- This is a Motormouth couple car review of the 2024 BMW X5M Competition luxury, performance SUV. Wow, 617 horsepower and 553 lb-ft of torque in this 2024 BMW X5 M Competition!
This X5 M and the X6 M are the first BMW high performance models to debut with 48 volt technology. The X5 M has a 4.4L twin turbo V8 with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, an 8-speed automatic transmission and a variable AWD system that allows the driver to choose between maximum traction at all four wheels or an AWD sport mode for customizable performance on road.
The 2024 BMW X5 M Competition power is amazing, it drives more like a sports sedan than an SUV with balanced handling, incredible acceleration, fantastic cornering and precise steering with a heavier feel. Standard features include, an M Sport exhaust system, an adaptive suspension, active M differential, M compound brakes and three drive modes, road, sport and track.
This new 2024 BMW X5 M Competition has sharper exterior styling with a new front end, a black kidney grille, new Maxtrix LED headlamps, new wheel designs and exterior colours. The X5 M has a staggered 21”/22” wheel setup and summer tires.
The 2024 BMW X5 M Competition interior is beautiful with a curved display, a full merino leather interior, M badging, a 14.9” touchscreen with BMW’s latest operating system 8, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto, a 12.3” digital driver display and Harman Kardon sound system. We have the available Bowers & Wilkins in our test model which sounds great. There is a significant reduction in buttons and controls which some may or may not like.
This 2024 BMW X5 M Competition is pricey but oh so fun, it’s starts at $142,000 CAD/$124,800 USD (MSRP).
Do we really care about fuel economy with this one? 18.2L/100 km, 13 MPG city and 12.9L/100 km, 18 MPG highway.

I'm pretty sure Andreas saying when the kids were growing up was: HOLD ON CHILDREN, MOMMY'S GONNA PASS!! 🤣
I tune in for the reviews my wife tunes in for Andrea’s fashions
i had a 2017 x5m . and all i remember from that car are trips to gas stations 😂😂😂😂
Means you could not afford it. Move on.
@@NoneBusiness-cf1dx i did move on. to a 2021 x6m 😂
@@NoneBusiness-cf1dxHas nothing to do being able to afford it. They mean it is a gas guzzler. 🤦🏻♂️
ya just the time involved is annoying.. I get it entirely.
Gotta love Andrea’s smile when she “punches “ it
I like how when Zach put it in M2 and floored it he glanced in the rear view mirror a few times! Always got to check your 6.
"M, for Money!" :)
I like the new way you guys show the questions on the screen! Much improved!
I have the X40i in the same Color and options. I struggle to find a place to open it up and am easily going 140kph in seconds. I struggle to understand how you can enjoy this much power without going on a track. Oh, and mine tows 7200 pounds.
A sensible observation. 👍
Difference is above 100-200 kmh, if you do not drive much on freeways, it is useless. Although now I moved to Italy, freeways are quiet empty, so you do not need to get back to the speed quite often. Before It was slowing down to not overtake with much speed difference, then back again to high speeds, or just overtaking so speeding up.
It is useless power in an SUV regardless, 50i would be ma maximal choice if I ever needed an X5 which does not have more utility than hatchbacks like Panamera or A7
Another great review - thanks Andrea and Zach! Good inputs on the controls "hot keys", much agree!
The Dravit gray is amazing 😍
love that color!
I actually love this channel!
great review!
I like the toggle honestly, makes shifting quick, and fun…
Ha! If I brought my wallet to the local BMW dealer, they'd show me a few selections that I could afford ... from a vending machine! 😂
BMW is killing it in the wheels department. Their wheel designs are so much appealing and stylish vs what Mercedes is offering. Also, kudos to BMW for having black gloss exterior elements vs the hard unfinished plastics seen on the AMG GLE’s.
I always wonder where do you use all this power except the track which people dont use as so often?
Left lanes on highway are always backed up, or cops hanging out when traffic gets thinner. You obviously can’t keep launching in residential area. One place comes to mind is regional back roads but they are so wonky. I’d be scared to topple this super boxy suv
That's one of the reasons I sold my 540iT wagon. I loved driving it but could never experience the full potential of the engine. Took off traction control once and the tires lit up upon acceleration. Now I stick to driving "slow cars quickly" rather than "fast cars slowly". Much more entertaining and my license isn't in jeopardy.
@@judih.8754 sounds scary. Glad you’re okay. I absolutely agree with you. I enjoy driving my corolla a bit rash compared to my girlfriend’s x3m lol
That's a hot looking 🔥 suv!
Great car❤❤❤
The cabin seems noisy.
