I remember going to the BMW dealership as a highschool kid with my friend and sitting in this car, brand new.. we lusted over it and drooled. What a time it was.

Really? No way. The RR Sport is much better. And as an owner of one, no, reliability isn't bad. In fact it's been great (I'm talking about the 2018-2023 gen L494 facelift)

I have a 2004 X5 in grey, but with the 3 liter straight 6. I love mine. The design was and is gorgeous. BMW designs now are just weird and make no sense. Especially with the monstrous grills.

To draw off a Star Wars line, an elegant vehicle from a more civilized time. You are right to rate this SUV so highly. It is a combination of both nostalgia and BMW excellence, the likes of which we have not seen in a while from this once stellar manufacturer.

Nice video. The smell you mention about the interior is called old car smell. It happens to all cars around 25 years old. In a few years, it will start to smell like moth balls.
@jonathondeeds34234 ай бұрын
Clearly you have never smelled the inside of a brand new BMW 20 years ago, it a very unique smell and not the old car smell you refer to, modern new cads just smell like disposable plastic bags while BMWs back in the day smell like hide and wood.

@ellomirza4 ай бұрын
Agree and disagree. The 4.8 is a much more modern motor. But this definitely is the best looking one. The body is taut and simple but interesting. All subsequent X5 look like they have puny little wheels even with 22 inch rims. They look like ugly bloated minivans.
@aidenp57683 ай бұрын
It’s the negative camber in the rear that you see on X5s without 20s that make them look horrible, but a well kept and maintained X5 with 20s changes the look entirely. Sucks that 90 percent of e53s on the road today are clapped
