Car Tech: 2012 BMW X5 xDrive35i

With a new X5 on the way, should you wait to buy BMW's big SUV?

I'm only watching these reviews because this guy is an awesome reviewer! Straightforward, no BS.

LOL at the end "Yeah parts and service are really high on these damn things."

Guy with a 335 and an x5 35i here. Tune your x5 and it'll feel like the 335 but heavier. Stock it feels a bit slow specially with the shifts even though they both have the 8 speed.

if you are going for the 35i just go for the diesel, its cheaper to run and sounds better.

"Amazing light hood, must be plastic". Erm, Brian, this is a premium German car, not American. The hood is made of Aluminium

[Kidjerkable]

"Now what is hood made of..hmm" *metal clang* "must be plastic." Its called aluminum...

Best part of the video at 5:04. It's the "reality check" most BMW owners get (I was, twice). Especially when that damn "check engine" light flashes.

BMW doesn't sell cars they sell packages! Nice review I love this guy!

The car tech Optima EX and SX reviews are already up.

Our manual says our SAV 3.0 gas 2013 is 4900 lbs. No 3rd row either. O-60 is rated 6.7 seconds on other sites and it feels like that to me.

The 3 liter turbo from BMW is a great engine.

[brucec]

"it feels tippy". Ever drive, oh, any other SUV besides Porsche?

[RamyWarda]

That's what I was thinking! They look identical.

[johnjahanshahi]

theres a front facing camera thats standard...


its called a windscreen

[biturboism]

WTF? I think I've found the only quality car reviewer in USA! SWEET

[edersiomoran]

Most new cars today have hoods and decklids made of aluminium, not just the europeans. They all got MPG standards to meet.

[arashn]

it depends.... I bought a Mercedes Gl320 because it was 10 grand less than the v8 and 30% more fuel efficient.

[Tyrone]

You get a BMW for the looks not to save on fuel :P

[wvu]

He's referring to when the rear entertainment system isn't in use, it's folded in a way that blocks front seat occupants from using the full arm rest.
