Savage geese went Savage in this video. Haven't seen him have so much fun in a car in a long, long time.
Agreed....please do more fun car reviews. It's a lot more entertaining to watch! Please!
It’s expectation though, people are just not expecting this out of SUV
Very SAVAGE! (:
@@clee19821013 I agree. He was very negative about the BMW 5 series sedan even though it drives better than the x5.
LOL I love that "ohhhH!" sound Mark makes during 0-60 pulls
You could easily see when Marked launched it off the line the torque from that monster twin turbo V8 sucked him into the seat. This X5 50i looks like a license killer. If i had the money i would get this. I would tell the wifey im taking the kids out for a drive and we come back and the kids would look like they saw Pennywise in person🤣🤣
Not 0-60 pulls. 😏 (The second one was 0-81 because he forgot to blur it.)
I have to say that the quality of production you guys put into your reviews is second to none. I have started watching your vlogs on my new Dell notebook and was blown away with the clarity. Thanks
Your channel just rocks! I’m in the used market and looking back to older X5’s and this review did the trick. Awesome review!
I’ve watched a lot of reviews on this vehicle and your review is one of the best ones I’ve seen
I know this is an "older" video....but the quality of the information provided, while being entertaining....is 2nd to NONE!....thanks guys
You are the only reviewer with good taste in music.Thank you.
Great review - so thorough and honest. Thanks for driving it the way it should be driven. I’m subscribing...
Excellent video, camerawork, lighting and sound as well as pacing. Loved the contrast between smooth piano music and going ape driving the car. If I had that kind of cash you would have sold me!
So pumped for your GT3 review!! Can’t wait
Awesome review. I like how you give your honest opinion. There are things you like and dislike with this car...and this is how a true car review should be like!
this is freaky,,15 minutes ago i was thinking "what if savagegeese reviewed the X5'' ,,and now this,,im not joking.
sure buddy
Same. Wanted him to do an x5
Great video, I love seeing you have so much fun!
Reviews of such high quality and fun factor simply make 95% of car reviewers on UA-cam redundant. Bravo.
Great video as always, loved the GT-R videos too, especially the history portion, presentation and content is first class……
Well produced, informative and entertaining video. Thanks
Great review, really enjoyed that. Thanks!
Hey Mark, could you do a video on the sound testing? What do all the graphs mean and how do they affect sound quality? Do you check for imaging? What disks/media do you use to evaluate a system? Thanks, you do a great job of creating a concise and through car review. I'm in no way looking to buy a 100K car, but still enjoy watching your content.
That moonroof is literally LIT 😂👌
Really well presented and informative piece, thank you. On the ride quality issue, I haven't had the chance to drive an 'M' version of the X5, but experiencing a base version twice (as a passenger, I should say), I thought the ride was supple and really comfortable!
My goodness, the music intro in this video was such an excellent choice!
Dude. You're awesome. I'm single, happy, alone, don't answer questions when i get home, I can take naps, and I'm leaving my 991.2 for this X5M. Your review is so far beyond my auto intellect and really made my decision easy. Alohaaaaa
Awesome.. thanks for the quality reviews
I just got this car for my wife and I gotta say it's really an amazing SUV. It's extremely comfortable with a plush drive but still handlesbrilliantly, quality is as good as it gets and in my opinion better than Mercedes and it's blisteringly quick (and this is coming from an M5 driver).
V6 or v8?
@@enbardis V8 the M50i
After 2 years, how do you find riding in the back seat? I drive an Audi Q7 and had a feeling that the back seat of the X5 is somewhat less comfy than my current car, also the fact that it doesnt recline much might be a minus on longer road trips.
@@luvtiti My experience with BMWs is that their SUVs are a lot less comfortable than their sedans in the rear, that carries over to the X5 as well.
How reliable is it?
Just bought one of these with some added push from your review. Went air suspension from your rec of all being to sport related. Keep them comming.
The production quality of your videos is just way ahead of any channel that makes car reviews. Special thanks for the music, absolutely love it! Keep up such good work.
11:59 yeah!
Lmfao, that was hilarious.
Very informative review! Great job!
