My Dad is a CHP Officer. He responds to A LOT of fatal collisions. He bought this SUV not because of the status symbol because we are a very humble family, he bought it because he’s been amazed over and over again how many people driving X5’s walk away from MANY major collisions without major injuries. With so many crazy drivers in California we feel safer on the road with this SUV.

Excellent review, many items SHOULD be STANDARD

And suddenly I just got it yesterday and I'm so in love 💘 of my new X5 21!!! Thanks God!

This is the best X5 review I’ve ever seen.

Great review! Would have been great if you could have gone more in-depth on things like the different wheel size options, colors, and trims. Can’t wait to take receipt of my X5.

I hated the lane assist on my X5 also, one thing worth mentioning is that you can turn that option off as I did. I kept the lane warning which makes the steering wheel vibrate but the lane assist had to go!

Your review of the 2021 BMW X5 was very good, thank you. It would be interesting to see/hear your review of the 2021 BMW X5 M50i.

excellent!! Did a great job expalining.

Will you do a review of the Mercedes GLE? I’d be interested in seeing how you think it compares to the X5.

We are all George! Love all your videos brother!!

Thank you for the information

Great video. What is the exterior color of your demo X5? Artic Grey Metallic?

I wish they dint have really big grills but over all a LOVELY CAR

Felt the same with the standard brakes. The towing pkg uses Brembo fronts 18” rotors, and the m sport pkg also uses front brembos but with 19” rotors. Hopefully those stop better.

I love your reviews because they are super detailed.

Man I love these vehicles. I will own one, one day! 🙏🏾🙏🏾

Nice interior

There is a P button for park since if you push the shifter forward you go into reverse and pull the shifter rearward you go into drive. Most cars forward is park and all the other functions including reverse and forward are by pulling the shifter rearward. BUT if you are in drive and press the power button the car automatically goes into park. So you really dont need the P button unless you want to put the car in park but leave the engine running. The tailgate can be selected by a menu to open both halves or just the top half by pressing the tailgate open button. Leather is optional because some people dont want to sit on dead animals skin. I have leather in mine. The steering correction intervention effect is variable (mild,med,more severe).

2:29 i believe you can change the vehicle settings to open the bottom portion automatically with the top portion

We bought theX5 (dealer loaner) with 3500 mi. on odo. Arctic Grey 20” wheels leather, conv.,,premium packages. What an awesome SAV! Saved about $10,000 off MSRP! This is the best out there. German engineering just can’t be beat. INMHO it is a better choice than Mercedes, which just seems to have “cheapened” there integrity in the last 10 years.

I have x3 M 3L diesel and exactly the same things about engine - has just 250 hp but 0-100 km/h 6.2s like wau! Crazy! No spinning wheels.. just like slingshot from zero.

Thank you for your review. Just bought a 2021 X5.

Great video. Could you please do one for 2021 Mercedes GLE?

Nice,Car!!!

Great review. How do you like this vs the audi Q8

I just got my bmw. This car worth its price.

Dude. It’s George. 🎉👍👍🎉

when i see these dgital clusters not readable depending on sunshine i always would stay with a nice huge analog gauge black and white like my Lexus. yeah i think i stay with the new RX....plenty of reliability and quality.

Nice Review!!!!

GEORGE!! You’re doing car reviews bro?!? 😄

I just ordered mine, 2021 X5 XDrive40i, I hope I made the right choice! We'll see how it goes... :)

Great review. I’m really interested in the PHEV version for my wife in the next few years to replace her 2017 MDX.

Me Want!!!

Always enjoy your reviews. Can you do the new 5series LCI 2021. I am split between X5 and 5 series I6 before i make that ultimate decision lol.

Very good review!

You did an amazing job reviewing the BMW. When crypto pops, I'll be in the market for a new SUV. With all of the new SUVs (20/21) out there, I'm interested in your opinion.. Here's what I'm looking for: I'm less worried about price, but I am into the tech, the luxury and the performance. Any thoughts on what would be the best choice? Thank you in advance.

Can you compare this with the new 2022 mdx?

Could you do a review for the new 4 series too? Would love to see it!

You forgot the big addition...the 40i now has 48V mild hybrid tech, makes start/stop smoother and adds HP at low rpm...watched to hopefully learn more about this feature.

