Better than a Trackhawk, Urus, or RSQ8? Maybe! | 2020 BMW X5 M Competition Review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 тра 2024
- We all know the Trackhawk is the drag strip king, we all know the RSQ8 is the fastest around the Nurburgring, and we all know the Urus is the ultimate flex. What if I told you BMW may have created the best overall performance crossover at any price? Don't believe me? Well, in this review I shouldn't have to do much convincing to see why this might be the best overall performance crossover on sale right now! Like every car, it doesn't come without its faults though!

I envied you so much in this video. Not only having one of my dream cars but that drive was exhilarating. Awesome job!!!
I've seen so many car reviews and this is the best one yet! you really do a great job showcasing the vehicle and its entertaining to watch, keep up the great work!
Outstanding review and video. It's good to see something different during these rough times. That SUV is a BEAST!! Thanks for sharing.
T K Thanks for watching!!
Love the intro & editing on this, great work as always! :)
Thanks Jeff!
The best review for x5m on youtube. This car is a beast. Keep the amazing work 👍🏻
You barely made out of that intersection and it was already at 60mph like nothing man 💪🔥
That rant on the exhaust is totally fair, it should sound exactly like the M5comp.
subbed. appreciate how thorough you are and that you SHOW us the features, not just mention them, keep it up!!😎
Appreciate you showing all the different lighting at night.
Great review! I recently purchased a 2017 X5 iDrive 35i and love it. But, now I want the X5 M!
Thanks for a great review! Love the attention to detail and information. Masterful job by both you and BMW!
First time I’ve seen a review from you ... great job! Luv how you hit on all the key features in friendly, relaxed manner and don’t just regurgitate press release info. Subscribed.
As for the exhaust ... I think it is perfect as is. I don’t want farts and gurgles and too many decibles. But I’m an old white dude so what is cool to me may not be cool to you :)
nice, comprehensive review...cheers! I've always been a fan of the X5M, and though it took a while for me to get on board witht the newer looks, this one is (as usual) a killer machine - love it!
Enjoyed the video...going down the hill reminded me of "Smoking Tire"...it's my dream SUV as well. 👍🏽
I rarely comment on car reviews and as the owner of a trackhawk, I agree with your assessment and comparison. Not sure the bmw x5m would take me in a drag race but overall it is a much better vehicle than my trackhawk. I will likely replace my trackhawk with one later this year. Really nice job....
@Mike A na it’s really not
@Mike A no def not
Why is trackhawk not better even tho it has more horsepower?
@@sjxhjfhhd1936 bc hp isn’t everything. It’s built on an aging platform- just replaced by Jeep/FCA, but not yet (ever?) available as a Trackhawk- never intended for any sort of twisty roads/track.
@@sjxhjfhhd1936 completely missed the point. BMW quality is off the charts compared to the Jeep. No discredit to the Trackhawk, but build quality goes to BMW. and the bmw is very luxurious.
I was waiting for you to upload all week and... 😍😍😍😍 I'm in car heaven
Heythere Kay Haha thanks! Glad you liked the review.
This machine wanna make me cry. Very good review. @ 8:35 you said X3M Competition
The cargo coverage storage is the best thing I’ve seen!! Great creativity on BMW. Mine sits in the garage and is never around when I need it 😂
Wow! You did an awesome job. At first I was like, what does he know about BMW, but then your overall knowledge and thorough review was just incredible! Keep up the great work. I will always look forward to your future reviews. I did subscribe and clicked the like button.
Thanks Ken!
Great review. Great quality! Thanks for the video!
What are your thoughts on the X5M Competition? It may be expensive but it falls perfectly in line with its biggest direct competitor, the RSQ8. (I should be filming that soon!)
Would you call this the best performance crossover, the most well rounded, or would you not consider this even if you were looking at performance crossovers?

GLE63 S AMG
RSQ8

I would definitely take this X5 or the GLE63 S, which is also INSANE. Those are my favourites.

Forrest's Auto Reviews the Gle 63 amg
RSQ8!!!
Hey, mate. Glad you reviewed this car. It is one of my favourites.
I cannot speak for THIS trim you have, but my friend has the X5 Xdrive40i. She put quite a lot of options on hers and it went up to about €92 000 in this blue, the individual interior pack and it is almost fully loaded. She is a huge BMW person and she earns a lot of money, so of course she had to go for the X40i after having an M3 and M5. This one you have was not out yet.
