The bmw X5 is the perfect SUV. I mean that. If I could afford any one of them, I would still get the 6 cylinder because it doesn’t need more. 4.5 seconds 0 to 60 is amazing standard. The smoothness. The refinement. It’s perfect.

Have been driving BMWs since 2005. in the meantime, over 11 cars. My daily-driver is the 2021 X3 30e which has the 2 liter engine, accelerates however like a Rocket. I test drove the Mercedes GLC before deciding to stay with BMW. The Mercedes was all plastic inside. All the metal-looking bits are plastic. In BMW, they’re all metal. The overall finish in BMW is vastly superior. The onboard systems, the I-Drive for example, is the best in any car. Great vid bro 👍

Do all BMW SUVs have the different drive modes? I mostly use Efficient mode on my X1 and it's amazing. It still gives me the power and also ~30mpg in mostly mix urban driving and up to 40mpg long trip highway (I regularly drive 130 miles one way trip on weekends where around 110 miles of it are highway and the 20 miles split between before and after exiting highway).

Dude.. amazing review!! Not because I am a fan of X5 but genuinely you didn't stop talking and showed almost everything. 1 suggestion - couple of things you said was not correct so may be prepare well before e.g. no rear reclining seats, if you get executive package, it comes with it

@microbiologycory10 13 дней назад

Didn’t know that…I’ve never seen a pic of the rear seats with controls…literally hundreds of pics don’t show it, is it possible the exec. Pkg is that rare? (Or maybe they just added it back in for 2025 and I’ve been looking at pre-2025?)

Great video. I’m in the market for a new vehicle and have had my heart set on the Jaguar F-Pace the last couple months as I love its design. But I think you just persuaded me into considering the 2025 X5. It also comes with a lot more goodies than the Jag for the same price. A big negative for me about the BMW is that it seems like every other car on the road where I live is a BMW.

@garrettsiegert6100 Месяц назад

My wife just got the same exact X5 except with the silver stone interior. She had her heart set on the jaguar f-pace also. The bmw is way more car for the money. She loves it and I love it.

@conservativegirl3371 Месяц назад

I had a Jaguar f pace s before I ordered a 2024 bmw x5. I love the way the f pace sounded and it was very sporty, which I loved….but the BMW feels and rides like a better car. I decided to order the m sport package with the 22 inch black wheels and blacked out grill which makes it a little more special and sporty looking on the road…so although I do see lots of X5 around, I do think mine looks a little unique. It’s a solid smooth and fast driving suv and I’ve really enjoyed it. It has tons of power and feels luxury, esp the new interior!

Nice vid. I had an x5 yrs ago and became a money pit w 75k miles on it. Let’s cut to chase here. I’d like to fall in love w x5 again. Seems nice. Is this car a perfect suv if you lease and flip it every 2-3 years and forget owning for many or no? Everyone knows bmws are great when new but once you hit 50k miles it seems like someone in Germany presses a button and car starts leaking oil. Major expensive repairs are needed etc. is this still the case here now? Thanks

Is there a reason that now BMW USA doesn’t provide FULL adaptive LED lights in the US with all the new LCI models? Another thing that BMW eliminated for the US. There is no swiveling function (curve adapt). This means, when you turn your steering wheel to the left or right, the lights don’t turn to the bend. You would think each year it should get better and not worse. Why did they remove the BMW “M” clip from the rear calipers? No rear door comfort access? No rear door puddle lights? Seriously?

I just purchased a 2024 X5 M Sport package in Brooklyn Gray. I had a 2018 X5 (for almost 5 years) and traded it in for a Lexus RX 350 F Sport. BORING car. I kept it for 1.5 years and traded it in the new 2024 X5. I love the new X5 ... my only gripe is the ridiculously small A/C vents. I have to put the power on high (level 5) or one notch below high (level 4) to try to keep the car cool inside the cabin. MAJOR flaw in design. I also miss the hard buttons for climate control and the heated steering wheel.

The 3 worst things are the face of that thing, throwing hvac, seat warmers, drive distance etc into the crap screen, and the face of that thing. Everything on the front besides the grille and the lights looks so out of place with the rest of the car, it's like it got in a front end wreck and just threw on the nearest random crap it could find. The fake vents behind the front wheels can also fuck right off. Looks insecure not confident
