Because of this review, I'm very much considering buying a used X5 M 2017-2018 40-60k km, but I'm worried about the ride comfort. Can you ask your friend which tires he is using and how actually comfortable it is, maybe comparing to non M X5 with DDC or similar? Thank you very much for your reply.

I bought the 2016 X5M right around the time this video came out and I think the same as you. yes the new one beat the old one but you would never be able to notice that little bit of difference in performance unless they were next to each other. mine launches pretty hard and if that weren't enough I could just tune it. now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying all that because Im hating on the new one or because I can't afford it lol but you just get a lot more for your money with the F85. with that being said. the new one is gorgeous and one day I'll buy that one too when it 50% off lol

[@executiveinvestments]

ur joking right? The F95 is miles ahead of an F85. You couldnt tell unless they were next to each other? lol Not even close to being true. Its a night and day difference.

[@TonyKimtheamusementparkfan]

To me, I've always been a fan of the F15 BMW X5, and most certainly the F85 X5 M. I think it has aged very well, both inside and out. It still looks very modern, and it proves that you don't need the most technological cabin to have a great interior. I think the interior and exterior are modern enough to where it'll age very well. I also think it looks a lot better than the current one tbh. But one thing you can't deny is the power of both with that lethal 4.4L twin turbo V8 engine.

Though you need a test between the X3M Comp and the new X5M Comp, the X3M is faster for sure than both my old F10 M5 and the old X5M.

[@BobsGT235]

You can thank your countries noise law for the quieter exhaust on the new X5M. It wasn't in place a few years ago. Plus the old X5M exhaust is no doubt worn out a bit. Also Joe, since you're older, you were a bit slow on applying the brakes for the braking test. But it was a great video and there is nothing wrong with the older F85. You do realize that the F85 has piped in intake and exhaust noise also. Many F85 reviews said that even with the rear air suspension, the vehicle rides to firm.

[@k.c.6846]

The X5M and X5M comp have the same exact size wheels, exhaust etc. Difference is a competition mode which gives 17hp more due to a timing tune when in that mode. Oh, and 9k more to have the comp package. I passed and have the X5M and it moves quickly, very quickly.

[@executiveinvestments]

great video guys, its better having the two cars to compare with two different people. I would chose the older version also as I drive a 50D, admittedly I love the noise of the older one as it sounds like it should.

[@hsmedsvik]

If there was a whole new engine or a revolutionary new design I would maybe get it, but there isn’t, so you are basically getting a similar car and engine at 1/3 or even 1/4 of the price. It’s one of the best USED performance SUV’s available considering it’s performance and value for money. It’s also a bit of a wolf in sheep’s clothing considering it does 0-60 in the same time as a same model year M3/M4 due to the x-drive vs RWD. I’ve had the exact same opinion comparing to the new X5M and this video just convinced me to keep mine and rather extend the warranty and tune the engine up, all at a fraction of the new price. Thanks guys.

[@siraff4461]

Excellent. I wonder what the results would be if they were both mapped. Same hardware but the older one is lighter which may have played a part in the brake test.

[@Bruv-]

You can visually see the difference in ride comfort between the two vehicles

[@Robwilli]

In all honesty, I prefer the looks of the F85 more than the G05. Not saying i don't like nor that I wouldn't get a G05 X5M, because I do. But ultimately I do like more the F85 in all aspects. Which also brings me to another point, that I rather increase the power on the F85 with a tune to be on par or better than the G05 comp.

[@executiveinvestments]

lol NO tune will bring you on par with the F95. Stock F95's are well over 700hp.

I need to do a transmission fluid, filter, and solenoid change on it so it can run smooth again. I just bought the 2017 X5M at 59k mileage a couple weeks ago. Love it. I paid $38000 for my 2017 BMW X5M. $130k for the newest BMW X5M competition. If you going to race your X5M then spend that extra $90 if you got the money.
