First time BMW owner and all the buttons/functions/features are a bit overwhelming lol. I must say this is a vehicle I never knew I needed. Thank you for this video cause it helped a lot🙂👍🏼
Just brought home my new X5 yesterday. Your video was very helpful. Much more information than the salesman. I now know how to do many more things than when I left the dealership.
FYI. If you put your X5 into reverse, you can have the passenger side mirror tilt downwards by moving the left-right switch. This will give a better view of the curb so you don't scrape your wheels when trying to park.
Unfortunately not, iDrive 7 is on it's way out since iDrive 8 rolled in, but a lot of my hidden tips and tricks series goes through the key things you need to know in the system!
How do I find your other videos that you mentioned? Just picked up a new 2023 X5 lease and even though it’s not my first your video taught me a lot. Great work.
Thanks, great review all around. Best review ever of the power seats!! I think the only thing you could have added was the steering wheel adjustments. They are pretty simple, but, fantastic.
Great review! Would love to see an in-depth review of iDrive 7. From what I have seen, I think I much prefer iDrive 7 to iDrive 8, mainly because I like the physical buttons for climate control. Keep up the great work!!!
Thanks Phil! Would love to do one on idrive 7, I know I have one for 8 but never got to do one for the 7 yet. Agreed 7 is more simple to use. The only good side with iDrive eight is that voice command works really well with it But yes, having the physical buttons is always a plus thanks for the feedback subscribe for the next one if you haven’t already!
I think another great video would be showing cool features on setting up the wizards that would be helpful. I am kind of afraid of setting up my wizards. I don’t know what would be more useful. Love all your videos!
I have one of the Drivers Assist Professional but doesn't go over the SET function, I did encounter another customer having the same issue. It's a odd system but one thing I would try is to hold the accelerator while pressing set at the same time to see if that helps.

I’ve been thinking of trading up from my 2023 top spec Mazda CX5 turbo to an X5 but I’m not really sure what I would be gaining because my CX5 has almost all of these features and drives really well. I can see the BMW exterior paint finish is way better, and an X5 will impress the neighbours more 😂 But for an extra $100,000 I’m not sure it’s worth it. A negative for we right hand drive countries is the BMW indicator stalk is on the wrong side. Would get use to it I suppose but it’s not very convenient.
Good point, I can agree features wise many brands can be comparable these days. The biggest difference you'll feel would be with the driving feel. Once you get use to it, it's very hard to switch back into another brand. BMWs also got ranked 2 years in a row for being one of the top 3 car brands, so im sure there should be other reasons why it should be taken into consideration!
Thank you for your video it was very helpful. I just bought my first BMW 2021 x5 XDRIVE401. Very cool automobile-loving it. Can I change the tires to regular tires?
should I bother with the giant wheels? arent smaller wheels more comfortable? I feel like this is a situation where I have to choose between looks vs comfort
Correct. I do not notice too much of a difference in ride quality. I would be more concerned with how your roads are. If you get the big rims, one nice pothole and it's more likely to get bent. I personally love the look of bigger wheels, also watch out because some of the bigger wheels make only come with Performance / Summer tires, these you cannot drive in the winter.
What color is the X5 you have in the video? By the way, I found your channel from a suggestion by RUclips only to be blown away when I found you were doing the videos in Sudbury. I live in Sudbury. You do a fantastic job at presenting all the information. I am doing all my research in preperation of buying an X5.
Hey Scott! I'd like to say it's a small world but the channel is doing quite well! Yes I actually work there part time as a genius and went full time growing the channel as I see more long term potential with it. Congrats on being in the market for the X5, you're going to fall in love with it. If you end up purchasing it with us let me know, would love to help do your delivery when you come in to pick it up.
Yes there is a way to do that, try going into the parking assistance menu. To get there you should see a button of a P with a cone near the gear shifter. You go into that, a screen will pop up showing you the radar system, then you should see settings near the corner of the screen, there you should see a option to adjust the beeping sound.
I personally would save these stations as "presets" not favorites. Sirius can only favorite sirius stations but with presets you can mix and match fm, am, and sirius too. It's much easier to save them that way.
