Well, I do! ❤ I love it for the solid drive, the seats are comfortable and the cockpit is spacious. I love the special touches of choice in ambient lighting. I looked at a 2020 x5 and they had this sort of ridiculous hand gestures, but none of that in the 2023. Instead, a sleek console that I am still learning. So it is kind of awkward getting out, maybe the non existent running boards, and the second row seats legroom is not as spacious as the Q7 , but is sufficient. Still, im going to enjoy learning the infotainment system and just driving around time. I am looking forward to a long drive 💕

Such an upgrade

Previously owned 2020 x5 40i, which is a beautiful SUV and the nicest vehicle we've ever owned, until now. The 2023 x5 M50i with the heated front and rear seats and armrest, heated steering wheel, Bowers and Wilkins diamond surround sound, front massaging seats is such an upgrade. We feel like we could live in it! The idrive is improved in my opinion. The suspension is a little sportier, more connected to the road. Just purchased it, still have to take it on a road trip.

Awesome Hybrid! Fun to drive!

I have driven almost 10,000 miles and have only used two tanks of gas! I usually get 32 electric miles per charge and plug in at home and have ability to charge at work. My commute is 21 each way which is perfect. I love the it keeps track of electric miles vs gas miles. Car handles great and is a beast in gas mode. Interior is comfortable ( had a Range Rover sport before) and info system is easy to use. Large display is nice. Only negative is hand gestures- if you grab your drink or use your hands when talking you can trigger the volume or mute it on accident. LOVE the cargo area in back with the drop down gate.. no more things falling out when lifting the hatch.

Would love to be 100% electric, but for our current state in the evolution from dinosaurs to solar BMW got everything right. Very happy with this car that let’s 98% of my travel use electric, but is also a full fledged gas-based machine for when I need to go farther.

Xdrive45e - Great car, but caught in a transition?

The X5 seems to be caught in between ICE and electric, old and new in a lot of ways. The combination of old school buttons and the Infotainment system appears to have been designed by a committee that couldn't decide whether to be modern (touchscreen), adhere to the "dial" the whole brand uses, or cater to technophobe that wants their car to be like the one they had in the 1990's. I'm still trying to figure out what I need to use a manual dial/button for and what I need to go through the infotainment system for. I wish I could type on the touchscreen and not dial through letters for the NAV, which is otherwise great. The factory setting limits the battery charging to 6 Amps. When I first plugged mine in (battery at zero), it said it would take over 48 hours to charge. As a prior PHEV owner, at least I knew something was off, and I adjusted the 6A to 16A through the settings. I was puzzled that it only drew 10A after that (shows up on the dashboard), and then I realized that BMW supplied a 10A home charger, which is ridiculous for the size of the battery (a ten year old Prius PHEV with a 14 mile range battery used a 12A charger). So now I need to invest in a better charger, which I shouldn't have to do for a car at this price point. The 16A max input is also a thing of the past - I have a 240V 40A outlet in my driveway, so let me charge in <2 hours! I didn't think I'd like or want the heads up display, but after a few hours, I decided I really liked it, and what one sees there is highly configurable (including removing the annoying red color of the speedometer when you go 1 mph over the posted speed limit). The drive is excellent and the 'e' drive gives the car plenty of power. I love the adjustable seats (comparing to a Tesla). The steering correction gets confused at times if there are old lines in the road or other straight lines that conflict with the lane markers. Overall, I'm happy with my purchase and I believe it is the best large PHEV out there. But I'm puzzled that a company that prides itself on its engineering couldn't do better, especially on the charging capacity.

A great car but BMW has removed features

This is my fifth X5. On this 2022 model BMW is skimping on details to wit: the removal of the fog lamps (Where I live these are essential), remove the off switch for that annoying engine off at lights (it won’t turn off in Sports mode), removed the electric rear power close on the lower tailgate, The removal of the metal luggage protective bands on the floor of the trunk. Further it took two months to get my car, a car I didn’t specifically want but the electric version would not have been available until October or later 2022. The ultimate driving machine is becoming a disappointment. Instead of under promising and over delivering, BMW is losing its panache through skimping.

Great vehicle, except for the back-up assist fail

Love the smooth and refined drive - a real pleasure especially on long trips Love the hybrid - driving in electric mode is very quiet - adds to the refinement. I've gone 1-2 months between trips to the gas station when I've been mostly local Back-up assist is a failure - it was fun using it to automatically back out of my garage until it missed by a little and slammed the mirror into the side of the garage door. Side mirror costs $2,200 to replace. I complained to BMW that the back-up assist doesn't work and they said "too bad" the user manual says don't rely on it, so you're on your own. What a waste of money.

Love my X5. It is comfortable to drive and has the speed to make me feel confident when merging. All of the safety features help with a positive driving experience. It is a wonderful, beautiful vehicle that I am fortunate and proud to own.

Great and dependable with good fuel mileage

The BMW X5 is awesome. No problems or complaints. After 37,000+ miles and 3 years of ownership it has done nothing but impress us. It gets 28 mpg combined driving and slightly over 30 mpg on the highway as long as you keep it at or under 75 mph. The vehicle is as quick as many performance coupes hitting 60 mph in less than 5 seconds and it handles like a good sports coupe. The ride is comfortable and so far we have had nothing but a great experience with our X5. It is really fun to drive. We never thought that we would ever enjoy it as much as we do. Great job BMW!
