Not just the X5M, the M50i with Adaptive M suspension is almost as insane with the handling and delivers properly on power go with that. Going down the line to the 50i and 40i it starts to lose the feel as the power output does not match up with the tight handling anymore.
A lot of people who don’t have BMW car don’t appreciate how good they are, I have an M4 Comp and have drove top Mercedes and Audi’s which are great cars but not got the fun factor if you want to call it that. Great vid mate !
In my opinion one of the biggest sleepers on the road, especially considering most people confuse it with the M50d 😂 the way this X5 M (and the previous generation) can handle turns is impressive for its size and makes it the perfect compromise for those of us that need the space, leg room, safety and high riding position of an SUV.
Have a previous gen x6m. Can confirm, that thing changes your perspective on what’s physically possible. People who say fast SUVs are useless because they are heavy etc have never driven something like this, or they would realise that you don’t lose a lot with them even on track. And on normal roads that loss of handling isn’t noticeable. You do notice the raised clearance driving daily though.
Brilliant mate, loved every second of that! I have a very old X5 myself, just can't bring myself to sell it. Would probably fall apart on track but I still love the old girl.
I swear, this is my favorite driving video ever. I get way more out of having a "normal guy's" reaction than a seasoned pro. That Porsche driver must have been TRIPPING.
Brilliant! I drive a X3M Competition, coming from a Porsche and know that it takes a while for your instincts to come to terms with something that big and heavy cornering and braking like that. Best video yet.
I bet you hardly know anything about car just because it sounds good you my swap it... SUV is a car for familys and the m8 competition is the fastest most powerful out of all BMW @Stephen Lane
There’s nothing anyone can tell me that can say Bmw isn’t the best German car that there is. Winning all drag races/rolling races and now keeping up with quarter of a million pound super cars on a track in a big SUV!
Brilliant video Archie, can concur these are beautiful machines and as the owner of the first version X5M e70 model it’s a beast and once you master the cars immense cornering ability the handling defies reality...👍👍👍
I sold my Porsche when the kids got too big and was told by the wife we needed a family car - so I bought one of these, heated, massage seats and this kind of track day capability…perfection 👌🏻
HILARIOUS lol He’s ripping that X5 M and you’re in the passenger seat with your hands clasped together😂😂 Mad props to your boy haha I’m sure some people got salty, that session
Phenomenal machine. One question; that X5M Competition seems to be lowered, can you tell us if it was and what lowering kit was installed. Looking to install on mine. Thank you and keep up the amazing videos 👍👍
How can three hundred people give a thumbs down on this, are they stupid or just deluded?? Class video Archie, would love to have seen the expressions on the faces of the drivers in super cars when you went past. Please do some more like this - awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻
Got me a X5 50i Msport love my V8 but that X5M comp OMG that is a beast of a SUV and that's gunna be my next X5 upgrade good driving also to the guy in the X5M
BMW M engineers did one hell of a job. Kudos
We make them here in my neck of the woods. Spartanburg, SC! Badass car
Well, correction, I forgot that this car was the competition model. Nevermind my post haha
i reckon his girl would be less scared than him
He is a girl 🤣
He’s acting for the camera
And what role does Gender in that role mate?
@@mystorymenzi7726 that was 6 months ago why u reading all the comments
Dude in that GT3 RS is pissed that the X5M is keeping up🤣💀🤣 Kudos to BMW M and the driver here.
The driver was amazing. Don’t think there are many that could get the most out of the suv like he did
Just needs to improve his skills. GT3RS would destroy it on the track with the comparable driver
@@markd7922 watch again!!!!!! The gt3 driver is one of the beter drivers.
@@pasma1983 yeah it shows.
@@markd7922 ur just butthurt, nothing else going on.
The X5M is madness🤯
Not just the X5M, the M50i with Adaptive M suspension is almost as insane with the handling and delivers properly on power go with that. Going down the line to the 50i and 40i it starts to lose the feel as the power output does not match up with the tight handling anymore.
Please put BmwX6 M on this track
beast
Sweaty balls
I agree but the x6m competition I would say is better in my opinion
Haha brilliant mate, Jonny can pedal literally anything really well 😂 You're a terrible passenger, need to get you in my car one day 👊
Ly joe
What happened to the m8 competition
By the way the m8 competition is the fastest out of all BMWs
It sounded like you were talking yourself into buying one .... why not ...much better than the Range Rover ...:)
I would love to see that :)
X5M, perfect all round high performance suv 🔥
A lot of people who don’t have BMW car don’t appreciate how good they are, I have an M4 Comp and have drove top Mercedes and Audi’s which are great cars but not got the fun factor if you want to call it that.
Great vid mate !
I never tried racing my X5. I've raced my 3 & 5 series. And won, but have not done that in years.
@@24k__J because you can’t drive?
