Beautiful Blend of Luxury and Performance

Bought a 2024 BMW X5 m40i about a month ago. Totally impressed! Exterior styling changes further enhance the beauty of the car. Interior is clean, simple, and elegant. Engine and transmission powerful and smooth. Very quiet ride! I carefully compared to Mercedes GLE 450 before purchase. GLE body style looked a bit dated and stodgy to me. Reviews of GLE touted interior luxury, but to me, the BMW is hands down more luxurious and up to date looking. During driving test, the GLE was not as tight and nimble, and I felt some roll in curves. BMW driving performance was superb and superior. For me, the choice was easy. BMW X5 delivers an excellent blend of luxury and performance that is best in class.

I have owned the X5 for four months now, and I am extremely pleased with it. The base engine is powerful and smooth, and I’m glad I didn’t get the 50i. The interior is beautiful and very comfortable. The technology package is also well worth it, for the self-driving feature. Multiple times now, I’ve been able to engage it on a highway, let it drive for 30 miles or more at a time. It does an nice job. My only complaint is about the lags and glitches with iDrive 8. But I just bypass it and use CarPlay.

Luxurious and fast, but not without faults

It has only 200 miles on it so time will tell how reliable it is, but everything works fine. We did buy the maintenance plan because the car has a lot of expensive maintenance which takes time and trips to the dealer. It’s my wife’s car and she looked at many of the competitors and chose the BMW. First the good things. It’s very smooth, quiet, fast, and luxurious. The interior has pretty wood and soft surfaces, a very nice wide screen, color changeable ambient lighting, lots of features and capabilities, etc. The sport seats are very comfortable and the front legroom and headroom are excellent. The start/stop function, which you can only turn off by putting the transmission in sport mode, is hardly noticeable. BMW has done a good job with the mild hybrid function and it gets good gas mileage, especially considering the power and weight. The transmission engages and shifts very smoothly. The infotainment/technology is very good and fast. It’s almost overwhelming. The car can do so many things from voice and gesture control, park itself, to lane changes. We’re still trying to figure out how to do certain functions that change with the different key fobs. That’ll come, but the class on all the features is almost a necessity. Utube has been helpful. The standard in line six turbo has all the power you need. Do you really need to go from zero to sixty in less than 5 seconds and go around a corner at warp speed? If so, get a sports car. The inline 6 has a very reliable reputation, which can’t be said about the V8s. It’s very fast. It’s a good thing the speed limit sign is displayed because it’s easy to go much faster without realizing it. The car is extremely comfortable and the run flat tires are very smooth. The vehicle feels a bit heavy, but it handles well. IMHO, you don’t buy an X5 to race. It handles well, but I would not say that it has sports car handling. Now for the not so good. The back seat legroom is tight and it’s a challenge to get in and out, especially since there isn’t a third row. There are no buttons in the cargo area to fold down the rear seats. For the life of me I don’t know why BMW didn’t include them, especially since many other OEM’s do and BMW includes so many nice features elsewhere. The “clamshell” rear hatch is good, and I like the little truck like tailgate, which protects the rear painted area. Don’t accidentally hit the close button with your torso when you’re putting something in the cargo area because the tailgate will close and send whatever is on the tailgate flying, not to mention surprising you. They could have put the button in many other out of the way places. The car does not come with a spare. The interior storage is limited. There is no sunglass holder and no storage under the front stack like most OEMs. The electronic shifter takes some getting used to. The wireless charger barely charges, but that’s what you get with most wireless chargers. You have the run flat tires, but where do you drive to in 50 miles, unless you have a spare, especially if you’re on the road? It REQUIRES premium gas which costs 20% more than regular so it’s like cutting the mpg by 20%. Consumer Reports terms it the most expensive car to own over 10 years and second most after 5 years. More than a Mercedes, Volvo, Audi, Porsche, Alfa Romeo, etc. Yikes! The depreciation really increases precipitously when the warranty runs out. It doesn’t come with leather unless you pay $2k extra. It comes with “Sensafin” which is a fancy term for vinyl. It does look and feel good and is supposed to hold up and look better than leather. It’s the first vinyl interior we’ve had in 25+ years and we’ve never had a problem with leather. BMW screwed up the selling process. Everything was fine on the first ordered car when we went to pick it up, until they went to finalize the sale on the computer. The trade title had already been signed, the paperwork done etc. It wouldn’t go through because there was a recall. This was on a car made days before. Some sort of software/sensor problem. Really? So she ordered an identical one, but that meant driving the trade home, picking up the signed title, etc. and waiting again. There were no recalls on the second ordered car so she drove it home, but they forgot to order the all weather mat in the cargo area on the second car, which necessitated another trip to the dealer an hour away. BMW’s high end sales process was good, but they glossed over the nuts and bolts of the basic sales process. That doesn’t bode well for the rest of the experience, but I hope it’s much better. She had to order another car and they still couldn’t get it right on the second try. We did order a spare from BMW, which costs $250, so the car has a spare. You can get a spare in an ordered car, but they don’t normally come on a car on the lot. I’ll update later on the ownership, which I hope goes much better. The software did hiccup. When the car had 250 miles on it all a sudden it starting saying lots of maintenance was past due. My wife figured out the car’s calendar thought it was 2035. Two attempts to put the real date in finally worked. Hopefully that issue won’t come back. On a side note I had the car ceramic coated at our house for 1/5th what the dealer would have charged. The car really looks good and it sheds water nicely from all surfaces. The car market has gone from 800k cars two years ago to 2.8 million today so the market has normalized and BMW is right at the average market days to sell so supply has caught up with demand. Dealers like to act like it was 2 years ago, but you can negotiate and every OEM has incentives like the 2.99% financing on the X5s. It’s going to get even better for buyers as the supply continues to go up and the dealers acknowledge it’s not yesterday.

