After owning 4 BMW X5’s, I have to say they continue to be Awesome & Trouble Free. I currently have a 2020 Blue XDrive and a 2021 White XDrive both have 335 HP & are pretty fast at 5.1 seconds. I have had them up to 135MPH and they are very stable at speed. They are perfect for passing 2 Semi Trucks at the same time. No lack of power. If you want more power get the M50 or M60 X5 with the V8 and over 500HP. Just took my 2020 X5 on a 2,400 Mile Trip to Arizona and back. It reached 25MPG and it was loaded with 800 pounds of people and gear. I was very pleased with the 110MPH to 120 MPH passes and the constant 75MPH to 80MPH where it cruised for hundreds of miles. Just a Great BMW overall. Best, B9USA Sr.

Great to see a review where the sound system is actually turned on! So many reviews where they just say what the system is without giving it a listen and a rating! Good job guys 😊

Took delivery 4/27 ordered 3/25 - 2024 X5 Carbon Black, M Sport/Pro, 22" black rims lots of compliments about the look. Was little concerned about most of the buttons going away but i8 works very well easy to learn. Car drives/rides great even with the 22"'s. TU2 B58 engine power moves it along very well, V8 not really needed with the new B58.

@seamonstersees 10 місяців тому

Awesome video with a lot of details! One question: between standard suspension and Adaptive M Suspension, will M provide more comfort than the standard, less road feel? Or is it just more stiffness only by adding Sport Plus?

@jeremysantaana859 Рік тому

Looks really nice and luxurious of the refreshed BMW X5 😍🔥

@chrislim7976 Рік тому

I have an older BMW with physical gauges and buttons. It handles well if I want to have fun and I also use it to get coffee and groceries. This X5 with the interior LED lightshow seems a bit much.

I might be getting the x4 soon, but i am afraid that there will be a new facelift version or an updated version of the idrive from 7 to 8. I just dont want to feel inferior in a way. I’ve heard that x4 won’t be having new ones. Need insiders and thoughts. Thanks

The Executive Package also includes soft-close doors -- I wish you had demonstrated them. It was good that you eventually showed the pricing sheet, but it would have been better to do that and note the color at the start of the review.

@alj.granda8252 9 місяців тому

By far, the best X5 ever! 5.2 secs. 0-60 is less than many have tested. Most say 4.7 sec to 60mph with AWD. Also, torque is listed at 398 lbs. Thx for the review!

@regulartxdude7813 8 місяців тому

I love the fact that you guys use a decibel meter to check the interior noise. Not sure if you are checking all cars on the same road and at the same speed but this can have a huge effect on the interior noise so unless you are doing this the noise ratings are not as useful. Thanks for the excellent video.

@Wisdom7I 3 місяці тому

@gestebu Рік тому

Great review as usual guys. I still prefer a traditional gauge cluster and physical knobs and buttons for climate control. Speaking of climate control, seems like you had the A/C running. Does it cool nicely? At 27:11 you can see there is a sizeable gap between the dash and the back of the display. How does one keep that clean and also what if you were to somehow drop something small behind it, etc.

@CarConfections Рік тому

Thanks! Yes, the AC works well after we got adjusted to pointing the new concealed vents

@SA-he5ej Рік тому

It's behind the display so i don't think you'll keep something there than can drop behind. Also, because of the angle of the camera, i think it looks much bigger than in real life. Let's face it... we're not perfect either 😁

@mubarikidrees Місяць тому

I like this one better, I like large digital screens, perhaps that's the trend and demand and that's why they changed! historically Mercedes had an edge over BMW when it comes to interiors, but not anymore I guess! BMW was always superior when it came to machinary part! thereby this X5 may be the best ever BMW product

@MIZUNOMP60 Рік тому

Overall, it's a fantastic machine with an awesome powertrain. Personally, I though after test driving the previous generation, I found the brakes way too sensitive and abrupt especially in stop and go traffic. For reference I was used to a Mazda CX-5's brakes which I found very smooth and didn't grab hard immediately on pressing.

@borghorsa1902 Рік тому

Mazda has some weird brakes, they are not as aggressive, I agree

@MountEverest974 Рік тому

Agreed, but to stop a 2.5tons SUV, better get aggressive brakes that you can learn to use softly, than not enough brakes 😅

@jeffreywong6842 Рік тому

Great job guys! I'm biased as I have the 2021 X5 45e PHEV, but I don't think it was a good idea to move most of the climate controls to the screen instead of hard buttons. It's a very nice screen though. The best feature I think with the refresh is the upgraded Driving Assistance package which lets you go hands free driving on the freeway up to 85 mph.

@CarConfections Рік тому

Thanks!

@glennsugana4348 Рік тому

Agreed. There are certain functions that should always remain analog: climate controls, audio controls, drive modes to name a few.

@ShadowRaptor8 Рік тому

How have you liked your X5 45e? I'm very strongly considering putting down a deposit for the X5 50e (HDA and EV power boosts are a must over the 45e for me); although I hope this to be a car I can keep for a long time and while BMW has (somehow) joined the top 3 most reliable brands, I'm really concerned about everything being in the touchscreen.

What’s the jam being played at 11:46? And the Bowers and Wilkins you can only get in the x5 m60i and x5m competition. It’s not a option in the x50 40i. BMW said people in the 67,000 range X5 starts at usually can’t afford or don’t choose to go with the $3,500+ sound system so it’s been discontinued for 2024

Nice review. I am specing one of these out right now and curious about the glass controls. Did you like them? Does the gear selector light up at night? The standard selector has a LED strip on it so you can easily see it. I imagine the glass one has some sort of illumination but there is no info out there about this. If you (or anyone else reading this) knows, please respond in comments. Thanks!!

At 18:48 you discuss the updated powertrains. I wonder whether anything changed beyond dialing up the boost a few pounds; why mess with what is arguably perfection that is the 3.0L turbo I6. Do you guys know? Or, maybe nothing changed and they just updated the specs to reflect reality (historically BMW underrates power.)

Question for Car Confection-ers’.. Would you go X5 or GLE ? All things considered, roominess, luxury, ride and handling???

@khill9963 Рік тому

Personally, I’ve always appreciated the more standard power in the X5 over the GLE as well as a few other tech features. Both are nice though, and the GLE is a tad bit roomier and it feels higher off the ground. That’s a plus also. I sometimes feel torn and want both.

Ok I’ve owned the 2024 X5 for a month and lack of controls is really not an issue. First of all auto climate setting is great, I hardly need to change anything. And if I do, I use voice control and it works great. Love the car. Probably my biggest issue, that I haven’t seen in any review, is you really need to slam the door to close it.

Good review, but for Phev vehicle test drives you may want to include a dedicated slot for testing the real world EV only range and performance. I own a 2023 X5 45e, and best part is that in the past 6 months I have driven about 4K out 5k total miles on EV alone. I have only topped my tank twice. On not so hot days, my X5 has gone more than 50 miles trips per charge. The only thing the new 50e has which I miss is the extra EV power. Otherwise, the 2023 45e was much better at for the price point, and ended up being cheaper than the X Drive gas only version, and with the $7500 tax break it made it much better deal. The 2024 model easily crosses the $80k eligibility if anyone adds some options for the tax break. Something to remember when ordering the car with options.
