The X5 50i M-Sport is a monster. Owners are getting real world 4 seconds or less 0-60mph from their draggy testing gear. . I have driven all the new German SUV’s and BMW owns this category now. Even in base spec of 40i, still out sprints the new GLE 450 and Cayenne 0-60mph. The X5 40i is almost as fast as the Cayenne S. The X5 50i M-Sport, is in another zip code of performance. BMW owns the luxury performance SUV market now. They did invent it decades ago.
@@MotorPressReviews USB-A [the one with the big port] is going away. All new devices and most current mid to high end devices are USB-C. USB C is reversible, supports faster charging and has many other benefits too. I'm actively considering getting the X5 myself and I think it's a good decision that BMW went with USB C for all their G generation cars. Apple themselves primarily offer only USB-C on their current gen Macbooks. So while I may agree that it is inconvenient for some now, its a great decision overall.
If anyone thinking to buy wait for another year you will have a trouble-free SAV. I am going to my dealer every month to fix something mostly buggy software, sensor issues.
That Interior sure looks like a nice place to be. but top trim cost of 102k.. Same price as the Alfa Stelvio quadrifoglio . I'm sure most would pick interior of bimmer but Alfa sure would be more fun to drive.
Great review. Fastest 3 row ICE vehicle on the market, faster than the Durango SRT. Best 60-0 braking distance and best lateral g’s out of all 3 row ICE SUVs. The 3rd row is small but useful to have for kids and anybody under 5’5”. Body roll can be virtually eliminated with a 1” drop using quality after market springs without any loss in comfort. This vehicle may be the king of the roads! I get 5.2 km/l or 12.2 mpg combined in mine (previous gen, a bit heavier) because I love driving it! The v8 also sounds amazing but only from outside the vehicle (the cabin noise insulation is too good...)
Vince the Stelvio is smaller and doesn’t have a 3td row. The new x3m is the competitor to the Stelvio quadrifolio and the glc63s beats both of them in pretty much every aspect, power, handling and interior quality.
The new X5 is a great car, but man I HATE this stupid black wheel trend. Makes every car look ugly and cheap. I'll never understand how anyone can like that.

Great review. Loved the bongos bit! You can get a usb-c to lightning cable [ipad,iphone] or a usb-c to virtually any port cable for a few bucks online
Thanks! True about the cables but it’s just inconvenient for no reason :)

Great review, thank you for doing it!
You are very welcome
Such a beautiful car
by the way, the X5 come with USB-C connectors so u can plug whatever you want in. You can also purchase extras for less than $5

@@constantine1321 the merc may win with interior and is slightly faster than alfa but in the handling department the alfa wins against all of them.
check seniorleb channel for X5 review much better

The car was on a winter package. The regular rims are not black. FYI and sorry I forgot to mention it.
