I was really considering this or the GLE. Really great, thorough review you got here. This black with black rims is something special too! You’ve convinced me. X5 it is!!!
Dope! Truly excellent work, Chad!! I'm really digging your intro style, and I'm super impressed by your highly-detailed analysis. This BMW X5 just looks sooo mean 🤩💪🏽🏁 Keep up the stellar work man!! P.S. I think it sounds great! And indeed, those engine bays get HOT, haha
Thank you so much! That's my new "intro" now, a little bit more straight to the point! I'm glad you noticed!! And yes, those engine bays get hot QUICK, and that Miami heat didn't help any! Lol
Great job - you actually taught me something about my 2020 X5 that I didn't know. Hold that hatch open/close button up to close automatically... Thanks.
We bought one today and will pick it up tomorrow. Pretty much identical in looks except the wheels are different. It’s the black sapphire X drive model with the executive package. I’ve only seen it inside a parking garage, it actually wasn’t the car we test drove. After we got done with the test drive, one of the employees was re-parking it and I fell in love with the blacked out look. It just caught my eyes. Another family had been interested in it and were still thinking about it and wanted a day or so until they made a decision. We swooped in and snagged it. =D
Excellent and straight forward review. I swear I thought the 3rd row seating option was no longer available in the X5 models. EDIT / UPDATE: I stand corrected. I did a quick Google search and it is indeed still available for now.
Another update. I did some more digging and it appears the jury is still out on whether you can get 3 rows in the X5. Another TH-camr review said he called various BMW dealers and received differing answers. Some said they are not taking orders for 3 rows, while others are saying they are. If I stumble across his review again I’ll update with the channel name and title of review.
Love the X5. Have one now (2017 xDrive35i) and owned another before (2013 xDrive35i). I would go for the xDrive over sDrive, just me got used to AWD over the years.
❤❤ real king of the 10k ft mountain road here is bnw x5 40i. I have one and I love going up there all time and feel confident with moutian highway little till angle
I have a 21 x5 m50i and have been extremely impressed so far with the comfort and power. Love the look of the guy in the 5.0 mustang that I just beat 😂
I have done some research on German card in general and I have read many comments that after 5 years of ownership the cars start to have a lot of issues with engines, electronics, transmissions, breaks, etc please comment om the overall cost of ownership over a 5-10 year span
Good review ,but you should correct the error telling this is a V6 , it’s the inline 6 B58 engine, used widely across BMW models and the Toyota Supra too. For a reviewer getting the basics like engine wrong is a major no no. Hope you agree?
I started getting anxiety with the speeds going through Aventura which has a police department that has nothing better to do than issue speeding tickets... you almost went through that school at 85 lol.
They won’t even option Bowers if you’re not buying the x5M or the 7 series. You could get Harman Kardon but only with a m50i. They took out the fog lights. No one uses them but I want them cause the car is expensive.
Huge! Inline 6 cylinder vs. V8. V8 is definitely more responsive, quicker, drinks more gas. A bit more engaging. The 6 isn’t anything to skip over though!
@@DownshiftPass excellent thank you so much but if I get the 40i fully loaded. It wouldn’t be anything noticeable interior wise right? It’s for my wife
Not trying to sound smart but it needs the radar sensor in the front bumper and the second camera on the windshield for it to be an adaptive cruise! My 22 is exactly this way
I was really considering this or the GLE. Really great, thorough review you got here. This black with black rims is something special too! You’ve convinced me. X5 it is!!!
Thank you for watching !! Glad you found some value in it-
Are you happy with the decision? I'm thinking of buying this year and spec soon.
Welcome back. Been missing the best Vehicle reviews on youtube!
Thank you! It's great to be back!!
Dope! Truly excellent work, Chad!! I'm really digging your intro style, and I'm super impressed by your highly-detailed analysis.

Have the exactly same build! Loving it so much from day1!!!
This thing is near perfection!!! Nice ride ya got!!
This video was AWESOME!!!!!! Subscribed! Can’t wait to see your progress!!
Thanks for subbing!
Great job - you actually taught me something about my 2020 X5 that I didn't know. Hold that hatch open/close button up to close automatically... Thanks.
Boo-Yah!!! Glad I could help! Haha!
Does this really work on the 2020? I had no idea. I’m gonna try that out
@@gmw143 Yeah - I had no idea and it's so convenient for closing the hatch.

