2024 BMW X5 M60i - The BEST Performance SUV For The Money 

What is funny is that people will spend a lot of money in car audio but not in home audio and the home audio will be around a lot longer.

This one is missing SO many great options: 1 - executive package, 2 - massaging seats, 3 - B&W stereo, 4 - extended merino leather, 5 - driving assistance pro package and 6 - adaptive M suspension professional. I got all of those on mine and REALLY wish I'd gotten the alcantara headliner as well. I went with black sapphire metallic and these very same wheels. It's GORGEOUS.

Most comprehensive review I have seen over the last 2 years. I just ordered the X5M 60i. Thanks for the review!

One of the best reviews about all the features this one has.

My friend has 2022 X5 M50d with 3.0 quad turbo diesel engine (400HP). I drove it twice and I can say for a diesel it's unimaginable quick. Great review as always. Greetings

BMW beauty🤩 Bankrupt My Wallet.. And im ok with it.

He's one of the yummiest YT car reviewers!

Yes some physical buttons please! Also very nice review young man 👍🏾

I have 21" with mine, and it is a good compromise and with skyscraper grey it creates a great combo.

This SUV is a beast!

I Have Mine now 4 Months Love It Crazy Ride 💪🏼💪🏼

Definitely prefer physical climate control buttons !!! The M50i interior with buttons on dash is nicer (disappointed M60i owner)

Thanks for that in-depth review. Test drove this last week and it was great, but as you said, what pain to adjust the climate controls! Took me forever to lower the fan speed while driving.

Best review so far. Very in depth. I'm glad you take your time, instead rushing it.

Thanks. Peace bro.

I'm thinking of buy new 2024 BMW X5 SUV.

Excellent review. .

I think the engine noise and burbles you are hearing in the cabin are actually artificially pumped in via the sound system. The big complaint of the M60 over the M50 is the lack of an aggressive V8 sound. Easily fixed with an aftermarket exhaust/resonator delete.

One other difference I notice no one mentions is with the M competition trim you get an actual gear shifter. That’s my biggest gripe about the whole thing. Your review was awesome. Great job man.

I like the buttons

Yea I’m Sold. Hope to get this next year

You have to press unlock button before remote start

20” rims for practicality… I’m ordering my M60i next week and will try and get 20s on mine

Awesome review Kenny! I am not usually a fan of the blacked out trim but it so works with this car's color. I don't think I could trust myself with that engine though. It sounds so awesome and I'd want to stomp on it all the time lol. Please keep the awesome videos com ing!

Great review, very detailed. I don’t believe you talked about the mild electric mode of this vehicle.

Great review.... but "anyways" is not a word :-)

As a current BMW owner - i LOVE the climate controls as physical buttons. But perhaps I’m just old school lol :)

I like physical button for climate controls

Regarding the climate controls, I completely agree with you about having physical climate control buttons. I currently own a 750ix. Every time I adjust the temperature, for the next 4-5 seconds, the screen then prompts a message that tells me I just adjusted the temperature. This causes the map to disappear, which has caused me to mis my exit several times. I am not so stupid to not be aware that if I change the temperature, the temperature will change! Talk about over engineering!!!!

I own a 2024 X5 M60i and my wife has the 2022 X5 M50i. The 50 sounded much better with more "pop pops". They both are fast, the 60 does have the sprint mode, if you pull both shift levers at same time it opens sprint mode and 40 more bhp for 10 seconds from the battery. Its great road trip car but he 50 is good as well. I hate the lack of buttons for things like heated seats and wheel. The tech is better in the 60 for sure. Good car but dont love it. I came out of a supercharged RRS and the RRS sounds better and is better off road. BMW probably more reliable. Will probable go to lexus GX550 next year as I still have a G80 BMW M4 comp as a fun car.

everybody know when u put shell premium 93 boost in a bmw it goes so much faster !!! fr

My question is; As the driver in the driving position, does it feel as spacious as the X7 ? Or maybe the front seat compartments are different sizes?

