Honestly, been shopping for a car for the last 6 months and I've watched endless car reviews. Yours are really the best. Keep it up!
I love that you called out the OPTIONAL features. So many videos are acting like THEIR vehicle is standard...gesture, crystal knobs, ambient lighting, Harman Kardon, allllll that is included as OPTIONAL. That base $$$ does NOT include all that. You are the only video transparent about it! Thank YOU!!!
Love this channel. All of your reviews are from a practical perspective. Unlike some reviews that act like people track their cars every day.
I will own an X5, one day. 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾❤
You can do it man!
Me too good Luck bro
I hope to lease an X5 in September 🤞🏽
Thoughts become things
Hopefully you do man
I bought one in March right before COVID-19 hit. I can say enough about how great this cat is. I just want to get in my car each day and drive .
Nice review. I wasn't crazy about the XLine styling, I went with the MSport. Awesome sporty luxury SAV!
i am very late but, my mom had the small white bmw and a lexus and now an acura for 6 years and now she is getting the x5 ! i love how you speak about every little feature! keep it up!
I really like your videos... you explained everything precisely nothing is missed and not too much is added... keep it up.. Thank you
Generally a nice comprehensive review with your personal comments. In January I ordered a 2020 X5 and took delivery in June. I loaded up on options that your test car lacked and it makes a difference. I could have gone with the M package but in the final analysis, wasted power and reduced range so I went with your engine package. Living here in Germany my US specs X5 cruises easily at 131 mph in comfort mode at just under 3,000 rpm on the autobahns when traffic congestion allows it. While the M can go faster there are few places to let it rip at those speeds so the extra range with the basic engine is very nice. It is “incredibly” smooth!!!!! The acoustic glass keeps it perfect for conversing with your goddess at sustained speeds yet allows one to hear sirens. The rear turning wheels are very helpful in parking lots and curves at speed. The driver assist and heads up display are very nice additions but it takes some confidence to initially trust the driver assist as it gives a feeling of taking over the steering wheel. My Spousal Spending Unit (SSU) and I are terribly disappointed in the voice assist....it has not worked properly once for us. I deactivated the intuition assist as I love keeping the maps up as I drive and found that feature constantly interfering with the displays. I have the off-road package (for snow and sand primarily) and the traffic jams “hold” feature is sweet in stop and go traffic. The separate climate controls for 4 seats are AWESOME and when my SSU is too hot or cold and I am comfortable she can change her settings and I can remain comfortable.....an absolute MUST feature! The oversized brakes are sweet....not ceramic but definitely extra brakes! My ventilated seats are adequate but not noteworthy.....glad I have them for when I am in a suit in summer. The night ambient lighting is OK but nothing to brag about. The night vision pedestrian assist is “fun” but requires a “co-pilot” to use since it is not really useable while looking ahead at the road. I find myself driving in comfort mode 99% of the time...even at speeds on the autobahn. The black interior gets dirty fast. Insect carcasses impacting at 125 mph are hard to remove from glass and hood. Overall a very nice car built in South Carolina THAT IS A PLEASURE TO DRIVE. It is not perfect but I have no regrets paying cash for a $77k luxury SUV. The display even shows my X5 in its green color!!!!
Another technology I love in this x5 is increasing volume, decreasing and change the track by finger motion...
Great 👍... 📹 Video
ZF transmission is so amazingly smooth. It just propels you
Been waiting on this one a few months. glad to hear your feedback is consistent with what I'm thinking, about to pull the trigger on it for my next lease. Thanks for the great work.
I am so glad that it was worth the wait! Thank you so much for letting me share it with you!
Great looking SUV. Congrats on 200k subscribers!
Another awesome review Joe. Enjoyed. 👍
Best suv. Amazing drivetrain, excellent interior, and classic looks.
I pretty much watched EVERY SINGLE REVIEW you've done. I chuckle here and there but that german pastry line got me good lol! Keep it up! Want this to be my next car! I have the 330e now!
Nice job! You have a great sense of humor. Thanks
Glad you showed the entry level. I was thinking about it. In my list🤔. For the price range. Its a challenge. Indeed an inline instead of a V is better👌
Now this is an interior that's my style 😂👌🏼
Great vid, Joe! Can't wait for that 2020 Ferrari vid!
I had a feeling you would like this one Victor! Oh it's going to be amazing!
I was waiting for this one my dude awesome review!
I hope it was worth the wit!
The X5 is a perfect all rounder...you cannot complain when it comes to this vehicle
Just got it and it is BIG FUN on all levels, including technology, comfort, style and of course performance.
Very thorough review. Thank you.
Nice review like always joe👍👍👍!! Vinny!
Congo for 200k, hope hit million soon
We just bought the white 40i (with lighter interior). We also have the heads up display, think he might have missed that. It's an awesome car. We've had everything from a 1981 Mustang GT to a Mercedes 300 Cab, This is the most exciting, sexy and elegant thing I've ever driven. Cant wait til it teaches us all it can do. Bravo BMW. Well done!
