#BMW #X5 #Turbo - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Great review, finally somebody reviews the base model. Not everyone wants or can afford the top of the line model. That one has everything you want. Nicely done!
Thanks a lot for a great review - keep em’ coming!
I have ALWAYS wanted an X5!! Thanks for reviewing it!!
Love the split tailgate! Keeps groceries from spilling out 😀
Surprised Tommy didn't mention the 7200lb towing capacity, would have loved to see it on the IKE.
Tommy how does it compare to the Model X you have been reviewing? Which is more comfortable? Fun to drive?
I wish Lexus do some benchmarking of the X - series. The trunk is just small in the RX in comparison to most SUVs of its size.
It is obviously a great car, just not a utilitarian one so road trips are hard due to lack of trunk space.
P.S. On my X7 rental, it didn’t have cooled seats as does my Toyota Avalon, but between the perforated leather seats and excellent A/C front and rear, I didn’t miss the cooled seats despite the hot and muggy Kansas summer. I suspect the X5 would feel the same.
Hooray! Great to see BMW ConnectedDrive getting a kicking. Was on the phone to UK customer services about mine again this week. I give up. Needs a lot of refining.
It's on top of my "next car list".
I just got rid of my Ford Explorer Sport for a 2019 X5M. BEAST! Love the quality of the entire vehicle, everything about it reminds me that I made it. My Ford had issues with turbo return lines, coolant lines, exhaust leak, and multiple fit and finish issues, but it still ran for the 3 years we had it. I bought the extended warranty and of course we paid cash as we do not believe in financing. Love this SUV. 6k miles and so far nothing but smiles.
I got my 2019 X5 40i 3 months ago. Every day it reminds me that I made it as well :) First BMW after 16 years of being single owner of a 2003 Toyota 4Runner (which still runs at 240K and now a hand-me-down to kiddo). I chose to buy the less fancy X5 w/o air suspension. I chose to turn off a lot of electronics that I don't need and just simply enjoy the way it drives. Such a sweet monster on the road!!
How has it been?
great review of a wonderful car/SUV - I definitely like it too.
Wondering if it still have the option where you press unlock twice and hold and all windows go down and moon roof opens
Have clean 2003 x5 and 2013 x5 , I like them both , and the following X5 , this one looks totally something else , I guess got to get use to , great video 👍
All BMWs - hold down unlock to open all windows & sunroof
The difference of f15 vs g05 besides the looks? Any good videos?
The G05 BMW X5 is very underrated in power, these cars are very quick for a 6 cylinder. I have some videos of the X5 on my channel as well.
Did you tried the off road package model equiped with rear LSD?
I made some small oof roading videos in this channel X5OR
Can you guys get a off-road pack X5 and take it off road? It’s more capable than ever and I would love to see you guys do it
Euro Cars
10.3 inches of ground clearance, off road protection and locking diff, it’s definitely capable now, which always lacked in F15 and E70.
@@AR-um3ux In what country is it available? I want to visit the website to see ;)
Waldemar Ishibashi
Every country
@@aidenp5768 Yeah! My new favourite car I will never own ;)
I just love black plastic cladding on a luxuries SUV than can be used for road trips to the mountains.
I hope the trunk opening will get more popular. It is useful for tight spaces.
How does this handle off-road?
Will it go up Goldmine Hill or its replacement? I can't remember what new Goldmine Hill is called
That’s the one reservation I would have about taking an X5 or X7 off-road. I would be scared about ruining the finish!
What's that about 48 Volt Hybrid?
Beautiful Car
Do BMW vehicles still have that resale cliff that drops a ton once the warranty runs out? Bought a low mile 3 year old 328 for 1/3 the sticker last summer.
Only poor people buy a 4 year old BMW. If you cannot afford to own a new luxury car then don’t buy a used one. Not everyone is meant to have the best.
@@miketheman4341 lol 😂
@@miketheman4341 That is the such a snobby thing to say (and think). It's a major eye roller statement. But...whatever. Proceed in your life. Good luck.