Can agree with you. But i would say BMW maybe better at circuit but Amg are more fun i think
I have a 2010 335i with 38000 miles and nothing but issues
ABS module needs replacement
My parents have a GLC 63 S its way faster. they test drove this X5. also i drive a CLS 63 and its better and more reliable

Archie: “That’s probably the most fun I’ve had on a track day”
Tony *left the chat*
Fastest Archie has ever been round silverstone
LOL
Your best non gt4 video in a long time. It was hilarious to see you in disbelief at Jonny's driving. Brilliant driving from him!
How a racing driver becomes a screaming little girl.
@@24k__J but he is a racing driver so?
for views, you will do everything my friend :)
Racing driver, meaning Archie??????
Driving and being a passenger is so different
In my opinion one of the biggest sleepers on the road, especially considering most people confuse it with the M50d 😂 the way this X5 M (and the previous generation) can handle turns is impressive for its size and makes it the perfect compromise for those of us that need the space, leg room, safety and high riding position of an SUV.
I can tell, M50d is no joke either
Man that looks so much fun! The noise that thing makes. Who needs a GT3 RS when you have a suv! Such a cool video

Wow this is fun, the BMW X5 M holds up pretty well considering it is a big SUV 😁 Please make more videos like this Archie..
Yeah it's about 6,000 lb too it absolutely amazes me everyday I drive it.
i love these type of videos of good drivers on track. always my favorite
Freaking insane. BWM is a different beast.
What kinda car?
It’s BMW not BWM
Man, I'd want to hear the commentary in the Porsche GT3RS and see the glowing brakes on the M5!!
Great video! I was surprised how well the X5M kept pace on the track
Brilliant! I drive a X3M Competition, coming from a Porsche and know that it takes a while for your instincts to come to terms with something that big and heavy cornering and braking like that. Best video yet.
For a racing driver sitting next to another you're really a stressful passenger 😂😂😂😂youre killing me😂😂😂😂just enjoy the ride mate☝👍😂😂😂😂
They were on 2 wheels at one point😂he was legitimately scared for his life lol.
I'm now sold on one of these with a tune.
Great video👌, IVE TUNED MY BMW X6M to over 710BHP they are great👍👍
@10:53 I admire how positive you are Archie.
Epic video. I absolutely loved Archie’s reaction and expressions as the X5M did its stuff. What a vehicle.
We don't want to watch you screaming, we want to see damn track and the cars
Speak for yourself. His reaction is warranted and geniune. That thing defies logic.
That was hilarious. Best vid to date and you were not driving 😂👌
This is what we want to see Archie 👌 that BMW V8 sounds fantastic. maybe trade in your M8 for a X5M?
If I smack you, you will stop talking nonsense
@@moontuun usual idiotic dumb response on a public media platform, ever heard of refraining?
I bet you hardly know anything about car just because it sounds good you my swap it... SUV is a car for familys and the m8 competition is the fastest most powerful out of all BMW @Stephen Lane
It's fake noise unfortunately
@@moontuun and also the m8 sounds the same (if not better) because they have the same engine
There’s nothing anyone can tell me that can say Bmw isn’t the best German car that there is. Winning all drag races/rolling races and now keeping up with quarter of a million pound super cars on a track in a big SUV!
Brilliant video Archie, can concur these are beautiful machines and as the owner of the first version X5M e70 model it’s a beast and once you master the cars immense cornering ability the handling defies reality...👍👍👍
The Jeep Trackhawk may have good power like this does but the X5 M is still in a different class. Fast but still comfortable and sophisticated.
I sold my Porsche when the kids got too big and was told by the wife we needed a family car - so I bought one of these, heated, massage seats and this kind of track day capability…perfection 👌🏻
Wow that was amazing, so impressive and a thrill to watch.. what a super skilled driver Joynny is......
Probably one of the best BMW commercials ever. What a car!
THIS is what you call proper content Archie boy!
Best video you've done, I was scared sitting on my sofa
HILARIOUS lol He’s ripping that X5 M and you’re in the passenger seat with your hands clasped together😂😂 Mad props to your boy haha I’m sure some people got salty, that session
Phenomenal machine. One question; that X5M Competition seems to be lowered, can you tell us if it was and what lowering kit was installed. Looking to install on mine. Thank you and keep up the amazing videos 👍👍
Had to come back and watch this a second time, absolutely brilliant video
Epic video, amazing car, outstanding driving, could’ve watched a lot more of that 👍
I recently bought a 2016 X5M and I can tell you first hand how much fun they are! Great video!
Jonny is chaos and you are just hilarious to watch as a passenger Archie.... so want more of these.....
I hate passengers like this, they make it impossible to enjoy yourself.
That was impressive. I’m always scared as a passenger 😂
That driver in the X5M Comp is a serious professional!! He literally drove that thing to its limit!! 😳
Hi, nice educational video. Can you tell after how many minutes of active track driving the brake rotors started glowing? Thanks
Dear editor of the video, next time can you show us a complete footage of a turn instead of cutting off to the passenger's face. Thank you.