I prefer this version of X5 than the current one whereas they are copying MB's style of center console/dash and removed the physical buttons of the climate control. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching. Yes it took some time getting use to the curved display interface. I personally use the voice commands for the features of the car now, and I do like how the new one has a search box for settings.
Hey Peter. The X5s do not have a snow mode. You could drive it eco pro mode to start off slower with more traction but aside from that is it. I would only recommend turning off stability control if you are STUCK in snow it will spin the wheels more which is used to build momentum to get out the snow you’re stuck in. The x5 is already one of the best vehicles for those conditions. My recommendation if you wanted more grip, etc. I would invest in winter tires if you haven’t already. I couldn’t think of any other vehicle or suv that would be more suitable with a setup like that!
Awesome review - more thorough than the BMW Genius that provided a tutorial at my delivery. When I shift from park to reverse or to drive the car makes a sound signifying a shift in the gear, however, when I press the park button it remains silent. Any way to activate a sound? Would be helpful to confirm that I shifted into park (versus having to look at the instrument cluster).
Hey Brian, thanks for the compliment! I try to be as detailed as I can on here =) There is not a setting in the car that will alert you when going into park. My guess would be mainly that going into park is a safer bet. Compared to going into reverse or drive, since that could be more dangerous had you not known it was in those gears. Instrument cluster is going to be your best bet, you can press the BC button a few times till you see a bigger view of what gear you're in, you can also view below near the shifter itself and the green light will indicate what gear you're in there as well. Cool trick if you don't already know but if you were in reverse or drive, you can simply turn off the car and it will auto-shift into park. This will not work for neutral though!
@@BeamerView damn didn't work. Spent two hours without success. I would like to add that I didn't face with from towards garage if that could be a case. Tried garage door remote opener and also pressing programing in the garage unit still nothing. All other cars program without single issue but this one X5 2023 having issues. I have "genie excelerator 2 revolution series model 4062"
Just bought my X5 yesterday and spent a long frustrating time last night trying to follow the directions in the owners manual for linking that universal remote to my garage door. I could never get them linked.
@@minis7782 It most defnietly should. Near the Hazards button there should be another button that looks like a car with a green/orange circle around that. Go in there. Then go into CONFIGURE INDIVIDUAL. In that you should see all your safety settings. Active blindspot should be one of the last ones there. Keep note that its a very intuitive system. Obviously make sure it's enabled. It works best on the highway, you have to be going more than 40mph for it to work. It also takes into account the speed that you're going and the speed of the blind spot vehicle to determine whether or not it should warn you. Hope this helps!
@@minis7782 I personally have yet to see a 2023 without this feature. That is very odd. one last check I would recommend doing Is to look at your side mirrors if there are empty triangles in them these are what light up whenever somebody is inside your Blindspot. Check to see if these are there if they do the more likely than that your vehicle should have this feature.
Not sure, usually when we see cars that are in this state the best option is to put the car on rollers and do it that way. Previous X5s did have a switch located beneath the cupholders.
It has self parking if the x5 has the parking assistance plus package. If you mean remote parking such as by using the MY BMW APP, that was a feature introduced to the 2024+ X5s.
Have tried to stow the storage shade in the under floor area near the spare tire, won’t fit. Dealer didn’t know about it either and can’t figure it out. It is a nice idea if it works.
It should work for the X5, one thing you could try doing is removing the side compartment door that might be blocking it, and then try to lay it down flat from the left to the right. That or try flipping the shade backwards to see if that does the trick .
@@BeamerView several technicians at my dealership tried and tried for about 45 minutes, we finally gave up. In the year that I’ve owned the X5, I’ve needed to remove the shade just two or three times, so it hasn’t been a big deal obviously. But it would be nice if it worked
When you slide the shifter over to the left into sport and shit manually will it still shift on its own near red line? Thanks for the info👍🏻loving my new X5🏁
Love this! I have the plug in and literally didn't know how to buy gas for it. :) Can you tell me which ipad adaptor for the back headrests? Thank you!

Hi, great job! Is it possible that you do a comparison of air suspension and adaptive m on X5 ? I know it will be subjective but still would like to know your opinion
Sure, if you want my immediate feed back. I LOVE the adaptive m suspension. I've felt it in multiple vehicles and it makes the BMWs GLIDE over the road/potholes. The air suspension is nice, but it's more so used at slower speeds, once you go past 15-20 MPH it adjusts back to the original height, and in terms of drive feel, I did not notice much difference over the stock setup.
