When i watch car reviews, i always forward to skip something I don't want to watch. But I did not skip anything in this video. I am so relaxed to hear people talking about the true feel of this car.
I love the dynamic of the channel. Zach “don’t be like that Andrea” so funny she still speaks her mind. Very genuine for everyday viewing. Keep it up guys.
Thanks for this and keep watching!
Wow, thank you so much! :)
Love watching you guys with a great cup of coffee on a beautiful Saturday morning! Thanks for making me laugh, thanks for a great review!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. :)
Our pleasure!
Haha, that's funny. I do the same, wake up, make a coffee and watch the Saturday video. I'm currently looking for a vehicle so maybe they'll do one that I'll like one day lol
@Hugh MacIsaac Always politely :)
It's a pleasure to listen to both of you. Love your reviews and the way you designed the delivery of your opinions and I just can't ask for anything better! You keep it believably true and simple and shows that you aren't hesitant to say it either it goes in favor or against the vehicle in review. Keep up the great work. A fan from your southern neighbor.
Wow, thanks and come on back!
i love the review! u guys forgot to mention it also has voice control! i own one and currently i’m so in love with it!
New subbie here. I love the couple reviews; very different than other car review channels. Good job, guys!
Wonderful, welcome! So happy you loved our review. Many more to come....
Andrea's outfit matches this X5 so well!
Really love the chemistry from u guys and the thorough review, awesome!!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Thank you very much! We are so glad you enjoyed it. :)
Saturday Morning, my absolute favourite TH-cam team Funny, knowledgeable and so easy to watch. Hi Andrea, loved all your pictures and info on Instagram this week and I must add looking absolutely gorgeous. Wow! You are simply the best.
Wow, thank you so much! :) I really appreciate the support.
I've had my 2019 X5 for the past year and a half. It's been fantastic!
Wonderful, thanks for sharing!
maintenance cost bro
@@hirajsinh7963 Free maintenance for the life of the lease bro
@@hirajsinh7963
He bro you thinking of buying brah?
@@samsharma9207 maintenance is built into the lease bruh
I really like the format of your reviews.
Excellent, thank you!
Zack: Inline-6. Buttons in the cockpit. 👍🏻👍🏻💪🏻
I LOVE my 2021 BMW X5 M-Sport. Sweeeet straight 6 turbo power!
You guys are great! Loved this review!
Great review as always. I think this is the first review I have seen that you mentioned you have kids. And I've been watching you for a few years. I have 4 kids so when you review cars (especially SUVs), it can certainly add a good perspective. Thanks!
I think we've mentioned them before, probably complaining about something they did....wink...wink... It absolutely adds a great perspective, a lot of families are looking for utility vehicles. Thanks for watching, glad you enjoyed it.
@@andreaspencer9813 Always enjoy your videos! Thanks.
I appreciate that!
I watch all kinds of car videos and reviews mostly with my wife sitting around me on her iPad with no interest at all. Watching you guys together with the same and different takes on cars , I can now say my wife enjoy watching your videos together. Now she’s open to the idea of any X5 because of you guys. I’ve been telling her we should get one for a long time. Anyways keep up the good work and looking forward to more videos.
Wow, that's so great, thank you for sharing. I am really happy to hear this. :)
That is awesome!
Another great video! Nicely done guys. To think that my jeans would stain the white leather would drive me insane... black interior for me!
Thanks for watching!
My best car of all time was 1998 Civic Hatchback (third car to purchase brand-new, previous were 87 Nova and 90 Corsica). Civic DX had no AC, wind-up windows and some premium suspension and sound-system upgrades. I put 300,000km and ended up trading with both original front and rear bumpers (no accident cause its handling ability was insane). Those memories are precious and far more valuable then the premium vehicles that I now drive. The real value is in the actual driving experience, not in the monthly lease payment.
This engine is a masterpiece and a version of this engine can be found in the base Z4 and in the higher end Z4 and new Toyota Supra. A few years back when BMW and Toyota decided to collaborate on the Supra, BMW sent the engine to Toyota and then engineers at Toyota took it apart and then sent a huge list of things that needed to be changed on the engine before Toyota would allow it to be used in their new Supra. That's why this and the B46/B48 engine is also one of best engines out there right now. These two engines are used in a wide variety of BMW vehicles from the Z4 to all the sedans and SUVs of BMW at the moment and they're amazing. You can identify the use of parametric engineering design on the new X1, X3 and X5 as they look so much alike that you might do a double take when you see one go by especially the newer X3 and X5 to see what actually went by. Some say that the new 2021 X1 is one of the nicest SUV designs on the market today...up there with the Mazda CX-5 with the advantage going to the BMW because of the interior. Great review guys...I love watching them so please keep them coming! My preference though is the New X3 M4.0 and for the a singe person or young couple, like yourselves (albeit empty nesters) is the X1.
