The title says BMX instead of BMW :P
I get frustrated asking my phone to do stuff, and no way BMW systems are better than Google's. So hell no to the tech inside...
I prefer the gle design language, especially the interior. But the gle with amg package looks so much better than the regular one.
If this is a sport utility then it's high on sport and less on utility. I wouldn't tow anything or go off road with this. It is just a big car.
The GLE, X7 and Cayenne are pretty much equal in great features but the Porsche is also considerably more expensive.
Yuri be like
Wheels: *I sleep*
Exhaust: *I sleep*
Gear shifter reflects rainbows: "oh realshit"
Vittorio Rossi made my day 😂
🤣
Yoo he's the best. 🤣🤣🤣
Real world at 18:30. Jake going off like a normal human when overwhelmed with tech.
I agree completely I'd rather see them get rid of all the Tech and sell it for 45 thousand
@@anthonybelyea1964 you can have that, it's called a Ford lol
@@RyguyCC not even close in build quality
@@Majelvey BMW 'build' quality massively overrated.
@Mugen Own one out of warranty then.
Jakub's first freakout - it's about time buddy!!
hahah I don't know why I love this comment so much
We all knew his calm, collected shell would crack one day and the true Jakub would be birthed. Yuri has his freakout with the Nissan Leaf...everyone has their limits with frustrating technology!
🤬
The next car with piano black interior is gonna get torched.
new here. his name is spelt “jakub” that’s the most Jewish thing I’ve ever seen lol
Some amazing visual details on this review: the shot of the instrument cluster transition to a shot of the car @0:28, top down shots of the parking assist. This was a great review. Great job guys!
Yuri: what does 40i mean?
Jakub: that means it's not as fast as the 50i.
SAVAGE
Well, he's right...the 40i doesn't really mean anything anymore.
parvathi Mudundi dumb
@@kis-jakabpeter not true, 40i nowadays is 3.0l straight 6. Before you start raging and insulting go check in google if you dont believe me.
Watched the whole thing - including 5 adds. I'm making you tons of money
Click on the ads and it will make more money.
Insane, i'm 6 minutes in and have had 3 adds pass by already
8mins in. one ad.
the whole video without any Ads, thanks to ads block :D
I have YT red hopefully they get a small %
Thank you BMW for keeping the inline 6 alive. V6 can’t duplicate how smooth the inline 6 is
I6 engines rule. Mercedes-Benz made a new I6 so it's really the perfect luxury car engine.
Kevin MZY I know. This will be my last Volvo because of there 4 cylinder only mission. These little 4 turbos all sound and feel like shit.
Polestar Wes its pretty smooth check my latest video of the x5
More and more are building i6 again, because it can be scaled from 4 cylinders. Mercedes and land rover are at it now
My next BMW will have an I6. 🤞🏻
That parking shot from above was 👌🏽
That was amazing 👍🏼👌🏼
I was about to do the contest until they said only in Canada. I unfollowed and unsubscribed 🤷🏼♂️
Jk I’m staying subscribed.

Lu Si 😂
Lol at the Americans bitching about the contest.. us Canadians always get screwed on these giveaways from other TH-camrs that are US only. So let us have this one and move on
I'm with Yuri on this. The X5 is a gigantic toy, and I love it. In today's age, even the most simplest infotainment system requires a day or two of just sitting in the car playing around with buttons to learn stuff. I do worry about all of the old people who actually can afford a X5 who would definitely struggle with this.
Hey I'm 59 and struggling with this X5, but what satisfy me is that you will get old too...
@@luiscastro5456 Lol wrong way to look at things. We'll get old too sure, but we grew up with more technological knowledge. Using infotainment in an X5 can be learned in 30 seconds by an average teenager. Sure we don't know how to build a table with our hands, but we can always use an app and pay some 5 dollars to do it for us ;)
Also, most people buying an X5 now are 30-40 years old. 50-60 year olds are buying Ford Escapes lol.
Lol I’m old 55 and i love discovering new features ever week. It’s like getting a new toy .
great move with the contest idea and contest criteria. love your vids guys, very patiently awaiting the Elantra GT N-Line review!!!
