If the driver's seating position is more "generous" (larger seats) I'll go with the X model with those bigger seats regardless of which vehicle it is. Also, I'm quite jealous of the legality you are afforded on the autobahn. Very jealous!

I really enjoy these comparison reviews. Always top notch. Thank you!
Excellent comparison - Really needed. Nobody is doing such comparisons between cars from different segments.
Please do a similar 3 series vs 5 series comparison as well!! Highly interested to know if the sophistication of the 5 wins vs the agility of the 3 - kind of a similar situation in the X3 vs X5 dilemma :)
thanks so much! :)
I own a X3 30i 2020 and I rented a X5 30d 2020 for a week
so both Gxx pre LCI I think
X3 is the clear winner to me:
- more agile
- faster (the X5 above 200kmh is a pain…)
- easier to sit in, you climb onto the X5, you sit in the X3, seat is exactly at the height of my bottom
- rear seats: there are the same width !!! I measured it in case I wanted to set 3 child seats (i have 2 kids), Basically the second row external is further from the door in the X5.
- Trunk: the X5 is a pain, I hated this tail gate. Thomas is 1m86, I am only 1m80, couldn’t reach the front end of the trunk. And guess where things end up after driving/breaking … :D
for a family, X5 brings zero benefit
for a large/tall driver, yeah, driver will be more comfy in the X5
How does the road noise compare?
@@irfaanbaksh5159 X5 will be quieter at high speed, but at 130kmh, i don’t think you will notice
I was searching for comparison of these two models and found your video, what a gem! Never seen anyone who made such a good scientific comparison video. I'm totally satisfied and will be at a dealership with some knowledge 😃
thanks!! Glad we could help. Feel free to share and subscribe :-)
This is super helpful and informative, thanks for posting!
Genuinely great video looking at the true differences and similarities between these units. You were not just a talking BMW brochure which many reviewers seem to be
Highly appreciated!! Please recommend us 😎
Another great video. Great comparison and super useful to compare different models within the same brand!
I've watched this channel for a long time, hugely underrated: consistently delivers quality content
highly appreciated! Please recommend our channel :-)
Great reviews! I like watching your videos, they are very thorough and informative . Thanks for the effort Thomas.
Cheers Colin!
In my 55 years driving history, I have owned an X5 3.0d auto for the last 20 years, and just passed 150k miles. Despite it's outdated 5 speed GM gearbox, it's been my most enjoyable and rewarding motoring experience, even compared with a 1972 Lotus in my younger days. The X5's blend of comfort, practicality and performance is second to none, and I'm just hoping the wife will let me buy a replacement very shortly before I'm too old, 'cause frankly no other SUV cuts the mustard like a 3l X5.
Hey I concur to that - especially the facelift version with stage1 modding, that diesel is like a rocket tank. Never had so much fun with any other car... except e39 3.0D with the same configuration :D One major drawback though is that those cars rust sooner than their running capacity wears off (if properly maintained). Those doors accumulate water and eventually you have to either replace or bore a hole in them and repaint, which translated to extra care and effort. Other than that e53 & e39 in carbon black look visually stunning even today.
Very gracefully cars.
The new X3 is 2 inches longer than your old X5 so you may want to buy next X3 for the same driving experience. New X5 is a lot bigger than your X5...
@@benjamintran6539 thanks!
Forget getting your wife’s approval for anything. Hope you did it
Update: I took notice of all your comments & advice, thanks. A new X3 40i is expected at month end, having realised the growth in size over the past 20 yrs, and wife is happy too!
Love your comment, "Listen & Repeat"..that took me back to my high school German classes when my instructor also said "listen and repeat"..."hören und wiederholen Sie". I really appreciate this X3 & X5 comparison. Particularly interesting was your conclusion that rear seat passenger space between the two is nearly identical. Both are "possibilities" to replace our aging Volvo V60 Cross Country. I also viewed your x5 45e review...and to me, if ONLY a x3 plug in hybrid was available here in the U.S....that might be the perfect fit for us as here in the Midwest US, it's a bit too soon for a full EV due to minimal available charging infrastructure. Thank you Thomas.
🙌😎
your reviews are always very good Thomas. Keep up the good work. we'll done.
thanks so much, keep recommending! :-)
Excellent comparisons.
Lots of my questions answered
👍👍👍
First thing I did after this video is subscribed, fantastic comparison! love it!
Welcome !!
Thank you Thomas. This is the comparative video I have been waiting for years. I will get both if I have the money. If not, I will get the X5 because it is the all round winner.
Awesome comparison as always, would also like to see a Subaru outback vs Subaru Forester comparison review if possible.
