2019 BMW X5 Review - Traffic Jam Dream Machine

We go for a drive in the 2019 BMW X5

Our reviews give you two perspectives. Jakub takes the perspective of the car enthusiast, while Yuri represents the interests of the general consumer. You won't find details about engine compression ratios here, instead you'll have real world opinions on what it's like to drive and own cars.

What do you think about the BMW X5? Would you buy it over a Cayenne? Too much tech? Just enough tech?

Yuri be like
Wheels: *I sleep*
Exhaust: *I sleep*
Gear shifter reflects rainbows: "oh realshit"

Real world at 18:30. Jake going off like a normal human when overwhelmed with tech.

Jakub's first freakout - it's about time buddy!!

[elliottmanning]

I'm with Yuri on this. The X5 is a gigantic toy, and I love it. In today's age, even the most simplest infotainment system requires a day or two of just sitting in the car playing around with buttons to learn stuff. I do worry about all of the old people who actually can afford a X5 who would definitely struggle with this.

Some amazing visual details on this review: the shot of the instrument cluster transition to a shot of the car @0:28, top down shots of the parking assist. This was a great review. Great job guys!

[parvathimudundi]

Yuri: what does 40i mean?
Jakub: that means it's not as fast as the 50i.

SAVAGE

[AltaSonata]

Watched the whole thing - including 5 adds. I'm making you tons of money

[vpolestar]

Thank you BMW for keeping the inline 6 alive. V6 can’t duplicate how smooth the inline 6 is

[chrisgnay]

I was about to do the contest until they said only in Canada. I unfollowed and unsubscribed 🤷🏼‍♂️

Jk I’m staying subscribed.

[madjanx]

They put in massaging seats because they knew the occupants would get stressed out by the tech.

[spwstrat]

I'm with Jakub on this one. Feels like the technology really isn't there yet to have this level of integration. That pause between saying your request and the car responding would drive me crazy. Also, not having Android Auto at this point is unforgivable. That interior looks amazing, but it's not worth it if it's not usable.

[rickmcintosh]

Who goes around looking for traffic? Thank you for your sacrifice 😂

[knusperhirsch]

Watched tons of X5 reviews but this is BY FAR the best! I just love your reviews :D

[andrewlee]

great move with the contest idea and contest criteria. love your vids guys, very patiently awaiting the Elantra GT N-Line review!!!

[evnejg]

Damn, these reviews just keep getting better and better.
I love the technology, that stop in go traffic feature is a complete necessity if you deal with traffic on a daily basis, would immediately improve the lives of many of my fellow soul searching commuters. This X5 is nice but I want the PHEV system personally.
Review the 2020 X3 PHEV soon?

[RChyshkevych]

The tech rant was priceless. Cars have so many features which lots of people do not use

[SubToTripleThreatRC]

Got the exact same model in a 2020 and love it. Yuri is right, once you get the hang of the tech it is a blast.
Great review, thumbs up!

[mikewazowski]

I'm loving the use of Synthwave music for the intro video as always, keep up the good work and congrats on the jump in subs.

[stephenmoss]

Nice review! I absolutely love the rage out over all of technology crap in these things. The parking and traffic jam features would be great in city and rush hour.
