The Things I hate about my 2024 BMW X5 M Competition 😡 

Yeah, that fan is beneficial to your turbos, it’s cooling down the hot oil that goes through it so it does not breakdown your seals prematurely.

Just got a 2024 X5M - there's a Start/Stop button that should disable that at comfort mode. Configuring M1 to comfort might also do the trick if you disable it in the settings. Have the same thing on 2023 M440i - it doesn't have start/stop disable button, but if you set Sport Individual to all comfort for regular driving - start/stop disengages 👌

Thinking about taking the leap. Great vid. Thanks

I have been a BMW customer for years, I have been driving a BMW X6 M for three generations and I ordered the fourth. Brake noise is on all cars, when the outside temperature is cold. The space between the wheels is normal for an SUV, I had my penultimate x6 with a lowered set-up, nice to look at but uncomfortable if you exceeded a certain weight on the rear axle. The noise of the cooling fan seems more than normal to me, to cool a high performance engine you need a good flow of air. High-performance cars are cars that still have flaws, but which are compensated for with the great emotions and joy of owning and driving certain special vehicles. You can't buy a Ferrari and then complain about excessive fuel consumption😁🤷‍♂️

I had a 2021 BMW X5MC and changed it to a 2024 BMW X5 M60i. I added every available option and package you can get with the car. Overall, I love the M60i better than my X5MC. It was cheaper, the ride quality is much better, it has the S68 engine and I am very happy with it. In fact, I love the Integral Active Steering, which I couldn't get with the X5MC.

I think the loud cooling fans are a BMW calling card... I drive a 5 series hybrid, with the 4 cylinder, and there are times when my wife will say "Sounds like your car is preparing for take off again." Even after a relatively short drive.

Also in Kansas City and have a 20' X5 M50i. You mentioned you don't always switch out to winter wheels/tires. My main complaint is the lack of a all season tire option so I can avoid having a 2nd set of wheels and tires for the winter. Any issues driving on your softer compound tires in the winter?

The brake dust and the wheel gap were my two biggest gripes with my 21 X5M. Especially when the brakes started squeaking, it was embarrassing but I still think it was a great vehicle. You just had to wash the vehicle every week or more to calm the noise.

On my 22 X4MC I’m pretty sure the auto start/stop is one of the settings for M1 / M2 modes. I have it disabled in both of them, and my car always starts up in M1 I think. Are you saying the auto start/stop mode can’t be programmed into the M1/M2 presets anymore? Also saw your comment about the X3M being more fun to drive and now I’m having second thoughts about upgrading to the X6M. No family here, just wanted something a little roomier and more luxurious. Also considering the X6 M60i for the air suspension and ~32K lower price, but I love my M seats and don’t know if I want to give them up. How is the massage function? I played with it just for a moment during a test drive and it wasn’t very noticeable, but might not have had it in the right mode.

Wheel gap can be fixed with some 325 - 35/22's in rear; 285 - 40/22's in front. World of difference on my X5.

Bro im a SWE too put my on to your financial/career tips to afford these cars. Keep up the great work!

FYI, the snow tire swap out has to do with temps also, if it’s consistently close to freezing your summer tires may crack, if you running all seasons then you should be fine.

I’m curious if you have compared ride quality of your X5M Competition to the X5M 60i. I know they they say the 60i is a better luxury ride but it would be interesting to know how much better. I really want to get the competition model as I’d want to occasionally go to the track but I also love our family road-trips and don’t want to regret driving a jarring feel every bump type vehicle either.

Nice car, video and place to live... Greetings from Brazil 🙋🏻‍♂🇧🇷

what is the name of the paint job I loved this spec very much

Are you able to drive the X5 thru the smaller garage door or is it kinda tight?

Ceramic coat those wheels, helps a lot not 100% - but definitely cuts down about 80% of it and cleans better. Yeah wheel gap is atrocious, but is not bad when or if you need to tow something - boats , mountain bikes, trailer, etc. and put weight on back end. Editing tip - Bring the music down slightly and bring your talking audio up a little. Thanks for the content.

You recommend buying or leasing

How do you like the X5M compared to the X3M ? I was debating between the two and I chose the X3M. X3M is just more fun. X5M is just too big.

What do you do for a living? I would love to afford one of these one day 😮

u can give it to me if u don't like it

M5 problems Same brakes suck make squeaky noise and they say it’s normal Brakes make a lot of dust on rims as well

Sweet SUV but good luck with the depreciation.