Facts are facts! If BMW has reliability issues then only a poor idiot would buy one out of warranty. The well off buy new cars. The ghetto crowd buys old luxury cars at 15% interest over 7 years.
Facts are not offensive! They are just facts.
I own this car. Are you sure it has an electric motor? I can't find any info on that. I can't drive it in electric only, ie eco pro the engine is still on. My dealer doesn't believe there's an electric motor. Please advise.
Tommy is confused with the 2020 X5 xDrive45e. The Xdrive 35i, 40i and 50i are not hybrids. The e variants are hybrid, the i variants are not.
Fuel tank size?
What size wheels on this car ?
Also I believe pressing tbe close button on the top half of the boot automatically closed the bottom too.
Great review, BUT it seems a little short. Let’s do some acceleration pulls, and take one off road! Thank you for all the work you do.
Totally agree. He said it was the best car he's driven in the past year right off the bat. You'd think he would drive and talk about it.
Lol he says it’s not loaded, straight up has auto cruise control package , full heating and head up display packages and probably more. Plus it’s the 40i with the 335hp motor.
The good and the bad is the incredible depreciation the German Cars have. It’s good because I can buy one that’s a few years old for half. The bad is it keeps dropping like a rock. My primitive Wrangler by comparison only dropped 1/3 of its value in 4 years. Amazing.
Car they do a odd off-roaders episode that be awesome
I recently requested a mid-sized sedan when I rented a car. They were out of those, and gave me a free upgrade: a BMW X7 i40! I had so much fun driving that for a week. It’s now making me wonder how I could afford a BMW! We’re I to buy one, I would likely opt for this X5 to get the same awesome turbo six, air suspension, and other goodies in the X7 but in a slightly smaller package, since I would be the sole occupant 90% of the time, and only two occupants the other 10%… except for all the people who would want a ride. ;)
It not the owning that's easy. But the repairs.
Starts at 1:21
Hahahaha, the bars in the engine bay look like they are straight from the Geometric Dome Climber Jungle Gym! LMFAO!
Very good video
Nice review Tommy! I agree with the engine choice. I had a loaner while my car was in for repairs. This is plenty quick. BMW's are known for their inline-6 engines more than their V-8's. A lease vehicle for sure.
So.. Is X5 40i is a slow X5?? How about 30d and 25d then?
Nice review Tommy!
I’ve had mine for a month now. Got the m sport option. Fantastic vehicle. I have black with that same interior.
Still have it? How has it held up? Be truthful! I'd like to get one for my wife but am concerned about reliability. Thank you.
@@rxonmymind8362 hey there, I would not own any BMW out of warranty. We traded in the x5 this year for a new x3. My wife wanted something smaller. It has full warranty and service included for 3 years. Nothing wrong with the x5 but the warranty was up. BMW maintenance is $$$. Unless you know a mechanic or you have the money don’t own a BMW out of warranty. Great vehicles but you need a bank account to keep it running nicely. I used to own 328 and it was great too but it became very costly for maintenance so I moved on from it.
Why so many squeaks when releasing or closing the trunk???
I would love a M model bmw
Great video, use to watch tlfcar all the time years ago.
What was the purpose of emphasising "Slow" in the title?? You never spoke about it being slow, and the 40i isn't the slowest and least powerful model in the line up.
The 40i is the slowest in the lineup but not in the segment.
@@heartcomedy5 Well in the united states's lineup it is in other countries i think the lowest is 30i- 30d engine
MythicMexellic, yeah
@@heartcomedy5 Here in Australia the slowest in the line up is the 20D, 4 Cylinder twin scroll turbo, then 30D, 35D, 40i, M50D, 50i, X5M.
@@MythicMexellic We have a 4 Cylinder Diesel in Australia too. 20D.
1:23 - you’re welcome!
