The 2018 x5m is going to be $10,000 cheaper. But hold off the 2019 will be redesigned

2017 X5M not worthy of cost

Pros: Engine performance and handling are excellent, exterior body style very aggressive looking yet attractive, interior leather dash and ambiance lighting also attractive. Cons: exterior colors and interiors colors options are limited, features such as active cruise control, automatic breaking not available, cabin noise tends to subordinates music quality & listening experience, issue with front park brake release during cold starts in the winter not fully releasing, performance 20" tire replacement cost (including run flat tires, labor, bal., alignment) > $2000.00 from BMW. This tire replacement cost may occur at approx 12000 miles of use without "showboating" cornering and driving, bluetooth connectivity inconsistent with approved phone, rattling from trunk lid or rear seat latches with every X5 I have owned (totaling 5) dating back to 2008.

X5M versus Cayenne Turbo

I have now been driving the X5M for close on three years and have grown used to its foibles. The performance and reliability are excellent but the software and related technical aspects are a pain and I defy anyone to remember how to use all the different nick nacks. If I have a gripe, it is the suspension which, although it is better than the previous model - it could not have been worse - is still substantially worse than the Porsche Cayenne Turbo with which it competes. They have tried to substitute big rubber for suspension sophistication and it does not work. There is also no ride height adjustment which the Porsche has and this seriously limits the car's off road ability. It is a good car on tar make no mistake, just not a great one and off-road it is a joke. In a nutshell, in my humble opinion, it is not worth the price and I will not buy another one.

This vehicle is excellent mechanically and performance wise, aside from averaging about 10 mpg. However there are other critical drawbacks. My major complaint was the quality of the paint on the vehicle. It had noticeable splotches along the front roofline, rear hatch and gas cap lid that became apparent when viewed in direct sunlight. Three different paint experts said this was a systemic problem with the paint application at the manufacturing plant. The dealership replaced the gas cap lid but refused to address the other issues. Their reasoning was that those same splotches were evident on other X5M's. The manufacturer sent a technician out and he said he couldn't see them. Their customer service is the worst I have ever dealt with. We dumped the vehicle and will never buy another BMW.