Man this thing is absolutely badass
joe i love your comment about the rear wiper!
Great vid! Very informative.
I have a 2015 X5 with 71k and has been 0 issues. Really ❤️ the vehicle and you are correct has the best transmission in the business 👍🏼👍🏼. I’ll probably buy another .
Love those wheels 🤩 nowadays the stock wheels are better looking than aftermarket! 💯💯💯
Great video, as always.Now I just have to convince my wife that we NEED this vehicle. LOL. Wish me luck.
Don’t tell your wife! Just buy it! Then put the key fob in a Tiffany baby blue box and give it to your wife.
Ha ha, yep I am doing the same thing. I am trying to convince my mom that she needs this vehicle
That was an awesome review on the vehicle. Well done. 👍👍 like the skittle part
Thanks Alex for letting me share it all with you!
Excellent review,
Great review!!!
Great review,beautiful car!
Hi Raiti great videos , can you also make a video for the X2 please
I appreciate all the great content
The design has actually grown on me, I remember seeing it for the first time and thought it was hideous
I know exactly how you feel!
Raiti's Rides more
@tommygirl20247 exactly my thoughts, idk I loved the F15, this looks way too much like a van, the rear is very slab like..lol
That front grill isnt that big anymore huh?😂
Gonna test 🚗 drive it. Great review!
It's a nice reveiw!And I find you look special like Jason Stanson.
joe i like that 2 part tailgate. very nice!
Love your work
Thanks! That really means a lot!
I order mine X5 x40i with most options. Can't wait receive it
The ZF transmission is great had 2 BMW with it just amazing
This is so very true!
Have you had any issues with your BMW?
@@chocolatedrp1 the rear the seat sensor on 2020 X5 just needed a full system reset also the exhaust failed lol and was replaced, my 2012 320i had zero problems.
on throttle! This guy is the best!
I got one yesterday it’s great 👍🏼
Congrats!
Did you get the financing special?
Such a gorgeous SUV. One of my dream cars.
I am so glad that I could share it with you!
Can't argue with the Porsche lol. But sub-100k, I'm a fan of the Durango
I haven’t rode in a new X5 yet, but I’ve owned a 2010 for 6 months and I don’t really have any complaints except the 4.8 that I have gets 12 mpg
My favorite used SUV!! Awesome job Joe.
I was looking at one of these used, do you have any reliability advice?
@@sparks5063 i've had no issues with mine. got it in december of 2020 "new" with 40 miles 😂😂 but over 3 years in it's been a workhorse. i don't even like driving but that changed quick with this x5
You know snacks and cars! Nice reviews. I traded my Q8 for the X5 because of the interior refinement that’s lacking in the Audi.
Great review
I'm loving it !!
Wow it looks great in white ! I’d just probably get a brown or white interior to break up the darkness. Great review
I totally agree with your taste!
This is awesome joe I really like it
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
Raiti's Rides :)
I’m going to get mine this year 2021 manifesting it right bow
Yo can do it!
Casual 95 mph on a city street lmao, love this review Joe
Hey Joe, will we see a review on the X3 anytime soon?
X5.....mmmmmm, very nice indeed.
Nice one Joe🙌🙌
Coming from a 2017 X5 xdrive35i with M sport and M Performance exhaust i found the X5 xdrive40i i test drove significantly different. The B58 sounds much different and much quieter than my 2017. It certainly takes off faster but the lack of exhaust burbles and crackling also the synthetic engine sounds inside put me off. I have to say the seats were comfy on the test run! I'll stay with my 2017 X5 xDrive35i
That upshift burble is real and is even louder on the outside
It sounds so good!
How does it compare to Acura aside from price?
You should review a 40i that has the optional 3rd row or m sport package
I did not notice heated rear seat controls 10:50. I recall your review of a Honda Civic recently that had heated rear seats. BMW has the reputation for having to up sell a customer to get some features that are in cars that cost half as much.
Love the snack reference. Definitely my mind thinking when I buy a car us where I hide my snacks 😅
How about doing a review on the BMW X6 M50i.
Good engine choice.
I am not liking to rear facia, those tail lights are not doing it for me.
Great review Raitis Rides
I can totally understand your view point on that! Thanks for letting me share it with you!
I'm not the biggest BMW fan, but this looks great, really really good!
One of my favorites SUV’s. Cross-shopping this with the Model X this year but the plaid X may just be the defining moment lol
Gorilla Toyz hey, what did you go for?
Sayem awaiting the plaid X reveal next month or a Model Y performance
I just bought one I love it
You are so positive. Which car is bad when it's new?
I’m not seeing the $65k in this vehicle yet and I’m halfway through the video. So far it looks like you’re paying for the Bayerische Motoren Werke AG name. Love the seats but they aren’t ventilated. Great job as usual Joe. 👍
If you want, you can option ventilated seats onto it.