Great car, if it doesn’t die on you

1st BMW for us. X5 50e. Great, loved the car. 3 months after purchase, 3003 miles, suffered “drivetrain malfunction” while going over the Grapevine in California. Towed to dealership in SoCal where the car sits to this day. Day 32 now. Service advisor said “Germany is making all the decisions”. Took 3 wks to figure out what is wrong. Need to replace the high voltage battery and some battery control module or something. No ETA on when parts will be available for repairs. No end in sight. BMW North America - talk about NOT being helpful! First and LAST BMW for this family. I’ve driven Hondas all my life, all my kids now drive Hondas… BMW lost a repeat customer for the next 30 yrs because of the poor service, not the crappy lemon they sold me. Was more than willing to give them a second/third chance, but not with poor customer service I experienced. Starting process to have BMW buy it back and get my money back. We’ll see how that goes…
A brand new car that died on me after 157 miles…

I acquired a new X5 50e with 8 miles on it. After roughly 160 miles of easy driving, the car simply died. I came one morning to find it in my garage with a severe drivetrain malfunction message that prevents the engine to turn on (cannot engage the transmission in drive mode). More malfunction messages kept on coming afterwards as well. The car got towed to the dealership and I have no ETA for the repairs, after they had the opportunity to work on it for a full work day. I am. It even sure that the diagnosis is understood. Not what you expect from a new vehicle from any car manufacturer. I don’t have a car right now and the best bmw has offered me so far is to pay for my Uber rides, up to a clip. The dealer does not have any loaners. If you plan on purchasing this, you have been warned :) UPDATE: This is an update to a review I wrote 20 days ago. My new x5 50e with roughly 160 miles on it had a component failure (combined charging unit). To make matter worse, I did not have a good experience with the support from the bmw. I had to escalate emails to get them to do something about this. While they finally got back to me to help out with a compensation, they also told me that the component that needs to be replaced would finally be delivered this past week to the dealership. Please also note that I was told by the dealership that the part in question is back ordered from Germany and also undergoing some type of design upgrade. The part has yet to be delivered; not even clear of it has been shipped according to my last conversation with the dealership yesterday. 10 days ago both bmw North America and the dealer told me that it was on its way and to expect the car towards the end of this past week; but now, the dealership has changed its tune (they do not know when the part is coming in saying that there is no way to track it) and my contact at bmw customer service is not picking up my calls nor returning my emails (hopefully just on vacation but I doubt it). I am still waiting with absolutely no ETA for this. It could be next week, it could be another couple of weeks? No idea. While the dealership refused to give me loaner (some strange policy they have for customers in situation) or replacement vehicle, they were able authorized a rental car under their name (Nissan murano that I had to change recently for a Hyundai hybrid suv as it was not properly serviced). So that’s my story 😞. Owning this x5 50e has just been a complete nightmare.

