I went to Goodwood with BMW UK to try out the 2019 BMW X5, in typical British fashion the weather was horrendous! I did what I could to produce as much useful footage of this brand new sports and luxury SUV. Apologies for the total lack in external drive by shots etc, the rain and lack of light made it near impossible.
Thanks for watching

Merry Christmas Joe, best of wishes! Keep up the great content you’ve been putting out! All the best!!
Just found this Joe (God knows how I missed this back in 2018?) - great review and a very compelling X5! Straight six and quad turbos BMW = Perfect!
Happy Xmas Joe, great vid as always and can’t wait for more videos next year, as I say Merry Christmas and a prosperous new year for you! 👍🏼😎
Great video Joe. I love the new tech in the X5. Also, the ivory interior looks great.
Great video as always Joe! Love the new X5
Thanks for a year of cracking videos. Merry Christmas Joe 🎅🏻🎄🎁⛄️🚙🚗🍻
Thanks Andrew! Same to you buddy ♥️
Hi Joe! First time viewer from the U.S. here, and I want to say I thoroughly enjoyed your review. I have to confess to a bit of bias, however, as I recently took delivery of a 2019 X5 40i. I’m fortunate to have lived long enough to have owned a number of nice cars. But so far the X5 is my absolute favorite. Keep up the great work, and Happy New Year!
Merry Xmas Joe great review as always hope you have a great Xmas and prosperous NEW year.
Great video Joe...happy holidays!
Hi joe Merry Christmas and thank you for all your great work. You’ve entertained me all year with excellent content. If fact me and group of friends will be off to Scotland in 2019 to do the North Coast 500 as a result of your video. Now this is the gentlest of criticism’s. I think sometimes you can be a little too positive about whatever your driving. Now I appreciate that driving around in the latest 100k car there’s not going to be many bad bits that you can point out. I also appreciate that if you consistently unfairly slate the manufacturers products then access to these sort of events will quickly dry up. However, I would like to see you be I little more ‘focused’ if that’s the right word on the things you don’t like about a car or where you think it should have been better. Just wanted to mention that and let you know I’m subscribed to a number of like minded channels and your the best buddy!! Keep it going for 2019.
Merry Christmas mate! Lovely review for a superb SUV
No comment . Just , merry Christmas and a very powerful new happy year.
Thank you for entertaining us with your wonderful work .
All the best.
Happy Xmas to you Joe and your family and all the best for 2019.
Thank you, same you you buddy ♥️

JOE YOUR THE GREATEST MERRY CHRISTMAS BROTHER
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Joe!
excellent video, just like the brakes on this
merry christmas and happy new year, look forward to more content next year
Great vid Joe. Keep up the good work
Buon Natale from Italy Joe. This Christmas time I will enjoy my new 140i xdrive in the Alps thanks to you!
Cheers buddy! Hope the M140i xDrive goes well 😉👌
Great Vid Joe thanks! My dog would love that leather colour though!🐶🤣 Happy Christmas to you and your family!
Love your videos keep up the good videos and keep posting
Thanks! Merry Christmas ♥️
just came across this (old) video from Joe. in the market for a second hand 2019/2020 x5 and this is very helpful!
Great vid Joe.
Somehow I hadn't seen this before I handed over my money to Tony for my X3 30d.
Was already happy, but thanks for validating my choice on the engine (in the same way as you did on my manual choice on the M135i. Your X3 M40i one was the reason I was chatting to Tony about an X3).
Really good point on the petrol V8 sound. I might be mis-remembering but reminds me a lot of the sound from my dad's Mk1 Range Rover. Albeit about 4 x as fast and 4 x more fuel efficient.
Love the fact that it also does 0-60 in the same time as an early 1980s Lambo Countach as well. That should be fast enough to cart the family about, surely?!
Happy Christmas big man !!
Merry Christmas, Joe!
Thank you! Merry Christmas ♥️
Fantastic Joe, keep it up!
Thanks mate I’m also most tempted now to take this over the X3MC Joe 😎👍🏼
The Boss is Back!
Great video! Would love to see you review a F30 335d X drive. Not many reviews at all and considering its now a discontinued engine, makes it even more interesting! Keep doing your thing mate
Great review as always. I don’t ever consider SUV’s because I prefer fun cars but this review has me rethinking it. BTW what tires were on the M50D? Merry Christmas!
Top review again joe.
Great video Joe. Been a subscriber for years and love your content. I’m looking for my next SUV and I know I spoke to you on Instagram regarding the X3 M40D but really thinking about the X5 now. The M50D will be crazy money so think the 30D would be an awesome compromise. 👍🏻
Great video! Really enjoyed it
Things we have learned today:
1) Joe is a nice guy.
