Hola
Today’s x3 is probably the size of the first x5
I'm going to order that now
Wa have the exact same car for a year now and the fuel consumption is 4L/100km. We have driven 18000km in total of which 12000km on electricity. It really is an amazing car🤩🤩
Great video Joe, we had our X45e for 3 months now and completed 4500km. And we did 65% on electric which is remarkable. Above all the X5 is such a nice car to drive and place to be in. Due to Covid no holiday trips yet so not faced the bit small luggage space.
It’s been so good watching you over the past couple of years. I remember you struggling to get anything from BMW UK! Genuinely your video quality and presentation has improved leaps and bounds the past few months. Well done Joe 👍😄.
Thank you Mark that means a lot! Yeah I almost gave this YT nonsense up in 2018, very glad I didn't now! Appreciate your support 👊♥️
great review, excellent explanation in your analysis on the MPGs. love your videos.keep up the good work you do thumbs up
Thanks for sharing Joe. Always love seeing your video's.
Joe started to be one of my favourite car youtubers very quickly. Content is superb Joe !! Much love :)
In Bulgaria I'm driving the new X5 45e, drove it for the whole summer of 2020.
With the Pirelli P 0's, warmed up tarmack and tires, managed to do a 4,89 seconds from 0-62. That is impressive, especially for a 2.5 tone SUV. Every day to day driving is relaxing and enjoyable. Took it on a long journey to Greece and back 2300km it total, couldn't ask for a better experience, and was quite impressed by the economy of the car.
Hoping in the next generation, that BMW will introduce a X5 55e with a V8 and an electric motor I would throw my money at them for one.
Keep up the good work, I really enjoy watching your videos! Greetings from Berlin
0-62, good time, but can’t help thinking going downhill helped.
Had one as a loaner.
Probably the best car I’ve ever driven.
Here we go again Joe!!! Always keeping us in know about literally all bmw's feel like they should hire you in marketing 😊, awesome work
The X5 had really grown over the years. Even looks big next to a 5’10 guy 😜
😂😂😂 I genuinely look about 4 foot next to this weapon 😂
...and then you see an X7 😂
Porsche Cayenne is a short dude. I’m 5’10 and I’m a couple of centimeters taller than my Cayenne.
@@ekological and then you see a full size range rover 😳
Got one of these coming. Can’t wait for it now!
Nice work, Joe....keep it going.
Another great video Joe as usual. Keep up the great content 👍🏻😀
Hi Jo we like Ur channel and content Ur reviews of cars is excellent u all keep safe well look forward to next video
Good job. Can't wait until I get mine 2 weeks from now. Thanks
The way you’ve explained EV and the way it works over long motorway journeys has helped me understand it all, great content Joe 👌🏻
Second that. Not come across anyone else who explains it as well especially the things that need to be considered. Deserves a call up for the next M Town video does Joe!
Been a long time viewer Joe, your reviews/production quality keep getting better. Good job!
I appreciate that! Thank you :-)
Great review. Love to see a 545e review also
Joe, you are a really relaxed and chill guy. I enjoy every time wachting your good vids. Keep up going ;)
Thank you bro ❤️
As always, an excellent and articulate review!
Thank you 👊
Joe...I truly enjoy and value your BMW reviews. You helped immensely in my purchase decision 3 years ago for my '19 BMW 230i xDrive Track Package. We're now considering "downsizing" our vehicles and this x5 45e would seem to be a good fit. Our daily (U.S. based) drives seldom would exceed the claimed 30 miles and we have the ability to install a home charger in our garage for routine overnight charging.
nice review, also nice you named Harry with his Garage
Great stuff as always Joe! Ordered one 2 weeks ago, delivery december. Its gonna be a long wait :)
Thanks Joe, so informative. The X3 30e's range shrinks enough to make this X5 45e model our only hybrid choice for our next car. Our current X3 30i "msport"easily makes the 400 mile journey to our lake cabin where as it would be so disappointing to have to fuel up again to make that same journey with the hybrid X3 version. It's really too early still, and we love our G01, but we'll have to see in what way they improve these models in the near future.
Great Video Joe 👏👌🏻👍
Looks so clean yet aggressive. What a handsome brute
Hello Joe Achilles! I’ve really been enjoying the content on the channel lately. Keep up the great work! 😄
Thanks buddy, appreciate the kind words 👌
@@JoeAchilles1 No problem! I’ll be ready for the new ones when they come!
Great review. Really useful on the real world mpg, which I struggle to decide on next car whether to stick to diesel or a hybrid like this 45e.
Joes gotta be one of the best automotive reviewers out there... particularly for bimmers. Good work! Also, anymore 4 series content coming?
Thank you Will, very kind words mate 🙏 I'm actually getting a 420i long termer in two weeks actually 👌
@@JoeAchilles1 lets goo! Looking forward to it! Hated the grille at first but ngl it is growing on me
@@JoeAchilles1 Lucky you 👍
I got mine a few months back and I absolutely love it
Very informative video Joe, Thanks. Looks like a panoramic roof is a must if you opt for a black interior, the interior is so dark inside without one.
My dad has a 30d black interior with no sunroof and yes it is very dark in the back seats.
Great review! 👍
I have just ordered a 45e in Dravit Grey with Merino Coffee Individual leather and opted for the 22” wheels and added loads of extras and should take delivery in May/June all being well. Something to look forward to in these unprecedented times.😁👍
How is the car?
Nice video, Joe
Great video Joe, I really like these big X5's!! Sadly I couldn't afford one but I am happy with my X3 :)
Anyone can afford one, didnt think I'd afford a Audi A6, bought one, now I drove a X4. You can drive 1 of you want doesn't have to be brand new cause that's a waste of money. Be positive and keep growing
Had mine for a year now and avg 41mpg over 13k miles. Amazing wagon. Ran a merc C350e before it and only got 29mpg over 54k miles.