Awesome purchase! It truly looks stunning with all the darkened bits on it!
Excellent review! 🔥
❤❤❤
One of the best reviews man!!
Thanks so much for that !! I really appreciate it!
Great video - just got mine (almost same spec) last week. Love the drive experience!
It's truly an awesome vehicle !!
Enjoy your reviews. Wondering if you will be reviewing any of the German sedans. Audi, BMW, MB… would really enjoy seeing some of those soon. Cheers!
Thank You So Much!! If I can get my hands on one soon, i absolutely will !!
Excellent and straight forward review.
I swear I thought the 3rd row seating option was no longer available in the X5 models.
Most people would be surprised to find this out! Haha!
@@DownshiftPass bro I got 40i omg compared to diesel and 7 seats carbon black the street lights up
Nice review! We just got ours with the same package.
Very cool! Thanks for watching!!
Excellent and straight forward review.

Sure is! I'd just swing for the X7 at that point though! Haha!
@@DownshiftPass EXACTLY what I was thinking. Things would get fairly cramped in the X5 with 3 rows of seats.
Another update.

It's so easy to get used to AWD and never go back!! LOL
❤❤ real king of the 10k ft mountain road here is bnw x5 40i. I have one and I love going up there all time and feel confident with moutian highway little till angle
Getting my early next year 🙏🏿
Just ordered the 2023 version of this BMW X5
I have a 21 x5 m50i and have been extremely impressed so far with the comfort and power. Love the look of the guy in the 5.0 mustang that I just beat 😂
The M50i is BONKERS!!
I have done some research on German card in general and I have read many comments that after 5 years of ownership the cars start to have a lot of issues with engines, electronics, transmissions, breaks, etc please comment om the overall cost of ownership over a 5-10 year span
🔥🔥 beautiful
I would agree !!
Great x5! But not fully loaded... no active cruise control and it is a must, I don't understand why it's not a popular options for x5.
It is not a V6 it is an inline 6
Good review ,but you should correct the error telling this is a V6 , it’s the inline 6 B58 engine, used widely across BMW models and the Toyota Supra too. For a reviewer getting the basics like engine wrong is a major no no. Hope you agree?
I absolutely misspoke and acknowledged it in previous comments. Thanks for your attention to detail as well !!
I started getting anxiety with the speeds going through Aventura which has a police department that has nothing better to do than issue speeding tickets... you almost went through that school at 85 lol.
This was ABSOLUTELY filmed exclusively in Mexico. I haven't a clue where Aventura even is! :-)
Can you feel the difference with the sDrive vs the xDrive?
It’s a B58 in-line 6 turbo NOT a v6
Definitely misspoke by calling it a V6. Keen ear you have! LOL
Hello what kind of trim do you have in your x5 sir. Is the wood mate or metallic
This was a wood if I remember correctly
ordered one in same color.
Nice choice !! This thing js stunning in it!
They won’t even option Bowers if you’re not buying the x5M or the 7 series. You could get Harman Kardon but only with a m50i. They took out the fog lights. No one uses them but I want them cause the car is expensive.
Agreed!!
I got BW on my 22 but also not happy about the missing fog lights
I got mine with bowers in the excellence package
That’s why I just got a slightly used 21 x6 m50i… nardo grey and is fully loaded 🤧 BW.. fog lights… got it all
This is a Straight 6 not V6
You are 100% correct! Misspoke on my part.
How many SUBSCRIBE pop ups did you need to put? Because of that, I wouldn’t.
Haha! I've gotten quite a bit of feedback on that, and have worked on it in subsequent videos! Thanks for watching!
Question. Is there a major difference between the 40i vs 50i?
Huge! Inline 6 cylinder vs. V8. V8 is definitely more responsive, quicker, drinks more gas. A bit more engaging. The 6 isn’t anything to skip over though!
@@DownshiftPass excellent thank you so much but if I get the 40i fully loaded. It wouldn’t be anything noticeable interior wise right? It’s for my wife
Oh no! Not at all! Same interior layout
Thank you for such a great review! I just ordered mine with coffee colored seats and X drive because I live in snow country.
xDrive will definitely come in handy! Nice purchase you made!!
@@DownshiftPass Thanks!
This X5 does NOT have adaptive cruise! Because it isn’t equipped with driver assist professional. It has the standard cruise and speed limit assist.
It actually is equipped with it but due to the chip shortage, the feature (along with a host of others) is missing. :-(
Not trying to sound smart but it needs the radar sensor in the front bumper and the second camera on the windshield for it to be an adaptive cruise! My 22 is exactly this way
45-50mph in a 25…. 🤦♂️
You access to a racetrack ?! I sure could use it!
The real king is xdrixe not the 's' one 😉
See how it performs here :

I'm a purist. RWD me please !!!
I would've cancelled my order if the touch screen is cancelled
Haha! My thought exactly! I asked the owner and he said he received a discount and felt he could live without it!
??o?o??
Thank You For Watching!
It doesn’t have adaptive cruise control , next time, do the homework before do the review
You sure about that smarty pants ?
Is that mile? in display?
Yes
