  • The original BMW X5 was a game changer - but is the latest fourth-generation model just as exceptional? It's got a plush interior, loads of tech and a great selection of engines, but it also has a lot of outstanding rivals up against it. Watch our in-depth video review to find out just how good it is.

    I took delivery of the new X3 G01 last year August. I love the car, and as I've been leasing BMWs since 2006, have got used to all the iDrive functions. Now, I can operate any of the functions without looking at or using the touch screen. Very intuitive and definately the best on the market at the moment. Love you r style of reporting 👍

    Correction to your statement regarding all wheel steering: at low speed makes the rear wheels turn in the OPPOSITE direction to the front wheels and at higher speeds, over 80km/h in the SAME direction as the front wheels

    BMW invented this category and now owns it again with the new G05 X5. I drove all the new luxury SUV’s, the X5 is more cutting edge tech with unbelievable opulence yet still drives like a BMW athlete. BMW upped their build quality so much over the last generation X5, you hardly can believe it’s the same vehicle.

      Yes and Audi’s are basically Volkswagens with a little more leather and slightly more tech but with a different badge. They both have the same engine and same parts only Audi listing their cars at around 60k. But, the x5 is completely made by bmw and does not share any parts or components with any car except the new 5 series (which is still a luxury car so Audi fanboys keep ur mouth shut 🤐) which is why the x5 drives a lot more sporty then the Audi and more smoother then the Audi and why the Audi is more practical only cause it’s a “people’s car”.

    Im afraid that anyone releasing a diesel in London right now has played themselves out of the market. There's too many disadvantages with all the new daily taxes against them that the only Cars worth buying now are Electric moving forward.
    Im keeping what ive got until the Audi E-Tron, Tesla Y and M-Byte are released this year before I make my mind up.
    Looking at anything else would be a waste of time in London.

      have you any thoughts on what you may wish to purchase in the future? I have a BMW 335D x drive on lease and I just love its style - a wolf in sheep's clothing that can do 0 -62mph in 4.9 seconds along with 37 mpg. But. As I grow older and crankier (60+ female with a love of speed, and blasting off lesser cars at traffic lights) I am looking to be a bit more sensible. Can electric, at this moment in time satisfy that need? That is, without looking like a Nissan Leaf nerd?

    why do I have to pay for Apple Car-play after just a year of using such an expensive vehicle. That's aside the fact Android Auto is not available (considering Android has more users than iOS). This is a nice SUV but some of the cost cuttings in the infotainment leaves a lot to be desired when cars from lower price groups already offer Apple car play and android auto as standard.
