2024 BMW X5 Xdrive40i - Still The Gold Standard for Premium SUVs 

Just traded my 2021 X5 40i for a 2024. I too was reluctant to change because of lack of physical buttons. I found the I drive 8 system fairly easy to learn/use and you still have the selection wheel plus voice commands. Climate controls readily accessible. I bought the M Sport ,Premium and driver assist packages. I do notice the HP power increase and adaptive system tuning. All and all a nice upgrade! With BMW loyalty Car club and military incentives a decent deal. I’ve owned Porsches and other performance cars, but this hits the “sweet spot!

I just got the X5 Blue Ridge Mountain. I get a lot of compliments on the color. I love this SUV.

Hi I mast say I like your bmw X5 40i video and want to say thanks for the video hope to see more BMW videos

It doesn’t have standard All Wheel Drive. Sdrive is Rear Wheel Drive and if it you don’t have the i at the end after the numbers, it’s also Rear Wheel Drive.

Sounded more like a sponsored than a review.

I'm in the market for an X5, but the lack of physical HVAC controls is probably a deal breaker. I can probably save some money and buy a 2023 instead though :-)

Thanks for the sunglasses information. I dislike how I can't see the heads up display with my current sunglasses, and didn't know that there were polarized lenses that don't do that.

Nice coverage, nice car in beautiful Canada

my experience: i traded in a 2021 x5 50i, i was getting 12 mpg it was awful, i got a 2024 xdrive4oi w/ M sport pro package, sooo much better and still great perfomance and getting double the mpg, here is the funny thing, so a week later, I got to drive a 2024 Sdrive40i with the M sport pro, and M sport professional, and WOW so light, nimble i never thought an x5 could feel so dynamic, i only wish you could option the M sport differential as the eletronic one on the Sdrive is a little slow and will give you some wiggles on hard accelerations.

Imagine a Bev version of this X5 vs look of the iX 🦫

My 2021 X5 has remote handles in the back to lower the 2nd row seats.. so strange that they would remove that. It probably cost more money to remove it, then to just leave it.

Not sure what the uproar is. You can get many commands by voice. Not the end of the world as other people are making it to be. It’s a great car

My family is in the market for one of this. The problem, no 3rd row seating in the X5. So we are looking in the MDX TypeS but for the price I would like to get the X5.

X drive is not standard on all X5s. At least not in the US. As I think about it, FWD variant probably not offered in Canada.

iDrive 8 is an abomination. The 8 shortcuts are gone. Climate control buttons are gone. Heated seats and ventilated seats are now have to be turned on / off in software. Manual low beams and PARKING LIGHTS are in iDrive. Was the turn-style switch too complicated, for BMW? Even the HEATED STEERING WHEEL BUTTON is gone. No one can dispute that having to navigate a software menu to do simple tasks is easier and safer than a switch you can locate and turn on, without looking, by memory. The fact the common sense has been lost around this is totally mind boggling. Kool Aid drinkers will say use voice commands. But the voice commands are slow and half baked, at best. You can easily press a button and have your attention back on the road before the voice system is even ready to take your command. Won't buy another BMW until BMW undoes iDrive 8 buttonless stupidity.

Most uneducated video ever. What does the mild hybrid have to do with helping acceleration… 🤦🏻‍♂️ Also the X line has adaptive suspension (not air) while the S does not. Educate yourself before “reviews”

Dude stay with the car this glasses are no big deal I have costas and raybans they are better

No one can make a better I6, they made it for the Wehrmacht , there’s your proof