Damn, these reviews just keep getting better and better.
I love the technology, that stop in go traffic feature is a complete necessity if you deal with traffic on a daily basis, would immediately improve the lives of many of my fellow soul searching commuters. This X5 is nice but I want the PHEV system personally.
Review the 2020 X3 PHEV soon?
I'm with Jakub on this one. Feels like the technology really isn't there yet to have this level of integration. That pause between saying your request and the car responding would drive me crazy. Also, not having Android Auto at this point is unforgivable. That interior looks amazing, but it's not worth it if it's not usable.
No excuses for no Android auto!
Yeah the pause in between drives me insane lol but that's BMW. They rather push a quarter finished product to market, just so that feature is available, than putting it through more quality check.
I think BMW is unsatisfied with the privacy and data collection on android, so android auto is not available. I do agree that there is way to much useless tech.
@@wm6337 you can have android auto on any car, even if the car doesn't support android auto.
Btw, BMW and Mercedes have declined a collaboration with Apple on their upcoming electric iCar because Apple's privacy policy. Apple collects more data as Google does.
@@TheStraightPipes The Tech in cars (especially when doing something that can be as dangerous as driving) need to be super intuitive.
My iPhone is easily controlled by my 2-year-old without me showing him how to do anything. That is intuitive. Car tech needs to be on this level. You don't want to be figuring out how to turn off your seat heater while your focus should be on the road.
Intuitive, otherwise get it out of the f***'n car.
I'm loving the use of Synthwave music for the intro fellas......Great video as always, keep up the good work and congrats on the jump in subs.
does anyone know where the intro music is from
@@benkress I know this song was in The Sims 2, but I don't know it either, but I really want to find it, it sounds pretty good.
It Wouldn't Be So Bad - The Sims 2. Find it on TH-cam, but it's not a real song, it doesn't exist, and never did
Watched tons of X5 reviews but this is BY FAR the best! I just love your reviews :D
The tech rant was priceless. Cars have so many features which lots of people do not use
It’s really not that bad as he made it seem. Issue is people don’t read the manual. Taking a week or 2 to learn the the tech in a vehicle you will have for years is nothing. System is actually very intuitive and most of the features are useful.
It might not be bad, until you have to teach it to your older parents/grandparents
Roman Chyshkevych a
All standard vehicle operations are the same. At the end of the day it all depends on what a person wants to learn, regardless of age. In 10 years this will all look low tech. Technology always moves forward, get use to it.
@@RATTMAN I haven't taken a week or two to learn the tech in my Mazda6 company car which I'll have for years. All I did was figure out how to turn the most annoying "helpful" features off, but I admit I'm an anomaly because I only own a classic car and tech isn't my thing. However, I bet that a lot of BMW buyers are richer / older / busier than the average person, and accordingly they buy this SUV for the image and sell it in two years without getting to grips with half the tech. :p
MathsYknow As I mentioned before a little time learning the tech upfront pays off in the long run. I’ve actually had the new X5 since February and I love the tech. Makes driving a pleasure. Low tech Classics have there place too, but for everyday driving, load her up with tech please.
Nice review! I absolutely love the rage out over all of technology crap in these things. The parking and traffic jam features would be great in city and rush hour.
They put in massaging seats because they knew the occupants would get stressed out by the tech.
Hahaha! They should make the car automatically turn the massaging feature on when it hears a lot of swear words.
Also when they are waiting for a tow truck
Great review. Much different perspectives than many other channels.
Thank you!
Just found this channel and this is by far my favorite channel for car reviews. These guys are hilarious 😂

Hi Topher
Hlo topher
Hi Chris
“Hey BMW, massage.”
*10 years later . . .*
Bmw: “Here are massage parlors near you”
That1Guy smh its 2019 and they still cant just slap an ipad in there and call it a day lmao.
Richard Smith they do put a Samsung tablet in the 7 series
LOL - those pauses were BRUTAL
What technologies have you designed and cars have you produced? Fkn 🤡
That outro was so smooth! Great job guys, thorough and interesting review.