The one review you did with Brian Chow was the best review of X5. I don’t know why you guys stopped doing the reviews together or don’t get along anymore? Not criticizing the above review but what I really liked in that review was that you guys don’t have to agree with each other on everything. There were stuff which you didn’t like and he liked and vice-versa. It gives a broader perspective and diverse opinion of the car.
On contrary, this review appears more like a family review than a car review where you guys agree with each other (or HAVE to agree with each other). Still, well done review. 👍
This is a fun channel 👍 I am glad I found it . I remember Zack from global on Sunday mornings.
In the market for a new x5 that is why I was searching
Come on back fro more videos we do a bunch each week.
Love X5s had 2008 just loved it loved how navigation would create detours during accidents. 2021 is perfection, love the tech and ambient lighting. Yes maintenance somewhat high but just get extended warranty and if you want get CNA warranty from dealer to provide coverage after dealer warranty expires. For those with business like me you can write off full amount of large luxury vehicle. Wish adaptive lights came standard like Lexus. Nice video 👍
Another great review,,,,,,, each one gives a very good point,,,, u perfectly match ✌🏻✌🏻
Thank you very much! Glad you feel this way. :)
You two are a great team and I absolutely enjoy each segment of your reviews. It's very fresh. I've never truly given the X5 serious consideration, but I may have to put it in my sights and give it a fair chance. I would LOVE to see a review on the X5 xdrive45e. The hybrid looks like it may give compelling reasons for me to move in that direction. Their advertised range on battery alone has me paying attention. Cheers!
We will try to get one...
one of their better videos, they seem more like a real couple lol
Great in-depth review of the X5!
Thanks for watching! :)
Glad you liked it!
Great info and making me change my opinion about Bavarian Motor Works. Andrea is always so cheerful and has a permanent smile on her face. You guys are a great team.
One of my favorite SUV's, great driving experience however expensive packages and final price. Agree with your comments on leasing vs purchasing, the last time I did the calculation the cost difference of purchasing vs leasing/ purchasing was not significant and having the option of returning the vehicle if it is a lemon or if your needs or wants have changed is definitely a benefit. Great review, I have followed Zack for a while, Andrea is a great addition, love they way you guys interact!
Thanks for sharing!
Another great review. I could watch you two even if you were reviewing bicycles. Good job.
Awesome, thank you! :)
Wow, thanks!
Thank you, thank you, thank you; another great review 🥳🎉, great car
Thank you so much for watching, really glad you enjoyed it. :)
Glad you enjoyed it
Great review you two! The BMW X5 is still an amazing choice among the premium mid-sized SUVs. I agree with Zack that a BMW Inline-Six is one of the best engines available on the market. I also really like the sound it makes too. Keep up the great work 💪
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed the review. Yes, the X5 is an amazing choice with a superb engine.
Well said!
@@andreaspencer9813 I have a 2005 E46 330i, and that Inline-Six is silky smooth and it has a nice induction sound, and has been reliable minus some plastic parts that get hard and brittle and need replacing. Other then that, it's been a gem. 💎
@@ryanclark9415 That's awesome!
In Europe the X5 is not considered mid size lol but you live in the US
I love you, I love your reports, I love BMW, i love the X5. Amitiés from rainy Paris.
Thank you very much, so glad you enjoyed it. :)
Thanks for watching!
thanks for ur work, always feedings us with canada news.
Thanks for watching!
So nice of you
I just simply LOVE both of you people -You are the coolest coolest pair doing car review on planet earth - I am getting my X5 so very soon :)
Wow, thanks!
Great review and they threw in a little 'domestic' over the interior colours, just like any other couple. Thanks for being real and entertaining!!
Great review,great couple 🤘🏻😃
Thanks so much!
BMW straight six is the best engine in the world. Period
I figure my next car will be my last gas version, so want the best. I think this engine is it!
I drive a N55 and I think bmw's best engine is not even a straight six, it has to be the S65. The world's best engine? Ferrari v12.
My 2007 N54 runs like its brand new. Still so incredibly smooth, powerful and responsive. I love it. bought the car for the engine.
yeah， the only problem is oil leak.
The Germans have certainly mastered the ' plastic ' engine.