Could be software, try doing a idrive reboot. Turn on the vehicle, keep the engine on and running, then hold down the radio volume knob until the screen goes black, should take about 30 secs, and then wait for it to boot back up.
@@BeamerView on my phone or in the vehicle? Because I know for sure my phone is synced because my music plays. And on my phone it tells me the car is okay.
You would have to turn the switch off on the headlight control buttons that are located near your knee. If you mean to turn off the day time running lights, I would go into the settings and go to exterior lighting and see if there is an option there.
I have a 2016 x5 that I’m still trying to figure out. I went to the gas station the other day, locked my doors and tried to open the fuel door. It wouldn’t open. I drove home and it opened. Went back to the station and it wouldn’t open. Finally, I used the emergency latch. But now I know that it was all because the doors were locked 😂
I would imagine they would be getting rid of those. I have used them before, and honestly they are not that great. Every X5 and X7 comes with the adaptor slow behind the front seats to mount iPads and other necessities, that has been more useful to the majority.
The one minor issue I have with my 2022 X5 is that the back seat is a little tight and the rearseats don't recline. Hope this fix these issues in their upcoming redesign.
Hey Manish, thanks for reaching out. There isn't a specific sunglass holder per say, but there is a compartment on the lower left side right beside your knee where object such as sunglasses would go into.
@@BeamerView Thanks. Recently picked up a X5 45e a month ago and I already found 3 quality issue. 1. Rear bumper not fitted properly, it has some gap in the middle through which I can see the metal hardware behind it. 2. Front passenger side door has panel gap from interior. 3. Fabric on driver side B pillar interior trim is defective. Any advice?
Thanks for making such a great content. My 2022 x5 is a nightmare with its front breaks and steering rack squeaking and squealing after 4-5 months of ownership. Even if the vehicle is stationary, and on neutral, when you initiate a full-steering lock on either direction, you will hear some cranking noises as if you are driving a 40 years old car. If you tried to park it on a 45° angle slope, the noises from the front ends is so loud that you will attract the whole attention of the city with people steering at your car with the look "what a junk"". Am so so disappointed with my €116,000 car to be making such noises. I made the decision to buy, the X5 because of all this nice and fancy youtube video (no disrespect to the content provided) but am sure the content creator are dealing with brand new car and not a bmw x5 that are 5-6 months old with milage of 5,000km-8,000KM, then the video would be different The car drives great with comfort but if you wanted to buy a car that caused embarrassment when you tried to park or coming to slow stop, then the x5 is not to be considered. The dealership kept giving all those sort of excuses telling me to apply more pressure on my brakes or tried emergency braking on the highway maybe that will get ride of the noises. I bought my car to enjoy but not to get muscles cramps from apply 100% pressure on my brakes. No matter what you do, the steering rack and sport brake are squeaking like a 1860 truck. The more time past the louder the squeaking get. As of today, 26 Sept 2022, my dealing now come with the BF to inform me that the warranty doesn't cover brake rotor exchange.... New buyer/s please don't make the same mistake as I do, and now am living with such a squeaking suv and am even ashamed to drive my car into public places because of that. So I suggest you stay away from buying this misleading X5 until BMW engineers fix their front suspension and sport brakes. If you wanted to make the decision to buy an x5 then you must request your dealership to give you an x5 that have between 5,000 - -8,000KM for test drive and try to park it on 45° angle slope, do full steering lock and put vehicle on reverse of drive then you will hear all of this. For the content creator, thanks for such a great content but if you have an idea or a fix of this X5 front suspension and brake squeaking, please let me know.
Hey Hector. Sorry to hear you’re dealing with that. It’s very rare to hear such cases and it’s not nice that the dealer is not taking care of it. The dealer that I’m at has always been very fair with issues with new cars. I would try other dealers if you haven’t already. If it’s that new BMW should have their own warranty that should cover any mishaps like that. I don’t know of fixes nor have have heard of those on a brand new car. But would highly recommend other BMW dealers.
