2021 BMW X5 xDrive40i Review | Nearly Perfect

[@jamfunkr1]

Proud owner of a 2021 BMW, X5 xDrive40i, M sport package...all options except luxury seat option...absolutely love it! as for the person that stated the "Gv80 is better"...I owned nothing but Hyundai and Genesis vehicles for the last 10+ years...they are good vehicles...however, from a performance, engineering, overall workmanship, and craftsmanship perspective...I believe that BMW is light-years ahead of Genesis!

[@TheGoMeesh]

Do you still love your car? Maintenance costs?

[@BeamerTime354]

@@TheGoMeeshI have the M50i, $200 oil changes, those tires are $2300 for a set. Been very reliable so far with 40k miles. The B58 in the 40i is one of the most reliable motors on the market.

[@simonliu1728]

The base X5 XDrive40i is the sweet spot for the X5 line up

[@nafnaf0]

I think the X5 xDrive45e is superior especially with the $7,500 US tax credit. It comes with the Air Suspension as standard ($1000 option on the 40i) which results in a very nice ride and you can use it in EV range. The batteries do add weight but lower the CG overall and results in very low body roll and a dynamic response that is very impressive for its massive weight. The combined electric and ICE power torque curves compliment each other well (as I have heard). It is more things to break, you have to plug it in, which might be annoying, and the charging time is terrible, but overall it seems to be a great. They say they have the same 0-60, but the e has 389HP combined, vs. 335HP for the i

[@witenoise78]

How do you like it?

[@malidawgz5690]

you only have to move the shifter left to use the shifter knob to manually shift.. But if just press the the paddle during normal driving it will automatically manually shift. It will also automatically change back to auto mode as well which is my opinion is an ideal setup.

[@clayton8465]

Just bought one. Executive! In white.

[@GMan-SRT8]

I was just at York BMW last week and I looked at this car you just tested. I currently own a 2020 X5 40I Xline version. I love the M-sport option and thinking about getting the M50i which is the V8 performance model of this vehicle. Overall, I love the X5...impressive power with the inline twin-turbo six. Thanks for the good accurate review :)

[@amandaflorianni6225]

😍

[@mattX5]

It’s not a twin turbo. Single twin-scroll turbo.

[@GMan-SRT8]

@@mattX5 BMW uses fancy marketing by calling it a "twin power turbo" which is like you said a single twin-scroll turbo. It still fast and I'm sure has more HP then what's advertized. This is how BMW explains it...."BMW TwinPower Turbo systems offer similar power to a twin turbo system with more efficient power delivery, less weight and in a smaller package".

[@SolutionsWithin]

Can I please ask your opinion? I'm debating between 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class AMG E 43 4MATIC and the 2021 BMW X5 xDrive40i. I live in Toronto, so some winters we get a lot of snow. Usually melts within a few days, but sometimes we get really dumped on. If I need to drive it in deep snow, do you think the BMW SUV would handle it better? I would much rather buy the Mercedes for comfort and luxury etc., but I'm not sure if a sedan is good enough for days with deeper snow. I appreciate any advice : )

[@alexc.1112]

[@KC-bv9kf]

Very informative review. Pretty much the same as your other reviews, practical answers for real consumers. I narrowed down to this vs a model y. I think I will go with luxury and comfort while waiting for Tesla get their game past novelty.

[@asimmahmood397]

One more optional cool feature on X5 is dash cam. I believe this X5 which you tested had too. You can set it up to record in case of an accident or impact. You can set it to record 10 to 30 seconds before to after the impact. You can also choose of guy want only front or all cameras to record. You can also manually record by pressing and holding camera button on left of shifter. You can also set up your cellphone to be used as a key fob. So don’t have to carry keys again.

[@karolinakarolina4053]

This one isnt fully loaded also have night vision cam

[@stanleylee4294]

Went car shopping for the wife, who prefers SUV's. Initially looked at the X3, but wanted 6cycl. The X3 6 was only 4 or 5k less than base X5 and once I test drove the X5, it was all over. Traded out of Lexus RX350, there is no comparison in my opinion. to be fair the Lex was 2016. Bought this one for the wife but I feel like taking it from her,,,, but she won't let me drive it LOL

[@jjayallan]

Your reviews are PERFECTION in action👌I hope you review the V8 also

[@BrianMaguire]

Ordered one also the other day. Will take 8 to 10 to get. We got the M Sport package. Come with the 20 inch rims. Those rims shown cost more. The painted calipers shown don’t cone with the package but they can be added on for $650. The package also upgrades you to the Sensatec (fake) leather to the Vernasca (real) leather.

[@starrysarry]

8-10 months? Or weeks? We ordered an x5 last month. Wondering how long will it take

[@dbh2765]

Most important addition for 2021 is that it’s now a mild hybrid. 48v. It’s awesome. Just picked it up. Makes a huge difference. Surprised you didn’t mention it.

[@raybutts9133]

trickle charging using the under hood terminals can be a bit of a challenge on the 2021.

[@dbh2765]

@@raybutts9133 I dont know what this means. The 48v battery is recharged with braking and wheel spin. You can see it charging or assisting the engine in acceleration in the energy flow window

[@raybutts9133]

@@dbh2765 DO A SEARCH ON THE NET FOR: BMW EFFICIENT DYNAMICS. Most of the BMWs since around 2011 have incorporated this system. Battery in BMW car is recharged from braking and coasting. as opposed to the alternator. If you do alot of short trips this could become a problem with the battery not getting up to full charge. This is why I use a trickle charger occasionally. The MILD HYBRID which the 2021 BMW X5 4.0 has (not the 2019 or 2020 model) is a different subject. You should also search this out on the net for a good explanation of this concept. I was having difficulty trickle charging the battery from the under hood contact points in my 2021 X5. As a result of this I was directed to CONNECT charger directly to the ACM battery in the trunk. Check with your authorized BMW dealer before attempting to do this.

[@gregoryoliver2404]

@@raybutts9133 i have a 2019 X5 (non hybrid) it stays parked until the weekend, drive it msybe once a week or every other week, could this be a problem keeping the battery charged because of non ops?

[@raybutts9133]

@@gregoryoliver2404 In my opinion, yes you should employ the use of a SMART CHARGER like the CTEK 5.0 during the 5 to 10 day period when you are not driving the car. Look in the BMW owners manual as it will tell you where the connection points are under the hood. Just make sure that you are using a smart charger . BMW also sells one that is very close to the CTEC 5.0 but of course it is more expensive. I believe that CTEC makes them for BMW?

[@danielmelendez9943]

I am currently in the market for a new car. I have a 2011 MDX with SH-AWD and a 300HP engine. As a long time Acura Customer, I was inclined to testing a Acura MDX Advance, to my surprise, I tested the car but I extremely disappointed with the quality of the ride, the long hood, the lack of power and the interior just seemed ok. Certainly, it did not wow me or it did not scream luxury, let me not forget Where was the so called performance that Acura talks about in their marketing. I digress, I am now looking for a BMW X5, I am trying to figure out which year would be a better buy 2021 or 2022, as I am looking to buy pre-owned. I feel German cars are somewhat a bit of a money pit but they live up to the performance. Would appreciate your thoughts and advice. your assistance and advice are welcome & appreciated.
