Just ordered a 2020 X5 with 3rd row last month. Totally agree with Mico about the X5's 3rd row. With a whole family that are around 5'3 to 5'7, we will be able to balance out the 3 row seating positions to make it comfortable. I do not recommend getting 3 row in the X5 if you have more than 2 people in the family that are like Mico's height (5'10) or taller as it just doesn't make work well
We have a Audi Q5 and occasionally need the 3rd row for short distances. Not necessarily wanting a larger Audi Q7 or even slightly longer BMWX7 and the BMW X5 might be the perfect size...slightly bigger and comfortable for me on longer travels, and not to big for her as it is her daily driver ... being able to get 3 couples in for dinner or grand kids for excursions....Great review...actually best Ive seen so far Mico
The third rows look extremely similar in dimensions. It would be very helpful if you could provide the dimensions of the TRUNK space with the 3rd row up- this too looks surprisingly similar between the two trucks.
Fits perfectly rear-facing in our truck, which has a slightly smaller back seats. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx6_FKRYB2ClSPRyjcd8HptiCS3EiQoNX4 Feels as comfy and plush as our Graco Contender carseat.
Is the 3rd row option usually ordered by the dealer or does the customer have to customer order it? It appears that there are not many 3 row X5's on the dealers lots
It has to be ordered from the factory as a part of the car, so either a dealer orders it like that for inventory, or you as a customer can place a custom order.
both X5 and X7 the 3rd row seating is basically squatting position, this is ok for few minutes but not for long journey as the weight of not only you upper body but also thigh come on your butts, and then they start to hurt.
Na the x7 is much better. If you move the middle row forward you have plenty of knee room. You have more leg room in the middle row so you could move it even more forward if u need extra room in the back and the last row seats are pretty high that an adult can fit comfortably.
If you push the second row as forward as it can go and slide your feet under the seat in front of you, your legs can get in a more normal position. It’s totally fine for anything but long drives
The x7 has more 3rd row leg room then all 2020 and below Yukon Tahoe and Escalades. Not until the new 2021 body style do the triplets have more room than the x7.
@@haysamd8643 The only problem with the x7 3rd row is how much of a pain it is to get in and out of it. The seats move at snails pace, I wonder why BMW couldn't engineer slightly faster shifting mechanisms.
My 2022 X5 with 3rd row seats has been an utter disaster. These seats quit working properly about a month into ownership….and whats worse is because of the computer interplay with the front seats, the front seats won’t work either. This can render the vehicle not drivable since the front seats get stuck in awkward positions. When this happens don’t try driving the vehicles because you will be way to close to the steering column and an airbag deployment could cause death. Adding insult to injury our local dealer in Charleston, SC can’t get to it for over two weeks.
OMG!!!!! That’s terrible!!! I was just telling my husband the power-fold button second row seats is a TERRIBLE idea!!! I get the trunk power-fold button for loading cargo, but if it’s raining and you’re waiting to get into the third row you’re just standing there waiting for the seat to go down. And then hearing your situation really solidifies that they should have left it manual or offered both.
is the camera stupid he could’ve gone around back to the trunk and showed how Mico’s body was and how he was positioned instead he kept recording from the second row and showing nothing no stupid

Captain chairs in the X5 would make a huge difference
yh if they had them I would buy the X5 in an instant

Would there be a lot more space for loading if there were no third row seating? (Meaning if the second row is folded flat as well)
How much more can you tilt the 2nd row back though
Seems like the x5 3rd row is good if you never really need it. More like emergency situations
This was a really helpful video, thank you for explaining the differences so well.

the audi q5 doesnt have a 3rd row

What would be the difference in cargo space in the X5 when the second row seats are flat, between having the third row option and not having it?

does the second row seat recline all the way back like a recliner
Please. Next time have the camera man film the 3rd row too so we can see it ourself. Thanks in advance
Thx for sharing!

@@micosilver does this 3rd row setup apply to the US market? Is it the same as what you showed in this video?

I am 6’2” X7 with captain seats fits me comfortably on all 3 rows. I was surprised how spacious it is.

The second row is not the same without the 3rd row. There's no adjustment at all in the second row unless you get the 3rd row option
SUPER HELPFUL!!!!!!
Maybe Bmw should make a Combi....that should do it
I don't get how you don't know the cars before you're showing it off while working at a dealer.

Great acting
since when did the x5 get a 3rd row...
Since about 2015.
It’s been an option since the E70.
