LOL
Fantastic ride! Test drove a 2023 model last spring! For such a heavy vehicle absolutely amazing how fast it is and how it handles! Arranging to purchase this incredible piece of machinery soon!
I absolutely love my new 2024 X5M. Looks & runs awesome. Just south of $150k out the door but man kudos to BMW engineers. They knocked it out of the park!
The suspension is really stiff on it. It’s awesome on the highway and smooth roads, but not ideal for any one who has to drive on brick / rough / bad roads.
I think bmw is doing some cost cutting. The back doors should have comfort access! Also, you should be able to recline the seat from the boot. My x3m has both features 🤔
Eddie, for a daily...would you pick the x5m or an M8GC? Assuming storage capacity isn't an issue. Also considering panamera GTS and Cayenne Turbo GT. What's your pick? Thanks
Personally M8GC cause I like lower center of gravity and seating position. Although if I recall correctly the 8 series GC has a conventional trunk, not the hatchback so it’s not super practical haha.
@@EddieX dang lol I just bought a ‘25 x5m today. I just felt like the m8gc was a little bit of a boat. Plan is to probably trade the x5m on the new m5 when it comes out. Would have gone with a panamera turbo but prices are just so high. I think you get a better value with bmw. I’m sure I’ll trade it in soon on a 911 though ha.
I like the V8 but I had plans and ended getting a 2020 X3M Comp that’s in the 700 HP range with a flex fuel tune and some other mods… it’s a fun car to drive
I completely agree. I used to have a 2016 M235i XDrive. I missed the car, but the maintenance scared me. I recently bought the Tesla M3P- 2023. Nothing has beaten me on the street for the price. The only thing I hate about German cars, with the exception of Porsche is the resale value takes a serious hit overtime.

X5s have always been this expensive, back in the original X5 days 2002-2006 with 4.6is and 4.8is they were mid to late $70k cars, in todays money that was over $105k and that was not an M, an equivalent to like an M50i today
Hey question - i noticed the M cars have different software design than non M cars. Is there any way to get that software design on a non m car? Like yours has different color schemes and is more vibrant overall.
You can use Bimmercode to change the instrument cluster to display M style gauges. I haven’t messed with all the different settings for a while, so there could be more things you can change on a non M car.
@@russsafonin9873ok sweet this is what I was hoping for. I know nothing about bimmer code in general and as it pertains to the gauges. How do I get it?
@@EddieX it’s been out now for about 9 months. The early built 2024 models (in 2023) originally had iDrive8. BMW later rolled out an update of 8.5. I’m assuming you had one of those early builds.
I like it as well... Based on what I've heard about it on TH-cam reviewers.. Just weirder arguments m about its reusability m reliability record.. Or BMW SUV in general... Prefer the Large Driver Defender OCTA spec and design wise but the deal breaker is their sporty quality control...eg defender suddenly shutting turns.... Could price fatal if that happened on the highway
Personally i had an XM for a month i sold it a month after i bought it with 0 km like my own spec it cost me around 210$k but was it actually worth it? Well if i say in business way yes in personal prespective not that much yes its prespective more comfortable but not 200$k+ comfortable so but so value for money this is 10 times better.... Edit: misspelling
Cars beautiful, but those wheels really mess up that incredible green and black combo for me some black forged wheels would take this thing to an 11 looks wise imo
That’s why I love what I did I rather get the X3 M 24 !… the X6M is bigger than X5M and pushing P!!! But this is the same size as mines and moving like mines !!! Why buy ???? .. none the less it’s A BEAUTIFUL CARRR😍😍😍 no hate just bringing up cost

I met Eddie at the Chicago International Auto Show press day this year. Dude is super tall and super kind.
Thanks for the kind words! It was great meeting you and chatting!
Sounds super 👌 super
The speakers lighting up is very cool. My M850i has the same ones!
Such a cool touch!!
It’s Bowers and Wilkins
X5m is such a baller car
Agreed haha. Especially in this spec
i prefer m5 comp
I normally don't like green cars, but that one is awesome.
Fantastic ride! Test drove a 2023 model last spring! For such a heavy vehicle absolutely amazing how fast it is and how it handles! Arranging to purchase this incredible piece of machinery soon!
I like these vlog style car videos dude
Thanks!! Definitely leaning towards doing more as they seem to be well received.
You can make the speaker lights white while the other ambient lighting is different. That's how I have my M60i set up, and it's choice.

It definitely rides firm! I didn’t mind it on some not so great Michigan roads but I can also see how it could get tiring.
Fit mss adjustable suspension & everything is sorted plus will looks miles better too
This is why I got the M60i. Best of both worlds.