Omg FINALLY!!!🤣👍🏼 I already just bought one and love it.
Great review and thank you for your content, you guys do a great job. I am in the market for either the M50i or the 40i, I am still trying to figure out if the v8 is worth the extra cost. I have driven both, and still working through that decision. I would like to ask you about the air suspension based on your experience -- would you recommend the air suspension option on either cars? I don't drive off-road, and I don't see the value in having the car lowered for loading items. However, I was curious if it makes a difference in the handling and overall comfort in your opinion. Thank you in advance.
Gave us everything we need to know about the car, nice review
Great review and camera skills.
Goose on fire lately🔥
I think this review sold me to buy an X5 Xdrive 40i and I couldn’t be happier ❤
Really felt the energy in this one! Seems like a really fun SUV for what it is
How you only have 500+ followers is beyond me. But love the honesty of your videos 👍
A great and very thorough review
Waiting for your review of the SQ7 later this summer!
It.s nice to see what.s under the car.. great job.. new subscriber here!!
That intro song 🤙... This generation X5 @ the right spec is just @ another level...
The platform is brilliant. Drivetrain, handling, comfort, tech/infotainment, build quality are all top, top notch in the 'under $100k' bracket. You really get what you pay for at base price. (You have to get at least some options, though, unless you want it to be 40% of the price after 3 years and 30k miles.) But most of the options are very expensive, and if you want all the bells and whistles, then the price becomes absurd.
If you don't particularly enjoy driving, aren't savvy enough to make use of a car that talks to you (on a higher level than cheaper brands), and don't need leather everywhere, you don't need a BMW that starts at $60,000. But a MODERATELY optioned X5 from 2019/2020 (G generation) definitely earns the price tag compared to a cheaper brand. For example, an X5 with a 50% higher sticker than a Grand Cherokee feels like it's about 50% more car.
What a great review, the opening intro music itself urged me to put a thumbs-up on the video right away. Whats the title of the music?
Those laser headlights are hot! Great review!
I really enjoy your reviews. I can't afford this car and in fact most of the cars you review but I do appreciate your work and honesty. I used to dream of any 911, then Golf R and now I settled on a Subaru wagon. I feel like a half the man I used to be...
Life’s more than just materialistic toys, as fun as they are, they need to be earned. They also get financed a lot by a lot of dumb people who can’t afford the payments….
Love the intro music...very apropos!
Another great vid!
Hey savage just bought the 2017 x5 35i and love but I want more power , wanted to know what your thoughts were on the dinan software upgrade for $1400 ? I love your auto reviews your are the best on UA-cam and cable tv keep up the great work!
i've always wanted to get in to an X5. i just can't handle the cost. your video pretty much sums it up.
"let's launch it..."
"Oh!"
"Let's launch it again..."
"Oh!"
*Accelerates through a corner* "MmYEAH!!!"
I could almost see the leather, whip and ball-halter... ;)
They should of gone Focal speakers and halcro Control
@@rangeend5773 Finaly！audiofile comments, only french cars get them today and their car's it's not that good.....
I must have watched that launch about 10 times 😅

Oncoming drivers seeing Savage twirl his way into the lane: "Freaking beemer drivers."
Without using indicators too. Fellow BMW drivers would be proud.
Ordered a M340i xdrive and just changed my order today for an x5 3.0d instead (286 hp inline 6). I live in Europe. Here these 2 cars are priced the same when you add the options you want believe it or not. So went from a 3 serie to an x5 🤣. More practicality, less speed but I am a family guy and we already have a 5 serie. I guess I will just get the next gen M240i or M2 for fun. Thank you for the great review as usual.
Nicely done review. My mom has a 2019 40i she purchased new, it has been perfect for her. I recently bought a 2016 50i and although it’s a bit older I like it better in every way. Something about the new interior and exterior design leaves me cold 🤷♂️
I’ve been looking forward to this video since your friend mentioned prepping for it in the Explorer review. What’s your take on the X6?
Great review - I currently love my E70. I plan on driving X5's for decades to come.
Which motor do you have? I've been considering an X5 xdrive35i (or whateva they call the turbo I6 gas engine)
johnnievlogs keep as long as you can. The new bmws aren’t the same.