@@BeamerView I see where you were going with the “too” bit, “to” is where you are going eg. going to the shops and “too” is where something is more eg. I have eaten too much food. I know you know that but just an explanation for those who might not, either way it is still spoken the same way it’s the context of the sentence that determines the spelling. I understand the hit thing. Sorry if I’m coming across as a pain, I really don’t mean to and no offence is meant, I’m just a big fan of the English language. Keep up the great content my friend. 👍👍👍

Put it in sport+, turn off traction control and slide the shifter to the left for manual mode. Hold brake and gas then let go…..4 seconds to 60.
FYI. If you put your X5 into reverse, you can have the passenger side mirror tilt downwards by moving the left-right switch. This will give a better view of the curb so you don't scrape your wheels when trying to park.
Correct! All BMW's actually can do this, many do not know about it though!
That is a good tip especially when the gals are parking the car

Hi, great job! Is it possible that you do a comparison of air suspension and adaptive m on X5 ? I know it will be subjective but still would like to know your opinion
Sure, if you want my immediate feed back. I LOVE the adaptive m suspension. I've felt it in multiple vehicles and it makes the BMWs GLIDE over the road/potholes. The air suspension is nice, but it's more so used at slower speeds, once you go past 15-20 MPH it adjusts back to the original height, and in terms of drive feel, I did not notice much difference over the stock setup.
@@BeamerView Many thanks, really appreciate your comment.
I have a problem with my touch screen could it possibly be I can't make an update thank you
Could be software, try doing a idrive reboot. Turn on the vehicle, keep the engine on and running, then hold down the radio volume knob until the screen goes black, should take about 30 secs, and then wait for it to boot back up.
Well noted with much respect
Ty!
How do I get the weather app?
Try making sure you are signed into your profile or BMW ID.
@@BeamerView on my phone or in the vehicle? Because I know for sure my phone is synced because my music plays. And on my phone it tells me the car is okay.
Super helpful!
Glad you think so! Reach out if you have questions!
Does anyone know how to turn the headlights off while the engine is running?
You would have to turn the switch off on the headlight control buttons that are located near your knee. If you mean to turn off the day time running lights, I would go into the settings and go to exterior lighting and see if there is an option there.
The only fuel I put in mine is 93. Maybe because of all the hp it has. 0-60 in 3.4 with a dähler chip tune.
Yup 93 all the way!
How can I make the sunroof and windows auto close when I exit the vehicle?
You can hold down the lock button on the key fob.
More pls❤
You got it!
I have a 2016 x5 that I’m still trying to figure out.
I went to the gas station the other day, locked my doors and tried to open the fuel door. It wouldn’t open.
I drove home and it opened. Went back to the station and it wouldn’t open. Finally, I used the emergency latch. But now I know that it was all because the doors were locked 😂
Haha, yeah one would not think the gas door would be considered a door as well =)
@ BeamerView:
I’ve heard that BMW is no longer offering the rear infotainment system in the X5. Is this true, or just a rumor?
I would imagine they would be getting rid of those. I have used them before, and honestly they are not that great. Every X5 and X7 comes with the adaptor slow behind the front seats to mount iPads and other necessities, that has been more useful to the majority.
@@BeamerViewwhere can I find the adaptor to hold iPad? I don’t see it on the BMW website
@@genesisjohnson9210 check Amazon
The one minor issue I have with my 2022 X5 is that the back seat is a little tight and the rearseats don't recline. Hope this fix these issues in their upcoming redesign.
The middle seats can recline just a little bit, if your X5 does have a 3rd row, yes it’s very tight back there and basically just meant for kids.

Where is the sunglass holder?
Hey Manish, thanks for reaching out. There isn't a specific sunglass holder per say, but there is a compartment on the lower left side right beside your knee where object such as sunglasses would go into.
@@BeamerView Thanks. Recently picked up a X5 45e a month ago and I already found 3 quality issue.
1. Rear bumper not fitted properly, it has some gap in the middle through which I can see the metal hardware behind it.
2. Front passenger side door has panel gap from interior.
3. Fabric on driver side B pillar interior trim is defective.
Any advice?
Ha Shell gas, probably the most expensive here in So Calif! No thanks we'll be putting in Sam's premium at almost $1 gal cheaper..:)
Agreed shell gas is not cheap at all. It’s good but only good if you’re going to pushing your vehicle hard :)
“Simply”
New drinking game!
