my maps to display this information. Any suggestions? I scheduled an appt in 2 weeks, not sure if I have to have the maps updated or something..

[@AW305]

Its only in effect if you have an active traffic plan. $50 for 1 year

[@sasikanthsasidharan6272]

Honestly ... u hav such a beautiful car and if Im u, would happily enjoy the machine & live with those silly minnor points!!

[@kelvinlopez6633]

Where’d you get it coded ?

[@stunt514]

Where’d you get the front lip? Brand?

[@jimthompson717]

Love my 2016x5. As others have posted, multiple coding options exist. Nice looking color wheel combo. Agree on the tail gate. I leave the mirrors out as a fender to keep pedestrians from trying to squeeze by in tight spots. Or parking too close-hate that. I'm getting the CLAR platform in late 2018/2019. The M-performance chip is money well spent FYI.

[@MetalVII]

If you’ve had your car coded, code the “start in sport mode” option in too.

[@AW305]

Coded that and it doesn’t work. Remember this was a 2015 and before bimmercode

[@MA-do9kw]

Some people are never happy with what they have

[@AW305]

I absolutely am happy with my x5. But there is no such thing as a perfect car. Even million dollar ones people have things they don't like about it. I'm sure in what ever vehicle you drive there is something that you don't like about it

[@savmarjanac1627]

Change to a better brake pad to eliminate brake dust.

[@joesaunders2213]

Blindspot assist only activates at 30mph because speeds under that it is safe to look over your shoulder and correct any steering input caused by doing so. Over 30mph it is not safe to do so hence blind spot assist helps. So the car isn't at fault the user is for not understanding it's intended function

[@chrisb321]

But why not just work at all slow speeds like every other car. What is the harm of it working at 10mph?

[@AW305]

Correct. Mb works at all speeds and so does a lot of other manufacturers

[@wer170]

How is it safe at 30mph? You ever been sideswipe or hit at 30mph? It is not “safe” by any means. You are correct on 1 thing though, the car isn’t at fault, the engineer that designed this car is.

[@lanacastillo49]

My previous car a 2015 Nissan Altima SL has a blind assist that actually rings a sound if you are switching or moving lanes and another approaching car is in that lane averting collision. Also has heated steering wheel and remote start. A 2015 sedan! How my 2018 BMW X5 doesnt have these standard features is beyond me. Very annoying

[@darnelbruno4004]

Where do you code your computer

[@krazyowillz]

Which colour is your bmw?

[@ShawnCastator]

The whole blind spot thing surprises me. Do they not factor in city and residential neighborhoods? Weird. As for the a/c and the comfort mode, that’s standard in most vehicles unfortunately. My Fusion does that too.

[@AW305]

Shawn Castator it's just so annoying I got to turn the ac off when I don't want it on. Just wish the designers would use common sense when building these vehicles

[@ShawnCastator]

Yeah I agree.

[@bctraveltv323]

What year is this? I have the 2017 and the blind spot works when I’m parked. Everything else is true about what you said. I will see if the dealer can code the remote trunk to close and the mirrors to fold in like my old ML350 did. Thanks for making this video.

[@AW305]

BCtravelTV mine is a 2015

[@AW305]

BCtravelTV are you in the United states or Canada. Jist curious if the BC in your name stands for British Columbia

The break dust collects so quickly is because it’s an heavy all wheel drive suv which has to stop on a dime btw have u seen the break dust on trucks ??😅

[@mybro727]

What was the process to get it coded?

[@AW305]

Back then you needed a laptop and a cord. Now you can use a Bluetooth dongle and bimmercode app

[@alexanderabrego6220]

Where did you get ur coded for the doors/mirrors. I’m looking for places in Cali.