See if I can convince my wife to get one of this love how it looks so far
3:07 Wouldn't the flat black plastic help prevent stone chipping into the painted metal?
Wow you forgot the speedo Rati Rides block. @ 15:12 97 MPH WOW I want one.
Joe, appreciate your videos and how well you do the reviews.
I just have one thing... you didn’t mention if you were comfortable in the back seat ? I was told it’s very small. Is that true ?
No , the backseat in my opinion is spacious! I test drove this car and fell in love with it 😊 I think I'm leaning towards this for my next vehicle!
Woahh love this🎉🎉
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Will love to own one one day
I replaced my 2014 X5 with 202 X5...love it
How reliable was the 2014?
I got one Saturday, I will do a review very soon!! I'm loving it🙌🏾😍
Please do! I’m currently shopping for an X1 or X3 right now
Breona Leonard I want the X3 but I got a better deal with the X5!
Tatara Ratliff that’s interesting
Breona Leonard I will have my video posted this weekend!
Tatara Ratliff cool😂 I’ll be watching
I Really like this BMW X5 GORGEOUS Crossover SUV, The white looks Very pretty but I would probably go for a blue or a black, But again GORGEOUS X5👍👍👍
Thanks for letting me share it with you!
Your welcome
I just bought one. They are nice.
Don't know if BMW has it available in this model, but it needs also the HUD as well as brake hold and massage seats. A split extension with individual adjustment for the front seat would be great as well.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
I wonder how the new 2020 Audi Q7 refresh will compare to the X5?.
that is a Xline model, if you get M sport package wheel arches are painted
shame they gave you a stripped down version without X-Drive. The Merino leather is much softer than the Vernasca. I have a 2020 and it ALWAYS stays in Sport Plus mode. Thanks for the SUV review, love to see more.
I will get the higher trims! Stay tuned!
great review, great SAV. I will not take this car on a test drive because I would be driving it home.
I know how you feel Rob!
We need a review of the 2024 refreshed X5 40i
Hey Joe! Love the reviews, plus the food and twinkies u always talk about. Which car gets no zonks? Or too many zonks? Jesus loves ya bud!!!!!!!
Nice rims
Lease is ending on my ‘17 530i xdrive and like the build quality however looking to sit higher up. The Apply CarPlay is a bit quirky and does not always connect. Also find when accelerating from a stop there is some hesitation in acceleration and has had me question whether to go or wait looking to enter or cross traffic. Has anyone had issues with the newer BMWs Apple CarPlay wireless connectivity? What about acceleration between 4 and 6 cylinder? What about build and ride comparison to the Explorer, you mentioned Q7 what about Q8?
Hi my lease is also ending in nov 2020 for my 2018 bmw 540i and I agree the CarPlay is super frustrating. It drives me nuts to pay such a price every month and not have something as simple as bluetooth work.
This beemer made my twinkie happy!
I am so glad to hear that!
Do they still offer a diesel ?
Can make comparison between gle and x5
just lovely
10:05 are those paddles metal?
deadass im 26 with no kids and I think this is pretty baller. Its like a baby cullinan
I’v had a Toyota 4Runner, Sequoia, Porsche Cayenne S, Lexus RX350 but resisted getting the BMW X5 for yrs. now i hav 1 n it’s fantastic! All the bells n whistles w/ metallic white n cognac interior. Harmon Kardon stereo is wonderful. 3.0 turbo engine is superb. S drive with NO AWD bcoz i liv in Southern California n my skiing days are over. No AWD means the steering feels great. Only complaint is stupid BMW gear shift...why making it different just to be different? People hav multiple cars (Older BMW, VW, Volvo, Maserati) n my X5 is in Reverse when i think its in Park. Don’t F with what works already! PRDL like everyone else IS FINE!
Other than that, i lov this car.
Thanks Steve for sharing that great input from your ownership!
Amazing👍👍👍
Can you do a video about $ vs pros and cons between these three SUV's
BMW X5, AudiQ7 and Merecedes. Thanks
I will get that together for you Sally!
Buyers beware - The quality control went down hill for new x5's and i am one of the unhappy customers related to quality of the product.
Common issues reported so far
1) Whistle noise when the car speed up >100km/hr
2) OTA software update is not available in NA
3) Back seat leathers are wrinkled
4) KAFAS camera error
5) Door creak noise i keep going on and on
I agree with all points.
I get a lot of wind noise from around the front driver's window and a lot of vibrations/rattles from the dash. My 2015 felt much better.
you zonk the rear wiper, wanna know why it is on the bottom rather than the top? A wiper wipes in a circular pattern. The way they are positioned you only get a 180 or less sweep. You don't need to see up high in an SUV which is already high, rather you need to look straight out or downward. With the wiper at the bottom you get more usable cleared glass.
That makes sense. Thanks
