2016 BMW X5M Review-An M5 Disguised as an SUV 

This is the best suv ever made

Excellent video. I took a test drive in a new 2018 X5M a few years ago and loved it. I just couldn't see clear to spend a 100K plus on a vehicle. Back in October I took a test drive in the new F95 X5M competition. Within a week I placed a factory order and a month later, I took delivery of my 2021 X5M competition. These things are unbelievable for what they are capable of doing. Keep up the videos.

Hello Ed, I own a 2016 X6M, I couldn't stop myself by dropping these few notes. You have been the source of my info in regards to part of my car operations, my friend, I got to tell you... hands down on your Videos man, I can easily tell that you love doing this, and you do it better than most I've seen, great communication skills as well, keep it up, and thanks for all you do!! You've been helping more people than you thought you may have!!

Hi Eddie, Just bought a 2015 X5M a couple weeks ago. I find your videos super useful. Thanks for teaching me how to work the gadgets in this vehicle.

Love that little smile you throw at the camera after ever crazy acceleration. Well done dude.

Thank you for this amazing review!

Echoing the comments from others, thanks so much for your dedication to these cars Edward! I just purchased a pre-owned 2017, same Donnington Gray as yours and similar options. What an amazing car. I found your comparisons to the X50i super helpful and ultimately went with the M myself. Thanks for explaining the plethora of features/functions in the interior; it’s quite the learning curve and discovery journey. I can also tell you that my gas gauge is usually around where yours is :-) Hope to see you around the streets of NorCal!

This is an amazing machine!

dammm looks so beautiful ...i love the colors outside / inside and the specs

Very nice detailed review. What kind of maintenance issues have you experienced with the X5M?

Picking my 18 up today. Great review! Thanks!

Great video man! Can’t wait to get mine. Hopefully in 5-6 months 😈

Great colour inside and outside,love the x5m snds boss 👌👍

Nice video Ed, this is Hooman from the forums. One thing you might want to look into (which I'm doing as well), is looking to go to the KW V3's to fix the too harsh issue. I also have the same concerns with the ride being a little too harsh when driving around with the family, and so far everyone says the KW's absolutely fix that issue. Not only does the car handle better, but the harshness goes away. Plus you get the awesome lowered stance! 😁🤙

I'm missing my black 20's ...can't wait for winter to be over to stance it out again!

Thanks mate.

Hey, thanks for the video, Ed! Did you get some kind of extended warranty for it?

You said it has the Harman Kardon but it has the B&O too :) nice whip. Think I'll pick 1 up

Ver nice! Sports car ! I myself went for f15 50i 2018 exactly because of comfort... fast enough for Switzerland... comfort and still v8 biturbo ... nice warm engine sound ... 👍

Great video 👍, I have the 2018 model . You mentioned connecting the Xbox and paring with your phone to receive wifi , not sure if yours comes with wifi capabilities but it is available in mines. You should look into it ,it's a paid service. Depending on how long you want to keep the service, there's options in terms of monthly ( $25 ) or yearly options .

Seemed more like a commercial than a review, but I appreciate the attempt. I like the vehicle and will continue to research it as a purchase option.

My fog lights dont come on at all!! Not sure why. The light on the dash comes on to say they are on but the dont

Крутой тест драйв 👌

Hey Eddie - would you recommend buying a 2015 X5M used with 45,000 miles? Price aside - just thinking of reliability with the engine and things to look out for. Thanks for this video!

Love the detail! Curious if you miss features like touchscreen & adaptive cruise control? Deciding between a 2016 X5M & 2018 xdrive 50i.

nice video, Im getting my 2018 x5m wrapped in nardo grey this week!

got mine almost a year ago definitely a beast one con eats gasss

Hey man, great video. Where did you get those black 21" rims at? Private seller or dealership?

Good review. I currently have the X6 M50D and thinking of getting the X5M. A bit worried about the MPG to be honest so not sure yet.

Nice ride and great review !! 1) Does the climate control automatically turn on when you start the car ? 2) Does it have ambient light ? what does the interior look like at night 3) Any reliability issue ?

Thank you for great video, hello from Ukraine!

