Electric Failures and Glitches

BMW Nightmare Vehicles, 12/17/2019
2019 BMW X5 xDrive40i 4dr SUV AWD (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 8A)

Vehicle purchased brand new in June 2019 the BMW X5 has been in for repairs 6x for electric module component issues, automatic engine mechanical failures, key fab failures & recalls responding to the vehicle, GPS failures, side assist malfunctions, radio does not turn off when exiting the vehicle, car will continue to run even after the start/stop is pressed. BMW dealerships do not take ownership if it is new, they are "independent", in addition BMW North America refuses to take responsibility for their vehicles.

I must have leased a different 2019 X5 than some of you. The ride is excellent. The handling is great. Most comfortable BMW ever drove. Tons of cool technology. I often wonder did anyone of these reviewers drive the new Mercedes, nice car but handles like a boat. The Q7, nice car but older technology. Neither of these handle remotely close to the new X5. Yes, its pricey but its a paradigm shift from the 2018. Well, well worth it.

Be Very Very Carful

Beautiful vehicle, great body and interior design. So much for the good stuff, extremely complicated this vehicle needs a co-pilot. I purchased the vehicle without driving it as I usually do with my BMW's so, basically my bad. With all the safety features this vehicle has, it is extremely hard not to keep your eyes off the gadgets and on the road where they should be. The "Lane Departure Warning" throw's you back into your lane if you're trying to get out of one with a solid line. "Telephone Blue Tooth" and "Car Play," your phone is never connected, "Cruse Control" has so many features, you need a 30 min. webinar to use it safely. All through the first tank of gas, I couldn't even shut the vehicle off if I left the key in the vehicle. Please Please drive one before you purchase. It's a beautiful vehicle, but, extremely complicated to operate.

Best SUV in its class

This is the 3rd X5 that have owned. Refinement and finish is best in class. Handling and ride is so comfortable without compromising agility. The X5 is as comfortable as the best sedans. This came with acoustic glass option which makes the car so quiet. The inline 6 is more responsive than previous generation V8 X5. Gas mileage is decent and able to average 27 mpg on a trip and 21-22 around town. New generation idrive is excellent. Bluetooth connection is buggy. Found that if I leave YouTube operating in the background of my iPhone that there are no issues. I am sure that BMW will fix the bug.

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.