Great review guys. Every features of the car was explain well and detail. You guys inspired me to be a automotive reviewer too.
I just felt it necessary to say that I work in the logistics planning department at the plant that makes these, I wonder if anybody else at the plant watches you guys 🤔. Either way keep up the good work, love your videos!
Laughed my butt off! I'm not into pure acceleration, nor exhaust farts, the way you guys are but Jakob's rant about "too much tech" is SPOT ON!! :D
My new Audi (chosen a lot because of your review) has my very first back-up camera (I'm a 33-year orphaned Saab guy); I haven't been able to back into a parking spot, straight and quickly, ever since!
Guys…I love your channel! So glad I came across it! I love when you say “it’s sooo good!” I say “it’s so cuuute” equally as much! ❤️
Thanks guys! Great cinematography and review!
Got the exact same model in a 2020 and love it. Yuri is right, once you get the hang of the tech it is a blast.
Great review, thumbs up!
When my parents were searching for a car, we checked out the 16 X5 (which we bought) but the dealer decided to let us try a base 19 X5, and it was the best car I've been in. I felt so isolated and comfortable, even in 15° F weather
Oh my God, that freakout... I felt like I was right there and my brother was the one freaking out about to much tech. That's such a real situation. Lol
This review was a great example of having two different opinions on a review show. Great job!
Hey guys love your channel!!! I have been waiting for this review for a while! Just bought my 2019 x5 40i w/mpackage and love it!! The tech is awesome and the look is even better! The way you guys review the drive is 100% accurate. Yes the tech is confusing but I have definitely gotten use to in over a weeks time. Now my parents would never get it. They have my 2014 x5 diesel and can barely work the features on it. So I wonder if the older customer would enjoy or have a hard time with the features? Anyways thanks guys for what you do.
Great review guys, as always. Happy to see that your approved of the looks. I agree. It's not too outlandish compared to the new 7 series - I think the new X3 grille is too big as well for it's body size.
As a driver of a 2016 3 series, I felt a little jealous when this new iDrive was revealed but yeah it does feel a little more cumbersome. But I'm always willing to learn new things, especially when it comes to technology.
Not a fan of the digital gauges though.
Haha I like Yuri's line about having a BMW so you can look cool 😋 I always identify with Yuri and his enthusiasm for the tech side of cars but then again I am an Android user so that part me sympathizes with Jacob.
Definitely an honest review lol, thought Jakub was gonna start slamming his head against the glass, with his uncontrollable anger for less-than-impressive tech advances 😅 Sweet BMW, but for that price you could own a slightly used M3 Competition AND Porsche Boxer!
Can't wait to see what you guys are mashin on next week! 🤘🏼
Perfect timing! I just started looking at these last night!
I have Continental TerrainContact A/T tires on my 2016 Rebel and I am so impressed with them in all conditions.
Great review. I love the new X5.
The BMW X5 has a very sleek exterior design, I really like the leather seats, especially the infotainment system.
Thank you The Straight Pipes for today's review!
Chevy Toyota Dude looks like a fat hamster
s50201 keep being jealous of cars you can’t afford.
BMW Multicontour seats are next to none that I’ve been in. With the active bolsters, thigh extender, separate shoulder rest adjustments etc. it’s just about perfect.
I absolutely loved this review - you guys are the best!
Just came across your guy’s channel the past week (looking for a good Mazda 3 review) and I haven’t stopped watching reviews ever since. Keep up the amazing content guys!
Thanks!
Who goes around looking for traffic? Thank you for your sacrifice 😂
Jakub's freakout was inevitable, what with that sweet Wolverine beard and listening to TOOL 'The Pot' at 15:50! 😆
was thinking that you guys are just doing a biased review but as I watch through, I appreciate the direct/honest feedback. Good job!
I have binged so many of these, not ashamed - subscribed
Hilarious and entertaining as usual! I think if someone was interested in this car they only need to look at your review to decide whether it was for them or not.
You guys are really fun to watch! Best car review channel.