Yes do drive 7 please.
Sounds good!
Did you say the color of the vehicle 🤔
Phytonic Blue =)
Thanks for making such a great content.
My 2022 x5 is a nightmare with its front breaks and steering rack squeaking and squealing after 4-5 months of ownership. Even if the vehicle is stationary, and on neutral, when you initiate a full-steering lock on either direction, you will hear some cranking noises as if you are driving a 40 years old car.
If you tried to park it on a 45° angle slope, the noises from the front ends is so loud that you will attract the whole attention of the city with people steering at your car with the look "what a junk"". Am so so disappointed with my €116,000 car to be making such noises.
I made the decision to buy, the X5 because of all this nice and fancy youtube video (no disrespect to the content provided) but am sure the content creator are dealing with brand new car and not a bmw x5 that are 5-6 months old with milage of 5,000km-8,000KM, then the video would be different
The car drives great with comfort but if you wanted to buy a car that caused embarrassment when you tried to park or coming to slow stop, then the x5 is not to be considered.
The dealership kept giving all those sort of excuses telling me to apply more pressure on my brakes or tried emergency braking on the highway maybe that will get ride of the noises. I bought my car to enjoy but not to get muscles cramps from apply 100% pressure on my brakes. No matter what you do, the steering rack and sport brake are squeaking like a 1860 truck. The more time past the louder the squeaking get. As of today, 26 Sept 2022, my dealing now come with the BF to inform me that the warranty doesn't cover brake rotor exchange....
New buyer/s please don't make the same mistake as I do, and now am living with such a squeaking suv and am even ashamed to drive my car into public places because of that. So I suggest you stay away from buying this misleading X5 until BMW engineers fix their front suspension and sport brakes.
If you wanted to make the decision to buy an x5 then you must request your dealership to give you an x5 that have between 5,000 - -8,000KM for test drive and try to park it on 45° angle slope, do full steering lock and put vehicle on reverse of drive then you will hear all of this.
For the content creator, thanks for such a great content but if you have an idea or a fix of this X5 front suspension and brake squeaking, please let me know.
Hey Hector.
Sorry to hear you’re dealing with that. It’s very rare to hear such cases and it’s not nice that the dealer is not taking care of it.
The dealer that I’m at has always been very fair with issues with new cars. I would try other dealers if you haven’t already. If it’s that new BMW should have their own warranty that should cover any mishaps like that.
I don’t know of fixes nor have have heard of those on a brand new car. But would highly recommend other BMW dealers.
I cant believe you missed talking about the sky lounge that comes with the executive package
Being sarcastic right? :)
Stop giving us the middle finger at 11:00. Sheesh. So unprofessional.
Ha ha, you found the Easter egg
Exterior color?
Phytonic Blue!
Why have they not transitioned the old sunroof :(the old sunroof made the driving feel like you are in a convertible during summer
True!
Is this the 2022 or 2023 model
2023! Not much has changed except the fact that they can be equipped with sensafin leather now!
Very informative but why does he keep saying “to to” and also “hit” the button, surely that would break it? Is this an American thing?
Agreed! I need to stop saying TOO so many times, and yes we also say HIT instead of press =)
Thanks for the feedback!
@@BeamerView I see where you were going with the “too” bit, “to” is where you are going eg. going to the shops and “too” is where something is more eg. I have eaten too much food. I know you know that but just an explanation for those who might not, either way it is still spoken the same way it’s the context of the sentence that determines the spelling. I understand the hit thing. Sorry if I’m coming across as a pain, I really don’t mean to and no offence is meant, I’m just a big fan of the English language. Keep up the great content my friend. 👍👍👍
@@darrenkellett not at all. I more than appreciate the feedback. Public speaking my strong suit but one day will be! :)
Aren’t they remodeling this car in a few months for 2023 mid year?
I believe so yes! They are also doing the x6 LCI soon too
Outdated aready! 2024 model is the better X5.
Yeah, there's another video already out on it.
🇩🇪🔥
Thank you!
I want the 2019 40i.
Yes! That was when they did the first redesign for it. It was a game changer.
Where can I purachse the adapter for the nack of the car
Should be on amazon.