2) Joe really, really likes a panoramic roof.
3) 30d is better than 50d beacuse is more economical, not much slower and will not try to kill you when you hit the brakes hard.
4) There is something called cocking, or something like that.
Hahaha brilliant! Yeah well summed up :-)
Thing we don't like. He is just like all the other youtubers who address everyone with 'guys'. It is totally wrong and very annoying. Just talk to the camera as if you are having a chat on the phone with ONE person.
@@borjastick things you don't like. The rest of us aren't petty.
Nah 50d is vastly superior IMO
Informative and humorous - superb video, Joe.
Thank you glad you liked it 😎
@@JoeAchilles1 Sure :-) Thank you for so many enjoyable videos this year and Merry Xmas to you and your family :-)
Contemplating a F15/16 M50d as a daily 🤔 great video Joe!
Merry Christmas Jo
Finally a diesel review! Next the sq7, good work joe
Solid bit of kit this, I need that M50d variant
Merry christmas joe.
Cheers Dennis same to you man
Great video Joe
Thanks
Great vid Joe
Excellent review!✅👍
I've got the Silverstone interior on my f80 m3. It does really brighten everything up. Makes the slightly dull BMW interior better.
I take delivery of my m50d in April ..
I have already named the turbo's
1. Gre
2. Ta
3. Thun
4. Berg
and the exhausts .. more straight forward
1. Greta
2. Thunberg

😂😂😂 Pure gold mate 👌🙌
@@JoeAchilles1 the way that little girl irrationally riled up 40-50 year old men is still so funny to me.
Merry Christmas🌲
Cheers same to you ♥️
Nice one, Joe
Have a great Christmas 🎅🌲
Good review. Obviously BMW is now class leader and a true drivers car. FYI. The 50i M-Sport is a Monster.
Merry X-Mas rideblaze
Merry Christmas man! Tim called you Mr. BMW on his dads M2 competition collection video. Cant figure out why...
Joe if you have rear wheel steering then it helps with breaking - on hard breaking car moves those rear wheels around to help with traction
Merry Christmas!😇🙏
Good informative review Joe, How do you think the 30d will compare to the 40i petrol?
Nice video Joe. Could a X5 replace the 7-series as your work-car? I Guess many in your business are using SUV's.
Great video mate! Which of the additional packages would you recommend on an X5??
Great family car
Thanks joe
Nice car!
Nice review Joe! You made me buy an Alpina D3, and watching this I feel tempted to buy an X5 30d. Think I need to unsubscribe to your channel lol. Merry Christmas from Belgium!
Hi Joe, Merry Christmas and all the best for 2019. Best wishes Alan B

Feliz Navidad.
The only SUVs I've driven are the Vxl Frontera 2.2 CDTI&SEAT Ateca 2.0TDI FR Sport. I've been in mk2&mk3 Land Rover Discovery's. I'd love a used BMW X1, X3,X5 or X6.
I'm not quite sure why he kept harping on about a wheel coming off the ground on the cross-axle humps. That is actually what you don't want when offroading. Wheels in the air don't have much traction.
But great video. Got a good feel for the car. Will never buy it, but might come across it as a rental sometime.
This will substitute for the Top Gear Christmas special 🎅
Dear Joe,
Can you tell me why do you use traction control off in everey situation? I undertand it in sport mode, but why in comfort or eco?
Thank you!
M850i owner
Great review! Just scratch the "now let's talk about" part. That sounds like you are talking thorugh your q:s. Otherwise, this is going the right way!
Have a lovely Xmas everyone!
Thanks you too and thanks for being such a loyal viewer 👌👌
Sounds good to me you can see out of the front and the sides, amazing, not only good in that weather Joe handy in all situations on the road me thinks, outer styling not to my taste, prefer the new VW ,which looks fantastic but you being a Beemer man would probably disagree, 27 MPG is crap my 2018 Cayenne averages 32MPG knocking about. question are you on the payroll of BMW?
Cheers
how much does joe love the centre arm rest down?
What’s the suspension like in the m50d vs the 30d I take it the m50d had the m sport with adjustable dampers ?
I would guess that with a BMW X5 SUV you would have trouble following a 1970 Opel Kadett in the terrain.
Hi Joe!I want to see a review of E46 M3 CSL.Thanks.
No worries man, find me a tidy one and £300 to film it, will get it done next week 👌
Driving that path is what I do every spring going up to my parents. It is a normal road.