You need to go fast to Starbucks drive thru, soccer practice and Costco😂.... Those cheap looking screens just ruin the interior. If that was any Japanese brand, reviewers would dump on it all day especially at this price point.
Beauty and the Beast.
Love your vids but it would be nice if you did some walk arounds or used different camera angles
In the case of my 21 M340i xDrive and 23 X3 M40i xDrive we absolutely benefit from the 48v mild hybrid even though BMW does not change the posted fuel economy numbers. You can easily average 35mpg and 30mpg respectively commuting to and from work. Even higher if you are focused on gas mileage. Since new I’m averaging 31.2mpg overall on 46,000 miles on my M340 and 26.2mpg overall on 17,000 miles on the X3 M40, both far exceeding EPA numbers.
What an amazing driving machine!
I think it would be fun if you would include a blooper or two sometimes, if you have any. Thanks
why do automatic vehicles have a tachometer? I never have to worry about the RPM because automatic shifts for me, right? I always wondered about this.
I wish I could have this car
3:58 I don't think that the mild hybrid system is only about performance, but also emission rules crackdown in Europe. Look at Porsche's 911. They had to do it as well
How do you like the suspension, even in comfort mode I guess you feel every imperfection. Can you hear a lot of road noise or is there acoustic glass?
I don’t like the 2025 BMW X3 model.
phewwwwww that bmw is a beauty. we love our X7!
Nice
That thing is a monster, wish I could afford it. But I am still waiting for my 25 Aviator Asher Grey Jet Appearance package to ship.
The folks do a good job reviewing cars.
Lives of the rich and famous….
Love the X5 M but I’ll keep my X5 40i . Plenty of performance, great luxury and comfort, good utility and decent MPG (28 hwy/25 combined) for $50k less in the US!
Yes! We have a 2021 BMW X5 xDrive40i and it's been an absolute dream to drive
The 40i is fantastic. I can exceed 30 MPG on the highway if I keep it at 70 or so, and it’s plenty quick.
I lovelovelove my 3rd X5 40i, current one is 2021. I'm due 😊 I've loved every one I've had. No trouble, great service, comfortable drive
@@DerikomonchikoMom spot on!!
please answer if possible. I have the X5 M60i. I also have a G80 M4 comp. I am thinking about going to the new 25 Cayenne GTS or the X5 M comp and getting rid of the M60 and the M4. Thoughts on Cayenne vs X5 M. I have had two Cayenne in past but the S
I have a 2022 F90 facelift m5 comp. I also have a 2024 cayenne s hybrid pebble grey (picking up a gts in September) Before the cayenne, I’ve test drove the x6m comp which is the same as the x5. It’s a really good car if you have a family, great space better than cayenne, if you don’t have a family, then get a cayenne, it’s more sportier and feels lighter than the x6. Anyway both of these cars are really nice since they are cheaper (134k and 136k) than the competition like the sq8 (169k). Im also going to trade in my m5 comp for a GT63 4 door matte black
In Vancouver this costs $150,000-$160,000 BEFORE tax. i absolutely love it, but its truly unaffordable. Even if i could afford it, i'd still probably go for a Model X Plaid instead. Over $30/100 kms city driving is astronomical gas consumption.
Averages 15 mpg combined with premium per EPA rating, blast around and it gets worse….it’s an ecological disaster.😮
How about a Jaguar F Pace SVR for more fun and a fair bit less money. And I know some think reliability is an issue. F type owner here from 2018. Zero problems.
Awesome V8 supercharged engine.
Totally agree with you on reliability! 2020 SVR here with 31k miles, including a 2k mile road trip earlier this year. Zero problems and, strangely, better highway/off-boost fuel economy despite the bigger displacement. It's a little down on torque because it's supercharged, not turbocharged, but that doesn't really matter much on the daily.
Common AJ133 problems that folks usually anchor on: coolant y-pipes (design fixed 2019), timing chain tensioners (design fixed 2012/2013).
EDIT: and it looks really low profile, too.
@@ChezDoesStuff We have to be honest..... your SVR has 31k miles. I don't think that's worth giving a carmaker kudos for getting their car to be reliable with 31k miles. Let me know when you're at 65k miles. If your car makes it there with no issues, I would agree with you.
@@bassandtrebleclef fair enough! Also just wanted to provide info on the common faults that people quote whenever they talk about the AJ133. All said, it's still doing a lot better than my Lexus NX outside the US, which started having problems at 25k Km (~15k mi).
Nice but too small...
Nice… but lease it as opposed to buying it outright. Gonna need that factory warranty!!
always a question that why some car manufacturers make SUV track machines...
Because they can I imagine. And if people buy them, so be it.
That fuel economy sucks so bad, I cannot image anyone actually buys this turkey when they can just go with an X5 Plugin Hybrid and get almost 50mpg.
