2020 BMW X5 | Performance, It Will Cost You

We review one of the most popular luxury SUVs, the BMW X5. We discuss the good and bad of the m50i and the 40i along with who this is for and why you would choose it over the Audi, Mercedes and Volvo competition. We talk about the mechanical aspects and the tech that makes this attractive yet expensive option in a sea of options.

Savage geese went Savage in this video. Haven't seen him have so much fun in a car in a long, long time.

LOL I love that "ohhhH!" sound Mark makes during 0-60 pulls

I know this is an "older" video....but the quality of the information provided, while being entertaining....is 2nd to NONE!....thanks guys

I just got this car for my wife and I gotta say it's really an amazing SUV. It's extremely comfortable with a plush drive but still handlesbrilliantly, quality is as good as it gets and in my opinion better than Mercedes and it's blisteringly quick (and this is coming from an M5 driver).

this is freaky, , 15 minutes ago i was thinking "what if savagegeese reviewed the X5'', ,and now this, , im not joking.

[peteraloisio]

I have to say that the quality of production you guys put into your reviews is second to none. I have started watching your vlogs on my new Dell notebook and was blown away with the clarity. Thanks

I would get it with the straight six which is more reliable, and less expensive. It is better than Comparable Mercedes, and still the best in its class. Just remember lease and stay with base straight six.

Reviews of such high quality and fun factor simply make 95% of car reviewers on Youtube redundant. Bravo.

The platform is brilliant. Drivetrain, handling, comfort, tech/infotainment, build quality are all top, top notch in the 'under $100k' bracket. You really get what you pay for at base price. (You have to get at least some options, though, unless you want it to be 40% of the price after 3 years and 30k miles.) But most of the options are very expensive, and if you want all the bells and whistles, then the price becomes absurd.


If you don't particularly enjoy driving, aren't savvy enough to make use of a car that talks to you (on a higher level than cheaper brands), and don't need leather everywhere, you don't need a BMW that starts at $60, 000. But a MODERATELY optioned X5 from 2019/2020 (G generation) definitely earns the price tag compared to a cheaper brand. For example, an X5 with a 50% higher sticker than a Grand Cherokee feels like it's about 50% more car.

I think this review sold me to buy an X5 Xdrive 40i and I couldn’t be happier ❤

[devongee]

"let's launch it..."

"Oh!"


"Let's launch it again..."


"Oh!"

We bought a 2016 X5 brand new, it outperformed any vehicles that my wife and I had previously, American, Japanese, and Korean cars were outshined just how well the X5 was polished. Granted, it's more expensive than the other brands, with BMW, you get what you pay for, we drove it around the country from New York to Florida and California, not a single hiccup and the service people are very friendly and helpful

[dapinkcat]

Dude. You're awesome. I'm single, happy, alone, don't answer questions when i get home, I can take naps, and I'm leaving my 991.2 for this X5M. Your review is so far beyond my auto intellect and really made my decision easy.

[keithdantonio]

I’ve watched a lot of reviews on this vehicle and your review is one of the best ones I’ve seen

[crsantin]

I’ve got a 2019 X5 m sport with the 6 cylinder. I have the interior lighting, sport exhaust, air suspension. It’s a wonderful vehicle...on a lease. There is so much tech in it that I wouldn’t want to maintain and repair it out of warranty. Surprisingly good on gas when you drive normally. I’m really happy with it.

[Revolvermaster]

Long time viewer - this helped me decide on an X5 M50i (2022 model). This vehicle is the complete package: utility, fun, luxury, and looks good (subjective of course). I'm very happy with my first BMW. The difference in driving experience compared to the Ford/GM/Toyota products I have owned is truly in another league.

[bigmixx]

Having never driven/owned a BMW we recently bought an X5 M sport for my wife. I now understand why their slogan is the Ultimate Driving Machine. It’s a wonderful experience to drive. It handles like a car and it is extremely quick. I couldn’t justify the roughly $15k price difference for the v8 so went with the inline 6 and it’s more than enough. Only downside is the long term maintenance if you decide to buy it vs leasing it which is what we did.

[ostreds]

Buy it in 2022 for about $50k with about 25, 000 miles on it.

[devarcooper]

I own this vehicle and I absolutely love it V8, Driving assist pro, I can get 26 miles per Gallon on ECO mode . Big negative is the price point lol 😂
