The 2019 BMW X5 Is A Right Sized SUV That Drives Like A Sport Sedan 

Happy Monday guys! We're still tweaking and perfecting this new style intro. Hopefully you guys saw it in our last upload on the 2019 NSX but we think it turned out great on this new X5 video. Just wanted to make a quick clarification, BMW still does not offer Android Auto in their vehicles so ignore when Sofyan says it has it. Currently, they only have the wireless Apple CarPlay which we demonstrate in the interior portion of the video. Rumors are saying they will add Android Auto soon but we're not sure when. We apologize for that mistake and thank you all so much for watching!

Have you guys ever considered adding nighttime footage to the full reviews? Just to give the perspective of what the vehicles look like at night, especially the head/tail lights etc. and interior lights and those kinds of details... just would be a really nice touch to your already stellar vids.

The music is getting out of hand. At the very least, turn down the music while you are speaking.

This is the new 5 series. Even base engine is a straight six and luxurious and fast. Best midsize luxury entry from a German company.

Most of time Sofyan test out the infotainment, my favorite part is the radio, its always a edm track current playing. Nicely done as usual

Please stop with the dramatic music 🙄

Love the review. I’ve been watching most of your videos during quarantine. Thanks for the video!

Have to agree with what others have said. The intro music is over the top and it's distracting to what you're trying to communicate. I always skip the intro music and get to the review. All the camera work is wasted IMO.

I really enjoying watching your reviews Sofyan! You go into great details and give very honest opinions. I don’t always agree with them, however each of us have our own thoughts. I know you review all these great new vehicles that come out, from low end to high end models. The high prices they are asking for these newest editions with all the added features is unreal, but everything goes up. What I’m really interested in is the actual value ( depreciation ) of these vehicles after 3-4 years. And cost of repairs etc. Have you given any thought to doing periodic reviews of some of the vehicles after 5 years ownership, to really give consumers an idea of just how badly they depreciated and their high repair bills? Just a thought! Keep up the great work Sofyan!

Nice review Sofian as always.

I am loving these new voiceover intros!

Whoojoo finally I was waiting for this for a week

I recently requested a mid-size sedan from a rental agency. They were out, but they gave me a nice upgrade for the same price: a BMW X7 i40! It was awesome! It’s now making me wonder how I might afford one. I would probably opt for this X5 for the modest boost in mileage and slightly better feel, since I would be the lone occupant 90% of the time, while retaining the towing capacity of the X7.

I thought you mentioned the self driving function worked at speeds under 40 mph. But your doing 40+

Rode in one the other day , interior is very nice I love the panameric roof & the performance on the 40i is up to par with any SUV in this segmant , if you sit blindfolded in this car you wouldn't think it's an SUV cant wait to see what Bmw does with the x550i model

@12:45 Once the X7 was released, BMW discontinued the 3rd row option on the X5. If you want a 3rd row, you’ll have to find a X5 that was built before 3/1/19. Also @13:26 that’s not a “rear seat entertainment prep package” (Audi Q7 offers that), instead it’s where you can attach things like an iPAD, laptop, or even hang up a coat.

People overexaggerrate BMW's "unreliability" so much it's horrible. This is crazy...If you're so worried about reliability some much, get a Toyota..

hello Redline. you mentioned in your review that this has got android auto. Is it really true given that I 'hear' BMW discontinued android car play support?

Why does the music sound like something from transformers

Love mine ❤️ Thanks for a great review!

I fell asleep... not because it was boring lol. Seriously though, out of all the reviewers I listen to, if I only could listen to one, it would be you. Keep it up.

The music in the background while you talk doesn't sound right. Good job for trying something new but it isnt working.

Very nice review! I gain a lot knowledge about this SUV. Only, question,…. What does a New Jersey license plates in Seattle, WA?

Once again love the narration at the beginning. But once again if you're talking at the same time as the music is playing I really can't hear what you're saying.

Long live the X5

Very nice suv it’s bigger than I thought. Need a test drive price not bad . Thanks for the reviews

This Music THO?! Dayum!

Love these BMW suv’s but the reliability kills me! The BMW’s built for us Americans are crap compared to the ones built in Germany. They last so much longer and have very few issues over there. Something we’ve never had.

Does 2019 x5 in north america has some speed restrictions? Mine does not go beyond 212 km/h.

BMW, best technology ever; until your warranty expires, that is.

As soon as you said they charge for apple car play I can immediately scratch this car off the list

How to use the launch control, bought mine in July and still couldn't figure it out.

Excellent review

Sweet ride and now that BMW is not charging for Apple carplay anymore makes it sweeter.

Nice looking. But how long will it last before the weird electrical issues start? Because they will start.😒

How does driving dynamic like compare to x3?

That water looks so inviting.

You know when Sofyan laughs as he accelerates it’s a great engine lol

X5 came a long way. Still see many 1st generations on the road. They used to be slow gas guzzlers now they're the opposite.

My advice to you is to let the music play and show off the vehicle before before you speak.

Great review as always. The camera work and editing is supreme among auto reviewers. You guys are able to make a Corolla an interesting review. I love the new X5. I have the last generation. My reliability have been great after 4 years so I wont be trading it in anytime soon. However this generation have a sharp edge. That was really needed. The last generation was good but if you remove sport mode you are getting close to soccer mom territory. BMW underrates its engines the last gens' 300 hp fells like 330 I suspect this gen 335 feels like 350 hp. Bottom-line great driving SUV all generations mediocre hauling SUV all generations. If you take 4 people on a trip. the people in the back get sedan like room while the front passengers are loving life. BTW the air cooled seats are average.I tried them in Gen 4 and 5 Cadillac beats them and all of the Germans in cooling seats. Generation 4 does not offer cooled seats in the back although they are heated. The dealership told me the latest does not offer cooled back seats. Keep being awesome Redline.

