3 WORST And 8 BEST Things About The 2025 BMW X5

Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! X5 or GLE?

I appreciate BMW for having features/options like Digital Key, 4-piston front calipers, LED cornering lights, the Executive pkg with glass controls & LED pano roof, soft/supple leather, Bowers & Wilkins Diamond audio and NO black plastic on the exterior unlike the GLE.

i am a mercedes guy but x5 is one of my frvt BMW

This channel is so underrated. Great video.

Wow, thanks for the review… It solidifies my decison that I had just purchased one: X5 xDrive40i, Carbon Black Metallic on Coffee.. I’m due to ride it in the next couple of weeks. Woohoo, can’t wait.

I have the 2024. One of my biggest complaints is when you are using a maps app if you need to change anything like air conditioning the screen changes. You have to make sure not to mess with it if you need to pay attention to the map. It’s really annoying!

Have been driving BMWs since 2005. in the meantime, over 11 cars. My daily-driver is the 2021 X3 30e which has the 2 liter engine, accelerates however like a Rocket. I test drove the Mercedes GLC before deciding to stay with BMW. The Mercedes was all plastic inside. All the metal-looking bits are plastic. In BMW, they’re all metal. The overall finish in BMW is vastly superior. The onboard systems, the I-Drive for example, is the best in any car. Great vid bro 👍

Dude.. amazing review!! Not because I am a fan of X5 but genuinely you didn't stop talking and showed almost everything. 1 suggestion - couple of things you said was not correct so may be prepare well before e.g. no rear reclining seats, if you get executive package, it comes with it

Great review.

What a funny intro! Miss your content Matt. (Not that you disappeared, I did! 😊) Love this X5 and I believe I even asked a while ago if you could review it and its PHEV version, so thanks. Btw, are we ever going to see your capless head? LOL.

The bmw X5 is the perfect SUV. I mean that. If I could afford any one of them, I would still get the 6 cylinder because it doesn’t need more. 4.5 seconds 0 to 60 is amazing standard. The smoothness. The refinement. It’s perfect.

Lovely video thanks for sharing! Which city you are in if I may ask…?

Great video! Also hello to my fellow Milwaukee area Wisconsin. I follow so many car Youtubers from the East Coast in West Coast and it’s real nice to finally find you guys on here. I go to road America often here and there, maybe someday we can meet. Subscribed.

Got me one of these!! love!!

as a owner of x5..here are worst things that i found 1. clamshell trunk. when only the top is open, u will find urself standing too close to the trunk that makes ur foot to trigger kick close sensor 2. walk close, away auto lock unlock option is freaking annoying if u r at home since they removed "exclude home" option. 3. u have to hold the trunk button to close. not press and release...press and Hold~! 4. engine shut off when u open the door. when my families r waiting in the car I need to open the door -> wait few sec.->turn the engine on-> then step out.

My grandpa has this exact same spec same wheel same interior same everything

Do all BMW SUVs have the different drive modes? I mostly use Efficient mode on my X1 and it's amazing. It still gives me the power and also ~30mpg in mostly mix urban driving and up to 40mpg long trip highway (I regularly drive 130 miles one way trip on weekends where around 110 miles of it are highway and the 20 miles split between before and after exiting highway).

2024 X5 is My Favorite German SUV. I Really Like the Split Tail Gate Hatch Back.

I just purchased a 2024 X5 M Sport package in Brooklyn Gray. I had a 2018 X5 (for almost 5 years) and traded it in for a Lexus RX 350 F Sport. BORING car. I kept it for 1.5 years and traded it in the new 2024 X5. I love the new X5 ... my only gripe is the ridiculously small A/C vents. I have to put the power on high (level 5) or one notch below high (level 4) to try to keep the car cool inside the cabin. MAJOR flaw in design. I also miss the hard buttons for climate control and the heated steering wheel.

I want an X5 but to get it to look like that you are no where near $65k 😢
