The upgrade to 50e, best of all worlds. BMW claims 40 miles EV, seeing 50+ EV real world, over 50mpg in hybrid, & 483 HP when you want it! Easily 0-60 in 4.5 seconds, then back to sleeper mode

I have one on order. My understanding is that the trailer hitch option does away with the foot activated opener in the back. That’s why it wouldn’t open.

How do you like it so far? I got one and tbh I kinda regret getting rid of my 22 M50i for it. I don’t like the huge screen, I don’t like the shifter, I don’t like the day time running lamps looking at it from the front, and I don’t like the grille as it looks so spaced out and open. In all honesty I feel like I would trade it in for the 23 as I usually keep my cars until 90k miles anyway.

@wil4741 2 ай бұрын

You are correct. The trailer hitch removes the sensor. When we ordered our X7 the sales guy let us know in advance it wouldn’t be there.

You’ve answered two questions I had about my 2024 x5. First one was what those little dots were on the moonroof. After watching this video I started my car for the first time at night and got a pleasant surprise and the answer to what those dots were. The second was that I had seen another video which showed the power of the car when driving,but I didn’t know you had to be in sport mode to see that. Had mine a little over a week and am loving the fact every time I get in it I find something new.

You can stay with the M60 and add the small M emblems sold at the dealership to the side fenders. Did that with the M40i by looking up the Euro specifications for placement.

those aren't LEDs in the sunroof - those are etchings in the glass that reflect the LEDs that are on the side projecting inwards. And the reason the kick to open up the back didn't work - is because it isn't installed with the tow hitch.

Hi. Just drove my 2024 M60i on I80 interstate and I must say that the stability is a huge concern. I dropped the speed to 50 mph and exited the interstate as soon as I could. The car wobbles / drifts like you have no control over it. It’s extremely stressful and gives a feeling that I picked the wrong car. I’m open to constructive feedback and suggestions. Thank you.

The reason why the kick to open the trunk didn't work is because of the tow hitch option. It deletes the kick to open capability.

Engineer here MOS 0203 Colonel retired USMC this is gonna be my first luxury car finally BMW nailed it with the M 60 M 50 had some issues but BMW decided in an intelligent way to go with the reliable V8 engine the twin turbo V6 is a disaster. I love the fact that it comes with all wheel drive and I could get a good used one about three years old for around $60,000 versus getting a new one for 100,000 so I’m just going to wait and in 2027 this will ne 4 years old at 60,000 miles and I can get it for under 60,000 This is hands-down the best midsize sports performance SUV in the market . 25 years ago when BMW first released at the X5 it was designed as a sports activity vehicle and it was more like the size of today’s X3 . It is a true luxury mid-sized suv. Since I’m 42 and I’m not 78 like my dad I’m gonna go with this model I always picture people in Mercedes Gle AMG as guys who are my dads age and in retirement. Also at least this isn’t as in your face as the Maserati nothing spells mid -life crisis, than an buying an Italian sports SUV😂The X5 M60i is pushing it as is😂

The big thing you’ll notice from your comp is the ride. The M60 can be a lot more calm and relaxed ride. The M5c is a lot firmer even in comfort mode. I don’t recall seeing puddle lights but I was only with the car during the day sorry

I wrestled with a choice between the BMW and the Mercedes 580 GLE SUV. The 580 won out due to the fact I hate the 2 part rear hatch on the BMW. Talk about "inconvenient". Think of when you have 2 big cases of bottle water and the lower gate flips out towards you. Now you're having to reach over it to slide the heavy water to the back of the rear compartment. The really bad design had to have been the brain child of a man who never goes to the grocery store or Home Depot.
