I just purchased a 2024 X5. No sun glasses holder. I hate the ac control being in the screen but over all we love the car. Drove from Seattle to Reno and back 28 mpg. Now have 1800 miles on the car. Love the engine. Powerful.

No bring back buttons. Whats luxury about a screen?

I agree with all the zonks. I have a 2025 X5 50e model. Yes the criticism about controlling the ac/heat thru the display is cumbersome and distracting. However the ease at telling the personal assistant you are warm or cold is awesome. You can also voice control the seat heating/ventilation.

Have the 22 X545e, the older infotainment was the best, hate the all screen stretched screen thing g on the newer ones. Absolutely love it, 25K zero trouble miles with 45MPG real world! 1000 mile trip are a breeze.

I have BMW x5 50e which is pretty similar, it is all around a great car, sporty, luxurious and practical.

Unless you have get a plug-in hybrid this is the one to buy. I hate admit it but it is really a pretty good value too, given current market pricing. Styling is better than some competitors.

I like the X5 but they made it difficult to control the air conditioning, heater and defroster which is a big zonk!

sDrive is RWD. Purple cabling under the hood is for the mild hybrid 48v system.

I have a 2024 40i and love the way it drives and the seats are pretty comfortable. I actually like the front end, especially with the matte black grille I have. I thought it would take me a while to get used to the interior screen, but love it! The car is pretty quick too!

[gerry]

Been around forever plus they’re everywhere but it’s still a great looking SUV 👍

[exploringfuture]

BMW X5 is similar or even cheaper than many SUV's now days....

Last year I needed more space for my daily routine, so I swapped my 2021 M550i for a 2024 X5 50e.
Such a great platform especially with the standard air suspension on both axles of the X5.
My wife’s Q5 lease was up this year in May, and we decided to go with the 2024 Rx350…
I’ll tell you what for 95% of drivers the RX is all the car they will ever need. Luxurious and comfortable with an easy to use to interface.
For me however, a 4cyl was a no-go. I’m enjoying my 489 hp and 515 lb/ft of torque from the B58 and 25kw/h battery pack which yields 40-50 miles depending on outside temperature. I am sold on BMW for life!

[Thebusdriverandgamermorefan]

Yes of course Joe & I want to drive this badly.

[suzanneflowers]

The whole thing is so well thought out. Love the interior colors and wood, too.

[CarGeek]

My dad ordered one of these about a week ago, it should be coming some time in October, M Sport/M Sport Pro Pkgs are def a MUST HAVE if you’re getting a new X5, imo the X5 and Cayenne are the best in the segment although the Cayenne does get pricy

[suzanneflowers]

Love the wheels, engine, and towing capacity. All this makes for great versatility.

[alanklaus]

Hate to say but 66k sounds very reasonable with the I6. I think the front black slab would look better body color. No direct ac control would be annoying. Otherwise like it. Just leave the wood alone Joe.

[john]

I have seen a few of these X5 models on the road recently and I noticed the LED turn signals have a pulsing animation when they flash, similar to what Mazda is doing on their newer models. It looks pretty cool, although I am not a fan of the all red turn signals in the rear as having amber signals is statically safer than red ones.

Raiti’s comes again with another one keep it coming all the love goes to u and family ❤❤