3d X5 and THE Best

Owned since mid May and now with 6K miles. Traded in 2019 model which was the second X5 we owned. The previous one was great but this is now even better. Fantastic speed 0-60 and it is like a rocket when passing using the Sport mode. The outside is cleaner and sportier (happy they kept the traditional kidney grill) and interior has a true luxury feel. New technology (curved info screen has perfect visibility for driver and front passenger, apps setup and appearances on screen is like an iPhone, easy to see and track mpg performance for each trip and overall (I’m achieving about 1.5 mpg above rating), ability to customize instrumentation gives driver comfort to follow map and road directions and heads-up display map/direction easy to read and follow), ride is very smooth although I would have preferred regular tires over flat resistant ones since the latter is a little stiffer. Elimination of stick type shifter for a short and small shifter eliminates obstacle for reaching other controls on the middle panel. Reduction of air vents’ size reduces clutter while air stream is not reduced. Finally, you can tell right away that you are in a BMW because everything like doors, windows, body, etc. fit tight and reduce road noise to the max. Well done BMW engineers as usual!

Took delivery of my 2024 X5 50E last August and have had nothing but trouble since. Total system malfunction leaving me stranded for hours waiting for a tow, multiple software failures, steering column shuddering so hard when retracting it sounds like it is stuck, uncomfortable seats, etc. This is my third X5 and it is DEFINITELY MY LAST! My family can't believe I haven't dumped this piece of junk.

I've had my X5 50e for 2 weeks now and it is just so smooth, quiet, quick, and comfortable. Love all of the tech and after some time spent getting myself familiar with all of the tech I am now very comfortable just getting in and driving. I shopped it against the GLE 450e and the Range Rover Sport PHEV. If you know what to look for when looking at vehicles to compare build quality, it is just simply built better than the MB GLE450e, plus you get the rock solid BMW inline 6. The Range Rover Sport PHEV is well built, but doesn't feel as planted and is not as enjoyable to drive... plus you would pay a great deal more $ for questionable reliability. I don't buy cars for show. I mostly use electric driving around town and it's wonderful. If I want to punch it, the power is immediate and just downright fun. I love this SUV! I am very happy with this X5 50e. It puts a smile on my face every time I'm behind the wheel. My wife also enjoys the comfort of the multi-contour seats and the massage feature, so bonus that my wife loves it too. Right now I've averaged over 90MPG and the ability to drive around town on electric power and still have the use of the hybrid/ICE for longer trips without waiting around 30-40 minutes to refuel like a full EV is the sweet spot for me. I'll be happy to go full EV in the future when the charging infrastructure is better built out and battery technology has improved. The only con I would have for the X5 is less than desirable backseat legroom. It's not something that affects me, but being 6'1" when the driver's seat is in the most comfortable position for me another 6 footer behind me could use a couple more inches of legroom.

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.

Car drives great. A/C design changed from 2023 to 2024. New design does not produce sufficient air volume to cool the vehicle when hot. Takes 10 minutes to cool. BMW does not acknowledge this as an issue. You will have to tint car to keep from sweating.

There is a manufacture defect on X5 50e. Search online for checking engine light or CCU replacement. There are lots of frustrated owners. I wish I had known that before I bought the car. BMW doesn't know how to fix the problem and your brand new X5 50e will likely be at the dealer's repair shop for a long time.
Amazing X5 - powerful, efficient, and comfortable!

