    The X5 is the only BMW they haven't destroyed with the new bizzare styling changes. It looks, drives and performs great. Easily one of the best in class.
  • @keethuvish
    Thank you guys. Very genuine to the point practical evaluation to guide potential buyers. Well done
  • @WhatOnDaNet
    Love your format of the presentation ... I have subscribed and like ... Have a great weekend
  • @elaynecopeland5707
    Thanks for the details on the new BMW X5. Looking forward to hearing about the X3. Love the changes they made, but ouch on the pricing.
  • @richardhale2117
    Great review as usual, you guys do it best. I agree with and would LOVE to follow Zack's advice to drive the various suspension/wheel options before I order what I want, but my experience has been I am lucky to drive ANY X5, let alone the configuration I think I want to own. That's why in-depth, detailed reviews that give opinions and provide suggestions on the options (like you do!) are so valuable.
  • @jabelee2030
    I stand corrected. You had several comparisons to the Q7. Thanks. 😊

    Luv u both Great content Thank You
  • @Jorge_Magallon
    Great review. Sounds like it will be successful, but it sounds like I would enjoy CPO X5 more. As much as I don’t appreciate the “softening” of the mainline Beemers, going soft probably helps with market share.
  • @abpakdeep
    Thanks for providing us with details so it makes it easy to know which car to get.
  • @wheelwrightpl9429
    It is refreshing to see a new BMW which actually has nice styling.
  • @DilseRiya
    At about 9:47, Zach mentions “Clamshell” while describing the X5 boot. It should actually be “ Split tailgate” as Clamshell is a patented Audi design
  • @asoliveri1
    Love all your reviews! Thank you - One question - do you happen to know what the name of the wood trim was in this model? I don't think this exact trim is available in the US. (if it was I would love to get it as I have a X5 50e on order.
  • @cassandraatsea
    You can change / adjust air suspension to change the harder suspension for sports option.
  • @TeodoroArmenteros
    Always good and honest review. Specially taking into account price of all cars. This couple always looks out for their audiences wallets.
  • @harpia57
    I really liked the engine, power and performance that makes the BMW X5 among the best SUVs... I liked seeing you driving in white clogs. I wish success and many sales.
