The 2024 BMW X5 xDrive40i Is The Midsize Executive Luxury SUV Perfected 

The ambient lighting colors are limited to 4 colors unlike MB

Lol what r you talking about i have a ton of choices in my 5 series lmao ​@bryandsouza9905

@@bryandsouza9905yeah, false.

Not only that, but look at what non-luxury SUV’s and trucks are selling for….

The 3 series hasn’t been hit with the so called “ugly stick” lol

@@mikedawkins346 8 series looks great too

@@pete64041 I absolutely agree

@@mikedawkins346 X7 as well...BMW is outselling the other germans for a reason...

Even if it looks worse that’s okay. Styling is subjective since it does everything well

Judging what they did to the 2025 X3, I think they're going to beat the X5 with the ugly stick.

@@naveenthemachine Understand. That was an individual opinion

@@naveenthemachine Except having decent turn signals. I don't understand why it can't have amber turn signals like the eu market gets. Having turn signals that double as the brake lights is just plain dangerous.

Drive wise yes, tech wise sure. But this vehicle lacks the number one thing that people buy an SUV for in the first place. Convenience. Mainly the rear seating. It's not competitive at all and rather underwhelming for a mod size suv. I don't care how amazing it drives you buy an suv to comfortably carry 4/5 passengers and be able to access diverse terrain

oh they will. bmw's goal is to make as many ugly cars as possible.

RIGHT!?

That’s because majority of buyers don’t want something too flashy. They just want to blend in ugly. They just want it to drive amazing and be super comfortable.

Get the X4! Beautiful car

much better than sequentials though. makes it more visible and OEM.

@@alexl.102 needs amber turn signals

They give me anxiety when I'm behind one

They blink like they are broken

It cannot be turned off but is barely noticeable due to the mild hybrid system. You can touch the gas pedal lightly which will restart if you like to keep engine running.

@@jeffsena9140sport mode turns it off

Oh regarding the suspension options I'll give you a breakdown, in comfort mode, the X5 40i M Sport rides better than the X5 40i Luxury Line without air suspension and just as good as the X5 40i Luxury Line with air suspension, the M Sport X5 will feel firmer in Sport and Sport+ modes though which I honestly like, my dad and I have had our eyes on this SUV for a while and my dad plans to get a 40i M Sport fully loaded later this year, BEST SUV under $90k if you ask me

What does ffs mean?

These things depreciate like rocks. You can get nearly 50% off within three years and still have some bumper-to-bumper warranty remaining, which can be extended.

Overpriced garbage 🗑️. Shear rubbish

for 80k new it’s not worth it !!! unless u wana certified

@@regmattthis drives the best in its class. Certified pre owned lease returns are the best bargains to buy. Those sell fast. Problem is they are sold to people on a list. Get on the list.

@@ryanb8736 long term junk. I wouldn't buy

Is this what you decided to buy?

Not unless they put 100k miles on it in a year…

I love that feature! Every vehicle should come standard with digital rear mirrors, especially coupes and coupe suvs. Those are more difficult to see out of normally. Plus, a loaded cargo area or three people in the back will block your view. If you don't care for them, guess what, you can turn it off and never use it. Therefore, it's a rather dumb statement to say you'd never buy a car that has one.

@@jeffs6090 Well Jeff, I find your statement, indicating that you'd accept something that is a safety issue, as more than just dumb. I was pretty clear that it may have just been a bad implementation, and that should be a clue to you that I'm open to a better one, but maybe you missed that.

@donwilber1628 "...but it was bad enough that I would never buy a vehicle with a mirror like that." That, in no way, says that you would be open to a better one. Unless you have some sort of weird girl brain where you say one thing but mean something completely different because "they knew what they meant". What aspect is the safety issue for you? Because for me, it's a safety issue by not having one for when it's impossible to see out the back when there's people or gear blocking your view, or in a coupe suv that has poor visibility by design. Something, even if it's "a poor implementation", is better than not having it.

@@jeffs6090 Clearly, reading is a challenge for you. You're the only person who's had an issue with it. And no, a poor implementation isn't better than not having it. A poor implementation is a safety hazard..."Other traffic in the mirror was out of normal proportions." That causes you to misjudge the distance of things in the mirror. Since you've already shown that reading comprehension is challenging for you, or maybe you're just a troll, and you're flat out insulting, I'm done wasting time with you.

Yup, you got it, SensaFin feels really nice tbh but I'd still pay up for the genuine Merino Leather personally

Spare tire is a $250 option and I highly recommend it

You’ve got run flats, so why waste the space?

@@friedchickenguy run flats give you a harsher ride and are more expensive to replace. Many run-flats cannot be repaired and often need to be replaced in pairs.

