I used to be an audi R8 V10 Plus, now I'm a lamborghini huracan because I get more attention and I'm better looking and more expensive than my cheaper non identical twin.
Been riding around in a 2016 X5 M Sport the past couple days. Definitely has some significant tire roar on the 20" wheels. Cabin quality is great, seats are pretty comfy and infinitely adjustable, and the 16 speaker Harmon Kardon system is phenomenal. It's pretty fast too, had no problem passing lol
Just bought an X5 and saved £6550 using carwow offers to haggle. Originally I was getting just £1000 off from the dealer so this channel and it's website are outstanding. £5550 pound extra saving!!! Thanks Mat and the team I love your videos.
Cool review, I do think you're a bit harsh on the dashboard design though. You're right, don't bother with the hybrid, go straight to the 3.0 turbo diesel
In my quest for a new luxury SUV, I drove the BMW X5 xDrive40e, RX 450h, Mercedes GLE 350 and Volvo XC90 T8. Decided to go with the RX hybrid. Great review!
£38,000 for a used 2018 X5 M Sport sounds a little steep! I have the same (2018) with the 30d xDrive engine. I'm assuming you bought yours with low mileage and maybe the 40d or 50d engine?
No it is reliable the reports of anything is very low and I have a 2014 X5 F15 35i and nothing absolutely nothing happened yet a few oil changes and gas money that's it completely honest too.
always fun to watch.. the other annoying feature with BMW cars "I've got one" is that you need to press the "P" button on the center console every time you need the park sensor to work, annoying as i use it every day when i pull into the garage, other German rivals have it on permanently and you turn it off in those rare occasions when you don't need i.e car wash etc.
Great video Matt. On an interesting side, I do love the design of the interior of the X5 where it is very minimalist with a Scandinavian tone. For me, it is the best interior out of its rival (GLE, RX, and Q7). Anyway, everyone has their own opinions.
I love the channel and the reviews. I have an X5 and have been told by a BMW main dealer workshop controller of 26 years of experience that the X5 eats tyres. It's due to the suspension set up. The rear tyres wear on the extreme inner edges and can go down to the canvas but the rest of the tyre has 4 to 5 mm left on it. Similarly the fronts wear on the extreme outer edges. Guess what BMW UK deny all knowledge of this. I spent £700 on a set of rear tyres. Not very happy.
Very true, does your car also have the staggered set up? I feel that affects it too. I was interested in the x5 with the m body kit but the tyres seem expensive
The BMW interior is exactly what I like about it. Simplicity, practicality and somewhat luxury, so stop calling it "a bit dated"! Also, the BMW gear lever is the most beautiful in the market! When it is about taste, just leave it to individuals to decide for themselves!
Man the x5 has started it all , I'm BMW fan today because of the original e53 , and the brand new 2019 4th gen spy shots looks disappointing , doesn't look buff and strong also the new one looses the famous rear side window it will be like the x3s rear side window just sad 😔
I think I'm the only one that prefers touchscreen infotainment systems to the iDrive. It's really a hassle to enter addresses with the wheel even with handwriting recognition.
We find iDrive much easier to use on the move - but we've yet to find a handwriting recognition system that doesn't make your writing look like that of a toddler who's had too much Red Bull
I'm having trouble with navigating the menus and entering addresses on my BMW because it's difficult to remember where all the shortcut keys are. I have a Volvo with a touchscreen/button system that's much easier to use when on the move. But to each his own I guess.
Now is probably the best time to buy a demo or dealer used X5 before it gets facelifted in late 2019 or early 2020, its so cheap compared to the similar models and you can sell it right before the new model come out and save money.
The interior is definitely better than the one in the merc. I absolutely love it. The colour in that one is boring. Go for a saddle brown and ivory white color combo with high-gloss wood trim and you'll see how beautiful the X5 interior is.
The new 2018 X5 should have a more updated cabin as it will be an all new car. However, the new 5 series was revealed this week and it's cabin is not a radical departure from this X5's. Just BMW styling I guess.
As always, thank you once again to Matt for delivering another excellent review and very nice timing on the release of this video. Recently, BMW Malaysia has introduced this exact model which costs way lesser than the normal x5 due to Energy Efficient Vehicle (EEV) incentives. My dad is dying to get one however my sister is extremely put off by its styling. Will it's Driving dynamics win over the other faults of the vehicle? We also currently own an Evoque, how does that compare to the X5?
The x5 hybrid is shocking and no one buys it, only a idiot would the Q7 Etron is not much more then the normal one and it gets 140mpg where as this has a claimed mpg of something like 50
Two things that " seem " to be odd about X5 models and that is the diesel rattle. Many are driven in my country and at idle these engines make me wonder if the cost of the car is justified by superb insulation. It really makes a racket. Secondly, the sheer size of the tires! It looks even more grotesque on the X6. The basis for the tire size is??? Looks? Gives the feeling of a design a child would do for his impression of a "powerful monster car". They however appear quite popular so I'd hate to think it's because the Joneses' own one.
Huh, I was confused why he was playing some album called X5, I started thinking that BMW even wrote songs dedicated to the X5 haha. A really nice car, I prefer the X6 though.
After searching for weeks, I finally found it, placed the order and it came right to my door, I looked at it , drove it and did a few checks, and I was sold…. Fast Forward 4 weeks. My brakes jamming, had to pay £400 to replace the stuff under…. OhI forgot , the driver side under panel flew off the highway an I have started noticing chips on the window… wowow, what did I buy...
@Suzanne Duncan yeah .. My friend advised me to visit a web portal which is confidentcarbuyer there is a course which support me as a proficient in this matter..