Wonderful review Thomas! I am waiting for the X1 driving lounge and your review of the gen5 plug in drivetrain! Keep the good work!
thanks !! Of course we ll keep you updated!
Love the manual buttons. I thought for sure there would be more leg room in the back with the X5. Interesting.
Appreciate that you give measurements in both systems! Much better for most Americans. Great review!
Cheers Bill !
Agreed. To us in the US it makes the video so much more meaningful.
What a way to start a review. "Does size really matter" really had me laughing😂
Great review as always Thomas and I'd personally take the X5 but with the M sport package🔥
Great comparison. Good job lad!
Thanks 🙏
Wow!!! Great video!! So thorough!! Greatly appreciated !!!
Thanks 🙏 please recommend our channel 🤟
Great video. Exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you so much! Please recommend our channel 🙏
I have owned many BMW models starting with a BMW 1600, which made me a BMW man for ever, after 3 x 5 series’s tourer’s & 2 x 3 series sot tops i now have a x3 M sport suv 🙀just great plenty big enough for golf clubs & a wonderful drive thanks for your comparison really enjoyed it, i made the right choice there is a smile on my face when ever i drive 😀
Both are great, but buyer's choices depend on their needs
Excellent comparison review
I had this doubts in 2019. My heart was telling me X5 but my head the X3. You’ve put things perfectly, as usual, Thomas.
The X5 is a bit more sophisticated, mostly on certain details like softer leather, better seats or certain optional extras. But for a daily use the X3 has better driving since feels more lighter, is easier to park and the price difference didn’t seem justifiably to me.
That said, I hope someday I can afford to move up towards the next X5 gen.
thanks for the feedback !
Always well done my friend. I traded my X30i for a 5series. This makes me miss my old X3.
cheers!
Bravo, Thomas! 👏🏼
Hm, I sense some italiano in your genes. That explains your hand gestures 🤌🏼👋🏼
Excellent review! Thank you.
👌😎
Excellent comparison video. Very informative
thanks! Feel free to share!
Amazing review as always Thomas! I have a 2021 X5 and love it, it’s my second one in a row. A quick note, the X5 does have seat releases in the cargo area, they were right by your hand next to the X logo on the side of the cargo area ;-) no need to reach forward to lower the back seats.
The same for The X3 :-)
Beautiful cars Thomas: good head-room, stunning instruments and comfortable seats - and plenty of room.
Great review Thomas. I have been watching your channel for a couple of years now and have been waiting for this comparison. I owned a 2018 X5 M50d, great car, lots of power but nightmare to park in many places due to the size. When I changed this year I looked at a new X5 but as the newer model was even longer and wider I opted for the X3 30d MSport instead. The X3 is not much smaller inside the car, there is more than enough power, the tech is great and I feel it drives more like a car than the X5 so I can be more aggressive around the corners than I was with the X5. Parking and narrow country roads are way better with the X3 as well. After 3 months I am very happy with the X3 and don’t miss the X5 at all.
Thanks, I needed to read this. My wife has just been told she can have an X5 company vehicle and she is not confident at parking. I will advise her to opt for the X3.
Have had two X1's, Mark 1 & 2. Waiting to order e-X1 in UK ,now we have 18 400 w panels on roof and 11 kv of batteries in garage!
Great video! Please compare a base x3 with a b48 engine to the one you reviewed here, with the b58.
great review as always👍
🙏🙏
great video. no doubt the X3 is higher performance but the X5 feels a class above. More substantial and luxurious
Very good and informative review. Your English is impeccable as well.
Highly appreciated! Please recommend us! 😎
Comfort seats and air suspension would be the key arguments for me!
Outstanding comparison!
Thanks 🙏 please recommend 😎
Great comparison. 👏🏼👏🏼
👍👍👍
I have an X5 and having that tailgate is a gamechanger for me. I owned an X3 and wasn't happy with it because it's smaller and no tailgate.
Very good Video on the X5 vs X3
Very useful comparison! 👌
thanks! please share!
I just got my BMW3 2023. Never had a luxury car and it rides like a dream. So comfortable too. I just love it.
Question. Premium gas recommended. I read so many conflicting comments of which gas to use. Recommended vs required????
My first bmw was the bmw x5 but I love the bmw x3 2008🥰❤️
Lauf kultur! Great comparison review as always Thomas. Can't wait to hear and see your thoughts on the 2023 X7 LCI too. Be curious to know if the boosted i6 B58 (375 hp) is sufficient for this larger SUV, as well as your impressions of the new, detuned S68 in the M60i. Perhaps another "is bigger always better" comparison of X5 to X7?
