This looks phenomenal! You get a lot with this car. BMW North America (DMV) area this goes for USD135k-base. This IS one of the best cars anyone can buy with family or not! The trunk space is awesome! The 3.3-3.5 is absurd for an SAV. This is not a full fledged sports car keep in mind.

Awesome video mate - thanks for putting this one together. Had my pre-LCI for 3 years and 30k miles and can say that it does absolutely everything you want from a family SUV but at the same time gives you a real smile when you push on. It’s genuinely a do it all car and can handle anything you throw at it with aplomb. The only car I’d look to replace it with is another X5M or the M5 Touring when that’s released.

Another top notch video Joe, great to watch 🙏. Went for a 50E as a daily as plenty of poke and better ride. New dashboard is great, but the retro fit on the revamp has left the cockpit dials at an angle when the steering wheel is straight. Once you’ve seen it it’s difficult to unsee it, otherwise great car and faultless 6,000 miles and counting…

I’d love one of these but I just couldn’t justify the extra £40K spend and so in 2021 I ordered my X5 M50i (Performance) - pre LCI of course- and it still puts a smile on my face every journey. Not sure I’m a fan of the new BMW dash setups ie: elongated screen with a serious lack of physical buttons. Thnx for a superb vid.

I had an X3M for 3 years, loved it at the time, though it was not a great city car (side-to-side jostling and lack of low end torque). Now I drive a G80 M3, and it's darkened my opinion of the X3M. Though the X3M could perform more than expected, it's not in the same league as the M3. In a fast corner, the X3M felt high and heavy; the M3 feels like it belongs. The X5M seems like a much better performance SUV than the X3M, given its ride and torque range, and I think its proportions are better. But I guess I'm now one of those snobby M car drivers who looks at the X3M and X5M and asks "WHY???"