Well, I prefer any Porsche over this vehicle. I like Zack said “M for money”. 😆 And he is right. Interior looks ok. Great video Andrea. 👍🏻👍🏻☕️☕️
Fully agree! Any Porsche is way superior to any BMW
It seems not to be Harman Kardon, but Bowers & Wilkins @ running time 1:20.
Yes that is a mistake. Harman Kardon is standard, Bowers & Wilkins available which our test model has.
I have the 2024 x6 M60i same color fully loaded. I love mine 🙌🏾
Wait, you said it’s a Harmon Kardon system , but the video shows a Bowers and Wilkins system. Was it a blooper ?
Standard Harman Kardon, available Bowers and Wilkins which our test model has.
Motormouth this or Audi rsq8
Is that horsepower even "allowed" in Canada? Not a buyer unless I can get it with a tan interior! Lol... Very nice machine!
Competition ? Are you going to take it to the track ? 😂
M for money!!!
What timing showing BMW and now i read in the news on BMW Airbags recall ...... lol
BMW recalls over 390K vehicles in US over airbag issues
BMW's recall covers certain models made between 2006 and 2012 that may have Takata airbags in the steering wheel
German automaker BMW is recalling more than 390,000 vehicles in the U.S. because of defective airbag inflators that may explode upon deployment, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Wednesday.
The recall covers certain BMW 3 Series Sedans and Sportwagon models that were manufactured between 2006 and 2012.
The vehicles may have a steering wheel with a Takata PSDI-5 airbag inflator that was installed by owners after purchase, even though it was not officially approved by BMW as a replacement part.
The PSDI-5 inflator has been found to be susceptible to rupture after several years of exposure to persistent high temperatures and humidity following investigations by Takata and independent researchers, NHTSA said.
An explosion of the airbag inflator could cause sharp metal fragments to hit the driver and other occupants of the vehicle, which could cause injury or death, NHTSA explained.
The faulty airbag inflators were manufactured by Japanese automotive parts manufacturer Takata and have been at the center of the largest and most complex recall in the history of the automotive industry.
Takata was once the world's leading supplier of airbags and filed for bankruptcy in 2017 amid the widespread recalls.
* * ....................... "How is it as a daily driver?".........
.............WRONG QUESTION!......................
.........The right question is this: How long will this vehicle spend in the Dealer's Service shortly after purchase?
....................And the right answer: A LOT...owner will make good friends with the mechanics/technicians! !!! * *
Andrea flubs stereo brand, not Harmon Kardon... quick, splice and replace.
It comes standard with a Harman Kardon sound system, available Bowers and Wilkins which we have on our test model. The editor showed Bowers by mistake in key standard features instead of Harman Kardon.
I used to prefer bigger wheels...not anymore because of how stupid expensive tires are nowadays plus the cost remove (old/worn set) and install(new set) - charging based on wheel diameter size for alignment too
It’s bowers and Wilkins sound system not HK

Andrea your choice 25 Cayenne GTS vs X5M sport?
Cayenne GTS ❤
@@andreaspencer9813 thank you much, saw your recent reviews and realized how both you were excited with new GTS
@@olegshulman7764 I just find the GTS to be a little more comfortable as a daily driver. The X5M Competition is on and wants to perform at all times. It doesn't do as good of a job eating up those bumps in the road. It's still a fabulous SUV, I just think as a daily driver it might get a bit tiresome.
FAAV? Are the out of D livence plates already?
Ontario "French" plates
The fat tires add to the athletic look significantly.
The problem for the BMW X5M Competition...is the lower-level X5s! The 40i and 60M are so good that BMW has made the X5M Competition obsolete. Not sure that I would fork out the HUGE bucks for the X5M. BTW I am a big guys...but if I am being honest Andrea is the superstar of this team. Without her, I go back to my other TH-cam Car reviews.
Whenever I see low profile tires on an SUV, it goes on the more money than brains list. Not interested anymore. But ....Andrea looked great, as always.
Cayenne GTS more elegant and it does better from a depreciation perspective.
Those GIAGANTIC IPAD screens need to go.
😅😅😢😮😂
Reeks of cost cutting and lazy design.
it's what those leasing say they want. Except me. I want analog gauges. But then I'm never going to buy this car.
Don’t buy one if you don’t like it. I personally love it.
@@bassandtrebleclef Right there with you. I still enjoy the analog gauges and numerous buttons on my BMW.
Quarter million for 'Rover !!!
So if you had to choose...this or an equivalent Cayenne?
Most likely Porsche
@@timothycheuvront8284 Cayenne, all day long. Overall superior engineering, performance and reliability. Worth the increase in price IMO.