Thanks so much! Trauma brown certainly works well with the green!!
@@EddieX lol "Trauma" brown!
The run flats do not help with the ride, I replaced my run flats and about 5psi less then max and it’s night and day
Mine is ordered with non runflats
That interior is ABSURD! wowowow
It’s so wild 🔥
Love me some Trauma Brown colored interior!
🤣🤣🤣
Is this a custom color? I didn't see any of this color at CA car delarship.
Yep. It’s a special order BMW Individual paint color
How are these on roadtrips?
Have you considered the Tesla Y Performance? It has a faster 0-60 time at 1/3 the price.
Absolutely not. There’s more to a performance luxury vehicle than just 0-60 time lol

$140K for an X5? Hell even brain surgeons can't afford it now...
Brain surgeons make over 500k so a 140k car spread across 3-4 years is easily affordable

Just bought one 😊

Haha thanks!!
Absolutely stunning, pure perfection.
I find it interesting that BMW sent you a car without updating iDrive. You’re running iDrive8 when there’s been an OTA update of iDrive8.5.
Oh really. Do you know when that was rolled out? I had this about a month ago.
@@EddieX it’s been out now for about 9 months. The early built 2024 models (in 2023) originally had iDrive8. BMW later rolled out an update of 8.5. I’m assuming you had one of those early builds.
Post a price negotiation video based on MSRP, your starting point, negotiation, final accepted offer.
My 2007 X5 has the same issue with the electronics and requires a constant hard reset of iDrive. How can a company like BMW keep fucking this up?

Name This color is Urban Green II uni?
Its worth whatever someone pays. Worth is determined by the market...not the dealer...not the manufacturer.
Are the rear seats cooled and / or heated ?
This one had heated I believe. Don’t think they can be cooled.
@@EddieX ha soo expeensive car and arent cooled?
@@RichmundRichevskythey are in the front not the rear
Learn how to read
In the X7 you can get all 3 rows heated and cooled
Its nice asf, definitely want this x5 m competition
back seat comfort access is a must.

“Run it through the car wash” what you meant is your going to pay sometime to trash up the paint 🤩🤩
I don’t think you realize how rough of a life press cars live lol. They definitely get sent through contact car washes often 🫣
@@EddieX how about just wash them correctly
My eyes were glued on that A8. I wonder why😅
What’s the name of that green
Urban Green! I mentioned it a few times in the video
We gonna call her “Ghost White”
but ofc they all liked the new bmw x5 m comp, i mean its better than driving a bicycle if you know what i mean, even the base model would be ok 😂
Man I miss physical buttons
Just get a jag f pace svr its like 40k less and not much worse tbh and they hav 5 years of free service
Nice SUV + pretty girl = lucky Eddie lol
Extremely lucky 😄😄😄
I got the dark green and was close to 150k..
I’m not sure but I think he likes green
That green is dope
Can you make pov drive on highway pls
Eddie great content!!! That comment wasn’t about you! Sorry!!!!😊
Haha thanks
NO MORE COMFORT ACCESS IN THE REAR!?!?!
Dude you forgot the fuel economy and how many liters it holds
this man really wants an x7 lmaoo
Dope but the price depreciation in 12 months is brutal
That’s true of essentially any high end luxury vehicle
This is the ☝🏿.
I like it a lot !
Same here
Always the man paying lol
Eddie: Do you want pelvic massage?
Honey: Oh boy!
😂😂😂😂😂
Any color looks H🔥T on X5M Competition. Made in Greer, Sc.
I work there. 😄
Best of the best
Can you do a Porsche cayenne next
The x6m is better but this isn’t bad either but def not 140k worth
This is NOT 140k worth.
In Germany the X5m costs 160.000€ , which is 174.000 Us dollars, so it appears to be a fair price in the US not in other countries.
It’s actually more. Mine is $137.5K + Tax
@@johnnygucci9 never go full retard.
Easily
In sweden its 180.000$ - 200.000$
I have 140k for a vehicle but can’t afford to pain the garage!
I’m sorry your garage is in pain
have a x3m, love it very fast, as fast as this for faster because its' lighter, i hit 170mph. prefer the smaller size. but both great cars.
This thing is just a regular Crossover 🥱
Sounds like a brokie
turbo turtle wagon!
Next year is 80000 worth!
That’s Maserati
Shalom You Two 🦋🤩👼👋🏻
$150k for an X5 that will be worth $30k in 5yrs
Who cares
Find me a clean 5 year old X5M for $30k with reasonable miles and I’ll buy it tomorrow 😂
U jelly bro
People that have money and can afford this cars do not care about that !! You have that poor man mentality 😂
BMWs hold their value pretty well.

But why would anyone get this when the XM exists.
Because the XM is like an extra $60,000???
BMW XM Drops like an absolute rock
Because the XM is horrible! No actual moonroof, and the price of it is not it. It’s barely faster than the X5M too. Waste of money
Because the X5M is better than the XM
No way you asked this
Cmon mercedes you dropping back😂😂
You don't need that shit. Can't even go over 60 MPH.
what an absolutely pointless car. Good review nonetheless
X6 is nicer
Colour interior and exterior are terrible