We absolutely love this X5! It is a very quiet SUV - as quiet as the BMW 7-series - that is both very efficient in short-distance city driving and genuinely fast (0-60 mph in 3.9 secs per Car & Driver) and comfortable on long distance trips. For short-distance city driving, the X5 50e drives almost entirely on its battery which lasts anywhere from 35-40 miles (on 80% battery charge) based on weather. That is a decent range for anyone with short work trips on a daily basis and exceeds the EPA estimate for 100% charge. More importantly, if you install a 220V outlet in your garage (highly recommended), the X5 charges to 80% in ~1 hour 50 minutes and you can program the X5 to charge when the electricity rates are the lowest for you with the BMW app updating you on the charge status at all times. Seriously, this is a very good, no hassle, electric car during the week! For long highway drives, you need to navigate to your destination through the BMW navigation system, which is excellent. When you do this, the BMW knows exactly where it will go uphill and where it will go downhill and combines this knowledge with its traffic information to drive as efficiently as possible. I've routinely averaged 35 mpg on my long-distance trips to Southern California or Tahoe which is excellent for an SUV of this size! Best of all, this X5's interior is beautiful, the seats are comfortable, the Harman Kardon sound system sounds amazing, and the Highway Assist (autonomous driving system) works extremely well making long distance drives very relaxing. Finally, for the aggressive drivers, this X5 has a Sport Mode that turns on the powerful BMW I-6 engine, quickens the steering, stiffens up the air suspension, makes the accelerator snappy, and opens up the exhaust so it sounds like a proper sports car - it is all done very nicely :) Before buying this BMW, we spent a lot of time - not even kidding - driving SUVs from competitive luxury brands and in the end, we decided to go with the X5 50e. After having driven it for 10 months, my wife and I absolutely love it! Bottom line, if you have short work commutes but drive long distances over the weekend to explore the outdoors or visit family and friends, you need to put the X5 50e on your consideration list :)

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.

Bought this car 8/2/2023. The dealer has had it for 18 days during this time. It has 800 miles on it. Had to have the windshield replace because the factory never connected the rear view mirror. Tire pressure light has been coming on since driving it home. Dealer states needs a new tire. ( when did tire manufacturers stop prorating new tires).

Great overall car. I ordered it fully equipped with most features. All of them are worth it. Highway assist, electric capabilities, seats and air suspension are the top features. Have it for 8 months (8000 miles) and no issues so far. M-sport trim black interior, silver interior still looks gorgeous. Use electricity in about 50-60% miles in San Francisco Bay Area. I can drive about 40 miles on full charge. Wish it was 60 miles sometimes.

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!

Excellent build, great finishes, fun to drive in all modes. Most of my driving in in hybrid or pure electric. It is a beast in sport mode. Over 1400 miles, I got an MPG of 41. Yes, the trunk is a bit reduced, but still plenty large for a good size family. Interior space is excellent. Now the things that need improving: there are some software glitches that turn off the driving assistance mode "just because" by warning it is not available, you need to park, turn off the car, wait a minute, restart and all is back. That MUST be fixed fast, please. the autopilot is excellent and works magic when there are slow moving queues and packed highways.

We had owned a full electric car and had problems finding charging stations that worked or that had long waits on a trip from San Francisco to Phoenix last year. Most of our “trips” are less than 50 miles. Now we don’t have to search for charging stations on long trips but can use electricity for our daily rides.

The good... This is one fast SUV. Throttle response is right now quick! Passing, merging, just driving is FUN! Smooth ride, good handling. Used the self driving feature last night...wow. Interior is amazing, got the upgraded (Tartufo) leather and suede headliner. The best car I have ever owned! The bad... It's going to take me a month to figure it all out. I'm not tech ignorant...but this car is a computer on wheels, with an operating system that is confusing. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but if you are looking for a car to just get in and drive, this one is not it. You can, but to access all the benefits takes time. UPDATE: Well, been driving my BMW for over a year now, and my opinion hasn't changed much. Fast, quiet (especially in electric/hybrid mode) and comfortable. I drive it mostly in ECO Hybrid mode (one of 7 modes!) and averaged 52.2 MPG last year. But occasionally, when I'm feeling young (and the road is open and dry) I put it in Sport mode and have fun! It's expensive (especially when you add a dedicated 220V outlet to charge it) but worth it!

