The 2024 BMW X5 M60i xDrive Is The Ultimate V8 Hybrid Midsize Luxury SUV
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 15 มิ.ย. 2024
- When the original #BMWX5 rolled onto the scene back in 1999, it was a direct response to the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class introduced a couple years earlier. As buyers continue to snatch up SUV’s, the current #X5 has become one of the brand’s best-sellers. For 2024, the #X5M60i may very well be the sweet spot in the lineup with a new mild hybrid twin-turbo V8 putting out 523 HP, this refreshed model could very well be the ultimate midsize luxury SUV.

Good morning guys! We shot a TON of videos from the BMW event last week and this is number 3 of 8 that was filmed. Let us know here which vehicle you want to see a review of posted next. These are the videos we still have left to post: 2024 BMW XM Label, 2024 BMW X5 xDrive50e, 2024 BMW i5 M60, 2024 BMW M3 CS, 2024 BMW i7 M70
50e!!
50e please

X5 50e or i5 m60
X5 or I5 next!
I'm not a fan of SUV's as a driver, but I really do appreciate the interior space they can provide, and this interior is indeed beautiful. But why do manufacturers still insist upon placing everyday functions that EASILY should be, and without thought, accessed by a few simple in-dash buttons? It is beyond me. Heated/cooled seats and steering wheel, in fact, ANYTHING to do with passenger comfort, shouldn't be accessible behind sub-menus that force the driver to take eyes off the road. Otherwise, this is a beautiful interior.
Hats off to so many manufacturers that understand this. My wife's 2021 SUV is button heaven, making the driving experience much less distracting, and what's left for the screens to do is very optional and rarely used, but nice to have.
I hope BMW has figured out how to make their vehicles last beyond the initial warranty for secondary buyers. It's a rare sight to see any BMW on the road over 5 years of age when one takes into consideration just how many leave the dealerships new.
Great review! Your work is always appreciated and noticed by your viewers and me.
The simple summary of your comment: Do NOT buy this car👊👍. Absolutely agree.
One of the few current BMW’s that isn’t hideous. Actually looks better than the pre-refreshed model
This is one of the car they can’t screw up
Number 1 selling lux brand. People like them.
Yes, this and the 3 Series pay all of the bills for BMW. They literally can't mess it up. Maybe BMW will hire real designers after this fall from grace.
@@hellkitty1014 They sell more than that. 5 series, X3, are huge sellers.
@@Kenyon712 yes they are, but core products matter. The 3 and X5 are volume movers. That doesn't mean the others aren't.
Almost 23 years later the X5 is still goin strong in 2023….keep it up BMW!!!!
I think I heard Sofyan say "its an extra $2000" about 8 times.🤣
90,000 base price + 2000x8 = 106,000. Kind off adds up. 🤣
I own the pre-refresh. I like that version of idrive better than the new version.
Yeah me too. Not only does it seem easier to use with the buttons but It has a much more visually appealing user interface.
I like the functionality of the outgoing infotainment system but I like the aesthetic of the new interface better.
I concur! I’ll be getting the pre refresh or sticking to Porsche. Complete deal breaker for me!
I agree. My '21 was just totaled a month ago. It was a great car, my baby. I really loved it and it saved my life in the crash. I wanted another X5 like what I had. I thought the UI was just right. I'll miss the crystal glass shifter too. That little toggle switch is going to take some getting used to.
Agree, in a new one looks like in a Prius
The pre refresh is better imo. And it has the physical gear shift. Those screens looked tacked on
You are among the top reviewers impressive camera work, detailed descriptions of the vehicle. Just wanted to give some praise
Love the style, performance and tech in a Beamer but hate the depreciation and shop costs.
Was waiting for you to review this! Great job.
You’re so close to 1 million buddy! Let’s go!!
Excellent review! I bought one of these and absolutely love it.
X1, X3, and X5 are the best looking in the BMW lineup
Great looking SUV.
I can’t wait to see your X5 50e review! Love your reviews!!
My neighbor bought a 2024 X5 M60i and I got a ride in it! This things is awesome!!!
