Add 200 hp unlocking map by FEMTO (Finland); open the nose to get more air with carbon intake by E-Venturi; de-cat & upgrade the down pipes. That’s it.

[@carycoller3140]

I met Eddie at the Chicago International Auto Show press day this year. Dude is super tall and super kind.

[@EddieX]

Thanks for the kind words! It was great meeting you and chatting!

[@dudeasp1]

Sounds super 👌 super

[@DRIVEWITHDRAY]

I like these vlog style car videos dude

[@EddieX]

Thanks!! Definitely leaning towards doing more as they seem to be well received.

[@harisqureshi7469]

Great review!! Love the trauma brown! Really liking the channel Eddie (:

[@EddieX]

Thanks so much! Trauma brown certainly works well with the green!!

[@ARentz07]

@@EddieX lol "Trauma" brown!

[@Warrengraff-ym2yj]

X5m is such a baller car

[@EddieX]

Agreed haha. Especially in this spec

[@matt_goes_fast]

The speakers lighting up is very cool. My M850i has the same ones!

[@EddieX]

Such a cool touch!!

[@mondynet]

It’s Bowers and Wilkins

[@duffydon1741]

Eddie is such a cool dude!

[@EddieX]

Haha thanks!!

[@charliethesupebeagle]

I normally don't like green cars, but that one is awesome.

[@WayApp]

Absolutely stunning, pure perfection.

[@KingRelogio]

back seat comfort access is a must.

[@ScottKelley]

Love me some Trauma Brown colored interior!

[@EddieX]

🤣🤣🤣

[@I_am_Monty]

I think bmw is doing some cost cutting. The back doors should have comfort access! Also, you should be able to recline the seat from the boot. My x3m has both features 🤔

[@clemsondds]

Eddie, for a daily...would you pick the x5m or an M8GC? Assuming storage capacity isn't an issue. Also considering panamera GTS and Cayenne Turbo GT. What's your pick? Thanks

[@EddieX]

Personally M8GC cause I like lower center of gravity and seating position. Although if I recall correctly the 8 series GC has a conventional trunk, not the hatchback so it’s not super practical haha.

[@clemsondds]

@@EddieX dang lol I just bought a ‘25 x5m today. I just felt like the m8gc was a little bit of a boat. Plan is to probably trade the x5m on the new m5 when it comes out. Would have gone with a panamera turbo but prices are just so high. I think you get a better value with bmw. I’m sure I’ll trade it in soon on a 911 though ha.

[@Xtalgic]

That interior is ABSURD! wowowow

[@EddieX]

It’s so wild 🔥

[@MrOhMyGawwd]

That green is dope

[@777triathlete]

You can make the speaker lights white while the other ambient lighting is different. That's how I have my M60i set up, and it's choice.

[@wl585858]

Is this a custom color? I didn't see any of this color at CA car delarship.

[@EddieX]

Yep. It’s a special order BMW Individual paint color

[@amwong73]

The suspension is really stiff on it. It’s awesome on the highway and smooth roads, but not ideal for any one who has to drive on brick / rough / bad roads.

[@EddieX]

It definitely rides firm! I didn’t mind it on some not so great Michigan roads but I can also see how it could get tiring.

[@davida7713]

Fit mss adjustable suspension & everything is sorted plus will looks miles better too

[@777triathlete]

This is why I got the M60i. Best of both worlds.

[@KretaBull]

Cheers mate. Good work

[@diznutz5110]

This is NOT 140k worth.

[@chrisr25071]

In Germany the X5m costs 160.000€ , which is 174.000 Us dollars, so it appears to be a fair price in the US not in other countries.

[@johnnygucci9]

It’s actually more. Mine is $137.5K + Tax

[@MvGNify]

In sweden its 180.000$ - 200.000$

[@raulshah]

Hey question - i noticed the M cars have different software design than non M cars. Is there any way to get that software design on a non m car? Like yours has different color schemes and is more vibrant overall.

[@EddieX]

Not sure if the aftermarket has an option for that quite yet.

[@russsafonin9873]

You can use Bimmercode to change the instrument cluster to display M style gauges. I haven’t messed with all the different settings for a while, so there could be more things you can change on a non M car.

[@raulshah]

@@russsafonin9873ok sweet this is what I was hoping for. I know nothing about bimmer code in general and as it pertains to the gauges. How do I get it?

[@adamsdailydriveway]

The run flats do not help with the ride, I replaced my run flats and about 5psi less then max and it’s night and day

[@BAD_GRIM]

I like it a lot !

[@EddieX]

Same here

[@markkenter8123]

My eyes were glued on that A8. I wonder why😅

[@carycoller3140]

Eddie: Do you want pelvic massage? Honey: Oh boy! 😂😂😂😂😂

[@JJ-ce6be]

Have you considered the Tesla Y Performance? It has a faster 0-60 time at 1/3 the price.

[@EddieX]

Absolutely not. There’s more to a performance luxury vehicle than just 0-60 time lol

[@JJ-ce6be]

I completely agree. I used to have a 2016 M235i XDrive. I missed the car, but the maintenance scared me. I recently bought the Tesla M3P- 2023. Nothing has beaten me on the street for the price. The only thing I hate about German cars, with the exception of Porsche is the resale value takes a serious hit overtime.

[@jeromejerome940]

Tesla are fast but LACKS aesthetics...boring!!!

[@JJ-ce6be]

True, but pound for pound nothing can compete with the performance for the $$. Tesla is King.

[@jeromejerome940]

@@JJ-ce6be that is 100% true pertaining to the performance for $$ but the inconvenience of the ⏳️ to charge for example ...taking a trip is what i cannot entertain. And thats the reason why i havent bought 1 even with the .99% interest at the moment

[@koshaa.744]

Personally i had an XM for a month i sold it a month after i bought it with 0 km like my own spec it cost me around 210$k but was it actually worth it? Well if i say in business way yes in personal prespective not that much yes its prespective more comfortable but not 200$k+ comfortable so but so value for money this is 10 times better.... Edit: misspelling

[@jr1885]

I find it interesting that BMW sent you a car without updating iDrive. You’re running iDrive8 when there’s been an OTA update of iDrive8.5.

[@EddieX]

Oh really. Do you know when that was rolled out? I had this about a month ago.

[@jr1885]

@@EddieX it’s been out now for about 9 months. The early built 2024 models (in 2023) originally had iDrive8. BMW later rolled out an update of 8.5. I’m assuming you had one of those early builds.

[@davida7713]

“Run it through the car wash” what you meant is your going to pay sometime to trash up the paint 🤩🤩

[@EddieX]

I don’t think you realize how rough of a life press cars live lol. They definitely get sent through contact car washes often 🫣

$140K for an X5? Hell even brain surgeons can't afford it now...

[@elcapo8596]

Brain surgeons make over 500k so a 140k car spread across 3-4 years is easily affordable

[@aidenp5768]

X5s have always been this expensive, back in the original X5 days 2002-2006 with 4.6is and 4.8is they were mid to late $70k cars, in todays money that was over $105k and that was not an M, an equivalent to like an M50i today

Because the XM is like an extra $60,000???

[@daniellane2493]

BMW XM Drops like an absolute rock

[@santy7187]

Because the XM is horrible! No actual moonroof, and the price of it is not it. It’s barely faster than the X5M too. Waste of money

[@ryanqiu]

Because the X5M is better than the XM

[@luxr6107]

No way you asked this

[@RaphaelNation]

It’s cow dung green. Have they managed to make a reliable engine yet. I will go back to driving BMW’s when they remove all that plastic from the engine bay, specially the cooling system.