Why haven't you done a Mercedes GLE yet? I am trying to decide between the X5 and the GLE

I’m George, we’re all George! What are you doing here!? I’m use to watching you on Cryptos R Us. Great content over there! m looking for a new car, and came across this video. Glad to see you make other vids, you’re definitely a trustworthy opinion. Take care man.

Please review of BMW 840d gran coupe or 850I gran coupe. You better change your name to Drivers SUV Only :)

Upload 2021 BMW X5 on Turnbull Canyon Road to drive from Hacienda Heights to Whittier to go up and down hill.

how about the MINOR HYBRID on the 2021?

Is it twin turbo or twin power turbo???

Does it get the Apple Digital Key access to open it with your phone and share those keys with family?

How is it that the maps on all these cars look like the graphics are from 1999?

No comment on the mild hybrid

No mention of the new 48v mild hybrid system, new to 2021

Lmao why is the park button right where ya palm could hit it?

Do the back seats come back up with power or do you have to lift them up manually? They go down much faster than the Mercedes but those are power

Sadly as a new X5 40i 2019 owner I have to tell that not everything is perfect with this car. I also watch a lot of reviews, get in love with the car, and decide to ask for mine with the offroad package, rear steering, and the msport brakes for better handling; and not talking about that the seller didn't take note that I wanted pallets at the steering wheel, and that the contract said four zone AC and came with just two zones, the important problems come in a lot of ways. The worst is an strange deceleration with DSC light activation in some bumpy turns at low speed with some trembling and shaking some times, that the dealer and BMW Group itself in letters to me insist that this activation is a normal behavior of the G05 X5, even after I take it for an external diagnostic which report errors CD990B CD990E for front and back axel that correspond to DSC and DME and that maybe this could be the cause; also I had to take the car to repair the voice assistant that give some problems and stop to work in three occasions, and also have been having some external lighting fails to automatically turn off when setting in auto, also some times the system miss the USB connection to the USB stick attached and had to be reinserted to be read again, I had some videos of all that happening and I are starting to share it in a BMW user blog looking for help, imagine that. Also other things happens like really hot air coming out from the AC that was set at 19.5°C and strange sensation of the suspension a couple of times and other thinks but that could not be recorded for obvious reasons. Also there were some mild quality control problems like a mild imperfection in the drives leather sit that could be not found in any other part of the car or any other BMW we own including a G01 and an E70, yes we are buyers of the brand, and that they categorically refuse to fix it with a replacement alleging that this could not be control and could happen in the replacement also, I had the letter with this answer wrote at the mailbox, also the center consol sometimes take three or four tries to open and after that works normal, and also they had to correct the inclination of the gas cap because came a little tilt and verbally said that was common, also the right kidney of the grill was something loose and hat to be tight, and a leftover steering wheel seam thread had to be removed. Don't take it wrong, I really like the concept of the G05 X5, I belive it is a perfect balanced vehicle, specially when you could get any configuration package, now and not do sure, and when driving the engine and the car transmission feels grate, but when you get out of the local representative of Costco and the car loose acceleration, and no other cars do that, this really feels lousy, the Kirkland nuts and the chocolateis not enough to comfort you, and the worst is not to have this problem, is that the dealer and specially BMW Group itself (I wrote to them), they tell that this is normal and aren't going to fix it, that this is the new normality for then, that this is the ultimate driving machine underperformance; that is more disappointing because you have been left alone with a problem you can not fix. If That would really be the new standard for then they should have tell me that the car would occasionally behave that way so it would be my decision to buy it or not. Excuse me for venting, but the situation is frustrating.

The folded back seats are NOT flat !!!!

Can someone tell me why does this x5 not have a sidestep

Drivers Only what do you compare it with Volvo XC60? I know you test drive XC60 before.

The M-Sport with the M brakes is a huge plus. Looks like your test car is pretty stripped.

how much BMW x5 2020 Philippines

I have a 2017 BMW X5. I am considering trading my 2017 BMW X5 for a 2018/2019 Lexus RX 350 AWD f Sport due to reliability concerns. Which do you like better? My 2017 X5 brakes are the best in any vehicle that I have driven.

Seems like a mistake to remove the X50i, did they also remove the M40i???

Totally agree on the comment and examples that for a luxury SAV, wth this price - BMW really should have given more features as standard instead of optional. Same goes to X3. I feel they are being head scratching stingy and kind of a turn off at times as it can make it feel less luxurious than it should have been. Thank god the car is so comfy.

Given a choice between the X5, Audi Q7 or Mercedes GLE, which would you choose?