Omg that X5 is just so nice looking! The exterior that interior wow!
Would love to see a Q8, A6 or A7 review!
Your reviews are easily the best!
Jonathan Keegan Doug is better.
Dont get me wrong I like these guys but savagegeese is way better hes alot more in depth
"HEY BMW COOL MY SEAT!!!!!" hahahhaa I've watched that part like 5 times.
I appreciate your honesty. It's refreshing
I'm really feeling the drone and 360 shots. Your production and editing has gotten really good.
Dudes!! What’s with the 80’s synth wave intro? Lovin it!
They do have classes that teach you how to do all the tech stuff. I recently bought a BMW i3 and the dealership set up a 1 on 1 meeting with a "BMW genius" to teach me about the car and infotainment.
That parallel parking shot was terrifying. I know it's the viewing angle, but it's quite impressive. I have that on my '18 S90 and it works very well. I can PP, but sometimes you're just lazy, and other times it's just, "is there enough space?", the assistant always knows!
I love how logical Jakob is and how cool Yuri is
We've had our X5 since February and love it. Yes, it's a lot of tech and there is a learning curve. However, there is a lot of car for the money here all things considered. Styling is top notch, materials are great. We drove pretty much everything in the class and below/above and found the G05 to be the best one. The X5 looks fantastic with 20" wheels and 315/35/20's...almost as big as my old Vette!
100% with Jakub on the tech thing. I don't want to have to take a class to learn the full range of things my car can do.
Then buy a car from 2006? I'd rather take a few weeks to learn all these awesome features in my car than to not have them at all.
@@jpik2003 don't get me wrong, I love tech in cars. I just don't like how certain brands are cramming sensors and features in just to have something others don't. I'm going to keep buying new cars, just not luxury new cars. If I could ever even afford one
I love Jakub's freak out near the end 😂
I appreciate the tech. I'd rather take a few weeks learning and have more options than have fewer features that I can use on the first day. I agree with Yuri.
Yuri: "Do you want to talk to cars for the rest of your life or do you wanna just push hard buttons?" BUTTONS!!
That warning symbol on the headlights shows. That bmw knows what their drivers do. With high beams
our BMW (M135i) has aggressive automatic lights...it puts them on high beam, and waits a couple of 'fuck you' seconds before turning them down when a car comes the other way. it's not always the driver.
I bought the car in Edmonton earlier this month, drove all the way back to Toronto in 5 days. The "auto drive" works great except when it encounter with bad weather. It's a great car, really love it.
I think they have gotten way way better than the previous gen. It took me the first 15 mins of drive home and I figured out the features and getting a good comfortable position when I had the loaner...
"Went to the DVP to look for some traffic"
everyone from Toronto can relate to this one :|
😜
Not only Toronto, but Ottawa too😂😂😂
Great review guys! Could you also review the Kia Telluride?
18:00 that was good bro!! Its good to get it off your chest and you need a happy day man!😎
It's fun, when I first got my a class, I was SUPER stressed about the sensors, and the dashboard and all of the amazing technology. It was two weeks before I was REALLY comfortable with it, and then again, I only use the gps (which is amazing, btw).
Yea I completely agree that there is way too much tech, especially since many X5 buyers are older and don't want/don't know how to use all of it.
I know I wouldn't like the voice commands at all. I rarely use Siri or voice to text on my phone, it doesn't always work right or it's slow to react so its not worth the frustration to use. I think some of the tech is great though, like the reversing and parking features (awesome use of the 360 cam) and the self-driving aids.
Cool reviews, you guys are underrated
That "please play again" on roll up the rim was great 😂
LOL that parking spot you put it in with the top down view is impossible. You can’t return the loaner until those two other cars move :)
It’s 12:30am and I’m still here watching your video in Australia. Great work guys. Would be nice if you can also include metric into your videos too.
335HP = 250kW and torque = 500Nm.
HP/1.34=kW
ft/lbs*1.36=Nm
100kW = 134HP
100ft/lbs = 136Nm
Divide and multiple as required. Hope this helps. Another trick I use is keep a copy of Wheels magazine and just refer to the showroom section and look it up.