Love your videos
We just purchased a well equipped 2021 X3 for our first BMW. I’m more than impressed. Our other car is a Cadillac XT5 and my wife drives the BMW. We’ve had many SUV’s and can see us always with a BMW in the garage. Our X3 is a lease
Thanks for sharing!
I love this couple!
Great review. Every single thing is perfect about this SUV.
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed the review.
@@andreaspencer9813 just a small correction, BMW offers 4 years/80K of free maintenance, not 3 years.
@@halderavik yes, you are right, I didn't catch Zack say 3 years. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! 👍
@@halderavik Bmw does not offer 80K of free maintenance
Great review. I had a 2011 X5 It had a great ride yet still remarkable handling. I now have a 2020 X3M wanting the performance of it. FYI, I had a 5 series with mocha interior and navy blue exterior, a great looking car.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review. Wow, what a gorgeous colour combo, love it!
Hey did you consider a x3m40i? Or newer x5? Did you find the interior space good in the x3 coming from an x5 and 5 series? I have my one year old baby in my e92 335i right now and need to buy a suv. Will the x3 be enough space for me? My wife and I both have coupes. I want a x3 but my father in law says get x5. I prefer a drivers car as you can tell. Live in a small city so major driving is highway miles hauling baby stuff…. Zack please help
@@PHFilms3 X3 is more room than 335i/M340i, plenty for car seats, kids, small adults. Not quite as big as 5 series but close. X5 is wider if needing 3 in back. X5 drives like a bigger vehicle. X3 easy entry/exit, X5 step up a bit. X5 is more luxurious, more features but X3 is plenty nice for most.
my favorite SUV!
Great review guys. golden age of BMW sport is done I think. As a person who always preferred BMW for its competitive edge have to agree with Andrea for loving Porsche. Because competitive edge is a human drive and Porsche still holding commanding edge over the BMW sense they become number one And become the driver of competitive edge
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it. I just have a special place in my heart for Porsche. :)
@@andreaspencer9813 , I’m not surprised . BMW never bodered to develop a new engine . Can’t wait for you 2 to drive the new Porsche estate electric car .
Andrea is getting better and better, the timing is perfect now!
She's the best! I watch every review she is in 💯
Thank you very much! :)
Terrific, thank you.
awesome review but I'm obviously going for the rsq3 also love Andrea's sense of fashion.. stunning!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We actually don't have the RSQ3 in Canada, so unfortunately, we can get that one to review.
Just picked one up. Agree on all accounts. Engine is highly underrated power wise. One thing - the 48v mild hybrid adds quite a bit to the power delivery and is a great tech feature that needs more focus I think
& by now 2 years later it's probably sitting in the junkyard waiting to be crushed. 😂 bmws are trash 🗑
You guys are just Terrific!!!
Good stuff, as a first time SUV owner, I call it the BMX. Bought my wife the 2012 BMX with most of the same highlights and less the highly recommended rear air suspension as we live far North. Love my BMX but don’t know if air bag suspension is standard now, thanks from up North
We own 2 - X3s and love the drive of BMWs. X5 seems too bulky for driving in the city. Love the review and both of you providing different views.
Thanks for sharing!
you guys so lovely 😍 "who washes it?" lol Andrea nods... your reviews are professional and informative...most of all positive chemistry bring about. Thx for reviews. One thing i would like to mention is BMW offers 4yr/80k free maintenance
Thank you so much!!
Very well done. Perfect team.
Thank you very much!
Inherited my dad's '92 Buick Le Sabre w-3.1 litre/V6 and what an engine!. Purchased a brand new 2.7 litre/V-flat 6 Porsche Cayman in 2006 and it to has an awesome engine. Until we eventually move off of fossil fuel engines, think the "6 Cylinder", is the best thing since sliced bread, as far as finding the sweet spot. Looking for a new vehicle right now and will check out the X5. Nice review guys.
Great, thank you for watching. Good luck with your purchase.
You two are hilarious as you debate interiors. 😂
I would pick the BMW because of the balance in the use of materials in the dashboard - the right amount of wood, metal, and leather. This is something that Audi used to be really good at. The dashboard of the BMW looks modern and timeless. I understand that, for whatever reason, manufacturers are now using digital gauge clusters. So, I wish BMW offered its traditional circular tach and speedo arrangement as one of the electronic configurations.
I have been waiting for this review hoping it would help me decide GLE or X5. I was almost 100% ready to order GLE now I am not sure anymore... as always, great comprehensive review! :)
It is a tough choice. The GLE is beautiful especially the interior, however, I definitely prefer this engine more.
Try them both, both are very good.
