    Complaints are spot on. I had my 2017 X5M tinted last year and they used Suntek ceramic 70 which made a huge difference in heat rejection, but beware there is a slight haze with these tints, but only in certain lighting, and definitely worth it! Keep up the posts.....great info!

    I couldn't agree more about the single piston rear brake set up. I have a 50i msport and hate the aesthetic of the smaller brake on the rears. Also, I LOVE how comfortable my 50i is. My buddy has the x5m and when i drove it, I noticed how much different the suspension was like you noted. Great video man!

    Oh man! I have the same complaints about the X5. Now don't get me wrong, I will never get rid of it just because of those things but it just something to point out. I got tired of getting hot on my face so I got the front tinted and it actually made it look better. I hate the small brake in the back and the dust is definitely annoying. I was at a traffic light and I must have pressed the park button and didn't realize it, as soon as the light turned green, the feeling on not knowing why the vehicle didn't move when I press the gas was embarrassing. Revved it up quite loud for no reason

    14 mpg on my 50i :( but its my driving style so can only blame myself for that one. Interested in the brake dust reduction! I was going to try ceramic coating the wheels to stop it accumulating so much as well. great video.

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 роки тому

      Thank you. I ceramic coated my wheels also. Brake dust still doesn’t stick as easy but there’s still that layer of dust after a short drive. I became so annoyed with it.

  • @kennethdavis8802
    @kennethdavis8802 3 роки тому +1

    I have a 2015 X5M and I agree with all your comments except maybe the windows not being tinted enough. I live on the east coast and the factory tint seems sufficient, in fact I think the F85 could use a little less window tint because the excessive tint sometimes makes it difficult for me to see a night. All the other dislikes were definitely on point. Keep up the great content!

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  2 роки тому

      Unfortunately,The F85/F86 doesn’t have a Park button on the gear selector.
      The only way you can avoid having to confirm M2 is have DSC fully enabled on your preset.
      Once you have DSC off or MDM as a preset, BMW has it that way so you’re telling the vehicle you know what you want to do so those don’t accidentally disable stability/traction control without warning.

    Good video. Mine is a 2018 X5M and I don't have a problem with this stuff. Comfort mode is fine for me. Buying an M car you are expecting a tighter suspension. Same thing with the MPG. You don't buy a $115K car and worry about gas mileage. I average 14 around town and 19 on the highway. It's annoying the number of times that I have to stop and fill up but its part of the territory.

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 роки тому

      Of course. These are very minor complaints for me. The more I have it, the less it’s more of an issue. The fuel mileage surprised me the most coming from a 50i, I expected a the same mpgs.

    Hii Edward,
    I’m looking right now for a X5M and I’ve found with 70k miles on it and priced at almost $32k. Do you think it’s a good buy? How’s the service expense on these ?
    Thanks :)

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 роки тому

      70k is a little on the high side but that price does more than make up for it. I say if it’s well maintained it shouldn’t been a problem. Price is good! These are driver cars so it sounds like they kept it on the road.

      My expectations were optimistic seeing that I had a 50i and it’s a similar engine. Again, I should mention I’m stretching here. It’s not horrible, but those coming from a 50i, may assume 50i fuel mileage.

    Hey Edward,
    I ended up buying a 2017 X5 50i with 31,600 miles! CPO, and going to extend another 2 years after.
    Quick question, when I try to put the shift knob to the left, to engage 'S' mode, so the car doesn't revert to 'D' if paddle shifter isn't used for a few moments, the knob does not lock. I can shift into it, and I can see on the dashboard it displaying S1, M1, etc, but the knob keeps popping back to 'D'.
    What am I doing wrong ?

    Had my f85 X5M 2 weeks now, my method of putting it into park mode is different to any of yours am I doing it wrong?? When I come to a stop I just apply the electronic handbrake and it automatically goes into P and then turn off, the double tap from neutral on the ignition was winding me up!

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 роки тому

      There’s nothing wrong with your way. The easiest is to leave in D or R and it will switch to P mode by one press of the ignition. If you’re in N then you’ll need to double tap the ignition. If I’m going to run out like if I’m about to back out of the driveway and forgot my wallet and family is in the car I’ll activate the parking brake first, then open the door and it would switch to P with the engine running.

      Well a lot of factors go into insurance, such as age, driving history, number of vehicles etc. I feel like it wouldn’t give an accurate representation of what person A would pay vs person B.