Majority of X5 here in the U.S are leasing vehicles. After the warranty is expired,this is one of the most expensive vehicle to maintaining. Common problem with the X5 is the air suspension.

Excellent Review Of 2019 BMW X5. 😁

Hey guys! Which one would you choose? This X5 or the 540i?

This or the previous gen? Which do you prefer?

Intro music with the voice over is too loud, thank you!

Great review as usual Sofyan. So, Cruise or Bieber in the Octagon? My money on Cruise, despite the fact he is 56 years old.

Take a tequila shot every time he says "option"

Was this video filmed on New Jersey?

How do you compare this car with Jaguar F pace?

The amount of times he said “ this is missing an option package” just tells you BMW is a rip-off

These American built X5s had lousy reliability. I had two of them. All kinds of leaks started right after the basic warranties expire. BMW expects everyone to lease their cars, pay huge amounts of interest on the leases and turn them in after 3 years with no equity. They then CPO them and make another round of money on them. Interesting business model. Don’t be fooled By nice interiors. They are of no use when there are expensive maintenance issues.

Is it smoother and quieter than the Lexus?

2019 x5 comes with Apple CarPlay on every trim, and can access it as long as subscription paid, am I understanding right ?

can please somebody tell me where is this lake?

You say in video it’s a single turbo? I think it’s a twin at least on 2021

That music during the intro was a bit much. Love the review itself though!

The good thing about the apple carplay they going to start giving it for free instead of charging you soon. I think it started or next year. 🤔

I really wish the German brands would use the Amber turn signals in the rear. All that red bugs me.

❤️BMW’s SUV LINE👍🏾

Please still test the upcoming X6

Wow nice review. Definitely nicer than Lexus that's for sure. Love the new B58 engine. What a peach. A gem. New interior and Mercedes are best in class. Love your vids RR and Sofyan 😍😁

BMW = Break My Wallet

I like that New BMW X5👍👍

Still wondering why BMW would charger for Apple Car Play... WHY THO!??!?

Awesome show

I'm very impressed by the new generation of BMW cars and SUVs Their interiors are finally matching their price tags. And watch out for the 2020 M3! Meanwhile, Mercedes newest stuff, just went to see the GL350......not impressing me. Looks like BMW has "it" right now.

You are so kind when reviewing the second row space, new GLE offers much more leg room space than X5, and RX can move and recline the second row seat.....the new X5 should do better job！

Is there any one guess why bmw don't want to make middle seat reclining seat back??? I regreted about this feature with this expensive sucker not recline

People are complaining about BMW unreliability. If you want a sports SUV, your only option is either the Audi Q7 or the BMW X5

When is Redline Review dropping their Mazda 3 review?

Lol this actually gets better gas mileage than most 3 row passenger SUVs and it’s turbocharged with over 300hp

Tone down the music at the beginning please. Feels like I'm inside the mummy ride at universal

Which one do you prefer the BMW X5 or the Mercedes GLE?

I wonder what would happen if BMW redesigned their seats with Adidas Boost technology for cushion and added a plush ribbed “pillow-like” front half of their head-rest.

I freaking love this car!!

I have to disagree on self-closing doors for $350 being a steal. It's a completely useless feature - everyone can close a car door.

You are misinforming people. The car does offer a rear well drive option as x5 s40i

Dude, the first X5 was not a lifted 5 series sedan, not ever the 5 series wagon.

What lake is that?

Wait, Sport Activity Vehicle? Does this mean the Santa Cruz SAV was created by the same team that says they created the segment? Most be.

Dope intro music, but I was expecting to see Jet Li engage in a choreographed fight with DMX.

Does it really have android auto?

Love the music and the review. Thanks

Why does it have to drive like sports sedan? Can it just drive like normal sedan and comfy?

Where was this filmed?

Previous generation looks so much more aggressive

I like how you exaggerate the initial launch. It's a car not space rocket.

Man... X3 is equipped with reclining seats, but is a cheaper vehicle.. x7 is a huge vehicle but obviously most people won't need it... Why did they leave the reclining seats out..? I have zero understanding..

12:17 what's up with the seat bottoms?

Your intros are almost at SavageGeese level. Very nice review.

Way toooo much sun and smudge reflecting plastic on dash.

the overstyling of BMW bumpers is out of control, this car looks awkward but the new X7 is just hideous. Style is subjective but with cheapness of their latest models some heads should roll over at BMW’s design department. Mercedes benz, Alfa Romeo and Volvo are now all producing much more stylish SUVs and BMW look strange or aftermarket by comparison

Subscription for Carplay? When lessor brands give it away? What an insult! I don't even care for Apple products but that's offensive.

Is android auto also a subscription?

bmw makes u pay extra for “missing options” because they want money and 5 years later they become endless money pits

I really do like the X5. I have a new X3 and 2019 3 Series and I like the 3 Series has the matte finish around the iDrive and other controls. Not sure why the X5 and X3 have it glossy. Gets really dirty.

why the grey bottom trim?? all its gonna do is get ashy

I absolutely love this SUV! It feels weird admitting this because I am really not a fan of SUV's. I figure if you are going to buy an SUV you might as well buy a truck because of the added functionality of the bed and the extra cargo room. In addition, you don't have to worry about the trunk getting trashed becuase you can just hose out the bed and is easier to keep clean. However, not everyone is fan of trucks. Probably the only SUV's I would buy is the Land Rover Range Rover, Land Cruiser, or the Jeep Trackhawk. Other than those models, I would be more inclined to buy a hatch back, sportback sedan, or a truck as I mentioned above.

If you want one vehicle that does everything well, luxury, performance, family car, tech, this is a fine choice.
