    As an owner of an older X5, the air suspension requires replacement at about the 6th or 7th year of ownership. Expensive to replace. I would go without it next time. Great review by the way as usual. You guys are the best reviewers on the net!!!

    Ive had the ‘24 50e for a year and it has been to the dealership 7 times this year. All issues with the screen (would go blank and not turn back on when the temp dipped below 20 degrees, couldn’t use climate control) and after the 5th time they finally replaced the entire display. Now back in the dealership with 3 other separate issues, all of which need to be replaced. I’m told this is a unique experience, hopefully they worked out some of the kinks for ‘25. It’s a shame because I love the way it drives and enjoy saving money on gas with the plugin hybrid but might be trading in for a regular gas x5. Also wish they kept the climate controls out of the screen and as actual buttons.

    I bought a 24 X5 x40i largely based on your previous review and of course, my own research, and I completely agree with your comments. It strikes a great balance between luxury, performance, and utility. The power train is remarkably refined, yet certainly responsive for a vehicle of this size. I also agree with your airball, as the screen controls for climate are tedious to use, although I'm starting to rely on voice control more which helps. My other big annoyance is the lack of shoulder belt height adjustment for the front passengers. For those of us vertically challenged, the belts become uncomfortable after a long trip. Another is the lack of remote rear seat releases from the tailgate, which is shameless cost cutting for a vehicle at this price point. Otherwise, loving my X5 after 5 months of completely trouble free miles. I'm hoping to beat your predication of average reliability, but we shall see. BTW...great to see your content continue to expand and mature. You guys continue to be all about providing meaningful value to your subscribers.

    I think the X5 may be the best all-rounder of the two row lux class. STANDARD B58 I-6 power over pesky 4cyls, plus offering hybrid, and TWO V8s. Cant hate them for offering choices for sure.
    But am I the only one that loathes the pulsating turn signals?? Frustrates me! LOL! Same as the Mazdas but at least those are amber rears.
    Mason and Drew: I also think that BMW has some of the best faux-leather in the business, but I'm curious on how does it dissipate heat. Some of the pleathers hold summer heat way worse than real leather, even when perforated and ventilated.

    I'll be waiting patiently for that automated lane change with a look to cause its first accident. What a ridiculous and unnecessary system that adds additional cost and additional safety risk to those around the driver. BMW has really started to move backwards, both in their design elements, and in the technology they're including to hop on whatever trend is next. I saw those front turn signals the other day and I'll be happy to stick with a previous generation X5 for that alone, not to mention that it still has buttons for pretty much all of the functions, and doesn't have that heinous looking super-ultrawide monitor (with absolutely hideous thick bezels, what year is it, 2006?) for a gauge cluster.
    I also don't care for the little toggle joystick shifter. Even the push-button one Honda has is better looking for me personally. Great review as always though, just a shame to see BMW join the fray of car manufacturers forgetting who they make cars for and wasting precious resources on this kind of garbage.

So if vehicle A will hold 8 and vehicle B will hold 10, obviously vehicle B has a larger compartment.