I ordered my 2025 X5 50e, and it was delivered early. I could spec it out exactly like I wanted, which was nice and got me to look away from EV manufacturers, which makes buying so much easier. I almost went a full EV just because I could order it like normal humans purchase anything without the dealer nonsense. I still spent 5 hours at the dealer, which pains me to no end, and I'll be happy the day the dealer "experience" is history. The car has been great so far. I was worried about some Apple CarPlay reviews and problems, but I've had a perfect experience. I get in and start it up, and the phone works quickly- no issues for me. I love how quiet this car is. I came from Lexus, and this is far quieter. I love good car sound systems, and the X5 Harman Kardon doesn't disappoint. I'm particular about sound systems, and I took a leap of faith after hearing that some prior years were not that good. This model doesn't support the Bowers & Wilkins option, but shout out to DM Sound on YouTube for the detailed review that helped me seal the deal with this model. It's hard to test audio on a test drive, but I'm quite happy with this system after testing it on my own. As for the daily driving, I'm not the person to tell you how this thing handles. I don't care about that. I want quiet and freeway passing when I need it, and I don't want to feel like the transmission is filled with gravy if I push it. So far, this SUV handles better than any car I've owned. I tried Sport Mode one morning alone on the road and holy hell, it moves. It's faster than I need or want, but I guess it's good to have. I came from a sofa on wheels, and I don't miss it. This unit rides like a dream but also handles much better than my former car. I think it must be the air ride. It's just right for me. My wife and I both love the preconditioning, especially on cold mornings. It works exceptionally well, and it's so luxurious to leave on a chilly day in a warm and comfortable car. We live in a hot part of the country, so hopefully, the summer preconditioning is also suitable. Have not tested it. My only complaint is the backseat. I'd love the seats to move back some and recline. I'm tall, so anyone behind me is pretty cramped. I think it's because of the battery, but I also think BMW could have worked out a little better solution. Easy for me to say. I also don't like run flats. I don't notice any issues with them in this car. I just like the option to choose Michelin tires, and I don't think they make anything for this model. Please find a way to add a doughnut spare and let me use regular tires.

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.

The 2024 model has greater electric power (for acceleration) and range, up to 50 miles with 100% charging (which you don't want to use all the time, ideally use 80% for 32 miles, which is still very good). It seemlessly gets assistance from the engine when faster acceleration is needed. Newest run flat tires from Pirelli are also much better than older run flat tires. It is actually easier to get the federal tax credit with this BMW than with other brands with comparable options, because you need to stay below $80,000 MSRP. Technical options are amazing. Just one shortcoming: they do not explain that interactive cruise control does not adapt to the speed of the vehicle in front of it and is just a regular cruise control. What they call adaptive cruise control is a relatively expensive option. BMW product managers made a mistake on this aspect and should have made it standard.

The BMW X5 M60i is a perfect blend of luxury and performance that delivers pure driving joy. Powered by a twin-turbocharged V8, it offers thrilling acceleration and a satisfying engine growl that makes every press of the pedal a smile-inducing experience. The handling is remarkably agile for an SUV of its size, balancing sporty responsiveness with a smooth, comfortable ride. Inside, the cabin is a haven of premium materials, advanced technology, and supportive, comfortable seating. Whether you’re cruising down the highway or navigating twisty roads, the X5 M60i feels equally at home, providing a sense of control and confidence at all times. In essence, the X5 M60i transforms even routine drives into something special, making it not just a vehicle but an experience worth savoring.

Special ordered dravit gray with many options to include fully tricked out M package with 21" 742M, open spokes.. Only to realize to get adpative curse, needed to add the professional driving package. Didn't need to spent $2100 for an option (semi-autonomous driving) which I would probally never use. I buy BMWs to drive them! Ghost is powerful, smooth, quiet and packed with technology. She is my 5th BMW 525i, 750li, 535i and 840i never disappointed. Looking for Ghost to exceed all of them.

X5 Plug In Hybrid Road Noise Cresendo

Ordered a BMW X5 PI Hybrid after test driving a regular X5. Stay away unless you want to hear constant road noise on granular surfaces. It does have run flat tires which I'm sure contribute to the noise. BMW offers a vibration damper that helps but the dealer wants $500 to install the dampers. Very disappointing for a vehicle that cost 80k.

I didn’t expect performance gains as they weren’t listed by Bmw , which is typical, however, after using a dragy and testing 0 to 60 in 3.53 (3.37 1-foot rollout) and a quarter mile in 11.92 this beast is far faster than my M50i.