This is a very good looking SUV
Great video! Looking forward to you showing the beautiful Ambient lighting at night. The Sky Lounge ambient LED moonroof is amazing. One of the reasons I chose the M60i over the X5M is for the air suspension. It's very convenient to lower the car to help elderly people and our old dog get in and for loading/unloading. 🙂
I want this car
I like the "price as tested" listed in the intro graphic as you did here.
Best looking suv bmw. Good job
FWIW, the LCI X5 *does* have Highway Assistant with) hands free driving up to 80 (or 85 maybe) MPH, just like the 7/i7; it just doesn’t have the “change lanes using your eyes” feature from the 5/i5.
Weirdly the X5M doesn't get it, only the 45 and M60i trims 🤔
I currently have a 2019 530 Xdrive , I plan to upgrade to the x5.40 in the next 2 to 3 years , would love to see your take of the base model
Bought a 2018 X5 new and love the vehicle to this day.
Our I drive 8.5 has quick buttons by the a/c temp numbers for the seat heating and cooling no need to access the ac menu
I think with LEDs being so good these days there isn’t actually much need for front fog lights.
All you need is dipped beam and high beam
Why is the bezel thicker on the instrument cluster compared to the infotainment display?
Love this BMW. Ex Mercedes Fan
Like the new camera angle on the passenger seat
You have to have at least 310 miles on it before you get full power .its limited to below 4500 rpm till then. Also you forgot to hold down the downshift paddel for 3 seconds to enter sprint mode
Yep most reviews miss that. 0-100 best in a dirty road was 3.85 seconds better than BMW 4.3 as expected
That is one beautiful SUV 😮
Such a handsome looking SUV!
That color combo is amazing! In our local dealer I see only whites mostly…
Great review. I love a German car. I am currently leasing a 23 x3M40i my next one will be be a M3CM
So nice to own when it covered by warranty!
I'm sure & I've never owned one but I've owned an Audi & if not under warranty one must prepare to pay quite a bit of money for maintenance, this applies to BMW,Audi, Mercedes, & Volvo, I might have left some others out
@djsthemetereman these days, that includes EVERY manufacturer, it seems. Cars all seem to have a ton of built-in obsolescence forcing prices up.
@djsthemetereman I used to be a serial BMW buyer and would drive them well after the warranty ended.
With proper maintenance by knowledgeable mechanics they were quite reliable.
When they started to go all techno heavy I still buy them but I trade them in 500 miles before the warranty runs out
There’s some insurance companies like Geico that offer extended warranty as long as you add it to the vehicle when it was new. It’s fairly inexpensive up to 100k miles/7 years so I’m driving my stage 2 tuned x3 m40i out of warranty without much concern
@@Shane-fh4uu So even if Geico found out that it was tuned & a major issue occurs they will still honor the warranty?
I liked the old startup chime better :/
I personally like the refresh. However, I prefer fog lights, but they are not a deal breaker.
This new X5 is GORGEOUS
The m60i does not have active Grille shutters on it the 40i does
This way better looking than its bigger brother X7
X7, iX, 7, 4 and 2 series are all awfull. Both X5 and 5 series are much better looking
@@TommytumeeX7 still looks better than any other full size SUV
X7 Is hideous has always been, will always be
Can’t wait to get one as a CPO 😍
In order to activate launch control, you have to turn off traction control.
This BMW doesn't look hideous. And looks to be a riot to drive
Hi. Just drove my 2024 M60i on I80 interstate and I must say that the stability is a huge concern. I dropped the speed to 50 mph and exited the interstate as soon as I could. The car wobbles / drifts like you have no control over it. It’s extremely stressful and gives a feeling that I picked the wrong car. I’m open to constructive feedback and suggestions. Thank you.
I never understood how the x3 had rear reclining seats but the x5 doesn’t
Someday I buy 2024 BMW X5 M60i Sofyan.
The 50e has me won over. The only thing I am not happy about is you cannot option the Bowers and Wilkins on the 50e!