this is a great channel for car reviews, very straight out to the point.
Thanks!
Matt! Reply please! You're the best reviews for consumer vehicles in the net! Love your work! No one matches fun and information like you!
Thanks you're too kind
My dad owns a BMW X5 from 2018 and we all love it
Been riding around in a 2016 X5 M Sport the past couple days. Definitely has some significant tire roar on the 20" wheels. Cabin quality is great, seats are pretty comfy and infinitely adjustable, and the 16 speaker Harmon Kardon system is phenomenal. It's pretty fast too, had no problem passing lol
Which engine?
If the interior of the X5 is outdated, what would you call the interior of the Mercedes-Benz GLE???
ma. B.
Outdated
ma. B. Horrible
ma. B. Ancient
Poop
ma. B. An interior from the days of caveman
"Electrically heated seats"
That is good, my car has a boiler.
We love steam-heated seats…

Are you still working for carwow?

Just checking my lottery results... nope... carry on watching this guy and dream about some nice cars
sergi du Try living in Norway. Here this starts at 75 000£. Pretty stripped. Most of them ends up around 90k. 😩
The X5 starts at 150.000 $ in Vietnam. (Don’t know the price exchange to pounds (: )
That's in USD right? Because if that's Dong, sign me up.
In Srbija on mozzart bet who score the biggest total odd till 24.12.2018 will get x5!WISH ME LUCK.
Here in Australia it starts at $120,000 aud which is 60,000 pounds
In my quest for a new luxury SUV, I drove the BMW X5 xDrive40e, RX 450h, Mercedes GLE 350 and Volvo XC90 T8. Decided to go with the RX hybrid. Great review!
Matt has a great accent, to my liking. And an amazing way to review cars. Great channel.
Awesome video, Mat, as always.
Yes, a good one. :)
Idk about anyone but that Interior is so good with that analog speedometer just so good
Audi Q7 e-tron and Volvo XC90 t8 comparison video please
I've got a used 2018 bmw x5, best deal of my life for 38k. I've never had any problems. Pretty good car I must say
£38,000 for a used 2018 X5 M Sport sounds a little steep! I have the same (2018) with the 30d xDrive engine. I'm assuming you bought yours with low mileage and maybe the 40d or 50d engine?
@ieatworkable 2018 m sport 3.0 every extra 45k on the clock from BMW 32k.. shocking service from stratstone but it was a very cheap car
Thanks for an awesome review as usual!
Is there a 718 boxster/cayman review anywhere along the pipe? :)
P.S. Ann Summers gear shift LOL
Beautiful, amazing and reliable car
Dezz9820 reliable?
RandomTechS@#T reliable for the duration of the warranty
No it is reliable the reports of anything is very low and I have a 2014 X5 F15 35i and nothing absolutely nothing happened yet a few oil changes and gas money that's it completely honest too.
This review made me buy the x40e thanks to Matt!
5:45. Nice arms

So excited I am part trading my 2013 X5 for a newer second hand 2018 X5
How has it treated you?!
I like how the boot door doesn't beep or wait a few seconds before opening or closing it just gets on with it
Interior is awesome on these.. although do note that if you’ve got the 7 seater you can slide the base and adjust the backrest on the rear seats
my dream car, you did a review on carbuyer. Keep up the OUTSTANDING work!

Interior Its not old it’s just perfect in every way
Tbh most of the negative things about the car was associated with being a hybrid, overall great car, practical, luxuries and handles great for an suv
Haha, just came across this video. Can't believe carwow is this old. And I can't believe you look so young Mat 😂
Best reviewing car channel ever
I'd much rather have the XC90 T8
Great video, especially I like the 360 degrees reviews. You don't see many use that tech.
mat has been hitting the gym
The BMW interior is exactly what I like about it. Simplicity, practicality and somewhat luxury, so stop calling it "a bit dated"! Also, the BMW gear lever is the most beautiful in the market! When it is about taste, just leave it to individuals to decide for themselves!
That thing looks so good!
Mat you are the best car reviewer
Thanks for the review, very entertaining! The F15 X5 does starting to age surprisingly even though it has only been on the market since 2014.
*2013
Best car reviewer!!!!
2017 Q7 vs this one .. a review will be highly appreciated
Varun Sagar A Q7 is a bigger and higher-class model than an x5 mate...
Its not higher class model, stop talking bullshit please..
In Australia , the x5 40e comes standard with the M suspension
Very nice Reviews Matt Watson carry on brother
Thanks Matt !
did you get your phone battery pack back? :D nice review, packed with info and entertaining
first time 3 thumbs up for back seat...isnt it guys?
Man the x5 has started it all , I'm BMW fan today because of the original e53 , and the brand new 2019 4th gen spy shots looks disappointing , doesn't look buff and strong also the new one looses the famous rear side window it will be like the x3s rear side window just sad 😔
Looks good to me

