I own one of these, after having owned the previous generation too. Amazing suv probably second only to the Cayenne Turbo GT. I hate to say it, but I don’t think you ever took it off comfort settings. At least on the screen that’s what it’s showing. When you move it to M1 or M2 the M setting dash that you have on the screen highlights in red what the settings are for engine, chassis, suspension, etc. It seems like you have it always in comfort. Also the reason why you didn’t feel a difference in the transmission settings was because you didn’t hit the gas. In the top setting, the transmission is MUCH faster and aggressive albeit not as much as previous gen.

Great vehicle, very good at what it does. My mom has an X5 40i and it’s fantastic. You do some of the luxury features (cooled seats, massage seats, better ride) when you step up to the true M-cars for the sake of performance. I think the M50i is the sweet spot - $92k with pretty much every option, still does 0-60 under 4 sec.

I would never have a pet in this car. Even with a blanket!!!!

The 1,2,3 transmission is for aggressiveness of gear change. If you're not driving aggressive you won't notice the change so much. It doesn't delay gear change. It's kicks it in more violently

Love the interior and the power.

Hey Ben, nice review ! Cant think of a better family suv for a future dad ! :)

What color is this looks great ? Thanks

This >>> Trackhawk

YES ... YES IT IS!

Love it

what colour is this?

BMW built awesome family vehicle's I like that

It’s amazing suv but I still prefer the x6m ;)

What color is it? You said it's the most beautiful grey you've ever seen on a car... but never mentioned which grey it is. BMW offers like 4 or 5 different greys...

You review an X5 M Competition model and you only review the car’s performance in the last few minutes of your video?

Coolest BMW!!! Love the interior 🔥

What's the monthly note and apr like on one of these

Is it TRX FAST?

What’s is it with kids and putting there feet on the back of the seats lol

Without a DCT, all the new M cars transmissions only shift at higher RPM's when you change the settings, no more choosing a harsher shove. Boo!

First

The Taxi version of German SUV’s yea they’re really good at making you look like a Dodge driver. I can’t think of a better waste of money than buying anything from the #4 automaker in Germany.

Nah, Porsche Cayenne Turbo