@@shanet7511 I have the 35d , I love it.
Loved the music in this episode, it really made the video for me, since i hate SUV's and especially ones I can't afford. Great job Goose .
good lord that into music...smooth af
Very nice review
And Please, Please, review the GLE and compare it to the X5
I have watched countless videos on this car but you have sold it for me!
So I’m at work siting at my desk and the BMW dealer called me on my 2013 X5 needing a recall repair for a airbag. I told the guy l already traded the X5 for a Volkswagen Arteon lease. I also said I will be back in a few years! Lol..Now this popped up! I miss my X5.. this video is my confirmation🙌🏾
I work at the plant that builds these and I'm still impressed with the power.
You dont miss with the intros
Good review and I own a 2015 X5 50i. Love the car but was going to move down to the 40i but now they do not offer the leather dash and BW stereo on the 40i. Deal killer so holding on to mine till I see the refresh. The V8 is just too much motor for around my area.
Dude where have you been all my life? Your vid (and the moonroof) are LIT! I loved the camera work and the framing of your shoot. It was inspired. Subscribed. Also, I just bought the 2020 in-line 6. Bimmer needs to pay you royalties!
I would get it with the straight six which is more reliable, and less expensive. It is better than Comparable Mercedes, and still the best in its class. Just remember lease and stay with base straight six.
My dad got the 2019 X5 50i. The V8 is just beautiful. Had to get it shipped from Kansas City to Connecticut since they're so rare.
No, I'll have the V8. Thanks.
Paul M lease ANY BMW,Mercedes, Audi........Buy Any Lexus.
Lease a V8, buy the i6
The straight six is a beautiful engine. Honestly probably the smoothest engine transmission I’ve ever driven and is a big reason why we got the 2019 X5. Excellent interior as well.
Love the candle light dinner intro
That piano intro was wonderful
7:32 the sound when you bust
11:59
9:47 when u try to talk while cummin
That’s 3 money shots! And no jokes about the rear end!
Long time viewer - this helped me decide on an X5 M50i (2022 model). This vehicle is the complete package: utility, fun, luxury, and looks good (subjective of course). I'm very happy with my first BMW. The difference in driving experience compared to the Ford/GM/Toyota products I have owned is truly in another league.
I'm considering the same - do you mind the fuel economy, especially given recent fuel prices? I've been looking at the x40i to address this, but I know the V8 is special. I'm also debating on the panoramic roof or not - I rarely use the one I already have, and I'm assuming not having the glass roof would result in much better sound insulation. Thoughts?
@@anjin77 the fuel economy is decent in the 40i, i get around 19 mpg in the city which isnt bad considering the size of the car + i drive somewhat aggressively and leave it in adaptive mode. the panoramic sunroof is standard on all x5s, the back lit "sky lounge" panoramic sunroof is optional, but dont worry about sound insulation. the x5 is easily one of the quietest cars ive owned (even without the optional acoustic glass) and ive owned a 7 series, 5 series and an f15 x5.
@@smar1208 thanks for the feedback, that's helpful
Damn, Savage! You almost lost control in losing control of that beast when pulling onto the road😂
Saab was first to do the night mode/black panel. It was introduced in the 1994 model year. Would turn off everything on the dash except 1/2 of the speedometer. Any warnings or excessive temps would turn the whole cluster back on.
Great review
What is the song in the intro? Great video as always!
Thx for a great video! Compared to the Jeep Grand Cherokee Summit, which provides a better ride quality?
Love the appropriate outburst!
Lovely video sir thank you
WOOOO Savagegeese video time.
I'm so grateful for my 2017 F15 xDrive50i, and that I ordered it with 19" 50-series tires. Anything rides smooth on a smooth road, but here in Minnesota where the roads are minefields 8 months of the year, anything with an aspect ratio of less than 50 is a recipe for a.) a really rough ride and regular trips to the dentist to have your teeth re-set, and b.) at least one ruined wheel and tire per year, with the cost coming straight out of your back pocket. My xDrive50i has a controlled but supple ride. I can count on one hand the number of times I've spilled my drink on a rough road. And not a single bent rim or pinch-flatted tire so far.