It’s funny that ya’ll put an ad in a car ad video
48 volt electric system has a lot to prove, I'd give it a couple of years to prove itself but at least the engine is proven, a real gem
This car doesn't have the 48V system
I bought a 2018 X5 Certified , it was in the shop first month, in the rain the water leaked like a fountain thru the light in the ceiling, apparently sunroof drains got clogged, BMW dealer had to take the whole front apart , dry the computer and controls it was a nightmare, I tried to return the car clearly it was a lemon at that point, they tried to scam me, they wouldn’t refund taxes , prep and financing fees, and I had to buy a different BMW. So here I am stuck with it. Not what I expected from a premium vehicle or BMW dealer. If you buy one, make sure you have a real car as backup , just in case. Forget about long trips.
I have it now for 2 years, I grown to like it. But clearly BMW cars are compromised by faulty engineering. They have their head in the sand. And won’t listen to their customers.
😬
Best all around suv on the planet, and I have had them all.
Hahah exactly you've had them all..... they didnt last
However you could afford them all, so you're doing very well!!
@@beaudaniel1370 What are you? 5 years old?
@@Random-ye1xr Explain your reasoning good sir.
@@beaudaniel1370 By had them all he meant all other brands. Obviously English is not your first language
Good BMW X5
I agree the 40i is plenty of power ..
I had an 2012 X3. Back when BMW made beautiful in line sixes with no turbos. That is the second sweetest automobile I have owned. Beautiful engine and ride handling compromise with an flawless interior. It was rock solid reliable also.
? Are you sure.. no turbo?
@@robertmitchell9276 not a fan of the turbos. They are fun but not as sweet as the N/ A motors. The n/a six would rev to 7000 rpm. Making more power along the the way. The turbo was done by 5000 rpm. No need to rev it that high. The turbos had so many problems. Expensive problems.
Hennessy interior, damn.
It does not have the 48v system
I wouldn't get one right because it has a lot to prove, if it exceeds expectations then I'm all in. Takes time for a verdict
Front heated seats are standard. The option is for rear seats.
Jason O'Quinn, no they’re not.
Todd O Under “Comfort and Convenience” you’ll find “3-stage heated front seats”. www.bmwusa.com/vehicles/x-models/x5/sports-activity-vehicle/pricing-features.html
That screws on the back of the seat is actually for BMW rear seat entertainment monitor option.
Im using carly and it paid by itself a lot of times
the front kidney grill is too large and feels like it did not have space to expand more enough
the thing i hate about bmw is rear seat. Hard to get in and out compare to other cars. If the car gets dirty with mud, getting in the rear seat will dirty the pant.
Is Nathan no longer on the show?
How long until it starts to fall apart?
Had so many issues on my brand new E70 within the first 2 years, not the kinda of quality I expected from BMW, people please be warned
E70 old af 😂 this is the G05 tf
Good review. Can you share the options you chose for this one - maybe a shot of the window sticker? Thanks.
HA! Awful review - what a joke.
I do not miss my X6 one bit. I switched to a Jeep GC... I’ll never go back. Sounds like a vacuum cleaner 🤦♂️
I love my GC too. Got the diesel which you can't get from BMW anymore. Sticker on mine was $53k but bought it used for $29k so quite a bargain compared to BMW prices and mine has almost all the same features as his plus more (cooled seats!)
@@burnrubber2002 We have plenty of petrol and diesel options for BMW in Australia.
The greatest feature is still missing: an electromotor powered by a battery. Come on BMW...
Ok so when you get these press cars is there like a way a citizen can buy them
Poor auto reviewers seem to be in a predicament. If they speak of the high price honestly (or the likely long-term reliability of the aging plastic laden parts and subassemblies) manufacturers will not lend them vehicles to test. Seems like a value assessment is "Wow, that is the wrong price for this market for a car that becomes very expensive as it ages). Especially compared to say a $32k Camry hybrid.