Great review as always..
Cheers MATS. Hang on a second... are you an imposter?
+carwow No im not..i just picked random name long time ago..
+carwow LOL 😂
I think its a typo bc that car is a 2015 model registered between late 2014 and early 2015 hence the 65
Now is probably the best time to buy a demo or dealer used X5 before it gets facelifted in late 2019 or early 2020, its so cheap compared to the similar models and you can sell it right before the new model come out and save money.
Love to rent one of these SUVs one day in Australia.
The interior is definitely better than the one in the merc. I absolutely love it. The colour in that one is boring. Go for a saddle brown and ivory white color combo with high-gloss wood trim and you'll see how beautiful the X5 interior is.
With smaller wheels and the sunroof shade closed, the X5 is one of the quietest in the class according to other reviewers.
well done! btw you mentioned the roadnoise and wind noise , seems audi q7 does that better ...
Matt, the link for Practicality video is the same as the info entertainment link
The small lights at the front spoils the look for me.
I got news for you, fog lights do not illuminate 300 meters away. that is the job for high beam.
Always good reviews :)
Asked about it before, please tell us the fuel-economey in liter also so we in the rest of Europe can understand ;)
That split tailgate is ridiculous! It gets in the way and when it doesn’t you’ll get caked in the shite that’s all over it from the road!
Mat any chance we can see another review of your Mx5 damn I love that car
I'd love it if you make review of the new Ford Escape (Kuga in Europe). It looks very cool!
The Gordon Ramsay of cars reviewer!
i always love the X5 but that fog lamp position is just weird, why not integrate it with that large lower grille on the bumper?
Top Gear should hire you!
it would be amazing to see a comparisson between the x5, audi q7,range rover sport and mercedes gle dont you think?
not q7 q8!
I don't like the black grills at the bottom of where the headlights are makes it look cheap and basic for a hybrid model..
Carwow when will u be doing the BMW x6 2017?
Here in Cork Ireland we are snowed in
i love the bmw vids i own a bmw x5 2018 but wait whats the doueg score
Do a review of the 2017 Volvo V40!
The new 2018 X5 should have a more updated cabin as it will be an all new car. However, the new 5 series was revealed this week and it's cabin is not a radical departure from this X5's. Just BMW styling I guess.
Even if I had the money I would buy the 2011 model it's amazing
Waiting for your Model X review :)

your reviews are awesome but can get better if you tell the prices to
BMW X5 '2018'? Video says it was uploaded 2 years ago..
You didn't the 4 options are the end. Should you avoid it, consider it, shortlist it, or buy it.
Any upcoming reviews about some new Škoda cars?
2014, 16K Miles, $50,000 (after negotiation), 50i, very well-loaded.... Worth it?
ChelseaFC !!! Very
Review the audi Q7 please!
Better get the diesel more fun and efficient without that over complicated hybrid systems.
Thank you
Please review two cars Subaru wrx sti and GLE500E Thank you very much
I drive the X5 50i, pretty much same engine as the X5M
Still not the x5 m so why even bring it up? It's got nothing to do with this video.
Here's your brownie, now shut up.
I actually seen those x5 bmw cars before
Huh, I was confused why he was playing some album called X5, I started thinking that BMW even wrote songs dedicated to the X5 haha. A really nice car, I prefer the X6 though.
Mat Watson please tell us the story how you use to review cars through Car Buyer
You can recline the rear seats 💺
Nope
Mat is a such a handsome car reviewer
Not flashy like a merc in there but still very lovely and handsome. You'd be more likely to find a hard plastic in the merc.
Will there be a new facelift coming out soon? I'm thinking of buying one
marco168888 new model is coming out within the next 2 years.
..... but it's the size of a small barn. Who needs (or wants) to drive around in a small barn all the time? It's enormous
Was the first car you locked it while leaving it?
Mat.! Will you please review BMW M6 GranCoupe
After searching for weeks, I finally found it, placed the order and it came right to my door, I looked at it , drove it and did a few checks, and I was sold…. Fast Forward 4 weeks. My brakes jamming, had to pay £400 to replace the stuff under…. OhI forgot , the driver side under panel flew off the highway an I have started noticing chips on the window… wowow, what did I buy...
You should have done your homework!
Well I did, but I got too excited I guess
@Suzanne Duncan yeah .. My friend advised me to visit a web portal which is confidentcarbuyer there is a course which support me as a proficient in this matter..
Good car but, you cant do a review on this car and not on an x6 2016 model
can you do a review of the 316i?
