2024 BMW X5 Xdrive 40i: TEST DRIVE+FULL REVIEW

[@DanVick-jz1kc]

This is a gorgeous suv. This and the cayenne are the two suvs with the best driving dynamics

Agreed Dan glad you like it!! 👍🏼

Mr Audi ordering a BMW X5? 🤔😆

[@maxaudi2804]

@@Kwaminho haha. Had to man. I couldn’t get the Audi A6 Allroad and so why not. There has to be a reason why the BMW is a top selling luxury SUV. And MAX was in honor of the 1998 Nissan Maxima which I loved as one of my earlier sport sedans. I certainly missed the black on white analog guage cluster.

[@B58joaquin]

just turned in my 2021 lease for the 2024 and man what an incredible car. I don't like using the word perfect but its pretty damn close. can't name a better suv for this price point

[@Trackhawk_Gle53]

Would you consider it better than the GLE 450 ?

[@johnmuzic3475]

I just got a brand new 2024 X5 40i mild hybrid also a few weeks ago, I agree w/u, can't think of a better SUV for this price..almost perfect solid German build quality, beautiful interior and exterior (women seem to go crazy for this car, don't know why)..amazing sound system, tech, safety, feels like it has 500 hp, not 400...ECU aftermarket tune gives 125+ more hp and torque from what other owners who did it say..but that would be an extra $3,000..not sure if I'm gonna do it or not..next yr I'd like to trade up to either the X5 60i or the X7 60i..anyway and it handles like a dedicated german sports sedan...wide 315mm width rear tires, staggered width, very big powerful brakes...just wow..

[@B58joaquin]

@@johnmuzic3475 totally agree. im a bit late but you should definitely modify it lightly. ecu tune should only be $1k - $1.2k. down pipe and tune is roughly 3k and that should give you about 250 whp more. thinking about buying this lease to do just that!

How do you like the seats? Do they feel as good as the leather? Hold up as well or better/worse?

Just order one. Like these seats over the leather. Way more comfortable but gonna miss the leather smell.

[@WTFCRLT1]

Can’t speak on how well they hold up, but initially they feel no worse than 99% of leather seats. Might even feel better than the genuine leather you’d get from other luxury manufacturers.

Great review. Beautiful refresh but BMW is going to quickly ruin the great B58 engine with iDrive 8. It's so unsettling that many states have hands free laws yet these automakers continue to design systems that require you to take your eyes off of the road for 3+ seconds to perform such simple tasks such as turning down the AC or turning on the heated seats. Not to mention all of the icons don't fit on the screen at once.

The ride quality here is excellent. It’d be better with fatter tires but then you’d compromise handling. Very good balance but I don’t think many people would find this cars ride anywhere near harsh 👍🏼

Great review and you live in my hometown Everytime I head out to buy a bimmer with that six I get to a price point where if I add a bit more I can get a Porsche And I do Hard time dealing with Tampa Porsche and I end up at Bert smith Did purchase an Audi A8 that mrs reeves had before me. Never ventured into bmw but maybe I will this time. Wife wants an x5 or merc gle. That three year maintenance program is enticing. Benz charges Porsche prices for service. 300 for an oil change That’s just stupid. Who was that salesman you mentioned? Wife leaves town in august so that’s when I plan on doing a deal Thanks again for a to the point well informed review. An X3 with the same motor would be a hoot and I could save a bundle as well. Let me know what you think. Want a smooth ride so I lean towards the 5

[@WTFCRLT1]

Hell yeah man hope you can get a killer deal before you leave! Definitely go to bmw of Tampa and ask for Aramis, Cameron, or Julian!

[@MT-xl8jy]

Thanks but it’s only the wifey heading across the pond and the shopping experience is cramped when she’s present. Lol you may know what I mean. Regardless this X5M40i would be my choice but I know she would go with the merc. When I visit Fowler I will ask for who you believe has the most power in deciding my out the door cost. I think I can get a gle450 for around the same? You like this car more correct?
