I Live my X5

My new X5 is five star. The safety features are fantastic and the vehicle has plenty of power. I love the interior room and the vehicle is very comfortable. Great Job BMW.

This is our 4th X5 and this is our favorite one!

Lots of extras, from heated and air conditioned seats to driving assist! The new technology update brings the digital world to your fingertips. Including voice activated requests with the new BMW assistant.

Great car with critical flaws

This car is a great highway cruiser – quiet and stable – especially w/ the air suspension and acoustic windows. Love the car but 3 major flaws: 1) Wireless CarPay sucks! The wireless connection is finicky. We have 4 iphone users in the household who use this car but the X5 only connects w/ 2 of the iphones. The other 2 iphones would only connect on initial device setup, but doesn’t recognize the iphone on subsequent uses. We never have issues w/ our WIRED carplay setup – wish BMW would have a wired option similar to Audi. 2) Lack of rear leg room – for the size of the car, there very little rear legroom. Competitors seem to have 2x as much space for the same exterior length. This makes it challenging as a family transport 3) Quirky BMW over engineered technology. In addition to the wireless carplay issue, there are a host of random quirks, e.g. you can open the tailgate w/ the driver’s door button and keyfob, but you can’t close it, the mobile apps rarely works, etc. I also hope this one will be reliable as we plan to keep it long term.

2020 BMW X5 M50i

I’ve only had the car for 2 days, but I’m really pleased with it. Power is fantastic. Ride and feel while driving is a step up from my 2018 X5. Interior design is great too.

Third and best X5 I’ve owned!

I chose to purchase the six cylinder version of this X5 with an M sport trim level. This car is packed with so much technology is staggering, Yet easy to use. The balance between performance and fuel economy is perfect. The interior is well appointed and everything is tight.

The most powerful car I've ever owned!

This 2020 BMW x5 M50i is absolutely breathtaking! The performance, intuitive features, and comfort makes it worth every penny! BMW has surpassed every SUV in the industry with its new design, performance and comfort. I am a female over the age of 68 and I truly love driving this car!