And Yes - I did catch your premiere video on the new X7. I can't wait to see further driving impressions
Thanks! Yes, X7 LCI driving coming up early next week/end of this week :)
Thank you for nice review as always I just own X3 and have to say the car good on highway long distance drive but in the city it's nightmare turn radius really wide you have to go over it to clear it and the gearbox is jerky real bad when pass tight s-curve corner also slow laggy compare to 7g-tronic+ from mercedes much more fun to drive in my country no choice for v6 I have to stuck with 2.0 diesel feel like small engine (overwork ) in a big car. Recommend v6 I think more suit the chassis.
Hi I want to say such a great video! Also as an owner of gps timing gear and a 2021 BMW X5 45e gotta say you should actually test these number on 0to60. I have repeatedly pulled 4.9 seconds to 60 and sometimes 4.789. I also know car and driver and motor trend also got the same 4.7 seconds. I totally agree with you about the smaller feeling of the x3 , just drove one for loaner recently exactly same vehicle, yes the fast one as a loaner! Great video, I love both vehicles but the x5 gives me so much in the crushing and doesn’t feel much less sporty from the x3. Plus I have the plug-in and I get to drive electric most of the week and drive fun on weekends.
thanks for tuning in !
Best journalist and comparing from while, soft,smooth and smart! Also as an Albanian I think that god created germans to make this world better 👍
I like the front face of the G01 X3. Understated and the kidneys aren't obnoxiously large. But, given the fact that I needed space for my family, I ended up with the X5 (although E70 40d. The width does definitely count in the X5's favour, but it makes it an absolute pain to park in tight multi storey car parks.
I would be so interested to find out how would you compare x3 with the Macan.
Great video
Best cameraman and mc review
thanks so much !
great overview! X3 for me
Very good comparison.
Cheers 🙏
Thomas I would like you to do a review on the xbus camper van from Crown motors when you can
Love my x3 m40i but definitely wish it had more x5 features available such a pity it doesn’t
What do you think of the new one without manual buttons and traditional shifter
You should do a comparison review like this between the new Audi A8 and the new S class.
Great review! You really feel the difference getting out of the X5 and getting into the X3. The X5 cabin feels much bigger. I had the X5 40e without rear wheel steer and my current X5 45e with rear wheel steer. I would recommend that option. All though it is pricy, the difference in agility and manouvering round in the parkin lot is like two worlds. But then I would say that the 45e is a huge step up in every way over the 40e. Huge difference.
Do you mean x5 is much more agile and better at manoeuvering or vice versa?
@@ruslannovikov5734 No. Just refering to the size. I have not driven the X3
@@palgjermstad9857 overall, do you find the steering of x5 satisfying? How does it compare to most sedans?
BMW has so many additional options available, I'd love to see a video with your thoughts on which one would you choose ;)
It is a good comparison. I prefer X3, more agile and sporty.
Even better would be: X3M or X5 40i, similar price. I take X3M any day.
I thank you for measuring the cargo space. Measurements let me know what might fit. Where the cubic liter/ feet manufactures use tell me nothing.
Comfort levels so much such higher in X5 why can’t we get massage seats in X3 ? Thomas as always awesome review thanks
took delivery of our X3 20d LCI few months ago, absoutely love it.
enjoy!
Thomas’s reviews - I would say - are a little bit more better than other reviews. Actually, for sure they are a lot better 👍
Thanks 🙏 please share 😎
Your reviews are very thorough, Thomas. Nicely done and nice legs! ;) I like the X3 because I don't need such a large SUV; however, struggling as to whether to wait for the new 2025 version in 2 years. iDrive 7 or iDrive8? I like the extra physical climate buttons and shifter of the iDrive 7 system but then again, I don't want to buy something that may already be obsolete.
Thanks for following!
our bmw x3 got the manual seat adjustments. i taught electric adjustment seats were standard on the facelift. also they didnt put the harman kardon on our car
IMO X3 is better… a lot cheaper and more fun to drive
I go for x3 no different just little bit size
To me since E70, X5 has lost it's road status, back then it was clear, it's X5 driving, now, its hard to tell difference between x5 and x3.
I have a 2022 X3 M40d and 2021 X1 2.0i X-Drive and have owned 3.0d M-Sport X5’s in the past.
I agree with others that the X5 has a wider, more comfortable and sophisticated cabin and with air suspension a better ride.
The X3 in comparison is a far more sportier SUV, with a cabin to match, more so with the optional ‘M’ seats which are an extra cost option in the U.K. but are extremely comfortable and worth that extra cost IMO.
Practicality between both models is hardly noticeable, with both accommodating 5 adults comfortably.
