A 617-horsepower "monster": BMW X5 M Competition

The 2020 BMW X5 M Competition brandishes 617 horsepower. That’s enough ponies to rocket this machine to 60 mph in as little as 3.7 seconds. Is that bonkers enough for you? It should be.

OK I will bite. Why can't you drive this vehicle for your video? Can't social distance with 617 horses?

[@seamuscarroll2779]

My local drug dealer will LOVE this!

[@aidenp5768]

Since the original E53 X5 4.6/4.8 they never disappoint! Love these!

[@Kryotek7]

As someone who is leasing a 2018 X5M and reads forums the BMW V8 is not something that ages well, especially the original version in the 2000’s. They’re honed it over the years but they still drink oil and struggle to get to 100k miles without major work. Great engine and power, but I would never own a BMW with the V8

[@aidenp5768]

Alex Graham My X5 is the straight 6, it’s crazy reliable for what it is, 17 years old, original owner and never plan to sell it, treat it well they treat you well, the V8 is another story but straight 6 are great

[@jabulaniharvey]

love the Howard Hughes reference...Great review

[@Kryotek7]

I have a 2018 X5M and it’s a great all-round vehicle. The problem with them is the gearbox tends to grenade or need replacing at 50k miles and with the newer ones having even more power I would be curious if they’ve addressed the power train reliability. Other thing to note with the new version is they added Adaptive Cruise Control, before it wasn’t even an option.

[@mikeab2871]

Ya that’s because bmw is trash they lose the most value in the market especially. I’m Canada it’s trash especially we don’t like them because they break down all the time

[@Major_Mason]

Oh please, those mini back seats where an afterthought. This was made for him and her plus luggage.

[@alexalonso2807]

Love the Howard Hughes reference.

[@paulm6481]

I love X5. I am probably old now, but I prefer the straight six engine in base X5. Plenty fast enough for normal living and smooth bread and butter BMW engine.

[@ACURACALABAR11]

Not old.....its just your preference. My grand aunt just bought a M5 competition. She 66 last week

[@soscwon]

We sold our 2018 x5m after a year. We just loved the car. It was our 3rd x5. We hated it burning engine oil 1 qt a month! No kidding. Lost almost $50k from the new price. Yes, we drove it very gently 99% of time...

[@pr9382]

Gabriel Galante that is fraud and highly illegal.

[@ericking8402]

625 HP

[@pdotc]

Overkill yes, love it yes.

[@clegz2]

I like his sense of humor

[@Djsatile]

Earned my subscription from the roll joke lol

[@Engineerboy100]

Great review, thanks for posting. I'll look elsewhere lol

[@pt6134]

Shocked it's not an iMfotainment system

[@ayoubnourine5874]

Great car , the only downside is that since it has more tech and stuff many things could go wrong or faulty and you will be looking for expensive repair,it would be good if they make thier cars more durable.

[@stevejoseph1664]

Not everyone dislikes his reviews. I like his reviews, I do like the rolls bit. I thought it was funny!

[@jamarward8437]

I'm good with the straight 6.

[@beekaye1496]

Always, great review

[@michaelbugattiha9422]

My dreams ride..🤓

[@theraven26780]

heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy! The man tthe legend Craig Cole! Craig for Top Gear!

[@KevinEscobarCo]

The Raven top Gear is trash. Craig is better than that

[@BTC909]

Please don't insult Craig Cole. Grand Tour sure, Top Gear, no.

[@paulduncan3024]

What color is this?

[@RarelyReplies]

yeah, this dude is pretty great.

[@andrecog]

Rarely Replies mmm. I’m thinking about getting one

[@mayankpatel7261]

I would love to own one, fully loaded of course.

[@unkey8401]

You will own one keep thinking and you will I did. 🤛

[@k.c.6846]

The X5M has all what you mentioned, except a track mode which gets you the extra 17hp from a tune. The M has the same exhaust, seats, brakes, wheels, trans, torque etc as the M comp. I own one. Do your homework buddy.

[@harleym6555]

I want to see Brian Cooley do video review.

[@kevinbarry71]

No mention of the sticker price? Of course, the vast majority of these things are leased, but still

[@jsy8513]

역시 BMW

[@stephendibari5010]