The exhaust sounds on newer BMWs may be a bit toned down because of EU regulations, sadly...I believe. It has been affecting a lot of European cars. I am not sure if the regulations carry over to non-European markets. I like the sound enough.
We noticed the space in the back and the boot/trunk is as you said...quite small for a car of this size, but it is good enough. The SUV with the seats down can fit a few surf boards and a lot of our other stuff. The GLE is much more spacious and practical, though.
The drive is more on the firm side. I find it to be uncomfortable, especially as a Mercedes-Benz driver, but it is fast...but not as fast as yours, of course. My friend loves it that way, though. It is livable.
That is what I can say about it. I rarely get to drive it, but when I get to it is nice and luxurious. I personally would get the GLE 450, but this is fantastic.
Choosing between this X5 and the GLE 63 S is impossible. They are both amazing performance SUVs built on amazing luxury SUVs.
Cheers, man. 😎
40i is a bit under powered on the X5 platform - really need the 50i at a minimum when coming off things like the M3 / M5 IMO
Great video, i like how you highlighted some of the included features of this beast and your description of how it made you feel to drive it. Your driving demonstration in the hills on the curvy roads was about what the average owner will encounter. Because of this video I changed my decision from the X5 M50i to the full X5 M comp. Thanks to you I made my purchase this past weekend and I am loving the X5 M comp in Marina Bay Blue! Keep up the great work.
Glad you got it bro , I just copped mine couple days ago
Nice Rip through the canyon! Great review!
Great Review bro... definitely did a fantastic job!!!
I get BMW's exclusively because of where they place the engine start/stop kill button and wireless CarPlay. Awesome review!
Super NICE REVIEW FORREST. This SUV touches sport and performance in all the correct areas, I know it's smells beautiful and amazing in there..... It's just ULTRA EXPENSIVE Tho..... Great review
I loved yr review, really good, super professional. Here in Brazil we don't have the X5 M Competition, our top configuration stops in M50d.
Good review very in depth.
Great review, I think the tires are 21” upfront and 22” rear.
U should have much more subs bro WTF...awesome detailed job👌
mazda man 09 I’m working towards it! 💪😃
Nice review, thank you !!
Best review brotha, keep up the good work and I hope you gonna hit 100k soon! Much love from PAKISTAN🇵🇰❤️
One of the best SUVs out there beautiful SUV with fabulous features I love it GREAT video! 🥰👌
Love the Fiji Water reference at 1:49. Its sourced from a sacred mountain in my homeland.
I have a 2016 X5M and I also have the same dissatisfaction with the exhaust sound being too timid for a M car if you stay with normal drive settings. Once you switch to M mode for the engine performance, the growl and popping sound come to life.
I recently change the downpipe on my x3m,huge upgrade..I had the same complaint about the exhaust.. it's a must
Awesome review, beautiful machine.
So...I've been looking at an X5M...a used one. They are incredible vehicles. However that is not what I wanted to say here. What needs to be said here is, "RACIALLY MOTIVATED!" That is, this young man (regardless of his ethnicity or background) gives an excellent review of the topic at hand. He is clear, concise, and basically complete in his review. No slang. no hyperbole, and no vulgarity. And so (briefly) I will share a story with you. About a decade ago I used to unwind with a friend who was both black and gay (I am neither). One night he had to excuse himself as he had been to the beach with a friend (white guy) who had borrowed money and not repaid it. Damon felt he needed his money back very badly because I had paid for him the last time out. He left me at the bar and said, "I'll be back in twenty minutes." Even though I told him I didn't care who paid, he took off because, "it wasn't right," with regard to our bar tab. It took him over and hour to return. Why. Because he and his friend had to go to two ATM's to get all the cash (as the first one ran out). That resulted in the Police interjecting themselves and asking Damon whey he was driving a white guy around to multiple ATM's. (Bear with me, this gets better.) A month or so passed before Damon and I went out again. We were sitting in a bar not far from this first episode when around 12:30 A.M. a group of black males entered the the bar. Damon looked over to me and ashed if I was ready to leave. We had just received two new drinks so I asked him why he wanted to leave. His response: "Didn't you notice It just got a little dark in here." I was shocked and told him it certainly didn't bother me and even asked why he brought it up. He told me it was just a matter of time before one of the black guys would come over to start up a conversation and tell his friend, "hey, come on over here and listen to this white-talk'in MF." At that point he said he was going to lose his temper (Damon weighs in @ about 265 lbs.). And so to wrap this up I looked at him and asked: "So, let me get this right, you get pulled over by the cops because you're black, and condemned buy your own race because you sound, "white?" He just looked at me an nodded. Good review young man. Keep it up.