I’ve had run flats many times and never noticed a difference in ride quality other than the fact that they are super grippy. They are expensive for sure, but I’ve always been able to repair them as long as it’s in the tread.

@@friedchickenguy well my dad is getting a brand-new X5 himself in the near future and even though the run-flat tires will certainly be nice to have, the optional spare tire will be a great backup

M sport package eliminates most of that!

Agreed, but I don’t wanna pay for the M sport pkg which makes the front end look like a bulldog.

What are you smoking? O7-10 were huge pieces of 💩

Ig but they are more reliable than the older ones

I had a 2022 , it was great , some add t boned it and was totaled . I now have the 2024 and it is really awesome

It all has to do with the tuning! This engine has been tuned for more torque versus the M340i and that matters when you're pushing around a much heavier SUV.

​@@theredlinegotcha

You can open only the top half of the tailgate. No need to open the lower half unless your loading long or heavy items. Also, handy as a bench when tailgating!

My 5'6" dad is about to get one of these X5s and the split tailgate honestly isn't an issue, I'm the same height as him rn (10th grader in highschool, going into 11th this September) but expected to grow another few inches, my mom is exactly 5 feet and has no issue with the split tailgate

Everyone voted for high inflation. Blame it on poor education.

@@ryanb8736 agreed

@@ryanb8736 100%

Tell us what’s not?

Which one isn't over priced

Nah the new X5 is reliable if you get the 40i and it doesn't have air suspension, my parents have been skeptical about buying a German car for this same reason but they are getting a brand-new X5 with all the options later this year and I'm def looking forward to it

I have a 2024 50e and it has been to the dealership 11 times, all under warranty but it’s been a nightmare. Maybe the 40i is more reliable.

@@Cantdecide-no7wn yeah the 50e is a turd ngl, that’s why my dad is gonna get a 40i instead

Big SUV with 400hp.

I got 30 MPG average on the highway during a 3500 mile round trip at 75 mph. Not bad for a 5200 midsize SAV!

Why does it matter to you? His preference isn't affecting your life at all

Lexus isn’t a legitimate luxury brand and they’re having turbo problems

@@naveenthemachine I'm a Toyota guy, so I consider Lexus luxury. The turbo issue is addressed by the recall, no worries. I'd be happy with the BMW for a 3 year lease just like Soyfan

​@@naveenthemachineWhy do dumb people must have opinions?

Lexus isnt a legit luxury brand. Just look at tje ugly interior and hopeless infotainment sys.

@@marianoherrera6038 look in the mirror, then answer your question

Nope, my dad cross-shopped both the X5 and the GLE and the GLE is trash compared to the X5 (I can elaborate further if you really want me to), he will be copping a fully loaded X5 later this year

Have had X5s in 2 separate occasions. Both horrible cars, absolute loads of problems! Changed to a GLE450 in 2020, wonderful car in every single sense, especially the MBUX it’s brutally superior!!! As of Dec 2023, we changed it for GLE63AMG… The X5 has way much to do before it gets any close to this car, in every sense

@@miguelrodfher congratulations on getting a car with worse build quality but 1st I would like to clarify that the newer X5s are a lot more reliable than the older ones as long as you avoid the plug-in hybrid

As someone who has been buying cars (relatively high end ones) for the last 21 years, with the exception of brands such as RR or Bentley, there isnt a car with as high quality as Mercedes-Benz… you can claim anything you wish… but there’s a reason why the S class is the standard of luxury

@@miguelrodfher okay then I need an explanation why my best friend’s mom had both a 2020 and 2021 GLS with horrible build quality (both cars have been horribly unreliable too) and the same friend who went to a Mercedes dealer recently told me every new car in their showroom had horrible build quality, I’ve been in multiple BMWs/Audis/Porsches and the build quality is amazing

Leather is quite durable if cared for.

@@redzoom7857 that’s why I said that vinyl was NOT more durable than leather

@@golfbuddy1969 I have had a lot of cars and in everyone the vinyl held up better. Also the vinyl in the BMW is more comfortable than the semi aniline leather in my lexus...Why would i pay more?

@@pete64041 the best quality shoes aren’t vinyl…they’re leather. Why is that? Leather is the same color all the way through, and vinyl is not. Leather is a natural material that breathes, vinyl is not. Leather color is made with dyes, and vinyl is with synthetic paints. Leather can be patched, sewn and repaired, and vinyl can’t.

@@golfbuddy1969 It's marginal at this point imo...My Mercedes ML550 had vinyl and not a single person noticed it. Super comfortable, and after 8 years still looked brand new...

X5 is way faster and better built. I got the 50e and it has nearly 500hp and i haven't had to pay for a drop of gas in the last 6 months...

X5 has a lot more performance but I don't think you care (and you don't have to) so I won't argue
