The 2024 BMW X5 M Competition Is The Ultimate Driving Sport Sedan Disguised As An SUV

Is worth every penny of it and I love it. Just so fun to drive around as your everyday car. Very fast and the sound is incredible. I wouldn't recommend buying a used BMW as with any luxury vehicles they tend to go bad after 100k and fixing is extremely expensive so I don't keep my car longer than 7yrs depending how much mileage I put on..

You do the math, probably closer to $450k gross income to “comfortably” afford a $150k car in my book if you include 8% sales tax and a 6.5% interest rate. Assuming an income tax around 35%.

It's actually a 4yr 50k/mile warranty. You can also extend that out for a reasonable cost. Keep in mind anyone dropping $140k on a Luxury SUV like this won't own it past about 3-4 years. It's not meant for normal people like us. Lol

Great video, what a monster that is. I really enjoy my 22 X5 40i its really smooth. The competition isn’t my cup of tea, too pricey and too much power, i’d be bankrupt in speeding tickets. I was following the refresh on the road and agree with you the blinker light show is terrible

[@s.c.1972]

I’m curious what your thoughts are on this compared to a Cayenne? I cross chopped an X5 M competition against the Cayenne GTS. The Cayenne is slightly down on power, but when you drive them back to back, you don’t notice it. I felt like the BMW had more standard features, but the Cayenne was way better in terms of driving dynamics and sportiness. If I was buying a high-performance SUV based on price and specs you would think the X5 is the one to get but when you drive them, the one that put the biggest smile on my face was the Porsche. The exhaust is even better than the X5… 😜. Have you done a review of a cayenne GTS?

[@TheSnoopy1750]

Agree. If you want a big bruiser, get the BMW but if you can appreciate sophisticated engineering and handling, the GTS is the obvious choice.

@Foreign84 There are two types of BMW drivers. Either they can afford to buy it or lease it and if they choose to buy out the lease or keep it after the warranty runs out they have enough money to pay for maintenance and repairs. The other group is "POSERS " who overextend themselves to drive around in a vehicle they can't afford to try to impress people they have never met while pretending to be wealthy. The latter group complains about unreliability because they have delayed the expensive maintenance that comes with a luxury vehicle which leads to inevitable repairs that they can't afford. BMW has very high owner satisfaction and retention rates so they must be pleasing their customers.

It just doesn’t make sense financially to buy the X5M. Last year I was thinking about getting the latest X4M, but after driving it and comparing it to the X4 M40i, it just didn’t make sense to pay extra for 0,6 second faster car and for 330km max speed which I will never try to reach. This year I am considering to switch to a BMW X5 M60i, and the X5M doesn’t make any sense financially. You buy the most powerful X5 for 30-40k less, which more comfortable than the M and a slightly bit slower. For 5K you can buy a full body kit extensions of carbon fiber, do a full PPF + Ceramic coatic and make it look better than the X5M aaand is cheaper. I think this car only makes sense to get when you have F.U money, and you just want to make a statement. But this is just my point of you.
