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.

Powerfull, spacious , beautiful ,secure, consistency through decades , no other SUV matches the X5...when you drive a BMW you will not like any other brand, it's as simple as that...and the X 5 it's been the SUV daddy of the road for decades !

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.

My second XDrive 40i

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.

For the 3rd time in only 4&1/2 months since new, the tailgate will not open. I am very disappointed! This is an 85000 dollar vehicle, fully loaded. This should not be happening. Once again i will have to take it in to be fixed. I should have never bought it..
