My parents got an E53 3.0 (and with LPG from Prinz!) for a quite long time and it was a good car... until dad was deciding what to do about repairs - The power steering has broken and it was “no biggie”, mom still could handle it because she got a enough strength for parking or turning from intersections thanks to chopping wood occasionally. It was fixed after 3 years - The gears on the back differential cracked and they have to be welded because we couldn’t find that part anywhere in whole Poland (because apparently nobody sane import a Petrol BMW here, get diesel or get out) - the radiator fan has broken and dad had to choose: New part for 400zł/approx 80 pounds and car will be ready in the week or wait for the used for 200zł/approx 40 pounds. Guess who’s waited 6 weeks for a part? - Computer constantly got errors because battery was pretty old and run down often. It was big, bulky and it was under wheel/lpg tank cover so charging it was a breeze (of sweat). Guess who’s brought the used battery and got an encore year later - The LPG installation was Dutch so we have to use the converter (that afterwards could act as Wunderbaum Fresh Gas Leakage”) - there were dvds on the headrests. Never used because it was a mess to get them working - there was a tv too but there was analogue switchover so also unusable - there was gps but ui wasn’t polish (and maps weren’t full coverage) Basically it was a lovely car (or Cheslea tractor) if you don’t get stingy on repairs.

[@jlcii]

Okay, I never understood anyone who hates SUVs. What do you have against a vehicle that is roomy, more safe, and more capable than a mere car?

[@niclasboye375]

@@jlcii Because they actually aren't more roomy (atleast all the "SUV Coupes" we get nowadays, also most small/mid-size SUVs are based on a regular car and therefore having very similar dimensions) and aren't safer (more likely to roll over or tip over when hit in the front corners, higher window line makes it more difficult to see children and other smaller objects like curbs and poles). And how are SUVs more capable than regular cars? They usually have a higher coefficent of drag, which results in more windnoise and fuel consumption, they are heavier (reducing fuel efficiency even further and adding additional wear to most parts) and to make an SUV reasonably sporty manufacturers have to throw in big engine with massive amounts of power. If you really need so much trunk space, just get a Transit or a regular wagon/estate for less money...

[@daveyboiyeah]

@@jlcii Because most of them aren't any safer, nor anymore roomy. If you want a car that can do that, you'd just buy a Renault Espace.

[@Random-nf7qb]

@@jlcii More roomy - not really, in height maybe, but length and width no Safer - not really, harder to avoid accidents, worse braking, worse acceleration, prone to rolling over. More capable? In what? Burning more fuel? In being ugly? A kombi(or estate/wagon whatever you wanna call it) is better in every possible way. And the lifted ones (Allroad, Alltrack, XC70/V90 CC, Scout) have more ground clearamce than most suvs.

I still have tons of pics of my X5 and loved this vehicle.

[@somdusazerate]

I seriously love the X5. my dad has an E53 , or the 1st gen X5, and it's just stupid how it feels so much like the 5 series to drive. the automatic too is just beautiful for its age and the engines have good noise. it is just way beyond nicer than all of its competitors that I've driven, all from the same era. it's no wonder this model did so well. AWD worked well for when it's slippery and with street tires you won't obviously go mudding but all the traction issues of real life driving became non-problems. I started looking to buy my own one of these but ended up leaving the idea as they still retain their value quite well unless they are oil leaking heaps of scrap, which half of them are by now

[@alexandruciobanu7664]

I own a first gen X5. Obviously living in Europe it’s a 3 liter diesel. One major problem with the non facelift model, only on Diesel engine, it’s the GM 5 speed auto gearbox, that usually fails, due to weak components that tend to break when you don’t even expect. Great thing, for the model produced between 2004 and 2007 they upgraded the transmission with a stronger ZF 6 speed auto. Btw, great vid

i've been driving a 2003 X5 4.6is daily for the last 7 years. the only problems i've had were normal maintenance such as replacing valve cover seals, replacing fuel injectors, and replacing the alternator. however, i will admit that i do not have a long commute so have not racked up a lot of miles. my overall impression of my car is that it would be a great hotrod SUV to drive on country roads on a sunny weekend, or to tow a couple of jet skis or small boat to the lake. but it is not a daily driver IMO. the ride is a bit stiff, the gas mileage is not great, and its not the kind of car you want to beat up with a bunch of miles