Haters are just jealous that they cannot afford a car like this. I drove one not long ago and it was amazing. The ride was smooth and quiet, the handling was fantastic for an SUV, and it just looks so much better than the previous generation both interior and exterior.
I have it, nothing special , it’s mediocre to ok, you can buy a 4 year old BMW at 70% off original MSRP, cause that’s when the real nightmare starts, it’s a buttomless repair pit. Thousands and thousands $$$ wasted on repairs.
@@humungushumungus213
How many repairs have you had?
@@humungushumungus213keep lying g00fy
I'm going to correct a few things the finish trim inside is not super high quality. BMW has cheapened the interior substantially from earlier models, with cheap plastic and synthetic leather materials that will not hold up over time. Rear seat legroom is surprisingly small for what is supposed to be their second most spacious SUV model. Seats are not that comfortable driver seat in here is the base seat instead of the comfort seats that should be standard for $60k . Should have heated and cooled seats and this does not as there's no perforated leather because it's a cheaper quality build. You'd also think air suspension would be standard in this trim, it's not, and the steel springs are truck like at best, not a refined German SUV feel. This vehicle is difficult to justify as a purchase for $60k I'd look at alternatives, to get more value for your dollars.
It’s the best version and it’s because it’s the most mechanical and simple version that it’s the best version by far. It’s pure BMW. I disagree about the orange interior though. Even if you’re someone who won’t still own one of these in a few years we will all still have to see these fad cars with orange interiors and I hope that classic luggage tan interiors return soon.
A 90 second ad about carly in the video? That's gotta be a new low.
I need that background music bruh. Drop the link.
Review without driving footage? Naaa.
Im glad BMW copied my VW Atlas LED headlights u shape. They've got good taste :)
That ain't flat,that's almost flat.
$85k to $114k here in Australia......way to go BMW......
U are living thousands of miles of where it is made 😂
You kidding me? All over 120k new when i search in West Australia.
All BMW's looks really annoying without M exterior trim.
Tommy, please check your facts, the i variants are non-hybrid, the e variants are hybrids. The upcoming 2020 X5 xDrive45e has an electic motor, the 35i, 40i and 50i are not hybrids (no electric motor.)
They all have "mild hybrid" functionality now...powers the electronics and generator used to start/stop just no electric drive motor.
dame you are tall bro
how reliable is the X5
Wouldn't know on a new car... Long as it's not the v8
This review really stunk. If I want to know the features I'll go to the dealer. I don't know what the reviewer was trying to do here but it was boring and a lot of it was common knowledge.
better than LC500???
Uh I'm not ....I am questioning his comment on best vehicle he has ever driven, when he stated in another video the same exact comment . I'm not an idiot
It ain’t no Touareg!!! I don’t think any vehicle has surprised me anymore than the big VW. The BMW Beautiful SUV though!

Probably the single-most de-legitimatizing aspect of ALL automotive journalism (especially American auto journalism) is that fact that none of the them review a bad vehicle.
Reality is there are plenty of bad vehicles out there.
But the incestuous nature of the game ensures that the viewing/reading public is guaranteed to be misled. And probably misled about the silliest, most insignificant things to boot.
That said, don't get too big fer yur britches, TFL. Please don't aim to be the next MotorTrend or R & T. They are THE pivot in the current US auto market circle jerk.

I wouldn’t recommend the V8, there’s been many issues with it. First a recall and then they lost a law suit, my mother owned a 550i and 750i with the v8 turbo motor and BMW bought both of them back from her.
AntoineMJames that was 2 generations ago with their N63 motor. Not the S63 found in X5Ms or current V8s.
You are a liar
Never, ever, keep a BMW past the warranty period. Long-term reliability is very poor and repair costs are astronomical. Until the warranty runs out, have a blast.
Mike K or any German pos for that matter
I put 197k miles on my 2004, put 134k miles on my 2010, then bought a crappy Explorer Sport with multiple issues, and traded it on for a X5M, now 6k miles and flawless.