Hi Archie, you mentioned Tuning & Figures, do have any of those figures & a good tuner please
0:45, check your nose
coca?
Cola
We like these ones boy. Be nice to see you driving at some point
That engine sound is stunning. Love it😍
It is almost certainly the fake sound BMW pipes into the cabin. They call it Active Sound Design. You can disable it in a few different ways.
@@johnp999 you can turn it of!!
@@pasma1983 Isn't that what I said?
@@johnp999 yes, thats why i say again, you can turn it offfff. So ur reaction is not needed!
The sound in this video is not fake.
@@pasma1983 Your brain is tiny.
Brilliant vid, amazing driving, great car, very impressed with that bus, shocked
Dudes must've been 🤯 when they saw the X5M slingshot to the outside on em 💨
"I fink I need to frow up, mate"
-Archie Hamilton 😆
Please tell me that misspelling was intentional 😂
This is the only time Archie is funnier than Tony, as a passenger.
How can three hundred people give a thumbs down on this, are they stupid or just deluded??
Class video Archie, would love to have seen the expressions on the faces of the drivers in super cars when you went past.
Please do some more like this - awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻
Archie, that's a real race car driver sitting next to you there lad.
The moment Archie finally realized hes a girl
This one looks a little lower than stock - am I seeing that correctly? Any mods, even minor, on this one? Cheers!
Its coud be because its m competition. I can hardly process my dads m5 competition rear wheel gap
Most likely lowered, MSS are doing an X5M kit now. Even the Comps sit slightly high as standard so defo been modified.
Awesome video! Would've loved some more camera angles, but this was really cool.
Yes! Would definitely love a look at the speedometer.
Love mine had it from new .. one year .. fully understated but shocks other Road users 😀
I'm curious as to the traction settings for this with all that understeer, the old one wasn't like that at all
Well it was raining so you'll always have a little understeer in a 2+ ton car
Great car enhanced with the MSS Automotive Lowering Springs really pulled it all together
That was great fun to watch mate...well done, fantastic content ! 🤣👍
nice video bro. how is the X5M against the X3M competition? about the same performance or not really?
Archie you can CLEARLY SEE the Competition badge on the tailgate🤔. So it’s an X5 MCompetition. Not just an M👍🏻.
Title and description: X5M Competition
Great video. Awesome Car X5 M
Jonny !! Jonny !!
I Thought that was hilarious
Archie, I can’t stop watching this video. This is so fun. Ted
this video needs to get more recognition
Got me a X5 50i Msport love my V8 but that X5M comp OMG that is a beast of a SUV and that's gunna be my next X5 upgrade good driving also to the guy in the X5M
Was this car completely stock? No brake pad upgrade?
More track days in unconventional cars/suv's please......???!!!!
No wonder why it's a favourite at the police station and conversely with thieves too, go figure! Amazing driving skills.
Got one as my daily drive, great cars but terrible fuel consumption, I would love to know what it did on the track?
Ultimate driving machine, no doubt.
The guy on the passenger side!🤣😂Dude you should never get in the race car! Hope they had an ambulance on standby for you incase your heart stopped!😂🤣
My X3 M40d shocks many a fast car with its massive torque.
Great but this vid is about the X5M, let’s keep it there mate.
I normally hate to be on the passenger side but I totally enjoyed the ten min virtual drive :)
That was brilliant - makes me want to take my Mrs X3M Comp on track.
I wonder if the X3 M Comp would do a little better around the track with the less weight....?
The only people confused are the ones who don't know what an X5-M Competition can do.
This was hilarious 😂
have you lowered your x5m？ MSS suspensions？
we need a view outside the vehicle to see this beast in action!
What a driver and what a BEAST. Don't think I would have lasted in that drive. Lots of love for BMW.
Great dynamic with you a Jonny quality video with you two deffo would watch more of these types of vids you riding shotgun
Dope, it’s crazy what a professional driver can do in a SUV vs an amateur with a race car
Total Chaos. Loved it
That was so much fun!
That was epic!!!
Haha, one of your best vids, need more of this!!!
Damn boy you made my day pushing my adrenalin hahaha !
Aint no Trackhawk........
Which supercars did it destroy then (except the GT3RS that in the end eventually slowed down)?🥱
yeh they were playing with it really, the speed that 720 shot past and the gt3rs at one point, however very impressive that x5m.
0:46 seconds in he been snorting to boost he’s confidence 🤣
We should put mischa charoudin and archie riding shotgun at the nurburgring. Bet that would be hilarious.
Just picked mine up few days ago, I’ve had a m3 m4 m6 this is the most fun car I’ve ever had. Everytime I’m not in it, all I wanna do is drive it
Goes to show with the right driver, any car can be fast around a track. Him in the gt3rs must feel silly haha!
