2021 BMW X5 M50i Dynamic Handling: Is This The Best Performance SUV For Under $100,000?

[@WalkerTexasplumber]

I saw an X7 M50i driving today . That thing was sick

[@MichaelThomas-wq4jg]

This dude us so underrated he literally puts out so much time and he doesnt get the veiws he deserves

[@jimmyaber5920]

DHP is an impressive technology. If you drive one with for a few days on different roads you'll hate anything without it. The active roll stailization makes the car ride great. Stiff sway bars harm ride, ARS bars disconnect the two sides so wheels are truly independent until steering input and body motion result in sway bars engaging. In a hard corner the sway bar actuator twists the bar to hold body near level and keep all wheels planted.

This power train is ridiculous!! Solid review as always Ben!

I have a triple black 22. Red calipers. Absolutely love it so far. Only complaint is maybe driver seat bottom not the most comfortable. But a nimble beast of an SUV.

[@andrewliapis3533]

You're always so positive, love it

​@reubenkincaidband9781 this is fantastic news! I'm looking to buy one with about 40k on her with an extended warranty

[@andrewbeamish]

I ordered one of these X5 M50i's two weeks ago, went for Arctic Grey (may change to Tanzanite Blue II) - with carbon interior , Bowers Wilkins upgrade, shadowline exterior (grill etc) and a few other bits. Can you believe it won't be arriving with w/less charging as they've run out of chips LOL.

@@NastyNate2306 it was in the UK and was last May when I ordered it.

[@NastyNate2306]

@@andrewbeamish Thinking of getting the Bavsound upgrade for the HK, not sure if it'll be as good as the B&W though.

[@andrewbeamish]

@@NastyNate2306 my previous 2 X5's (M Sport 30D/40D) both had the HK stereo setup and they were great. I like the BW but I'm not sure its worth the $$$ as its a huge cost for only a slight increase in performance over the HK, but the lighting looks top notch (not that I get to admire that much as I'm always driving).

[@charliemontero5217]

One of my favorite SUV"s is fast really fast everything looks great

[@JMD535]

Damn! I had to speed up my brain and hearing to keep up with your Intro narrative!

[@JNSEngineering]

I just bought one in Phytonic blue and cognac leather. It's an amazingly comfortable and very fast machine when you push it. I love the Android Auto integration with wireless charging. I'm getting down to one car and this is it!

same here and im also very glad that bmw didnt use fake exhaust pipes

[@fastfish6307]

Well incept for the x5 m competition right?

[@frankcottingham7208]

Maybe it's just me, but a glass gear selector is the complete opposite of what you'd expect in a sporty vehicle. Why not a crystal chandelier hanging from the rear view mirror too?

[@aga080]

its literally the reason im not buying one lol

This is the reason I want one. 🤣

Great video Ben this suv looks nice and sounds nice

[@kmor3505]

How do you know if your X5 got the dynamic handling package? I forgot what packages there was but my M50i has sport suspension not sure if that’s the same

[@georgiannejohnson4420]

You probably know what you have , by now. The dynamic handling was a separate option pkg. Anyhow...if your back wheels are " steering " out or in , as you turn your fronts...well then...you have it. Btw... I have a 2022 X5 M50i....no Dynamic Handling option. Hope you're enjoying your car !

[@SeanHorning]

What color is this exterior?

What color is that car?

[@andrewbeamish]

I'm curious myself, possibly Arctic Grey (?) but not 100% as looks bluer than that.

[@Will-gn3zr]

Has anyone compared a model with the Dynamic Handling Package vs. one without? Realized weeks after ordering that they don't seem to offer it in Canada now :/ Maybe supply issues?

[@socommaster]

There is a very noticable difference

can you do BMW X6 vs Mercedes Benz GLE 43 coupe?

[@alexyustas4148]

Nothing was said about the color name for the exterior and trim.

[@chuckp4710]

Here's WHY I hate the dual rear gate---when you have 6 bags of groceries (yes, it would be my daily driver) its a real pain in the ass as you put down the lower gate to try and reach in and put all of them in the rear end cargo area. Think about how inconvenient that really is or option 2 you have to lift the bags over the bottom rear gate so you can accidentally bump the rear gate and put a bunch of scratches on it. Either way you go its a true pain in the butt!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@haroldconner6265]

I disagree with you, I have a 2021 X5, and I really enjoy and appreciate the clam shell rear gate!

[@jimmyaber5920]

After a gaggle of one piece gates and stuff rolling out onto the ground, I love my X5's lower gate. I'm 6 ft so I never have issues with dragging things on the lower gate.

[@Mapdotnowhere]

Made in America. Might as well buy a Ford...

[@A2Kaid]

90% of these features are the same shit from models like 4-5 years ago. Oh heads-up-display yeah that's been around for years. Its a cool car but not seeing much innovation lately from BMW. They can't even build a fully electric X5 instead they offer some bs hybrid.

[@haroldconner6265]

electric cars are lame!

[@Bug13]

Maybe if the infrastructure to support electric cars was there and the demand for electric cars was higher, they would build them. You don't think a billion dollar company, such as BMW, knows what their customers want? I know that if I wanted to jump in my gas powered BMW and drive to anywhere, at anytime, all it would take is me jumping in the car and going, without having to figure out where I need to stop to charge up, my "oh I'm so special", electric car. Just because they haven't built one, doesn't mean they can't, it just doesn't make sense for them to do so.
