[@caribbeangtr8077]

Great video by the way; love the humor too "look at the size of that thing" . I must admit that since BMW came off their High Horse and decided to go turbo and 4WD, all their vehicles are a pleasure to drive. The combination of power, boost, and transmission shifting makes it seamless to drive. The V8 twin-turbo in the cars are very capable and all it requires to make one as good as the other is software change of both the engine and transmission. I wouldn't buy a SUV V8 however because its likely to be the vehicle that I'm going to spend a lot of time in 6 days a week, and honestly, there isn't much this 500-700 HP X5 is going to do that the 3.0 twin-turbo will not in a Country where the speed limit is 85 MPH. Afterall, the 3.0 is upward of 300 HP which is more than enough to drive around town and give lively driving and not send you to the gas station every single day. I don't mind 700 HP in the M5 Competition to treat myself once in a while. On the last note, I have a very serious issue with BMW's reliability; its almost like its not on their checklist. This means owning a $95K vehicle is going to be a lease, or I'm going to sell it after warranty, or simply live with the high repair cost. Such a pity for such fine driving experience.

You do you review pretty much in order: History; Front end; Body; Rear; Wheels; Inside dash; Inside amenities; Engine Driving experience. Basically speaking that seems to be the method.

the most important things, in my humble opinion, are the anti-roll system and the ability of the adaptive suspension to make a ride comfortable (more so than X5 M). Powerful engine and great straight line acceleration is not that fun when the body rolls a lot or the ride is too harsh. Dynamic Handling package and the adaptive suspension are wonderful and make this beast an all around great car.

I'd say this is the perfect X5 as it's sporty enough but with a focus on comfort as well. X5M and X5M Competition are balls to the walls fast but the added cost for a little extra handling, extra tire changes and very expensive carbon ceramic brakes don't really seem worth it when this SUV is actually faster than the original X5M yet has all of the comfort and flies under the radar.

That's what I'm waiting for LOL! My aunt(also my boss) is currently driving a 2019 X5 50i(no M on badge cuz its released on 2019). when I'm driving her car, I just feel the V8 is way too powerful and a little bit hard to control sometimes.. plus the car is kind of heavy. thus the handling experience in my point of view is just average. Maybe after a couple years, if she wants to change another new car, I would like to buy cheap from her!~ =) well done!~

True it has a lot of power. It just flies down the road. The good thing about the X5 is that it can handle better than you might imagine.

Why is it these days people get mad that you don’t have ac seats in the rear. I really don’t care because how many time are you going to use it if you always driving. At least you have 4 AC vents in the rear so that will cool the seats enough. Back in the day we was luck to have ac vents in the back we didn’t even have heat or cool seat and we didn’t ask or need it. I don’t even need heat or cool seat in the front and when I did have heated seat I don’t even use it a lot.
