      If the driver's seating position is more "generous" (larger seats) I'll go with the X model with those bigger seats regardless of which vehicle it is. Also, I'm quite jealous of the legality you are afforded on the autobahn. Very jealous!

    In my 55 years driving history, I have owned an X5 3.0d auto for the last 20 years, and just passed 150k miles. Despite it's outdated 5 speed GM gearbox, it's been my most enjoyable and rewarding motoring experience, even compared with a 1972 Lotus in my younger days. The X5's blend of comfort, practicality and performance is second to none, and I'm just hoping the wife will let me buy a replacement very shortly before I'm too old, 'cause frankly no other SUV cuts the mustard like a 3l X5.

    • @andrzejkulakowski
      @andrzejkulakowski Рік тому +1

      Hey I concur to that - especially the facelift version with stage1 modding, that diesel is like a rocket tank. Never had so much fun with any other car... except e39 3.0D with the same configuration :D One major drawback though is that those cars rust sooner than their running capacity wears off (if properly maintained). Those doors accumulate water and eventually you have to either replace or bore a hole in them and repaint, which translated to extra care and effort. Other than that e53 & e39 in carbon black look visually stunning even today.
      Very gracefully cars.

    Love your comment, "Listen & Repeat"..that took me back to my high school German classes when my instructor also said "listen and repeat"..."hören und wiederholen Sie". I really appreciate this X3 & X5 comparison. Particularly interesting was your conclusion that rear seat passenger space between the two is nearly identical. Both are "possibilities" to replace our aging Volvo V60 Cross Country. I also viewed your x5 45e review...and to me, if ONLY a x3 plug in hybrid was available here in the U.S....that might be the perfect fit for us as here in the Midwest US, it's a bit too soon for a full EV due to minimal available charging infrastructure. Thank you Thomas.

    I had this doubts in 2019. My heart was telling me X5 but my head the X3. You’ve put things perfectly, as usual, Thomas.
    The X5 is a bit more sophisticated, mostly on certain details like softer leather, better seats or certain optional extras. But for a daily use the X3 has better driving since feels more lighter, is easier to park and the price difference didn’t seem justifiably to me.
    That said, I hope someday I can afford to move up towards the next X5 gen.

    I own a X3 30i 2020 and I rented a X5 30d 2020 for a week
    so both Gxx pre LCI I think
    X3 is the clear winner to me:
    - more agile
    - faster (the X5 above 200kmh is a pain…)
    - easier to sit in, you climb onto the X5, you sit in the X3, seat is exactly at the height of my bottom
    - rear seats: there are the same width !!! I measured it in case I wanted to set 3 child seats (i have 2 kids), Basically the second row external is further from the door in the X5.
    - Trunk: the X5 is a pain, I hated this tail gate. Thomas is 1m86, I am only 1m80, couldn’t reach the front end of the trunk. And guess where things end up after driving/breaking … :D
    for a family, X5 brings zero benefit
    for a large/tall driver, yeah, driver will be more comfy in the X5

    Great review Thomas. I have been watching your channel for a couple of years now and have been waiting for this comparison. I owned a 2018 X5 M50d, great car, lots of power but nightmare to park in many places due to the size. When I changed this year I looked at a new X5 but as the newer model was even longer and wider I opted for the X3 30d MSport instead. The X3 is not much smaller inside the car, there is more than enough power, the tech is great and I feel it drives more like a car than the X5 so I can be more aggressive around the corners than I was with the X5. Parking and narrow country roads are way better with the X3 as well. After 3 months I am very happy with the X3 and don’t miss the X5 at all.

The width does definitely count in the X5's favour, but it makes it an absolute pain to park in tight multi storey car parks.

    My 4th BMW will again be an X3 Sport. I moved from my beloved X3 to the X5 to drive grandchildren around (yes, laugh aloud, 78 year are old German grandma here), but soon missed the agility and simple “Fahrvergnügen“ with my boring X5. Now I’m returning to the 2023 X3 (currently on the ocean). I’m very excited. BTW, to those denigrating BMW reliability, I say baloney. Maintained my BMW’s well and never, ever had a problem over the many years (since 2006). Used to drive VW before that, no comparison. I can’t think of driving any other make (spoken as a born Münchener Kindl and somewhat prejudiced).