I think the biggest reason to get M60i over M Competition is for people looking to get a comfortable daily driver that still have plenty power to overtake on highway, while the M Competition is better at most aspects, it's suspension a bit too harsh for a daily, also as a avid cyclist M60i offer factory trailer hitch for a bike rack while M Competition doesn't.
Can confirm this. Just picked up up this vehicle and can say that after taking both the X5 M Competition and and the X5 M60i for a test drive back to back the M60i was more comfortable on surface streets. If all you deal with is highway driving this may be a non-issue. Another thing to consider is that they share the exact same engine. There will be inevitable tunes that bring power levels into parity (if you really think you need the bump in speed). Realistically either model is a hell of a lot of car that 95% of people will never get close to maxing out performance for.
@@averbalin It can be tuned up to 600+. Some have it tuned to 700+ with some sort of chip/electronic mod. For me, it was scary fast, haha, don't need more. And, it handles great. Love the air suspension and adaptive stuff.
@@averbalingot mine 4 months ago and totally agree with your assessment. The power is insane and feels faster than my E60 M5!
As a man who owns the legendary reliable 2010 x5 N52 xdrive30i and 2015 x5 xdrive35i, and works for BMW shop, the newer versions are beautiful….UNTIL you get that work order bill😂😂😂
a new X5 40i is also reliable
Your reliability comment doesn’t matter. X5s are reliable
the B58 is solid as a rock, have you heard about any reliability issues with it in the past 6+ years it's been out?
@@myemailiscool I haven’t.
Only the bmw haters who don’t know anything 😂
I am getting this one in a few months in the new year with the Carbon Black color.
Tesla really needs to do the 360 video with the reverse parking Ai! Other than that this is a really great design!
Is the x5 40i a smoother ride??
Are the soft close feature only for the front doors or all four doors ?
All 4
No fog lights weird, but yes the X5 like the other SUVs from BMW haven’t suffered to much from the current BMW design language with the front end.
My experience with iDrive 8 has been extremely laggy and glitchy. Surprised theyre still rolling out cars with this software.
So nice to own when it covered by warranty!))))
German perfection!
They have released the 8.5 update for the LCI X5/6 so this system is outdated. My X6 now has 8.5!
Active grill shutters on an X5 M60i? I had no idea. That must be an individual individual option?
No, it’s got fixed grille bar only
We're picking up my new X5 M60i this Saturday. It's replacing my '21 X5 M50i that was just totaled a month ago. I ordered everything that my '21 had, same Tanzanite paint. I would've kept it a long time as it was a great car, my dream car, and my 2nd X5. I'm bummed the '24 doesn't have fog lights as I used mine a lot. They really lit up the sides of the road in the dark. I'm not crazy about this trend to have all the controls in the touch screen. Also, the engine/exhaust note is much milder than the M50i. It sounded like a beast but this one won't be the same. We will see.
Marina Bay Blue is awesome. I get more compliments on that color than any other car/color I've ever had.
Working at a BMW dealership, the X5 M60 offers the option of toning it down to Eco or comfort mode, especially good when on the interstates. Of you want it more performance oriented, then sport and sport plus can be engaged. Also, in the northeast, roads are not in the greatest shape so the standard wheel set up with all seasons is the way to go. Great all around SUV, lots of room.
The design and quality of this is impressive. That’s said $105k MSRP as tested. Better to find one in 3 years with low miles still under warranty with some depreciation. You want to get one of these for no more than around $80k
White interior is the king
9000 subscribers to go!!!! LETS MAKE SOFYAN A MILLIONAIRE 🎈🎊🍾
If you had to pick one are you taking the X5 M60i or X5 50e?
The front facia of this one is off to me. I think it's the headlights. They're bland compared to others in the segment. Also, it looks like a Traverse from the back. The interior is fire though.
I am very very glad my 2021 does not have I drive 8 😊
People say Cadillac nomenclature is too complicated with names that are too long. The double standard in the industry are eye opening. This name is long and a mouthful.
@16:45...where is gas $2.79/gal??
X5 is a mid size suv????? wtf? That is a massive suv!
Then what x7 is?