For me it came down to price. The X3 does everything the X5 does but the X5 is a more cosseting and comfortable environment and cabin to be in, is that comfort worthy of the premium cost over a X3?……you decide.
I know , BMW should make a crew cab, extended cab or single versions, 4x2 or 4x4 pick up trucks with a hood scoop option, lifted with high ground clear stock , and a short 6' box or long box 8' truck bed. Then offer a V6 straight six turbo charged all the way to a large V8 or V8 turbo diesel dually!!! Ohh with descent fender flares and all terrain tires. With classic modern BMW front end design. Maybe even a dually diesel version for heavy towing. With all the bells, whistles, and lights!
I bought 2022 x3 xdrive msport 3.0, gas mileage was very important, and have had my m240i convertible, the power wasn't a big factor in my choice, only one disappointment, no adaptive cruise control for the price
Great review as usual.
If comparison between X3M40i verse X5M60i what would you think is the more fun drivers car then. At a guess.
Cheers!
Maybe for those who haul a trailer with a lot of weight a Double dually crew cab V10 twin turbo diesel with all wheel drive or V8 turbo,10'-12' long box truck bed , goose neck and standard trailer tow hitches and all the bells, whistles, and lights!!!😁 I know it would be called the BMW series x 10 HDT(heavy duty truck) maybe and the lighter trucks the series x 8-9 LT (light tuck). Of coarse with a tilt forward front end like the Peterbilt semi trucks for easier accessibility for maintenance with locking hood release latches!
Considering X5, F15 3.0D. Are there items recommended for replacement above 100k miles or 160k km?
Yes, it matters
Both great
I would like you to show how easy these cars are to park and easy they are to drive in a tight multi storey car park. I don't know if the multi storey car parks in Germany have tight ramps like in the UK?
When is new x1 press day/test drive? :)
Arent the tailights switched permantently?
BMW X3 vs BMW X5 - both are good vehicles ... Depends on per$onal preference & $$$$' $ ... Good comparison ... Slainte' ! Cheers !
cheers!
Owning X3 seems the more practical choice here😊. Great comparo!
👍👍👍
On the rear seat comparison, please compare shoulder width. This tells us if 3 passengers will have room
How does it feel with GV70?
If you’d buy it today, would you go with a X3 M40i or M40d? Thanks ❤
I like them both but I prefer the X5’s looks and profile. I can’t fit comfortably in the M40i and it’s too small inside but quality on both is first rate. I need the extra room on cargo area and I have dogs. But the ‘23 X5 doesn’t have that amazing B85 w/hybrid power. Why not? The M40i’s engine makes it feel like a sports car. Good comparison. 👍
👌
Hmmm...here in the U.S, the x5 45e DOES have the B58 engine albeit a bit detuned from the "regular" B58 in the gasoline versions.
Impressive review .
Do you have X4 review too on your Channel please . Thanks
Thanks 🙏
Yes of course just TH-cam search autogefuehl bmw x4
@@autogefuehl Thanks
I used to be a Mercades fan but the X5 is best SUV and one the most beautiful car on the market
5:35 ... like P DIDDY said "it´s all about the benjamins" in this case, the meme is "it´s all about the buttons" ;)
X3 for me thanks 😊
do U have one mit: e-klasse vs bmw 5, t-models ? danke
What year model are these
BMW have mastered the art of making cars not look and feel big or small. My X3 seemed big until someone pointed how a Subaru was bigger. My X5 seemed small until I had an X4 for a few years.
I have enjoyed my 2020 M40i so far. Good power and okay handling, it’s my first and last suv, I have driven 3/4 series coups for the prior 20 years. Just had too much fun in those cars.
@@mattg1094 Its just different. It has loads of power and handles pretty well. But I had way more fun in the cars. I have not gotten used to the size, and the height.
27:59 so what's the best 6-cylinder for economy?
X-3 looks better in appearance. For the price, the X-3 is a better buy! The $10,000 difference made my mind up on purchasing the X-3 plus better MPG and I haven't regretted it! The X-3 2022 model is redesigned and different from the earlier X-3 so no comparison there.
My 4th BMW will again be an X3 Sport. I moved from my beloved X3 to the X5 to drive grandchildren around (yes, laugh aloud, 78 year are old German grandma here), but soon missed the agility and simple “Fahrvergnügen“ with my boring X5. Now I’m returning to the 2023 X3 (currently on the ocean). I’m very excited. BTW, to those denigrating BMW reliability, I say baloney. Maintained my BMW’s well and never, ever had a problem over the many years (since 2006). Used to drive VW before that, no comparison. I can’t think of driving any other make (spoken as a born Münchener Kindl and somewhat prejudiced).
Interesting 😎 enjoy m8