[@SB-vb8ch]

Let's be honest, BMW had more than the capability to build their own SUV without LR. There were no technologies which weren't fairly easy to replicate at the time for the likes of BMW. BMW had a vision for making the ultimate big margin SUV leveraging the corporate parts bin, just look at L322, it IS a bigger version of the BMW thinking of the era & uses a lot of content directly from the period 5 & 7 series along with a monocoque body with big subframes... X5 was the natural direction for the time, they had the powertrains from other existing vehicles in the lineup as they have been selling vehicles with 4wd into the harsher weather regions. The main benefit though is that you can charge a chunk more for essentially the same hardware due to the perceived value being higher. As an aside the bit of video you showed was an L320 RRS which was actually little to do with BMW as it was post their era plus it actually had a separate chassis!

I got a BMW Gran Tourer compact MPV 220d xDrive instead. The car is smaller than a current X5 which fits in my garage and makes it more practical when trying to find parking spaces in the city. Despite that it still has the 30l larger trunk space resulting in 1905l. Its nearly half a ton lighter, due to that more fuel efficient and the Gran Tourers 20d delivers a performance close to a X5 25d. Due to the smaller required engine the cost for taxes and insurance and the car itself is lower. I look at cars from a practical point of view (as long as they don't look like a Fiat Multipla) and in that regard for my use case the Gran Tourer is by far superior (before anybody complains, I know preferences and use cases can differ, it's MY use case). It's a pity that BMW won't continue the Gran Tourer because people apparently prefer large inefficient SUVs.

We had 2 X5s - the earlier 4.4 and a later 4.8. I did not want to like the first one - on principle - SUVs have always bothered me as excessive. There's no real reason to have one if you live in the suburbs and will never (ever) take the thing off road. It's a party trick, like climbing curbs in parking lots to get show you're too important to wait in the queue. However, as we obviously bought a second, the first one was a welcome surprise. First, it handled well - it felt like a 5 series sedan. Second, it was powerful. Third it got surprisingly decent fuel economy. And 4th, it was versatile as hell. (It also had another party trick - the dual sunroof). The seats were good with the sport option, the stereo was meh (BMW 'business CD' good lord). And so, on to the second; which was eventually traded for the first of two MDX's - the siren song of Japanese tech / cush / price / maintenance cost finally won. There were/are also 2 X3s in rotation as the second car. Phbbt - not my pick and I don't drive it. Like the 3 series of the day, it was a major step down from anything badged as a '5' - much less car.

The original still looks good today. When it was launched it completely trumped the ML in every way and showed Mercedes how it should be done. I'd watched the Frank Stephenson video a while back and I'd highly recommend watching it and the other cars he's designed.

Fantastic video as always! I'd love to see a video at some point about the Volkswagen Audi Group! Very interesting partnerships I must admit. Thank you very much for keeping us all entertained and educated.

That would be a monster video! Thanks for the suggestion.

The first x5 is still a nice model to own and is also ULEZ compliant.

A great horror movie in the making, leaving in the morning and never know if you’ll ever get back.......

Ah ☺️ Thank God someone is paying respect the X5 history. I wish Donut Media channel would do a review too

At last this guy has gotten a proper long-term sponsor. Looks like a great product, really really hope they introduce new.....things soon. Jokes aside, great video once again. Now for that NSU/ Wanderer/Horch and at kast VW that everybody (well) is craving. Again, jokes aside - maybe Mitdubishi Colt? There is a cheaky connection with Smart and Daimler, with some engines shared, something to do (I suppose) with The Netherlands and the NED Car.

I thought about doing a Mitsubishi, just so I can work our what Mitsubishi's long term plan is for car production. From the west it seems sporadic. I thought of doing the 3000GT as it's cool, but thanks for the suggestion of the Colt.