Just gorgeous SUV
Definitely prefer the new X5 over any other SUV 👌
love my 2019 X5 5.0. & I love the interior of the old Cayenne too, all the buttons was gorgeous. Too bad VW decided to say bye to the buttons.
You guys rock!! Awesome to see you guys talk the car tech.
What do you guys think about the reliability of X5?
Thank you, glad you liked it. I think it's okay, vehicles are becoming more dependable these days which is a great thing. Plus, what I love about BMW is that scheduled maintenance is free for 4 years.
My favourite midsize luxury SUV in the market. I've had every iteration of X5's in the past 21 years since the first ever X5 SAV came on the market in 1999.
Owned two in the last 3 years and stepped in every generation of the X5 (E53, E70, F15 & G05).
Great review. Hope you guys review the 45e. Seems to be getting great reviews.
Thanks for watching!
@@andreaspencer9813 Thanks Andrea. You’re doing a great job and have been a great addition to Zach’s already great stuff. Cheers from New Brunswick
@@trevormacdougall9385 I appreciate your kind words, thank you! Have a great weekend.
Love your review. Thinking of getting 2021 Bmw x5, x40i. I went to test drive and I did not see Air suspension adjustment button in center console. Also when I was changing drive from comfort to sport - in the menu - there was no adjustment. So I can not figure out of 2021 comes with air suspension as standard. Any comment is appreciated.
Yes! It's an awesome engine!
I have the 2017 with the earlier inline-6 that has 300hp and 300lb/ft. Switch to sport mode and it feels it has much more power. The sport gauges goes as far as 320hp.
I’ve really enjoyed your reviews. My wife is in the market. Currently has an aviator with the reserve 2 option. She wants to go back to a 2 row and wants a smooth comfortable ride. We test drove the base gle and the engine was sluggish and unresponsive. The glc amg43 was not a comfortable ride. So we have a long list of test drives. The Audi sq5 the BMW X3 and x5 the Porsche Macan and cayenne and the Lexus RX
Life is easier for me, I always go for the Bimmer.
What a lovely couple 🥰
Definitely like x5 over Porsche Cayenne in every aspect great review!
Another great review......I would think that folks would cross shop a BMW X5 with a Lincoln Aviator as well.....
Thank you glad you enjoyed it. Yes, sure the Lincoln Aviator is another good one in the competition category.
That would be cool!
Please test drive the new Armada! Great review btw!
Thanks for watching! If it arrives in the Press Fleet, we will definitely review it. :)
nice vehicle...love the banter...reminds me of us...and the get rid of this car line...where have I heard that before...hmmm..lol
I have a Black Range Rover Sport SDV8 HSE Dynamic 2017 Model. Purchased it new. Unfortunately LR no longer does the V8 Diesel so I guess I will hang on to it till a better option comes along. All Black interior as well.
Hi Zack & Andrea..... I am a bit confused in my decision whether to go for X% M sport or Base Cayenne. In India, th Cayenne is priced almost 35% more expensive than the X5 as its a built unit import. Confusion is because , I have to wait for 5 years to change my car as its my normal length of keeping the car because of the affordability reason. I already own 520D Luxury Line bought 5 years ago which is a gem of a car. Option, dispose off 520D and go for Cayenne, Or Buy X5 and keep my 520d as my second car. Any suggestions?
Thank you ❤
That ivory interior does look exquisite. Consider finding some matching, or even slightly different shade colored, thin cushions to protect them from jeans. Also for the car washing issue, Zack, get the car wrapped with protection film or ceramic coated and then use a foam gun method to wash it. It's so quick & actually satisfying (for me anyway). Problem solved people! Am I a marriage saver or what?!
Yep paint correction, ceramic coating both on the interior and exterior make maintenance washes and cleaning super easy. Worth the initial investment.
Hello. I really like your channel and all the funny reviews. Do y'all mind comparing the BMW X7 and the Lincoln Navigator? It's what we are closest to buying, but we want to see what y'all think of it. Thanks!
Thank you, glad you are enjoying the channel. Yes, we are working on getting a BMW X7, but I am not sure a Lincoln Navigator is available in the Press Fleet at this time. I will take a look. :)
@@andreaspencer9813 We went to a dealership. We found out that we like the X7 and the GLS the most. That would mean the world to us if you could do a comparison of those two
@@GladiatorLBS Okay, I will see what I can do. We did a review on the GLS, it's on the channel, we just have do to an X7 and then the comparison. They are both on our list of comparisons to do.