Excellent review.
I loved the “creek water versus Fiji Water”
Lol that's BMW for you lol
Kostas Fanourakis spoken like a true hater.
I feel like the X5 is the best car in the whole segment, even the X5 40i.
Exactly
Good review 👍🏾
Great review.
Very cool car, very enjoyable video!!!
Great review, I agree with you 100% the exhaust should be more aggressive.
These engines sound amazing with the right exhaust, straight piped F90s sound insane.
Great review! Love the X5M but instead of the extra storage I’d rather have a spare tire. Not like weight will make much difference.
A really fun review! Great job! I am considering purchasing the x5 m50i, a little more reserved , what's your thoughts on it?
Great video and that color is awesome! Do you think you can do an X3M Competition video soon? I drove one and it was great. I’m sure you’ll like it too.
Nice review! I don't envy anyone cross shopping this BMW X5M and the Audi RSQ8, that's a tough decision. I like the RSQ8 more after regularly seeing seeing a Q8 around in my neighborhood. I guess I get the practicality of these supercar like SUVs if you have to have only one vehicle but in a perfect world personally I'd rather get an M3 (especially since they're supposedly moving to AWD) and a pick up or a full size SUV.
Spot on overview
nothing short of a beast!
I liked the driving at the end.
Great car review! You called it an X3 M Competition at 8:37! Maybe you had just driven one earlier! Lol!!! I love this vehicle but more partial to the X6 M Competition for some reason. All in all great video!!! Will you be doing a video presentation on the X6 M Competition?
Urban Globetrotter jajajaja check minute 16:11 he said ‘’Mercedes Benz has to offer’’ its ok
i live for the quality videos
One of my dream cars
I didnt know Jordan Peele did auto reviews on UA-cam....😀
Agreed. Missing crackle and pops. If your complaining about the exhaust outside, what about the synthetic exhaust sound inside? Did you say x3m just before entering?
nice race and review. any idea if this is faster than the X3M competition or the new M3?
100% I agree with you about the exhaust. Perfect with the valves closed around town, but for the M Comp. it needs to come alive. This car does not. Love, Love the car. I’m going to order one. I want to drive it first. Ted
I think the RSQ8 is a better looking car, would love to drive one of these though. Beautiful car
Great Review 👍 but I missed some clear words regarding comparisons with competitors such as RSQ8 and maybe also to an RS6 as BMW does no performance estates and knowing the dynamic quality of M, I believe it can keep up with a RS6 performancewise on such a curved street, or? Maybe a race in one Video ;)? Thanks for feedback and keep on doing such good stuff!!!!
You need to review the x m3!
Rodney Thompson Will try! If this comment gets 100 likes I will do it!
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial Not sure if you meant Rodneys comment, or yours - so I Liked them both! :)
Listen carefully at 8:35 🤣🤣
@@Yurdaa yes he did at 8:35
Forrest's Auto Reviews Just bought an X3M Comp. Definitely worthy of a review.
I agree on the exhaust. Normal is good. But the M mode with exhaust valves open should be louder with more pops and bangs. Especially on the competition versions...
Excellent review, when is the x6 M comp review?
Cool review. Can you review the 2022 version please 2022 BMW X5M Competition
BMW really did a great job with this one.
Great review 👍
Great review. Just wondering what the music used in the intro was?
Crazy exhaust? A resounding, YES!
That Stance and Wheel well GAP !!
Excellent review. I wonder how this would do against the audi rsq8
I love this tanzanite blue but for me marina bay blue is an eye catcher
Love that you don't blur out the speedo!
