Great vehicle~until you have a issue @ 1k miles
The 2024 BMW X5 xDrive40i is a fun, fast, and a fuel sipper (28 mpg while cruising at 81 mph) . Until, you have smoke pouring out of the hood and fenders at 1,000 miles and four months, since the BMW rolled off the factory floor. This was my second attempt, to own a BMW in the hopes that the reliability has improved over the years. Unfortunately, history repeats itself, even worse this time! 800 miles and a valve cover gasket leak due to a “cut from factory”. I do not know what happened to quality control but apparently that has gone out the window post COVID. However, what has made things worse, not only did this occur while attempting to visit family 600 miles away but BMW road side assistance/Customer Care is TERRIBLE! To be honest, it makes me sick to think one spends so much on a “performance luxury brand” and was treated better by General Motors (GM) when a major issue occurred with a GM vehicle. I have lost time (in my opinion is more valuable then money itself) visiting my family, stress for being broken down on the side of the road with a four month old. Then to add injury to the situation, no rental car available and BMW couldn’t not locate the vehicle via BMW’s own GPS emergency services. BMW customer care’s reply to this disaster was, “So sorry this happen. Well glads its fix and next time it breaks down call us back to figure something out.” This is awful and just goes to show how dismal this corporation regards its customers. So buyers be prepared to have better customer care and assistance by GM than BMWs performance luxury brand when something does go wrong.

Worst SUV in the market
The vehicle has a recall which causes catastrophic engine failure which BMW is failing to notify consumers about. Unfortunately my vehicle’s engine failure occurred prior to the repair for the recall. They replaced the full engine body and turbo, released the vehicle to me and of course there were still engine problems causing a lot of smoke and engine to overheat. They refuse to replace the vehicle.

Best X5 I’ve owned
Improved performance. Front and rear styling are improved as well as the shadow line trim and lighted grille. I chose carbon black metallic with 20’ m sport wheels and run flat tires. Executive package, msport professional. Been driving it for 3 months and absolutely love everything about this car. This was my first time ordering from factory with exact color and option package’s I wanted. You won’t be disappointed!

Only have it for 3 weeks
I got this suv three weeks ago. It drives well but had to take it back for service because the display screen went black twice. It’s at the dealership now. Hope to get it back soon.

First BMW - not the last
Have owned many MB, Audi and Lexus - traded 23 RX 500H on the BMW. Lexus was great vehicle and had no issues at all - just wanted to try an X5. As nice as Lexus was, the X5 is a nice step up. Have X5 Loaded with nearly all options as was Lexus. X5 is smooth, quiet and fast. Nearly as good economy as RX500H. Merino Leather interior is beautiful and comfortable. Prefer seat comfort of X5 over RX’s. Dealership was also a step up in terms of attitude.