@@andreaspencer9813 Well I’m totally fine with anything, but I feel like it will be a better comparison and more people will find it helpful to compare the GLS and X7
I got the car with everything except the merino seats because i wanted durability since i am driving the car a lot so i got the Vernasca leather and i didn’t get the luxury seating package because a lot of people i know including dealers said it was a waste of money compared to other brand cars. Should have i gotten that options. I did get multi contour seats though.
Beautiful neighbourhood... oh and the car, it's ok.
You guys are awesome! So cabbage rolls are sarmale? 😉
Great video as always. Wondering if you guys have tested the hybrid version and what you think of it. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you very much, glad you enjoyed it. No, we haven't driven the hybrid version yet, but would like to.
Not yet!
which one would you prefer to have RX350 or X5?
For around 100k canadian should i buy this or a macan gts ?
Ah, UBC. Brings back good memories.
It's our favourite location to film!
Man money was rolling in good. That had mad thoughts on shutting my haters down 👉 like this 😲
The front grille looks like a pair of Saskatchewan Blueblockers !!!!!!
If you were choosing between a Volvo xc90 or this BMW X5 which one would you get? Thank you! I enjoy your videos.
I prefer the driving dynamics of the X5 along with the infotainment system. But, if you need the 3rd row, the Volvo is bigger, so I would get the XC90.
I love Porsches but the base Cayenne with most equipment people want, will be like $25k more!
True for all German brands.
I've had my X5 for 3 months and LOVE IT!! Replaced a 2018 RX350 which I really liked but the X5 is classes above!!!
No doubt this engine is brilliant but it's also pretty thirsty. What would you say on 40d vs 40i with the 40d having the same performance but much better fuel economy?
I like all the design but for me the steering wheel isn't match and look older.
How is rear visibility? I don’t like relying on a camera.
If Apple to Apple, x5 i40 is $15k cheaper than GLE 450, I would take X5 any day, even though I am a Merc guy for the last ten years (still drive one at the moment), I am just surprised that the difference is so massive, is that because this X5 is not fully optioned?
I had a 2019 X6... that thing dinged and beeped like you wouldn’t believe. Open the door, ding, start the car, ding, put in drive, ding... drove me nuts. Safety features that you can’t turn off. Never again. Nice review though folks.
It was so safe because you drove it the least amount possible ;)
@F.B.I. really? No more dinging? How about the safety nanny’s? Seatbelt chime? That would chime even if the car wasn’t moving. Absolutely terrible. Then mine had terrible transmission lag... jerky/clunky. I swapped out for a Jeep Grand Cherokee HEMI, couldn’t be happier. Smooth, fast, no chimes, disable seatbelt, normal gear selector, kill the nanny’s once and it remembers every time you start it. Heaven compared to my X6.
@F.B.I. I might test drive one... I’ll also be looking at Benz. I just can’t stand all the chimes and safety features.
Oh wow!
@@Motormouth... when you test drove this thing, did it chime at all? How were the shifts at low parking ramp speeds? My X6 was brutal!
I bought last car based on this channel’s recommendation.
Amazing!
like her clothing style....and his too. New X5 still sells good. We hardly have X3.
Prob going to surprise my wife with this in the next month. I'm on the fence...take her to the dealership and let her choose or buy it and place it in the garage.
I have a July 19 X5 which replaced the previous two I've had. Love the car but find it wallows in Comfort setting. In the UK, diesel is more popular...I use mine to tow a large caravan. The extras list is impressive but expensive in actuality. I spent about $88k on mine just months before lockdown!
Just don't ever get a x1. have one now and have so much problems, might consider getting a Honda. would love to get a x5 but restricted from my budget and scared of fixing it if something ever happens
@@jacobbio i grant you X5s aren't cheap to fix but overall they are so well built that they tend to be quite reliable in that regard. We previously bought 2 3-yr old ones and they were excellent. This time we bought new with the aim of outlasting the bloody ridiculous diesel ban. I confess I don't like the X1 styling - had one as a loan car. Also have a 530 Touring which are worth a look.
lovely couple!
Please do the X6!!
Where is the 48 volt battery located?
Doesn't this have the B58 Engine? Which is found on a few of the BMW vehicles, Including but not limited to the Supra? I think so, therefore it has more than the "Claimed" 335 HP.
Great video overall you guys!!!
Thanks for watching!
That is a newer engine, this is the one that came in the first year Supra. It has better low-end torque for an SUV.
@@Motormouth... Ahh Okay... Thanks for the clarification..
Someone in one of the X5 forums said these new X5 engines are being made in China now. Does anyone know if that is true?