    Great review! You really feel the difference getting out of the X5 and getting into the X3. The X5 cabin feels much bigger. I had the X5 40e without rear wheel steer and my current X5 45e with rear wheel steer. I would recommend that option. All though it is pricy, the difference in agility and manouvering round in the parkin lot is like two worlds. But then I would say that the 45e is a huge step up in every way over the 40e. Huge difference.

    Lauf kultur! Great comparison review as always Thomas. Can't wait to hear and see your thoughts on the 2023 X7 LCI too. Be curious to know if the boosted i6 B58 (375 hp) is sufficient for this larger SUV, as well as your impressions of the new, detuned S68 in the M60i. Perhaps another "is bigger always better" comparison of X5 to X7?

    Hi I want to say such a great video! Also as an owner of gps timing gear and a 2021 BMW X5 45e gotta say you should actually test these number on 0to60. I have repeatedly pulled 4.9 seconds to 60 and sometimes 4.789. I also know car and driver and motor trend also got the same 4.7 seconds. I totally agree with you about the smaller feeling of the x3 , just drove one for loaner recently exactly same vehicle, yes the fast one as a loaner! Great video, I love both vehicles but the x5 gives me so much in the crushing and doesn’t feel much less sporty from the x3. Plus I have the plug-in and I get to drive electric most of the week and drive fun on weekends.

Recommend v6 I think more suit the chassis.

    Your reviews are very thorough, Thomas. Nicely done and nice legs! ;) I like the X3 because I don't need such a large SUV; however, struggling as to whether to wait for the new 2025 version in 2 years. iDrive 7 or iDrive8? I like the extra physical climate buttons and shifter of the iDrive 7 system but then again, I don't want to buy something that may already be obsolete.

    I have a 2022 X3 M40d and 2021 X1 2.0i X-Drive and have owned 3.0d M-Sport X5’s in the past.
    I agree with others that the X5 has a wider, more comfortable and sophisticated cabin and with air suspension a better ride.
    The X3 in comparison is a far more sportier SUV, with a cabin to match, more so with the optional ‘M’ seats which are an extra cost option in the U.K. but are extremely comfortable and worth that extra cost IMO.
    Practicality between both models is hardly noticeable, with both accommodating 5 adults comfortably.
    For me it came down to price. The X3 does everything the X5 does but the X5 is a more cosseting and comfortable environment and cabin to be in, is that comfort worthy of the premium cost over a X3?……you decide.

    I know , BMW should make a crew cab, extended cab or single versions, 4x2 or 4x4 pick up trucks with a hood scoop option, lifted with high ground clear stock , and a short 6' box or long box 8' truck bed. Then offer a V6 straight six turbo charged all the way to a large V8 or V8 turbo diesel dually!!! Ohh with descent fender flares and all terrain tires. With classic modern BMW front end design. Maybe even a dually diesel version for heavy towing. With all the bells, whistles, and lights!

    I like them both but I prefer the X5’s looks and profile. I can’t fit comfortably in the M40i and it’s too small inside but quality on both is first rate. I need the extra room on cargo area and I have dogs. But the ‘23 X5 doesn’t have that amazing B85 w/hybrid power. Why not? The M40i’s engine makes it feel like a sports car. Good comparison. 👍

    I currently own an older X5 which is in the shop; I have a 2021 X3 as a loaner. I find the X3 with the 4 cylinder is plenty fast and significantly lighter and hence more nimble than the X5. I thought the 4 cylinder might be too loud at idle, but from inside, you can't even tell it's running when at a stop. Main downside is that the X3 seats seem a bit too narrow for my taste.

My car was in for an air bag recall, not because it broke. BMWs are expensive to maintain, I will admit because parts are expensive, come from Germany and are in many cases, over-engineered.