Cayenne all day!
What is "the equivalent Cayenne"? I think even a GTS with just a naturally aspirated V8 trumps this, for roughly the same price, but it wouldn't be as fast.
$158,000 Canadian? BMW lost their damn minds.
This thing is pretty crazy. Car & Driver said that if you don't take it to the track you cannot truly appreciate this particular X5. I'm not saying dropping $160K on a grocery getter makes any sense to me but at least it isn't a pretender.
Bro just stick to your rav4 and foresters
Plus NDP's extra tax, total close to 200K.
It’s only money. Many can afford it.
@@brucemadu8535indeed. It’s not for us “slave laborers”. People will buy it if they can afford it.
It’s becoming hard to watch cutting each other off
Minor correction but you said Harman Kardon sound when it is actually B&W. Both sound great.
It actually comes standard with the Harman Kardon sound system, but we have the available Bowers and Wilkins in our test model. Should have shown a picture of Harman Kardon.
@@andreaspencer9813 I stand corrected! 😂 Thanks for clarifying
The X3 has been completely redesigned for 2025. I like the new design but a lot of grumpy old BMW fans are whining about it. 🙃 I see a lot of X5s in Downtown Toronto and I just don't get it. The X3 is so big now, I would go for the X3 every time.
I am not a fan of the huge rectangular displays in the newest BMW’s. You can still have an analog looking cluster but in digital display.
Bower and Wilkins instead of Harman Kardon isn it?
It actually comes standard with the Harman Kardon sound system, but we have the available Bowers and Wilkins in our test model. Should have shown a picture of Harman Kardon at the beginning.
Loving those tight jeans!
Badass car with a badass price 😂
Just buy a regular x5 and put some racing stripes on there it will add at least 100hp
BMW for Break My Will. I will not buy a BMW. I will not buy a BMW. ... I will buy a BMW. I am buying a BMW. Where do I sign my life away.
As someone who just got their first one. I can’t explain how different these vehicles drive. Even in an suv, you can drive it like it’s a small sedan.
You feel confident, going around a corner quickly.
Engineering is still great but the styling lets it down, which is a shame. This is just too boxy, and the digital screen display again looks like an ‘add-on’ to the dash instead of seamless integration.
I prefer this boxier look visually, and it allows better head clearance and larger windows.
You want an SUV not to be boxy?
just shut up
nice review, however if this BMW has 72.3 cubic ft of cargo space it is actually SMALLER than that of the GLE and not larger, the latter of which has 74.9. I only know this bc I am shopping out for either this car or the GLE63, so I am very aware of this facts.
Gorgeous driving machine for the fortunates who can afford it 😂
The shiny piano black shines the sun in your eyes, there's your safety standard 😊
Higher price just means worse depreciation. 😂
Looks like fun to drive, but that 'fun' wears off at maintenance time 😂
Harman Kardon? Mhhh… B&W
Standard Harman Kardon, available Bowers and Wilkins
One Hundred and Thirty Thousand dollars. To start.
M - for money pit, endless one...
What a needless ground tank 😮
Not about need. It's about poor judgement.
It's a racing truck.🚙 An SUV for the track. 🏁 Yeah, kind of unnecessary. 🏴☠
I bet they had to pry this one out of an Andrea’s hands. Lol
M stands for Mechanic....they are always working on these.
You get beat up on the price
Price is ridiculous on a plie crap 😂😂😂😂
Some women believe money grows on trees.
BMW hideous design language is getting worse and worse. Well said Zack (M for money) 😂
Rather get a jaguar f pace svr for much less
Dude thinks the X5M should come with everything at that price but they own a Porsche Cayenne which has everything a la carte for more money.
OH MY GOD ITS TOO BIG to me it looks like a x7 sizeed x5
BMWs went from pieces of art on wheels to graffiti on pavement.
Is that bluish? Kind of looks bluish.
The exterior Color is called Dravit Grey ($1500 option on the x40i). Flat grey in low light and greenish grey in sunlight due to the metallic gold flakes. It’s a very nice colour.
Who really needs 617 hp on an SUV ????? And it's not rated for towing. What a waste !!!!
The Rear Wiper is super ugly. It should be gloss black or hiden.
This looks way better than that bmw XM, that was overpriced and hideous
It is ugly and outrageous prices and gas guzzler..poor quality 99% of us never be able to even test drive it.. lol but glad to see you review it. For the 99% of normal people
In today's 'climate', why do we need this? Hybrid aside....
For a spirited, fun drive that ALWAYS puts a smile on your face. 😊
rich kids and sugar babies
We don’t “need” a car. Take public transport.
I cant believe theyre still using shiny black plastic all over the interior. yuck!