Raced this 2:00 in the morning in my 335i, this thing made my 335i feel like a stock Honda Civic trying to race it. This thing is unimaginably fast stock.
i actually think the exhaust suits the ethos of this car very well. it’s after all a decently large, family SUV. the exhaust is good in the normal mode, it’s quiet enough to not deafen the kids but still reveals a bit of the character of the engine. and the M mode is loud and powerful, without sounding like a crossbread sports car (think of the ‘sharting’ noise the Escalade V makes). this car is a capable, well designed luxury german SUV, not an Italian supercar or a supercharged muscle car like the Urus or Trackhawk. i think it all balances out nicely to complement what the car is designed for
I really would like to see the BMW X6 M Competition
Very nice, how is the noise of the run flats, when your just cruising?
Insane freaking car!!!
1:26 Fuji water
haha
good example
Okay Forrest I know I commented on you hair a few days ago, but I also helped build this X5m competition! 🙌🏾
Nice! You work in the factory??
Yes I build the X5, X6, and X7!
The exuast is perfect
One of my dream cars... ❤🇩🇪
Lightning Farron It’s up there for me as well. I’d definitely take a Trackhawk if $130k was unattainable. However, the BMW does offer equal acceleration as the Trackhawk with more refinement, way more luxury, way more tech, way better handling, and more comfort. For those reasons I’d save up and aspire to get the BMW over the Jeep.
@@forrestsautoreviewsofficial I agree!
Very nice
07:23 you’ve nailed it👍🏻
i know one would use them but as an option i would really like suvs like that have locking difs and o low range..probably 99% of people would evem know what a locking dif does but if you think about it this is tall vericle so i believe some of road goodies would make that a perfect allrounder. Even if you would never use them it just nice to have them. I d use them
After owning BMWs for the last 20 years, I can share 2 observations about them that might be helpful: 1) They really are great to drive. As long as you buy the mid-tier versions or above, you're going to really enjoy driving them. 2) Since 2010 or thereabout, the quality of BMW cars and SUVs has cratered and has made even CPO purchases a terrible idea. I don't expect Toyota or Honda quality when buying a BMW, but the frequency of repairs, the downtime required for doing the repairs and the overall cost is unacceptable in a modern car.
8:35 you called it an X3M. No need to thank me. I got you.
Oh wow what a description creek water versus Fiji really 😂
Minute 16:11 (the best Mercedes Benz has to offer jajajaja) that’s not the point this guy is a great reviewer he talk very good I still support and suscribe
Wonder how this will do against the trackhawk should be close but I think hawk will take it. Nice review btw
mike Ab I’d like to see it too! The Hawk will lurch off the line like a cat but this X5M will probably reel it in. This thing claws at the pavement once it gets moving!! It’s crazy!
Forrest's Auto Reviews I’m racing one next week I’ll let u know when I beat it
Can you do a review of the Mercedes-AMG GLE63s once it comes to the dealer.
No need 😛
Need to put in sport plus mode which makes it sound louder. Also, 22” wheels in the rear.
I really like the X5, I drove on and compared it to the new mercedes GLE, it was more sporty... And that was the V6 model not the M... I just worry the engine will explode, I have heard nightmare stories about the BMW V8, even a friend of mine who was in sales at BMW said as a friend "dont buy one"........ I know they sell for 1/2 the price of a new one when they are only 3 years old..
What a vehicle
So I'm curious how you'd compare this to something like the Tesla Model Y - The (Perf) Model Y does 0-60 in 3.5 I believe, which is a bit quicker than this....BUT this of course has that killer interior and that (decent) exhaust sound. I do agree, the exhaust sound def needs those pops and crackles etc
So I think this does closer to a 3.3 zero to sixty run. From the reviews I've seen, not a lot of people launch it right. You have to be in M mode, it has to say "launch control" in the gauge cluster, and you have to let it build max launch boost for about 2-3 seconds before releasing the brake. Once that's done, this thing leaps about as hard as the Trackhawk. The Model Y may take it from the start but this will easily fly past it, the X5M is just so fast on the top end.
Forrest's Auto Reviews my trackhawk does 0-60 in 3.1
Obviously this has better interior
They need to fix the exhaust. I’m pretty disappointed cause the m5 sounds amazing. And I would like to see that for the X5.
This is my dream Dad car if i was ballin
Bro you need to review the BMW X7 M50i
Wheels are staggered 21” front 22s at the back
finally🤩🤩
خالد وليد 👍👍
Bro how do you drive like that downhill lol that’s cool
One is creek water, the other is Fiji water 😮💨🤣 no better way too put it hahah
