Electronics Could Be Better
Have 4000 miles so far. Performance is great and relatively quiet. Haven’t been for service yet relative to other reviews I’m seeing. Radio volume is clunky and goes up and down on its own. BMW states this a design feature. The presets are clunky but I need to take time to learn. The Apple play is inconsistent in its operation.

Wonderful Vehicle
The 2019 BMW X5 is hands down one of the nicest cars on the market today. We purchased ours approximately 2 months ago, and so far it has been wonderful, with only one or two exceptions. Handling and ride quality are phenomenal, as the vehicle drives and accelerates similar to a sports car. The ride is extremely quiet and smooth, and the interior nothing short of coddles its occupants. Material quality is exceptional, especially as ours was outfitted with the extended merino leather, leather dashboard, and glass controls. The only drawback is the glitches in the bluetooth, especially when using Apple CarPlay, which occasionally disconnects and the phone must be removed and added back to the vehicle. Otherwise, the X5 is a great vehicle, and we expect it to last us a good while. Both the front and rear seats are extremely spacious, and the multicontour front seats with massage and ventilation are a wonderful feature to have, as there are seemingly endless ways to configure the front seats specifically to one's comfort/liking.

BMW X5 50i 2019
Update: after driving 60,000 miles the front differential went out and $5,000 to repair it. Brakes and other wear and tear the car just didn’t hold up. BMW isn’t what it was 20 yrs ago - bland and boring is where we’re at. Hands down - BEST BMW ever (yes, I know M's...) I have had an X3 x-drive ('08), X1- x-drive ('11), X5 x-drive ('17) x3M40i ('18) and now the X5 50i ('19). I love everything about this vehicle. The seats, steering, leg room, engine performance, handling, the sound system (I do not have the super expensive one, don't see a reason why you need it, Harmon Kardon is just as great). The front passenger and driver seats are amazing (I have the premium 20 way seats) comfortable and study. Oh, it’s quiet, powerful and just roars off the starting line. This is the way a BMW is supposed to drive. The technology, voice commands, autonomous driving as well as the lane departure warnings (which you can control via using your f^*#@*& blinkers) all work perfectly. Zero complaints about the X5 50i. LOVE everything about it.

The Idrive sucks
I only owned this car for a month it’s been in the shop twice in regards of it kicking me on and off from I Drive to CarPlay on again off again. Simple hand movement it mutes the radio. The navigation quit working.