Unfortunately, I traded my 2023 X5 40i for this thinking I was “upgrading”…..the new dash/screen has the worst placement and it’s extremely awkward and low. The lighted logo and symbols along the passenger side dash is beyond tacky. But the worst thing about this vehicle is the performance! You can only go 50 miles on electric/hybrid, it lacks power and doesn’t accelerate like my 2023 X5 40i, the ride is rougher and the handling is way worse! While in sport mode I literally drove 32 miles and lost 97 miles worth of gas. Also, while in sport mode, the ride is extremely rough, noisy, and not pleasant! My old X5 (which I’m trying everything to get back) had the most powerful, smoothest, luxurious ride you could ever ask for even in sport mode. I’m so disappointed and can’t wait to get out of this vehicle!!!

I have owned the X5 50e for 10 months and have put ~11,000 miles on it. This has included city driving and 1000 mile road trips. - Perfect reliability, I have not had a single problem of any kind - Drives well and is peppy for a vehicle of this size, I don't need anything faster, I rarely use the full abilities found in this car - Ride is good, but you will feel potholes and other road imperfections, - Do not buy the hybrid to save money, buy it because it is a great system and you like the idea of running on electric whenever possible. The hybrid costs $5K more, which would buy ~1000 gallons of gasoline, which should be good for 25,000 miles. So you would have to drive 25,000 miles on electric to break even (if electricity is free), at half the cost of gasoline you would have to drive 50,000 miles on electric to breakeven. That seems unlikely, unless you keep the vehicle for a long time and drive it on short trips between charges so that you run mostly on electric. - I find gasoline milage to be similar to represented by the manufacturer. Electric range is 42 - 43 miles. OPTIONS (and are they worth it, IMHO) - I choose the sport model, I did not feel the need for the M Package as it is almost entirely cosmetic - Merino Leather - I love it, but the Sensation also looks very nice and is very functional - Multi-contour seats - very comfortable and adjustable - would get again - Message seats - very nice for long trips - would get again - Premium package - I would get again + Head-up display - how did I live without it? + Gesture control - At first I found it kind of gimmicky, but now think it has a few useful feature, but do you really need a fourth way to adjust the radio volume? + Harmon Kardon - sounds good I did not get the Executive package, because I did not see any feature that justified the cost - Driving Assistance Pro Package - I would definitely recommend getting it, useful on all roads with lane markings, as long as you keep your hand on the wheel. You can go completely hands free when on a qualified road (all freeways and major urban roads). It is especially useful to reduce fatigue on long trips. Works very well after you get used to it. - Parking assistance Package - I have it, but I don't use it much, although the programmed parking path is pretty slick and my spouse uses it to park in our garage. - Climate Comfort Package - I have it, but of marginal use unless you live in a cold environment and frequently have rear seat passengers. - Rear manual side shades - useful if you have a baby onboard - Trailer Hitch - I need it to mount a rear rack and pull a trailer, puts more utility in your sport utility vehicle The infotainment system has a steep learning curve, but works well once you are familiar with all of the bells and whistles. So overall a great vehicle, I like the plug in hybrid, running on electric is so quiet that it almost surpises you when the engine turns on. I find the hybrid system to be very smooth and the transition to ICE power is not noticeable, except for the engine sound. Acceleration in electric mode is adequate for any situation that I find myself in. But there is a LOT more power there if you need to put the hammer down.

Brooklyn gray, loaded and super comfortable extended Marino leather makes this SUV a game changer. Awesome full length screen, crystal clear sound system all for $80K. My trade was a 2022 BMW 840, also luxurious, but something epic about being up higher than other cars. This is all the car I ever need.

I can tell you that I have purchase many car/SUVs over the best 20 years. Mostly higher end vehicles like Mercedes AMG 63, Audi SQ8, BMW X5M Competition, just to name a few. the 2024 BMW X5 40i is buy far the best vehicle out of them all!! The muscle SUVs only know how to be one thing "a BRUIT!" The 2024 BMW X5 40i is surprisingly smooth when you need it and quick when it is fun and everything in between. BMW has the X5 60M but unless you just want the badge on the back, the price difference is not worth it. The X5 40i x Drive is all you need in this class, and I promise you, with the right color (Tanzanite Blue) it turns many heads! I promise that you will fall in love like I did after your first test drive. With the full M Performance package expect MSRP to be around $84k. BMW will offer Military and First Responder discounts up to $4k. I think I am in love!!!

