2023 BMW X5 xDrive 40i | Start up, Walkaround, POV, Test Drive and Review

[@jtcr91]

I just purchased this as my first SUV and i am completely in love with it!!! One of the best luxury SUVs on the market 💯💯

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sweet! The X5 is one of the best SUV's on the market!

[@Amarnath2k2]

Great to hear that 🦾

[@carlossaavedra1973]

What was the price on it

[@justsomerandomguyman]

This is the best color combo, IMO. Manhattan Green Metallic + Cognac interior = awesome.

[@mariaedwards2721]

Traded in my ‘13 X5 for this exact version yesterday, went with 21” wheels and Perelli’s. Love, love, love everything about this SUV.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice! We are big fans of the X5. Really solid SUV!

[@karmen2323]

Just ordered 2024 X5. Can't wait for it to get here.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice! Congrats!!

[@gosman949]

are you glad you waited for that fancy screen with air conditioner controls in the screen? ugg!

[@hamidmghazi]

Thank God it still has the older dash layout!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I like this layout. I'm sure the new one is coming tho! I like the new design on some of the cars

[@waic1639]

Love the paint color on this BMW X5, very sharp!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah it’s such a good color! Sleek and yet it pops

I have one, just got it in November and love it.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Nice! Great SUV!

[@jjy1463]

Great video, beautiful car. Note that Sensafin is not leather. It is very durable and easy to keep clean but is not animal hide.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Does any modern vehicle today have leather from animal hide? If there is, I’ve never seen one.

[@ethana763]

Lots of vehicles have real leather. lol @@BrosFOURRSpeed

[@livewoutlimit]

Great review! Love that you pointed out the backseat recline which is almost a deal breaker for me. Please include whether it comes w/spare tire or not, too!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah the Q8 has a better back seat I think. I think it's available to have a space saver spare

[@gosman949]

the back seat doesn't recline at all?

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

This will be my first SUV!! Good video bro.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It’s a cool bmw for sure!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@davidrx795 You mean “liar” lol

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@davidrx795 Why would you say that?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@davidrx795 You never know someone’s situation, but I wouldn’t agree with that statement because I bought my Audi R8 which cost $80K while I was making $50K at the time. Interest rates are high right now but my payment is under $1K. So if you budget right and are smart with money, you don’t have to be making twice the price of a car to afford it!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The X5 is a great SUV for sure!

[@matthewc7473]

Love your reviews! To the point, has personality, and pickup on things other reviewers don’t! I was curious your thoughts on a 2021 or 2022 BMW X5 40i vs Range Rover? I would like something extremely comfortable, soft, and quiet on the freeway. I also travel on access roads and service roads so it would be nice to have some off road capability (Nothing extreme like rock crawling). Would appreciate any feedback! Thanks as always for a stellar review :)

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Thanks! Both are great options! I like the Range Rovers, but I see a lot of issues pop up with them. So for me, I'd go BMW for the reliability. Range Rover will be a bit softer on road and more off road capable than the X5. But if it's more just general trail, the X5 can certainly do it well. My brother just bought a hybrid X5 and we went dirbiking with it. Trailed the bikes through some gravel roads and it was very nice.

[@matthewc7473]

@@BrosFOURRSpeed thanks for getting back to me. I really appreciate it! Yeah, I would definitely be more general trails, no rock climbing or anything, so I think that X5 would probably be the better option. Definitely gives me the peace of mind knowing it’s a bit more reliable too. Thanks again and happy holidays to you and your fam!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@matthewc7473 You too! Yeah you can’t go wrong! X5 is the class leader in reliability too! Great option!

[@CheezWhiz360]

why did you get halloween color interior? a simple black/brown would have been perfect

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

I don’t own this car, but the interior color is a personal preference. So someone will enjoy having this and others will want something else. Doesn’t make one right over the other. If you want a more simple interior, great, but not everyone will want that either.

[@gosman949]

in Texas, we hate black interior. Hot hot hot!

[@ClasssicAri]

No usb ports in the rear?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Just usb-c’s, lots of companies are only using those now.

[@Amarnath2k2]

Incredible machine 🔥

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It really is!

[@imranabbasi7871]

Bmw 👍

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It's a sweet BMW!

[@jdub_vdub]

Very nice, thankfully it doesn’t have the weird Hyundai headlights.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Lol I like the headlights to be honest on the X7. Looks soo cool

[@robertallen5210]

That's a Sensafin vinyl interior by the way.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Sensatec is what they call it. Most automakers have synthetic leather unless you upgrade to a genuine material

[@kbw.rvwhntr]

Despite this being the step below the M Competition, I'm surprised at how quiet the engine sounds. Talk about a smooth sounding take. Not sure why they took away the reclining rear seats but some features they're getting rid of in a lot of vehicles, is quite astonishing.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah the I6 is a quiet motor in comfort mode. Weird they took away the reclining seats. Still a solid choice tho and they drive so nice!

[@davidstevenson2188]

Yeah I have a 2022 and was surprised the rear seats don't recline because the rear seats are tight without it and sit a bit upright.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@davidstevenson2188 Yeah the 2020 I believe has reclining seats. Very odd to take that out

[@JohnCillian]

I was about to purchase this but found out they don't offer the Bowers and Wilkins premium audio unless you get the higher x5m trim that cost +100k.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

For me that’s not a deal breaker at all, even their “standard” audio systems are good. I wouldn’t let that deter you but everyone is different.

[@aps2312]

Northlake is THE best!!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

They are a nice dealer!

[@lilbuddylee131]

Car reviewers have to stop calling everything all-new. This is not even refreshed. It's a great car, but calling it all new is the same as calling tilt wheel, and A/C features on a car with cloth seats and manual adjustments then calling that fully loaded.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Yeah I hear you on that

[@alexpark8515]

X5 vs x3 m40i?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Just depends on if you need the extra space. Both are great!

[@jnq2088]

Just can't believe it's green...

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

The camera can throw it off some, but check one out in person and you’ll see!

[@jnq2088]

Aha I like it, looks really premium

[@gosman949]

Who all likes the 2023 better than the 2024 with the fancy screen?

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

It seems to be 50/50. My brother has a 22 and likes the screen better. The newer screen is nice too, but everyone will have a preference.

[@gabriellegutzwiller8144]

The big screen seems intimidating.. and screams tech problems😮

[@gosman949]

@@gabriellegutzwiller8144 they all do!

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@gabriellegutzwiller8144 the smaller screen won’t have tech problems? They are both the same just different sizes..

[@rickyr1969]

I can't get my dealer to confirm whether the X5 has massaging seats as a standard feature or if that is a premium option. The website does not offer an option when you try to build a vehicle.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

Hmm, I believe it’s an option because I have seen X5’s without it. Interesting they can’t confirm that. Maybe this bmw dealer can!

[@jenishpatel605]

They don’t offer Ventilated Seats or massaging seats anymore. It was the “Luxury Seating Package” option that BMW discontinued sometimes around August’22. However, they still offer that on the X5 45e.

[@BrosFOURRSpeed]

@@jenishpatel605 I just drove a 23 X5 with messaging seats!

@@BrosFOURRSpeed - sorry you couldn’t have unless it was X5 45e or an M / full M. So please stop lying, not good for your subscribers

@@dgdave2673 How I was I lying? I simply stated an X5 has massaging seats, that’s true. I didn’t say all trims levels do.

Just a FYI, the sensafi leather, is vegan. So it's not real leather ;)