Thailand 🇹🇭 Kenya 🇰🇪
Prefer the pre LCI interior and tail lights. Engine is a beast!
You may like the sound of the engine, but it in no way compares to the wonderful sounds of V-8 engines from the 70's. As a teenager, my dad gave me a Ford Pickup and he installed headers for me too, which gave the engine-exhaust an incredible sound. I felt so cool driving the pickup. I also had an air compressor with an air tank that powered a loud air-horn too. It was awesome.
interior is insane! if your goona get a new BMW DO NOT buy it without driver asst professional. TIP: if you hold the left paddle down for 3 seconds your enter sprint mode which will engage the electric motor.
Personally i preferred the previous setup the new dash with thick bezel display isn’t appealing. I also dont like the line in front of passenger on dash, looks subpar. But love the x5 in general
I HATE those lines. It looks so random and doesn’t look well thought out or executed.
I keep saying it- wth- no digital camera rearview mirror in a $100k vehicle?!
Also, I'm still a little confused on exactly what the 48V mild hybrid system actually does?
Can this BMW even be called a hybrid?
V8 it only adds power and torque.
i6 engines it can drive in battery only in traffic.
BMW finally reviewed their interiors. Especially the Mid Size SUV. Mercedes Benz can be more luxurious but this is more futuristic… even down to Idrive
Brand new at $105,000! I would until someone turns one in to the dealership after their 3 year lease expires.
Correction 400 miles on a full tank if your not using sport mode. Can't forget about that😅.
Those wheels need some tire shine really bad 😮
Change is sometimes hard. But a little crystal nubbin where the shifter should be? That's a bridge too far for me. Especially in a car that's supposed to be all about driver engagement. Whoever is telling BMWAG to "clean up the cabin" is totally wrong.
Basically old 2019 X5 interior except big screen..
Pity if you turn off the fake engine sounds you can't hear a thing without full throttle.
We turn the engine off when trying to start all the time.
Power wise so don't need the x5 m competition
Why do all TH-camrs walk when they are doing their intros lol
Idrive8 sucks no physical controls is extremely frustrating idk why it gets so much praise
Is the S68 an M engine?
technically, the V8 in the X5 M is called the S63 internally.
The answer is yes.
4 piston front, 1 piston back. Cayenne has 6 and 2
It is nice to have money. An automobile cost as much as a vacation home or a small house in many area in the country. It is better to lease the BMW X5 when the value depreciate 50% after 5 years and warranty period is over. It is wonderful vehicle, but like I said it is nice to have money.
saw this on the street.. and damn what a letdown... REAR end is not as nice as prior and the turn signal is just an afterthought... it just flashes red................ nothing sequential.... smh
Let’s be honest I can never afford this 😂
How do people afford this right?😂
Got to work 2-3 jobs for me to even save the required Msrp
Why don't they have led bulbs in this vehicle? lol
M550i
ㅡㅡ
X5 60i
ㅡㅡㅡ
Good 🎉😅
If that backseat window was on a korean or japanese car, it would be talked about negatively. But because its a german, not one word was said.
3rd row in X5 was useless, just like it is in other mid-sized SUV's. Keep 3rd rows where they were intended - in the full sized SUV segment
love it, gorgeous...but too much coin. Take away 15k in options and get her to 90k and now it's more palitable.
Pre refresh was better in every way. Physical buttons, no tacked on screens, real gear selector, way more adjustable air vents, and a better looking front end. I was going to buy an X5, but I’m going to be looking at Porsche instead because the screens are a complete deal breaker.
Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.
Agree. And I am happy owner of X5 45e 2021
What are you doing for 1M Subs? I have and idea :)
I hate bmw, but I must say these days, bmw interiors look more high quality and luxurious than mercedes. Im surprised
Love it except the toggle shifter..sucks..but all the German big 3 going for that look..well except Mercedes Benz with the flincky column stalk 😐
Agreed we have the m60i and the shifter nub is stupid
@bradk6047 shifter sucks 😕..this is the future of automobiles 😐
Buying a v8 in these times is crazy but obviously they can afford it. I do not envy that gas.
