Favorite Car I've ever owned

I drive around town mostly. So far, of my 15,000 miles, 12,000 are electric. BMW has appointed its vehicle well, and it's a comfortable ride that's also a lot of fun.

Ocean liner of a vehicle

I just said goodbye to the X5 M50i after three years and 45,000 km and must say it was one of the loveliest vehicles I have ever driven. The insulation is amazing, the 21 inch tires eat up the roads This really is an ocean liner of a vehicle that treats potholes and rotten roads with the contempt they deserve. It has one of the smoothest rides of any vehicle I have driven and just eats up the miles. It isn’t the most engaging SUV, thanks to its rather smooth ride, and that is one reason I switched to the X3 just now.The one drawback is of course the gas consumption, but I knew about that before I took delivery. and is downright appalling in towns. The other challenge is the weight of the vehicle and the staggered wheels which are very very expensive. But if you want to eat up the miles in luxury and silence, this beast is for you.

best of the best

Due to medical reasons I had to purchase a suv so I can get in and out of. I drove everything in it's class and this was the hands down winner. Luxury and power, the best HUD. Unfortunately the car did not come with the wireless charging it was not available. The standard stereo is not great, I would suggest an upgrade. All around it is perfect for me. 6'4" 290lbs

Fun car but mild hybrid is a drag

The car itself is wonderfully designed, panoramic room, accent lighting that will let you pretend you’re in your own personal limo, etc. However, the mild hybrid system was a a bit of a bummer. Disclaimer, I went on a BMW driving experience years ago, where they challenged us to push the cars to their limit. So naturally I wanted to see what this had baby could do in corners. Unfortunately even in sport mode the moment you tap the brake going into a intersection it can’t transition the engine to accelerate into the turn. Instead the car kind of feels like it’s stalling a bit mid way into the turn. It was a bit of a bummer but you know I guess we have to save every drop of gas possible. The car just isn’t as ultimate as it used to be.