I've been test driving a 2022 x50i, you may have convinced me to save 50k and go with a pre owned. Is the ride a little harsh compared to other x5s? Any suspension options for someone looking for a smoother ride? Also - did this year come with adaptive cruise control, or anything included in the professional driver assistance packages of 2020-now? Great video, any insight would be appreciated!

Nice video

Great video. Is there any particular year to avoid for the F85 model?

I have the same one, love it and just have to bear with the MPG. Ha Ha.

Hey Edward! I'm also looking into getting a 2016 X5M and after looking at the Carfax report I saw that the Oil pan replaced/repaired at 25k miles. Would this be a red flag for you? If you don't mind, I would love for you to take a look at the Carfax report and let me know your thoughts? Thanks

Is it really necessary to have tv on back, if you have iPad in you’re hands….? 🤔 Best content ever for an bmw xm5 owner

I have a str8 piped n63tu that my wife surprisingly loves , but when we are in the x5m she says it sounds like the car farts 😩.... so now ima have to str8 pipe it and get a tune to change that lol

if you want comfort plus , go back to the stock 20" instead of 21

I’m need a truck I’m swapping out my 2019 q50 red sport for a daily need something to handle snow does this handle snow good and how does this compete with something like a Trackhawk

That Bird! lmao

Hey guys, how is it on long road trips? Mostly interested in engine sound: while it's a blast in the city, it could get very tiring when listening to it for 5 hours straight. Anyone? Ed? Thanks

hi, whats package to get rear screen?thx

What’s the mileage that you shouldn’t pick this up at? And or year?

I pick mine up this coming Tuesday. I was just wondering will the car roll back even when your foot is on the brakes?

Does the x5m comes Standard with a panoramic sunroof?

Nice, throw some black grills on it😋

Still worth buying in 2023? looking at the 2017 M5

Do you think 2016 X5 M with 110500 miles for 40k a good purchase? When does it start breaking down? Thank you.

Nice video. Still can’t find decent car in the same color combo, for a normal price. For some reason RU-vid keeps unsubscribing me from your channel...

I love my X5 and its just the F15 M package not X5M. But couple more mods and it'll be right up there. As for the Comfort Plus mode I think you can make that happen real easy, kinda lol. You have a great suspension I think your issue may lie more in the tires. Go down to a 20" rim or if you want all the cushion you can go crazy and go 19's. Either way Im sure you can do a 20" rim with a 55 tire. or you can stagger and do that for the rear only and do 19" in the front but go back down to a 50 tire so rim doesn't get lost in the tire and so more important you can achieve more comfort and not OD on body roll. I will say this tho, you cant just hit turns like that with all that extra comfort. So if you have the family in the truck more often then not you might consider maybe losing a couple style points but gaining drivability ones. Staggered would be my choice if I had to. But if my family only i there every now and again I would stick with the 21's all day! lol

For me it's very hard to choose between X5m and X6M. I'm more X6m Guy But i Think X5M look more manly and wide ass :) It's nice design

I'll be ready to buy it from you whenever you're done driving it.. Okay?

I just saw this video and to be totally honest, environmental regulations will wipe these cars soon enough and while I am living in Germany (where these regulations are coming FAST) and still young, I am thinking about getting one of these as a replacement for my F15 M50d. Sounds crazy? Well, I do not like the looks of the F95; it is too polished for my taste and I really, really would like to drive a V8 before they're gone for good. The M50d is not underpowered at all but was a decision made out of prudence due to 120km (~75 mi) a day to travel to work. That being said, I have a fuel (diesel) consumption of about 11 l/100km (~22mpg) due to no speed limitations on German motorways. Would you recommend this car over an almost 400hp Diesel "just for fun" as a daily driver or would you say stick to the one you have?

The no park is really throwing me off

Would you prefer a 2014 Audi Q7 S-line (w 78k miles, or a 2015 BMW X5 35i ( w 98k miles)?! Which would be more reliable in terms of maintaining and cost repairs?

It’s actually does have park tho, if you leave the car in Drive and turn it off, it will automatically go into Park

Like 👍

love mine feels like tank bad thing it eats gasssssssss

You need a lavalier mic and keep the sound at the same level throughout. I couldn't take more than 8 mins of your video.

Yoo leave the bird alone man

You can't compare this baby with jeep Cherokee 😂😂😂

Say BMW again

Listen to that fake engine sound purrrrrrrrrr
