As an owner of an older X5, the air suspension requires replacement at about the 6th or 7th year of ownership. Expensive to replace. I would go without it next time. Great review by the way as usual. You guys are the best reviewers on the net!!!

I bought a 24 X5 x40i largely based on your previous review and of course, my own research, and I completely agree with your comments. It strikes a great balance between luxury, performance, and utility. The power train is remarkably refined, yet certainly responsive for a vehicle of this size. I also agree with your airball, as the screen controls for climate are tedious to use, although I'm starting to rely on voice control more which helps. My other big annoyance is the lack of shoulder belt height adjustment for the front passengers. For those of us vertically challenged, the belts become uncomfortable after a long trip. Another is the lack of remote rear seat releases from the tailgate, which is shameless cost cutting for a vehicle at this price point. Otherwise, loving my X5 after 5 months of completely trouble free miles. I'm hoping to beat your predication of average reliability, but we shall see. BTW...great to see your content continue to expand and mature. You guys continue to be all about providing meaningful value to your subscribers.

I think the X5 may be the best all-rounder of the two row lux class. STANDARD B58 I-6 power over pesky 4cyls, plus offering hybrid, and TWO V8s. Cant hate them for offering choices for sure. But am I the only one that loathes the pulsating turn signals?? Frustrates me! LOL! Same as the Mazdas but at least those are amber rears. Mason and Drew: I also think that BMW has some of the best faux-leather in the business, but I'm curious on how does it dissipate heat. Some of the pleathers hold summer heat way worse than real leather, even when perforated and ventilated.

I'll be waiting patiently for that automated lane change with a look to cause its first accident. What a ridiculous and unnecessary system that adds additional cost and additional safety risk to those around the driver. BMW has really started to move backwards, both in their design elements, and in the technology they're including to hop on whatever trend is next. I saw those front turn signals the other day and I'll be happy to stick with a previous generation X5 for that alone, not to mention that it still has buttons for pretty much all of the functions, and doesn't have that heinous looking super-ultrawide monitor (with absolutely hideous thick bezels, what year is it, 2006?) for a gauge cluster. I also don't care for the little toggle joystick shifter. Even the push-button one Honda has is better looking for me personally. Great review as always though, just a shame to see BMW join the fray of car manufacturers forgetting who they make cars for and wasting precious resources on this kind of garbage.

Well we have a Cayenne, and one of our family members have a Q7. I will say the inside feels much different, and we don’t notice a lot of VW stuff, except for the turn signal stalks which are designed a little differently, and the lock chime. The Q7 has a lot of cheap piano black and is full of screens, while the Cayenne still keeps physical climate controls. Imo it doesn’t feel like a Q7 much at all. However price is a heavy take in, but we looked at the X5. The X5 was priced at 90k for a fully loaded model, while the Cayenne was a 105k for a model we exactly wanted. We paid the extra 15k because it felt much worth it in materials and such, also we liked how Porsche gave us more buttons and a nicely integrated screen. However, we also went with Cayenne cause we have past bad BMW experience, so we wanted to try something new. Also people have said Cayenne reliability is better than most German SUVs, but we will see how it holds up. Mercedes is an absolutely joke, the quality is actually so bad. The only brands that still are somewhat holding up is bmw and Porsche. Audi is even lacking, they couldn’t even redesign the Q7.

Q7 and GLE can’t compare to X5 or Cayenne, the X5 and Cayenne are way better although the Cayenne is priced as such where as the X5 isn’t, only “downfall” to the X5 is a relatively tight 2nd row for the size class which I can live with

@@drgvrp_dashcam the Q7 and GLE are a joke, I would recommend looking at the X5, Q8, Range Rover Sport, and Cayenne, (in this segment) then choosing the one that fits you the best

@@CarGeek360 yeah, and for us the Cayenne came with more rear seat amenities, like sliding and reclining seats. When we talked to the sales guy of the X5 he said you can’t do any of that, and it also drove really rough compared to the Cayenne. I was very shocked the X5 rode very rough, I suspect it could be because of the run flat tires.

@@CarGeek360 we also considered the sport, however we didn’t like it too much because of the enormous size, and the boat like feel. The X5 and Cayenne were both no brainers, however we preferred the Cayenne more

It's more durable than leather and the smarter choice if you have kids or pets.

I have a 2022 X5 with leather seats, and the driver's seat leather is starting to look pretty worn. I recently drove a loaner BMW with the new sensafin upholstery, and it looked and felt great. It probably holds up way better than actual leather. It seemed much more durable.