They're Canadian; they're using metric. The only metrics that they don't use metric for are engine power and torque but horsepower and pounds/foot have been the standard units of measurement for those for decades.
Love your reviews lads!!!
Best freaking SUV in the market, by far. By the way CONGRATS on your 435k subscribes
I’m with yuri on this one it’s like a badass James Bond SUV. PEOPLE will definitely be impressed.
I'm with Jakub on this one.
Tech stresses me out too...you're not alone Jakub!
Jacob and I are usually on the same page and this is no exception. Tech that makes things more cumbersome or more confusing is stupid. If it doesn't make things easier to use, than take it out or try again. BMW thinks complicated is more impressive and it drives me nuts. Great review!
Compliment Sandwich:
I love the look and color of the brown leather seats.
This looks like it has a lot of superfluous technology. I get the point of pushing functions to the screens so they're upgradable; but if your first version is a UX nightmare, you've failed. As a software engineer, I always say that people will forgive you for being late if you get it right, but they'll never give you credit for being on time (or early) if you get it wrong. It reminds me of when Samsung would seemingly throw every feature they could think of into their phones to find out which ones people liked.
The look of the exhaust really bothers me. Is it impossible to make exhaust tips that integrate into the bumper and are actually connected to the exhaust?
The exhaust/engine noise sounds good.
What you explained is my biggest problem with BMW's introduction of new tech. It's like they don't even quality check it before releasing it and the consumer is forced to figure out how it works. It gets better over time, but I'm definitely on board with releasing a more complete package than an introduction.
18:59 when mom and dad are fighting during a family road trip
I like the back-and-forth differing opinions at 19 minute mark, It’s good to have disagreements like this, it represents both sides of your viewers
Thank you Again for a great review 😊
"but you must be in Canada"
*Stares in imperial*
Love you guys but how did this car pass the visor test? I’ve seen other cars fail in your channel with similar gaps when the visor is extended all the way.
Amazing intro music guys! Loved it.
I like hearing Yuri's opinion on the tech at the end, and I totally respect Jakub's point of view too. That's what makes you guys good to watch!
We both understand why the other person likes and doesn't like what they do. And it's all good
It's like Jakub is having a melt down and Yuri is his therapist, talking him off the ledge. Seriously, Jakub's face got so red, I was concerned for a minute.
That was partly because the heated seats stayed on lol
@@TheStraightPipes Well clearly the voice activated controls weren't going to shut it off anytime soon!
Pausing ad blocker just for Yuri And Jakub vids >>>
Having had several BMWs, I did not find the tech overwhelming. I think it’s like getting the new iPhone, it’s different but so intuitive the change is picked up easily. Love this car!
Great video guys!, Love from Ireland ❤️
You guys explain this car good the right way 👌🏼
"a summer camp to learn how to use the BMW system" haha
@TheStraightPipes, the heated/cooled cups are a. Option on mb gle
The charger/300 had it for a few years.
@@andrewkennedy9704 yea. I feel like Yuri and jacub still haven't reviewed enough cars to say something is unique
That was one SOLID freakout by Jakub...
Keep up the great works guys! This is a two man channel! Together you guys are stonger :) A+
Great review guys! It is an awesome car, the leather looks unbelievable but damn am I with Jakub on the technology. If I want to turn a ventilated seat on, I just want to hit one button. Not hit a button, then use the touch screen. Not talk to the car and ask it to "cool my seat". Not use a weird hand gesture over the shifter. Just hit one, damn button. I feel like it'd all be confusing at first, impressive for a short while after you learn it, then just exhausting after the new wears off.
100% Agree, all this technology makes driving the car way too complicated. Imagine you got a rental car with all this tech, u would be clueless!
Also, the tech is just another thing to break down in the future.
Quite funny to see Jakub's unexcited face in the beginning of the video change A LOT as he starts driving and obviously when going off about the all the tech stuff you gotta get used to
Jacobs rant about tech was like an audible representation of my spirit animal in regards to auto tech these days.
