- BMW is on a roll with new updates to their Sport Activity Vehicles, including the all-new 2019 BMW X5 xDrive50i M Sport with the $16,000 Premium Excellence Package. We go in-depth on our review of this new mid-size luxury SUV.
The G05 BMW X5 xDrive50i is the highest form of BMW's midsize luxury SUV sold in Canada for 2019. Our test model for Canada comes standard with M Sport and the Sport Steptronic Automatic 8-Speed transmission. This vehicle is finished in carbon black metallic paint with extended black merino leather from BMW Individual on the inside. The one option added to this $86,000 MSRP is the Premium Excellence Package which adds a suite of top-notch features to this vehicle.
Our full tour and review of the all new BMW X5 50i goes in-depth on what features are optioned on this vehicle, including full adaptive LED headlights, BMW Laser high beams, front and rear Park Distance Control with BMW Surround View and Parking Assistant, safety features like BMW Driving Assistant & Evasion Assist help to keep the vehicle safe on the road. Blind spot monitoring, lane keep assist, and forward collision are also included on this vehicle.
The rear dual lift-gate can be opened automatically from the key fob, swiping your foot under the lift gate area, from the interior, or even BMW's Connect iPhone app. A remote starter is also available for the first time on the X5 by pressing the key fob's lock button three times in a row. Additional features on the exterior of this X5 include the M Aerodynamics front end, shadowline exterior trim, large BMW M brakes, and 22" rims (20" rims shown for winter use).
Inside the G05 X5 we find BMW Individual leather trim, a leather wrapped dashboard and door cards, a 12.3" iDrive 7.0 screen featuring voice recognition, gesture controls, navigation, SiriusXM radio, wireless Apple CarPlay, Qi wireless charging, and quad-zone automatic climate control. The front comfort seats have heat, ventilation and massage features. Driver's heated steering wheel pairs well with the heated and ventilated front cup holders. Rear seats have heat and dual-zone climate, along with manual side window sun shades and soft-close doors.
BMW's digital gauge cluster allows for slight customization but mostly based on the driving profile selected. A colour HUD allows for extra information such as speed limit recognition and board computer alerts to be displayed for the driver. BMW's Ambient Air comes with the Premium Excellent Package, along with ambient lighting with 6 different colour options.
Our road test starts off with performance-oriented testing including a cold start with the 4.4L Twin-Turbo V8 producing 456 horsepower. We test the 0-100km (0-60 mph) time for this vehicle and talk about some of the characteristics that make the new X5 perform and handle a lot like the G11 BMW 7 Series. We also talk about the 2 Axle Air Suspension system and the BMW Parking Assistant which offers hands-free autonomous parking. We also test the semi-autonomous Driving Assistance feature which allows drivers more confidence when driving on the road with added steering and lane keep control.
We wrap up our full tour and review of the 2019 BMW X5 xDrive50i by talking about some of our fuel economy testing, along with what we liked and disliked about this $102,000 mid-size luxury SUV. A full rundown of the BMW Parking Assistant testing we did can be found here: • Real World BMW Parking...

Nile, I enjoyed this review! that X5 is IMPRESSIVE. I spent time working at a BMW dealership in Florida and I drove many of the last gen X5 from base to M, they felt quite ponderous compared to the one they replaced. I've driven the current M40i X3 and it was like a scalpel/rocket ship compared to the Sq5 I drove prior to it. BMW is on a roll lately with some of their designs and more importantly their dynamics. I seriously wish I had the coin to afford the X5 built the way i'd want it.. I'd have to settle for a lower trim 40i.. Wouldn't really be settling though! ps. Is this color the Carbon black? I look online at the configurator and cannot figure out what color i'd choose because they all look the same online! sweeeet color and sweet build spec on this X5. I'm very impressed. Thank you again for the time you put into this content! It's truly excellent.
Carbon black it is! Has that nice blue tint in the right light. I’d love to afford one like this too, absolutely phenomenal to drive. We had the X4 M40i back to back with this, so I got a taste of both in terms of comfort and performance. The X4 grew on me, but the tech on the X5 is a step ahead. This one was already quick, I can only imagine what the M50i and full-on X5 M would feel like.