Check Engine light is standard. :)

I purchased the 2021 X5. The model I bought has the Driver's Assistance Pro Pkge, Luxury Seating Pkge 2, Parking Assist Pkge and Premium Pkge. I took possession Oct 16th so I've been driving it for one month. There is a major flaw in one of the safety features which has me really mad. The cross traffic alert is almost non-existent. My last car was a Hyundai Azera and my wife drives a Hyundai Tucson. The cross traffic alert in those cars would provide a tone and an indication on the display showing the direction of the coming vehicle before it was close. They would alert me while I was still on my driveway or if at the store, as soon as I put the car in reverse. The BMW doesn't alert me at all. Supposedly it will alert if an accident is imminent but otherwise there is no warning. I took it back to the dealership and was told that the system is working as intended. Considering there are 100's of choices in the menus, there is only an on/off for this feature and no choice as to sensitivity or nearness. While BMW doesn't consider this a flaw, I certainly do and am totally flummoxed why a $71,000.00 car could be bested by cars costing half as much over such an important safety feature. It is a nice car to drive as pointed out by the reviewer but unless this feature can be improved, I will remain disappointed. Also the run flat tires are not as comfortable as other tire choices. The car comes without a spare, inflator or jack so if you get a flat, you drive on the run flat, then throw it away and spend $$ for a new run flat tire.

So I 'm getting a 2021 bmw X3 x40I in a few months. Along with fewer things that come standard on this car I went with the premium package @ $7,314.00 USD because the other two packages offer less than the premium option. So here is my things I have noticed during my purchase. 1. As you stated in the video some of the things that used to come standard with the vehicle have now become an additional charge. 2. Glad the finally added android app because not everyone uses apple devices. 3. Disappointed those shade screens don't come standard, the key fob I don't like the design it was fine the way it was before. 4. Since it will be at least three months til I take delivery of my vehicle you would think for the money being spent on this car they would at least give me a free loaner car until mines arrive nope the salesman said we have loaners cars starting at 500 usd per months, 1500 dollars ( in which I don't get back) on top of what I have paid for the car is just outrageous. What they should offer to new car buyers is a loaner car either free or at a reduced rate since you are spending a lot of money already for a new vehicle.

Certain features are not standard and BMW makes u buy them cause they want to replicate the same feeling u get when u have an Apple product...as in they make u buy every single extra feature or product and they nickel and dime u to death. Ahhh...that warm and fuzzy feeling.

I appreciate your taking time off to run North Korea to give us this review.

WE’RE ALL GEORGE

16:44 is there anyone actually buying an x5 to go off roading?

X5 is great driving and also great at emptying your wallet. The American dream made in Germany

It's not SUV anymore, it's a big car

It’s funny that my mom just bought this car and we’re driving home

No cooled / ventilated seats?

I am confused between audi q7 and x5

I would say it’s probably time for BMW to redesign this vehicle. It’s a refresh but not much different looking from the 2015 version.

Can’t have a standard feature that’s optional 😀…

im george, we are all george....

George, is that you? Crypto George?

Keep your hands on the wheel bubba. ha.

ONLY 1 USB port and mostly 12V. What year is this? BMW wanna cream you for all the options but even then you can't get the 2020 packages. 4/10

BTC and BMW expert?

BMW X5 is a expensive vehicle. The basic vehicle is 60k with only a few options, with that price you expect you should have more options but since this a BMW X5 you paying for the name back by the performance of the vehicle. Top BMW X5 will run you over 100K easy.

Porsche Cayenne and GLE drive is much better. Like the engine better than the merc though. Just got a 2021 loaner after bringing in Porsche for service. Although I like the infotainment it feels like a toy on the road while the gle and especially the Porsche Cayenne feel like a tank compared to this. Steering on 2021 x5 feels more like a lexus and less like a german vehicle in 2021. Not as much road feel as in the past. Also you do get sunshades but they do not attach very well. They should also be automatic.

BMW X5, Mercedes Benz GLE350 or Volvo XC90?

钱还欠债

I mean if we are talking about standard... is BMW a “standard” car? If you want it buy it .... if you can’t afford the upkeep or extras get a Honda ... simple

I hate the auto steering. I turned that off immediately. Done.

Dbtb

cryptos r us!

Too many electronics. No thanks!

BMW"s used to be cool cars. Since they look like pigs on wheels I could not live with them in my garage.

Looks like crap from the back

I think the Genesis Gv80 look way better.
