Best Ride I Ever Had

I recently purchased a new BMW X5. The search was challenging as I dealt with five dealerships. In the end I got the color and interior I wanted. I took advantage of the current rebate. Although the car was very expensive everyone (friends & family) told me it would be worth it. IT WAS! I have been driving more than 50 years. Never have I experienced driving like my new X5! It is outstanding.

I have the XDrive40i as I need all-wheel drive in the mountain winter. This car handles like a sedan, is astonishingly quiet, has brilliant power (even in my 4 liter version), has brilliant safety & driver assist features, and is a complete joy. A few thoughts for potential buyers: I regret not getting the Harmon Kardon audio system; the standard Bose is disappointing. I strongly recommend Driver's Assistance Pro Package & Luxury Seating Package (especially for long trips). To me, these are must-have. The first makes me a much safer drive on long trips. The second adds hours to the time each day I can comfortably spend behind the wheel. I also have Off-road package (because I travel on lots of rough roads getting to trailheads) & Convenience Package (wireless charging!), and Parking Assistance Package (3D view is pretty great). These are all nice to have, but not as indispensable as the first two.

BMW STEPPING US THEIR GAME

What a wonderful driving SUV! Traded in my 2019 x3, which was my baby, so that I could experience BMW at its finest. This beautiful piece of machinery will wrap your senses in LUXURY. Talk about rewarding yourself! The tech is a little more comprehensive from all our previous BMWs but in time should be just fine. It pretty much includes everything you want to know and things you don’t. The beast can be a little intimidating at first drive. From an x3 to this is quite a leap now. It might feel a little larger than life because the whole driving experience is elevated literally and figuratively. The 20” wheels are stunning and recognizable BMW, and the new ARCTIC GRAY a perfect unique choice. This standard of excellence is worth every penny. Don’t be intimidated by the price. Do your due diligence and you can score a great price. We bought a service loaner with 3000 mi. for $10,000. (!) under MSRP.

Awesome

Got the 2020 X5 M50i and love it. This is my 87th vehicle that I've owned (I know, it's my weakness) and if not my favorite, it's a close 2nd. It is so fun pulling up beside a Mustang GT (which I've also owned) and saying "I'll run you for titles" and watch the look on their faces as to why would a guy in an SUV say something like that?! So far only one taker....he lost but I let him keep his GT! The only drawback is the technology is complicated to use.

Terrible electronics

Had my 2020 x5 x40i for 3 months, been Pacific BMW 3 times to reprogram wifi and cell phone communication. After the 3rd visit they fixed it, now it's out again, I will not fix it again, I realize the x5 technology is very faulty, so I'll just drive it like an old car. Unfortunately I bought it instead of leasing so I'm stuck. I traded in a 2018 audi Q5 with excellent technology, one of my biggest regrets