Awsome video. Really enjoyed this one.
Thank you! We really enjoyed making it, tried some different filming techniques to give the episode a bit of a cinematic feel.
Love how this drives and commands the road. I usually stay in adaptive but go for sports plus on the highway. A gas guzzler for sure but one hell of a ride and more than worthy of being a daily driver. Great review!
I really loved driving this car, a lot more than I expected to be honest. Still makes me wonder if/what an X5 M50i would feel like considering how spectacular this already sounded and performed.
really nice truck.
I just wish BMW provided a model with a brighter cream interior or a brown leather interior for this review.
Their interior selection is really nice i just find that black interior is just dull looking when you can have a brighter one that pops out and looks really good.
I agree, I’m not a fan of black interiors especially when BMW makes some of the nicest brown interiors out there. Maybe we’ll get lucky with the X7!
@@PRNTestDrive it has a Tartufo, coffee, beige, and Ivory white interiors that you can get with it.
@PRN_TestDrive I ordered the X5 50i with the ivory leather and it also has beautiful black accents. All black interiors are boring.
I drove the x7 and the new 7 series and i tell you that i loved the comfort and ride quality on both but the 7 series is a bit more calm and quieter on the Rode..beautiful vehicles.. Great review as always dude!!
We’re really looking forward to get the X7 featured, it’s delayed a bit on the fleet out here but it’s high on our list. I still would take this over a 750Li surprisingly, but the M760Li would be my pick if money wasn’t a problem.
@@PRNTestDrive dude wait till you drive it.. Its really awesome.. It feels very floaty.you dont feel like your driving at all!! This version reminded me of the lexus ls 460 with the bose suspension in a way.. Very quiet very comfortable! But 1 thing i dnt like about bmw and Mercedes is the AC they dnt blow cold air as much.. I mean you feel it but its not like toyota or others! Toyota AC is frigid cold!
Hopefully we’ll have a chance to test the AC, right now we’re still averaging about -10°C so no air for me right now!
@@PRNTestDrive lmao oh yeah you guys get very cold winters..better leave it for a hot summer day!!
Might end up being that way, we're looking at May or June most likely, either way I'm looking forward to it!
pure luxury mate I'm in love with this suv this or the larger X7 ??
X7 for me ..
The X7 really is the 7 Series SUV like BMW intended. From what I can tell though from a technological and mechanical perspective the X5 and X7 can be configured the same way, it ends up coming down to more interior space and rear seat features with the X7. We’re looking forward to get it though!
This is a good car to test. Great
Agreed! We really lucked out getting the 50i, it’s definitely the engine to test.
@@PRNTestDrive yes. With +550HP
I like that carbon black because in sometimes look in certain light it looks dark blue or navy blue.
So do we! Had to double check we had the right paint code written down when we filmed in the sunlight. Really gorgeous colour, our cameras don't do it justice.
역시 BMW
I laughed at “only has one package because base model is so loaded!” (Wow that’s cool) “... and it costs $16k” (ummmm, cool, I think...)
It’s a pricey option for sure, but you do end up getting a lot of the really luxurious tech with it. I believe the xDrive40i has a similar package with a lower MSRP, as $86k on its own is still a hard pill to swallow.
Good review bruv, just stop saying what you "will be covering" and just cover it. 😅👍
What was the loud scrapping noise at 15:00 when you started the engine?? Looking at a used 2019 one of our local dealers have on the lot.... thx!
Shouldn’t be anything of concern, that’s just the engine starting up.
Disappointed that no diesel options are available for North America at this time. Had three 35d's. Taking delivery of 50i in two weeks. Looking forward to it. Thanks for the great review.
Congrats, and enjoy! BMW has quietly dropped their diesel engines since the diesel emissions scandal broke a few years ago, BMW was named in some of the allegations but never got any serious media scrutiny from it, but they've phased out those offerings here. We'd love a diesel X5 to test out, but I don't think we'll be seeing anything unless we take a trip over to Europe.