Anyone who buys (not leases) this monster and plans on keeping it long term better plan on having DEEP pockets ! Generally speaking , all BMW’s as they age (5+ years) and 50k miles will BANKRUPT you faster then you can blink !! And this M high performance version will be super expensive to maintain and fix when crap breaks down ... and it will !! In July 2018, i bought a 2013 X5 which I mistakenly bought with 94k miles. I Was excited since i never owned an SUV; It looked in Mint condition, White with Black leather interior and drove beautifully.... Felt solid and well built. My mistake for not doing some research on BMW dependability as they age with high mileage. Within 8 LONG months, i sunk nearly $2,500 into it and thats with a “bumper to bumper” extended warranty w. A $75/hr labor fee covered. Front end suspension work, leaking rear Differential and a frozen passenger door lock (bad actuator, door was frozen shut). After nearly 1 month, I couldn’t sell it privately and took a major loss by trading it in for only $10,200. (The first dealer i went too offered me only $8k !!). After speaking to the The mgr. at the dealership (Lexus of Queens, NY) regarding their lowball $8k offer he even told me he had a similar nightmare experience with owning one years ago, he told me after 50k miles get rid of it !! Talk about hearing it straight from the horses mouth !! That night when I left that dealership I was determined to get rid off it ! And then I found another ES350, same Starfire Pearl (white) metallic at a local Volvo Dealership in NJ with only a hair over 30k miles... 1 owner.. In April 2019, I made the best car buying decision by trading in that piece of crap X5 for my 2013 Lexus ES350 with only 30,009 miles !! Original owner averaged 4,300 miles/yr. (They took ownership in Summer of 2012). They traded in as part of a 2 car trade in deal to a local Volvo Dealership along with a high mileage BMW (of all cars!) ... My ES350 is flawless, solid like a tank and quiet like a vault! Still drives like its new ! And now with only 36k miles and Lexus’s (Toyota) highest dependability/reliability of any car/truck on the road this one will be with me for 10+ years !!

[@Kryotek7]

I never like to see someone lose money but you bought a 5 year old vehicle with close to 100k miles, what did you expect? The previous owners drove it into the ground, probably did minimal maintenance and then sold it for the next sucker to be wowed by the badge and pick up the maintenance tab. I wouldn’t buy any ‘luxury’ vehicle with over ~50k miles on it, especially not without a full inspection, and not from a used dealer who probably bought it from auction.

[@BN-fi9wi]

I bet the electronic and computer engineers feel left out because nobody ever says "the engineers" whenever they speak about the interior and infotainment system but whenever a car reviewer opens the bonnet/hood, they go ahead and start saying "the engineers" - obviously referring to the mechanical engineers of the company.

[@jabulaniharvey]

EVs are coming to the X5 platform...maybe those electronics engineers will get their due then

[@TAG247]

This muppet couldn't talk me into or out of buying a car in a million years.

[@bulansabit7285]

600 HP for what?

[@codylujan]

So you can smoke everyone on the highway. That's what.

[@uncleben4560]

He is a defined nerd!! 😁😁😁

[@bbbt8090]

This out handles/powers most $50-80k performance sedans

[@mccarthyti]

It’s over 100k, should do that no?

[@qmccall0328]

This guy never has anything good to say - no matter how great the car. He should be reviewing economy cars only; he is obviously not a car guy at all. Just has a job in the car reviewing business.

[@bruceevans3498]

What kind of dinner rolls.........

[@gudalawrence2028]

Great And exciting vehicle. Sadly, such a boring and disappointing commentary.

[@wb9474]

Yeah, pretty awful. No driving of this vehicle either?!?!?! Just tugging at the steering wheel while in park!

[@MaraudingMale]

Bmw need to offer stripped down versions of all their vehicles.

[@SavageBunny1]

Yeah, and they would double the price 😂

[@jeremyhinman8423]

BMW wasted their press vehicle when they loaned it to you. If you are sooo bored by the car, why did you review it? I guess to you, ridicule = review. To me it equals a thumbs down.

[@antster7]

LOL, they just put an M in front of everything.

[@supercar_fortress1821]

wow

[@TheMystro1971]

Why does the BMW X5 look way way above this reviewers tax bracket??? The Apple genius is now doing car reviews.

[@lukasmurmann625]

It doesn't look anywhere close to as special as the RS Q8 Audi all day

[@rashafella]

He successfully made this SUV less cool...

[@neokhutoane6629]

Isn't that 625hp?

[@flightube321]

I enjoyed your review. By the way, I have NOT been “social distancing” and I am NOT washing my hands frequently.

[@JogBird]

i hope those rolls were eaten 😁

[@mccleaf724]

I was expecting to see jars of your excrement in the cup holders of the BMW. But Craig's finger nails look OK. Also, Tennessee Ernie FORD? In a BMW? At least your music is "inspired" given the times.

[@justadad44]

Great review. But sir pls for the love of horsepower , push up your fking glasses !!!!

[@VictorEstrada]

Yeah as everyone is mentioning, this guy sucks at reviewing cars, he complained about the things most people ask for in a sports SUV. Also, everyone should really stop mentioning COVID, we're here for entertainment and instruction on the specific things we want

[@faisalmirza4761]

Dude should file for unemployed support soon. Bmw has a thing for letter M.🤔

[@s.c.1972]

And you didn’t drive it... guess you weren’t allowed to... Without driving it the review is worthless

[@wb9474]

Bad review. He didn't even drive the vehicle.

[@Cross-xm2fr]

So obsolete

[@sergezele7874]

Check engine light would be on at all time for no reason just like any other German cars 🤣

[@tb.mk4349]

No

[@stefanfalldorf6573]

Good review of a shitty car. If I want to go fast (Autobahn greetings from Germany) I don't take that tank, I wouldn't go bigger than a 3 series (even that is to gig for a real sports car). And if I want to go offroad I would take a real truck or a Suzuki Jimny. If I want to bring my family around I would chose a van or a wagon. But if I had problems with my masculinity I would chose that thing. Like I always say, BMW driving is like wearing a penis prosthesis.