Really jamming to that interior tbh. The seats 😗
And yeah, it's a vehicle that caters to people who can't articulate what a good driving experience is but know it when they feel it. Same as the Porsche stable.
5:40 -- Love how they put light weight aluminum control arms on, then bolt a weight to the middle of the control arm, to make it heavy and tone down vibrations. LOL
Such a great video. Covers the most important aspects so well. A welcome absence of BS / nonsense. Information is presented in a direct fashion - great command of the facts. In this case, the video reinforces the key value aspects that are tied directly to BMW vs anyone else. The comments relative to BMW not being a value brand are valid. But it certainly seems like a value brand when compared against Porsche. Porsche to me has become emblematic of greed - to the point of shame. But - not to digress - this is a terrific video.
Great video. thank you. Is the Base HIFI sound really so bad ? I am thinking to buy one but B&W is about 5kCAD to upgrade. ALso what are the wheels on this car? Are the tires A/S ? or I have to change them to winter.
best car reviewer hands down!
Interesting that you said the air suspension is too firm. Every other review I saw said it was too floaty -- in comfort mode, especially. I wonder if they recalibrated it for 2020.
We crossed shopped this with a GLE-450 for my wife. This seemed the X5 seemed to be a much better value. She loves it. The 40i seems to be about as quick as my GLS550. Not fast, but quick and gets better mileage.
just picked one of these up the x40i variant with the exec package. with m sport. I love it way better than my x3 m40i.
9:25.... Mark, you love that left-hand turn lol
elegant intro. sure doesn't go with this thing, but the interior is improved.
A bit quirky but you can obtain all the options mentioned like massaging front seats, heated rear seats. Heated and cooled front seats. Hang with the BMW advisor and build them out. However, I found the HK to be better than average. I have not heard the BW in an X5, but I’m sure it would send shivers down my spine. The PHEV version of the X5 means less visits to the gas station and I love that!
We bought a 2016 X5 brand new, it outperformed any vehicles that my wife and I had previously, American, Japanese, and Korean cars were outshined just how well the X5 was polished. Granted, it's more expensive than the other brands, with BMW, you get what you pay for, we drove it around the country from New York to Florida and California, not a single hiccup and the service people are very friendly and helpful
what engine does it have?
@@ShaiyanHossain It had the inline 6. We wanted good gas milage and didn't live in a weather intensive area so the extra HP from the V8 wasn't needed but it still provided plenty of power to overtake or get up to interstate speeds.
@Henrik K What? Like they remove the seats, headliner, carpets, etc?!
Robbie Frame II mine also has the Inline 6. Love it
@Henrik K really? I thought your country was rich?
And are those people refugees?
I took a x5 45e for a drive this weekend and the suspension was very soft -- softer than the standard 5 series suspension, which is pretty supple.
Yes the 45e air suspension can be very soft and smooth. Go into Sport individual to tighten it up, it transfers the car fundamentally, but I usually prefer to have it in the soft mode in Electric mode
What you said about complete control of my car really struck record with me. I may have to get this one will see what the new seven series drives like first.
Nice driving Mark
Buy it in 2022 for about $50k with about 25,000 miles on it.
NO
Same
well, it’s 2022 and they’re much more than $50k
@@kristians2704 its 2023 and they are now in high 40’s for CPO.
@@ajr5195That’s still for a fairly high mileage one though. Point is, these are holding value pretty decently.
Almost bought the damn thing just because of the intro music.
I thought this was one of your better reviews recently. Partly to do with the fact that you throwing this vehicle around on wet roads. That was shocking to see on a UA-cam video. I am excited for your next review.
Couldn't hide the smile on his face driving... says a lot.
I would by this car based on his reactions alone. You can just hear how genuine and visceral it is. That price though....
Thinking about this vs a Durango 392. I would love to hear your opinion as I see you did videos on both vehicles,
You should review the Hyundai Kona awd turbo. Some say its the best CUV compared to the other ones but I trust your opinion and your word is law.
i can always count on this guy for good background music