You guys need to get a X5 45e to test and compare!
I'd love to get that! BMW has been cautious with their Montreal press fleet this year, they haven't brought much new out here with everything going on, but I'm hopeful they'll have more PHEVs on the fleet!
Great review. The X50i will trounce the M50 Diesel. Real world reports on the 50i M-Sport with the V8TT are coming in at 4.0 to 4.2 sec 0 to 100klm. That’s enough to beat the GLS and GLE 63 AMG. 😎. MT was getting 4.9 second 0-60mph for the X5 40i M-Sport and that is BMW’ X5’s entry level V6TT engine. I think the new ZF transmission is so quick and smooth, it hides how fast the X5 really is. This equates to a lot of speeding tickets.😫
I’m actually impressed I didn’t get pulled over during the week I had this. Usually the cops in my area pay closer attention to the flashy cars like this, especially when they have out-of-province license plates like BMW uses.
Scotty Kilmer always check under bed before night for this car
cool，this color is carbon black？
This one was black sapphire metallic, had a bit of a blue tint to it in certain light conditions.
A sexy voice, it has, the X 5.
What does your wife say to this review?😁
X 5 is an extensive topic, you deal with it in an informative and concise way.
Thank you! She definitely preferred this over the X4 we had the week after. Her only comment about this video was my apparent obsession with glory shots of those laser headlights.
Mistake alert. The early X5 did not have a split tailgate, did it?
It did. I guess we better cancel that red alert.
5:31 soo sad :(
What does the title even mean?
It’s an X5, so it’s 5 (from the X5) 7ths of a 7 Series. It’s a play on words, but also legitimately a fractional expression of what this vehicle is.
Poor people seating in back seat though including you Sir. If they put recline seat which is much better even become the best SUV in the earth. But sad for x5 (2 row)
BMW is holding off those features on the X7 to force people up to that unfortunately.
Oh no, you've been converted to SUV'S!! Now you're a SUV ZOMBIE LOL
Haha! Just wait until next week then, we feature the X4 M40i and definitely rip into it during the walk around segment.
Need a Diesel engine.
For Europe that won't be a problem, but I don't think we'll be seeing one here. BMW has quietly phased out their diesels, at least in Canada. No current 2019 model seems to offer one.
@@PRNTestDrive Thanks for your info.. I think BMW Canada should offer diesel for Canadian market.
I think so too! We saw a 2015 540d the other day in Montreal, apparently very few ended up getting delivered before BMW pulled the plug on them.
I take the Jeep Grand Cherokee TrackHawk over this pretender any day and obliterate it in speed, and can have it serviced at any Jeep dealer.
I wouldn’t compare this with a TrackHawk in the sense that this isn’t an M Performance or M car to begin with. Based on price though the Jeep is more in line though.
You just gotta deal with the poor build qualify and lack of tech
good car but would take an xc90 over this ....
The XC90 was a really nice vehicle, and if they really are switching to an Android-based infotainment it’ll make things very interesting!
@@PRNTestDrive they may as the polestar 2 now comes with an android based infotainment.
which one would u prefer the x5 or xc90
The XC90 has to be one of the best looking and driving SUVs in it's repsective segment however they need to offer a good 6 cylinder option as that twincharged 4 banger is a horrid engine.
I’ve seen some spy shots on pre-production XC90 test mules running the android system so they’ll probably go that route. I’ll be really interested to see how it works, as the Sensus system is one of the things I disliked on the models we featured.
As for offering a 6 cyl model, unless Volvo comes out with true Polestar tuned versions I doubt we’ll see larger engines from them. Volvo seems to be committing themselves to the twin-charge setup with electrification as the solution to adding more power without adding more cylinders.
for me X3 looks better and has better proportions. X7 looks good too
The new X3 is really handsome, I dig the design on it. Looking forward to getting the X3 M this summer to feature!
I'm Asian, so I own Lexus.
Joking, it's really about a person preference. :D
We're hoping to get some new Lexus models on the show soon!
