I have an X5M. It is a bit rough on anything but perfect roads even in comfort. I prefer to drive my X5 M50i now which is quick but without the rougher ride.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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.
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!
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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

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.

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.
It's not often I disagree with you guys. I appreciate it's a good car, well made etc. But stylish, no. BMW has lost its way in that area over the last few years. There's not 1 BMW in the current range that is good looking. And as far the instrument dials, oh dear. Remember the 80's and 90's when they had simple clear two dial binnacle.
You are totally incorrect. This model is beyond stylish. If you compare to past X5M models, it’s is quite obvious this is the best looking series to date. For one to say the entire BMW line is not stylish is just asinine.
Styling is subjective. I have a 2024 X5 40i in tanzanite blue with blacked out trim and 22-inch black wheels. I frequently receive unsolicited complements from complete strangers about the car.

I absolutely hate their new design language
You are totally incorrect. This model is beyond stylish. If you compare to past X5M models, it’s is quite obvious this is the best looking series to date. For one to say the entire BMW line is not stylish is just asinine.
Clearly looks are subjective, but X3, X5, X6 and their M counterparts I believe are all good looking.
Styling is subjective. I have a 2024 X5 40i in tanzanite blue with blacked out trim and 22-inch black wheels. I frequently receive unsolicited complements from complete strangers about the car.
@@scooter5940 That blue is just hot. Explains everything.
I think the interior would be described as "McDonalds" red.
Gorgeous driving machine for the fortunates who can afford it 😂
Rather get a jaguar f pace svr for much less
Looks like fun to drive, but that 'fun' wears off at maintenance time 😂
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.
BMWs went from pieces of art on wheels to graffiti on pavement.
M stands for Mechanic....they are always working on these.
Luv Luv Luv this vehicle.
I should have gotten the '21 but choose another top German SUV.