Loadad😊

I think you have to have a subscription to the app to remote start the car

Such a shame this X5 M60 doesn’t sound similar to the Mercedes GLE 63. This X5 deserves to growl like a V8, not the muffled noise coming from this exhaust. This particular colour scheme should have been optioned with the Gloss Black wheels, definitely not what’s on this X5. I’m also surprised that this X5 hasn’t got the shaved or flush door handles like the new X1 has. Would look far better having these old style handles eliminated altogether. But in saying all that, I would love to own an X5 M60!

Comfort wise how does it compare to an x5 40i or 50e? Is it a huge difference or a marginal difference. Torn between getting a performance SUV but don’t wanna sacrifice on daily comfort as I am looking at a 50 miles daily commute.

I despise of the new screens.. the old interior design was perfect! Was looking to upgrade from my BMW E91 Sport Wagon 6 speed manual, but those screens are a deal breaker. I’ll be looking at Audi and Porsche instead for my next cars!

I absolutely hate the industry wide movement to screens for controlling climate and entertainment. I always chalked my aversion to it as a result of being, well, somewhat old. Nice to hear a young guy making the same complaint. Maybe the manufacturers will listen. BMW's used to have classy interiors. Even the beautiful Porsche and Audi interiors have been ruined by screens.

Wonder how you would compare this to the Porsche Cayenne S? The 2024 CS prices out around $135-140K with the requisite options. So the M60i is about $30K less. I love my 2022 Porsche Cayenne now but miss some of the creatures comforts. So might jump out to the S or go this route, with the M60i.

Upgrade sound system

That little sticker on the windshield is really annoying.

much prefer to have physical buttons

Nice video, but reviewing a fully equipped vehicle will even be better. Most people will spend $90k on a car for the driving pleasure, but not $95k to make it twice as good. For example the B&W audio takes you to another level. Its no longer a fast car, its a fast concert, and the bass under the seats are amazing. If you take the 2 axle suspension, it becomes a transformer. If you put the car in Sport+ mode, it lowers by 4 cm, first the front then the rear - this is so cool, but it makes a huge difference in the riding especially if you have 22" wheels. Ride is soft, but in Sport+ its a sports car. The massaging seats are actually very good for long rides and the ventilated seats, and so on. I know its not just about features, but this car is about features, power, driving experience and if you leave out the features you kind of miss how good it really is...

I need help. I've been looking at both the X3 M40i or X5 M60i but I dont know which one I should buy. Personally, what would you choose?

Physical climate controls are preferable...

I have x5 40i 2024 How much they have this one for?

The margin between M40i and M60i worth 15k? The X5 M40i already out accelerates 95% of all cars (SUVs and sedans) on the road. Only other BMWs, Porsches and those super sport cars can out accelerate a X5 40i. Plus BMW in-line 6 B58 cost a lot less in maintenance than the V8.

You keep saying this isn’t quite the same as a “M“. In 2024 there is no such a thing as a “M“ in 2024, there is simply the M60 and the M competition.

Why weren’t the seat belts trim out with the bmw colors on the edge of them it being an m sport

Does this ride smoother than the Lexus or benz

Why no exhaust demo... mmm, i wonder?

Responding to your comments about climate control in the screen (vs physical controls). I feel like we have been down this road before. Remember back in the early to mid 2010s when Ford was really pushing capacitive buttons for climate control and audio control? I think Honda did it too…and maybe others. It didn’t work and they went back to physical buttons. Now they are making similar mistakes again. I think in 5 years, this trend will once again subside.

“22”

Yep too much touch screens all these cars now. Fee like I’m driving a computer. I want a real car with real instruments.

need physical climate control buttons for sure, BMW please change back to buttons already

I like tires with sidewall for ride quality and poorly maintained roads. All black interior is played out.

Don’t like the digital climate control

HP?

Yes, I hate the screen buttons. I drive 2022 X7 fully loaded and will not be jumping into X5 as much as I want to. I want actual buttons like most people. Fire the person who designed new X7. It is ugly as hell. Also please make X5 back seats recline. I have teen kids and on long trips it would be very nice to have. I am happy with my X7 and will keep it till new X7 looks change to better and get physical buttons + reclining bench

Great review.