Yes it is a drivers vehicle, quick, easy to feel confident and possibly safe. But after spending a long drive, this is my “opinion “. Too cramped & tight, actually boring dashboard and controls, price tag is all about it being a bmw. Interior is often boasted by all the magazine writing heads that it is high quality materials and so.o.o.o luxurious. Really? Pay more if you want any extra add ons, order something you really want and you must also order package 1 or maybe package 1 and 2, or more.

I like this car very much. I look forward to driving it and look for excuses to drive around and trips to take. So, let me just focus on the Cons: - The ride is jarring on rough roads. (I do not have the air suspension) Made more so by the run flat tires, which in principle I like. The run flats on a cold day on poorly maintained road is not pleasant. - The wide pillars increase blind spots. But if that is a trade off for safety in a crash, I'll take the wide pillars. - Back seat is comfortable but only adequately spacious. - No reclining rear seats. - Harmon Kardon system is only adequate. - Steering can be a little bit light and disconnected at times in some circumstances. - The single panel info screen looks a little awkward and could be better integrated. I think I prefer the two screen set-up with the "gauge cluster" buried in front of the driver. Knowing all this I still chose this car because all of Pros easily outweigh the Cons. The Pros are well covered in all of the rave reviews this machine gets, and I conquer. Note: The "safety" features are well integrated and easy to shut off. They stay off too, except for the greatest consumer hoax of all time, the Auto-Start-Stop "feature", appropriately, ASS. For this you create a short cut and its as easy to turn off it was with the button. You can no longer "code" it out, as in previous models.

See my video https://youtu.be/3WJkPxDlEx8. In short - the seats are literally painful. Not comfortable is the wrong word. Painful is the right one. And the quality of assembly is awful, it rattles a lot on a rough asphalt. The rest doesn't matter if you can't drive this car for more than 20 minutes.

Traded in my 2022 XDrive 40i for a 2025 at end of September. I thought my 22 was great, but 25 is even better. Improvements in engine, suspension and infotainment system. BMW’s X-5 is a home run. I’m very very happy to have the new model. You get what you pay for. I have nearly every option so that pushes the price up. But, I’m a quality and performance buyer, so loaded X-5 40i is right for me. And my dealer is great too. BMW Cleveland.

I owed this car for 15 Months and only put 5,000 miles on it before trading it in for the new X3. This was a great ride and the best car I have ever owned but it needs improvement when it comes to the reliability of its tires and suspension . In the time I had it two tires had to be changed due to getting punched by nails. The good thing was; I had the tire protection package if not one of these tires cost about 610 dollars. I also had to do a front suspension alignment with such low mileage due to the tires being worn out at the edges. I believe a car with a weight of 4098 LBS should have better tires with more rubber thickness thus proving reliability where the tire meets the road.

The car, when it works, is wonderful. The driver assist pro is a game changer. That being said, it has spent most of the first month in the shop. The center screen kept bricking, and BMW insisted on the "reboot, wait a week, and send him home" method of fixing it. They said that because it would eventually reset itself, that was fine. I guess I'm only supposed to be able to use it half time. They eventually, when I pointed out the lemon laws in Illinois, replaced the screen. It now works, but the check engine light comes on constantly.

Picked up my brand new X5 Xdrive 40i. Took me forever to find a X5 with the Driver Assistant package AND the Parking Assistant Pro package. I could find either/or all day long. I didn't want to order from BMW to save 10k give or take. If you're semi new to hightech cars, get ready for YouTube learning. I'm still learning the parking package after roughly 600 miles on odometer. Things like "gestures' and voice control are cool party tricks. Hands free up the highway is awesome. Backing in a parking spot hands free, gets your heart to race but works like a charm. Don't miss out on these two optional packages. I haven't used a key fob yet as my cell does it all. The "My BMW" app, (more YouTube) is great too. Lets me know all about me car, schedule service and even send the car directions for the future drive. Car is steadily depreciating as I type this but I'm looking forward to driving it. So far I've been easy on the RPMs, a little break in period. This car still feel nimble and ready.to go.