I usually do it in a Golf.
All the off road stuff and air suspension. Is all that optional
Great vid, and happy christmas! Already changing the 740d?!
Cheers buddy, you too! I'm on a short lease with current 7...
Love the new X5. I’ve just ordered a fully loaded M50d to replace my 740Le, which is also a fabulous car.
I saw you today at Heathrow Terminal 4 in your 7 series
I was at Terminal 3 around 11.30am toady, didn't goto 4 though....
The 30d that you test it has 21 inch not 20
How do you compare the refinement between 30d and 50d?
I love BMW X5 G05 - I had F15 30D, which i swapped for G05 30D (286bhp). Then i got attracted by my childhood dream (911 991.2 C4S), so i sold G05 and bought 911. After having X5's for 4.5 years 911 was totally not comfortable for daily driver and i swapped for Macan S. I'm in Macan S last two months. Like the look if and power (385bhp) it but everything else is worse comparing to X5. I've Already reserved brand new X5 30D with better specs (M Sport Pack Pro, Tech Pack Pro Plus, Comfort Pack with merino leather, Pano Roof, Crafted Clarity controls, and pretty much no deletions aside of touch function of iDrive controller and soft close) and selling Macan.
To all of you who considering swapping X5 for Porsche DON'T DO IT - YOU WILL REGRET IT. X5 is such a nice car, fells excellent to drive, I tested it in extreme winter condition in alps - X-Drive was amazing - kept me well on fuella pass full of snow (a mountain passage in Davos) , technology amazing, comfort amazing fuel economy very good.. One thing you want to consider - trouble of getting 22inch winter tyres (i used 22 without BMW homologation)
Joe - question to you - I am biased by some users to get a 40D instead of 30D - what are your thoughts about it? Whats the fuel economy difference (i have been getting approx 30MPG with 30D which was excellent for such a big, comfy car)
I’ve heard drivers report that, real World, the 50d is lighter on juice than the 30d. Would be nice to know accurate figures than just assume the 50d’s heavier?
More like X-Files weather!!!
I never spec the sunroofs as I always think it’s something to leak for whoever owns it in 10 years time! I’m considerate like that 😂😂
Nice review. This is the same car that Shmee drove, it has the same spot on the steering wheel. Damn I really got OCD. :D
can't wait to see what the tuning companies can do with this... surely will be pushing 500bhp/900nm with a chip box?
easykarter18 there are some tuners in germany which done this with the new x5 m50d. They have around 515 hp and 940nm
DanielAB there you go then. I was pretty much there😂
Do you have a review on the BMW X5 m50d? Because that’s what I searched for and then it comes up with the review on a normal x5.
I drive it in this video
Hi Joe, I know may find this petty, but saying that BMW is the first luxury SUV, is wrong the first Luxury SUV is Range Rover, any how loved your video
Cheers man, I thought I said one of the earliest luxury SUVs... it was damp and horrible and I was rushed so might have got it wrong. 🙄
Will be interesting to see if there is a X5M coming again.
Think there will be
@@JoeAchilles1 Did you get chance to use the laser lights when off cam? They seem like a great upgrade from LED.
I enjoy the tangents, yep typical English 💩winter weather even if I have to say 🗣we’ve had a really good year weather wise.
is this better than an Audi sq7???
Detest the overtly "bugs Bunny" front end styling and non descript back end... My current X5 40d will shortly be replaced by a new Cayenne.. not the last word in styling, but its road manners and 4x4 system crucify the Beemer. Sorry.. apart from this particular car, great videos!
Can you talk Kilowatts as well as HP please.
Interesting comments on 3.0D v 50D. I normally try to buy the biggest most powerful engine I can. I recently drove a new 530D and a current M5. Less than a year old the price differential between these two cars is over £30,000 and I have to be honest with myself and say that for 90% of the time the 530D probably performed just as well, if not better than the M5. I'm still torn between them but that extra £30K is feeling like just too much.
So the best price / performance / fuel economy compromise might be the ca. 320bhp 40d that will no doubt be released later 😉
hi joe , i have an e39 520i Tu engine , i am from chad , i was trying to buy a mass air flow sensor with rectangular plug ! but i still don't find a used parts dealer ! if you got one who sell used e39 part for no so expensive i will appreciate , thanks
and of corse in the UK i'll find some on to get them to here , thanks again
What tires were fitted?
That engine but petrol would out face any suv on road apart from x5m
Love the 50d would like to see it up against the sq7
It's less powerful by a large margin. But also far more complicated due to four turbos rather than just a v8 twin turbo diesel and electric compressor.
