[@mary-roserussell8097]

The condensation in the headlights is now a normal thing for many newly designed cars. I come from the old school where that was a no-no because we all had sealed headlight units. But apparently many newly designed headlight units are not now sealed and therefore condensation does get in behind the front face. The reason I know this is that I have a new Audi Q8 and it " suffers " from the same thing. The car came with the new lazer lights which are superb. However on an Audi Q8 owners forum we all discovered that we had this condensation and when we queried this with Audi UK they said that it was a normal occurence and was not a problem as the units are designed in that way !

[@ukaszpaluch4950]

Bad design then

Why won't they (Audi UK) accept it as a design/production flaw instead of defending it as if it's normal and okay for a headlight to behave that way. Condensation inside the headlight of $60k+ car is unacceptable

We very recently had a X5 50e as a rental on holiday (Italy) and boy am I now grateful for our GLC at home....(traveling with my wife and 2y old in a child-seat) The suspension was ok but the response to the throttle was all over the place, no way to just comfortably cruise. With lighter input to the throttle it was slow to react or with ever so slightly more to harsh so that it jumped off... Also the horrible "split boot" is so annoying to anyone wanting to load or unload anything but Golf-Bags.... AC only works with the key in the car, and the driver pushing the brake... WTF... in 34+C Weather in a black SUV the size of a Barn with black leather Seats?!? And IF it could work otherwise, I don't want to flick through a) hundreds of TouchMenus OR b) needing extra steps or instructions. Car in Park, ignition on, AC On. Period.

[@Paul-fg6mk]

Meanwhile, BMW sells more of this than the GLC. "The horrible split boot is so annoying." It's more than "horrible," it's a crime against humanity, don't you think? I bet you even whine when someone offers you the best Italian gelato.

[@CraveMac]

You are just so wrong about the self park function. It can struggle in areas where you tried (with unmarked bays) but overall it’s genuinely impressive

[@AI-Records24]

Used to work for a rental company and we put the auto park against each other from the x5 and the Citroen C8 (iirc) the Citroen didn’t know what to do with itself and couldn’t get anywhere near the space even when you made it really simple for the car. The X5 went straight into even quite complex situations. Weird as I would have imagined it’d be the same system sold by Bosch or whatever, maybe it is and the sensors are the problem idk but there’s a night and day difference. Wouldn’t ever use it in real life as I can drive but it was fun to pass the time in work😅

The B57 engine is absolutely fantastic, rivalled only by its petrol B58 sibling, and it runs so effortlessly in my G31.

"Don't write diesel off yet" Yes I agree. I replaced my 450hp straight 6 3-series with a G30 520D ED Sport Line, and the milage/range is simply unbelievable. I regularly go 1200-1300km between re-fuelling, and some months (!) I don't even visit the gas station.

[@Dranzell]

What's the point of getting a high range? It's not like you're going to the desert or something. Also, when you pay over 50k for a car, is gas price really a problem? The only thing diesels are good at is towing. So if you have a trailer, caravan, sure.

THat light condensation is completely normal thing in all modern LED main lights due to the fact that LED does not heat up as normal lightbulbs or xenon lights used to. So conedensate appears due to difference temperature difference from outside and inside the headlight. Manufacturers try to "battle" this by applying silica strips or similar stuff which "pulls" humidity onto themselves inside the headlights. So this condensation is a result of something like "Low quality" manufacturing but a physics fact

The suspension looks like its going up first because the front goes down first lol

I have the 2024 X5 M60i. Love it. Such a great daily driver!

[@DexterCZEvict]

BMW should fix the fog issues with lights! What a emberasing for that brand ... I had same problem with Mini..

[@juhakiviranta6317]

Owesome verdikt👍 I own the 45e hybrid. The non facelift version. What a machine❤️👌

So happy BMW is going direct to consumer sales. Sorry Carwow, but I don’t need a dealer to sell me a car. Dealerships charge a markup for a product, but don’t provide any value to the buyer for the money paid. It’s such an outdated system and long overdue to be going away.

rear legroom isn't better than x3 and less than gle?😮

18:40 Finally, I truly don't understand the hate towards diesels. Governments have gotten it into their heads that diesels should disappear. I think, however, that there is still a future for them because they are very fuel efficient, strong and reliable.

All fuel cars are inefficient and emit tailpipe pollution - time to get rid !

[@LucasBatistussi]

That color is really nice ! It’s like the car is wrapped

I have a 2009 Kia rio. Manual windows, no central locking, just cheap, no frills motoring. In my opinion, my car represents motoring at its best. The pure essence of what a car should be. I believe it's the best car I've ever had and up there with the best cars in the world.

'Vegan interior' = vinyl seats.

I wonder why car manufacturers hate their customers so much that they totally destroy the ergonomics.. 🙄

[@bimlico]

Why this relentless move by many manufacturers to move away from buttons and put so much onto screens. It's both dangerous and stupid.

The down side of the sunroof is it goes to the top but if you have a 2014 model (I have one) it goes down so it opens more

Moisture in the headlights really demonstrate how German cars are just straight up crap now. They throw a bunch of tech at the car but then have 0 quality control. Bring back German cars of the 80s/90s.

[@raghavmanickam2639]

The funniest part is that the one light switch which has a button is the rear foglight, which is probably the most rarely used light in any car. We need buttons!!

[@arlind530d]

Condensation in headlights is normal in some weather circumstances water droplets is not it means headlights is leaking

[@SDav21]

It's amazing how this makes the GLE look so cheap. The GLE has truly awful build and material quality and Mercedes has done nothing to fix it with the facelift GLE.

[@syedarmaghanhassan4652]

18:35 what nonsense? the speed-limit signboard should be in the direction of traveling (direction of the movement of the car), which is left side of the road for on-going drivers.. why is it there on the right-hand-side, for the incoming drivers, who can't even see it?

[@FIREBIRD_2024]

BMWs new indicators are odd. Reminds me of the Mazdas indicators.

[@FABM27]

I own a 2018 BMW 530i Touring in Blue Metallic with lots of options and white leather interior with 95000 km on the clock. Should I keep my car or sell to spring for this??

[@maekwata]

Most of the negatives are not X5 LCI but new idrive specific

[@karldonald8150]

Wow, I'd have never guessed you had a folding phone 😂