A C350e got 29mpg??? Did you dragrace at every red light you stopped at?😂
@@john2357 no, battery capacity dropped off so it spent most of its time in petrol mode. After 3 years it was only getting 5 miles range from a full charge.
Done tests on my X5 45e: 550 km at 7,5 litres/100km, 140 km at 3,4 litres/100 km, at minus 8 C I drove 50 km pure electric and had 25% SoC left. Only charged at home in the garage.
Good to know!
@@JoeAchilles1 consumption since new 2 litre/100 km!
Great video of a great. Car. Is the polish you used available from the UK.
Great video as always Joe. As a RRS owner I have to agree that the 45e is a far superior offering to the RRS P400e. A 2ltr lump in a RRS is just wrong and can’t help but think that they’ll rectify that with one of the new straight six engines before long. I’m guessing your quote on the starting point for a RR EV at £91k was based on the Vogue, which in fairness isn’t a direct competitor to X5? The RRS 400e starts at £73, but once loaded with the options most of us would want, the BMW will still have a significant price advantage. My only issue with the latest BMW’s (and for balance I also own an F11 530d touring) is the hideous dash/drivers display arrangement. When it has sat nav info etc showing it just looks a mess IMO. If they could sort that out, it could tempt me away from my RRS.
Love my x5 30d Se with sports seats, 7 seat and tow bar. Will keep this forever and go full EV for the daily soon. And the convertible e46 M3 Smg will also stay in the garage for the sunny weekends😀
Great review, be interesting to see economy from the petrol engine. Pity they don’t do a hybrid diesel like Mercedes, capture higher mileage user too? Great channel Joe and loving the reviews, keep em coming. 👍
Nice video Joe, this is a great hybrid combination. Very compelling. 👌watched Harry Metcalff when he had two goes with this. It probably is the best on the market.
Hi Joe, the 42 mile EV range seems fine for the 24kW battery. Once COVID is over, most Execs driving these to the office will have a charger, to fill the battery for their journey home. Charge at home overnight from a normal plug, no problem. Effectively providing an EV for the week, with the performance and range for the weekend. Seems perfect as a transition for now.
your channel is under rated. Looking forward to more content in the future! You remind me of Chris from the "newer" top gear.
Thank you buddy, appreciate the kind words! ♥️
Typically mine will run about 30 miles on electric range. Temperature seems to affect the range, needless to say cold weather reduces the range. Overall pleased with the car.
Excellent review. I am considering one of these to replace my BMW 330e next year. One comment on your section talking about range and the claimed mpg, I have run my 330e for nearly 3 years and I track all of my mileage and electric use as I can claim my mileage back. Over the last year, I have got an average of 105mpg over just under 12k miles. The 330e has a claimed electric range of 25 miles but the most I have achieved is 18 and regularly get 15-16 miles. Due to the regeneration ability, even on long journeys, I have always managed to get at least 50% of my journey using pure electric. Ironically, Sport mode is more economical because the battery regen is much more aggressive. This is where these vehicles excel. The maximum I have got out of a 40 litre tank is 1045 miles, the lowest being 485 miles but that was due to me also using the car as a blue light response vehicle. The only other comment would be the affect of the cold weather. When it’s freezing, I lose about 10% of my range. I believe most EV’s also suffer from this. Again, excellent review and a very nice car.
Nearly 500 miles on a smaller tank compared to its combustion only counterparts is still amazing
Hi Joe, great reviews! Would you get one of these or a GLE 350 de? Real world driving for all types, what would it be?
Joe, great video as usual :) when do you take delivery of your G80 M3 smd when should we expect press driving reviews of the G8x M3/M4... It's been a while since reveal!
I own one and love it
How does it compare to the X34.oi which you loved? I'm loving your videos good to see someone tall in the videos as I often bang my head on parts of cars and I'm only 6'2
I have mine nearly 4 weeks, it’s a stunning car to drive. A really beauty, stylish and so comfortable.
How's the handling? I'm thinking of getting one
@@ananthans82 amazing and effortless
I have a 530e and love the hybrid feature. Never use gas while I'm running errands downtown (where I live).
Love your BMW reviews Joe even though you are a BMW fan you are always completely impartial and I cant waitfor you to review an Alpina B3 as you love a performance wagon and for all I've seen so far from other reviewers I think you'd prefer the suspension set up.
Thanks Dave! Until ALPINA UK change, I won't have any on my channel unfortunately.
Love the X5 45e 🤍
Watching Joe makes me forget about the Covid madness in the world
That's one of the nicest comments ever! Thank you ♥️🙏
appropriately here because lockdowns are designed to achieve climate change goals and they are not going away. Covid that is indeed madness, it is just a false flag to scare the children so they do as they are told and it works...!
@@ascott2264 Ok Boomer
Living in Australia makes me forget about the COVID nonsense also
@@CertifiedSlamboy this aged well
When is Tony TRL deals going to offer something on one of these, fancy chopping in my X3 for one
How do you compare it with a Cayenne hybrid? We currently have an old Cayenne, we actually take it on light off-road trails. But we are certainly looking at better every day driving. Also an X5 45e might pair well with an old E60 M5.
I’ve had the 530e 2019 plate at woth out electric charge it’s pants on few 28mpg driving like miss daisy and in comfort/eco pro. My old XC90 d5 is similar mpg and it’s a 2t plus 7 seater.
The electric hybrid works on short journeys like you say and company car tax makes sense.
Another great review Joe, In Ireland here because of the crippling vehicle registration tax that car is over 100k euro. So I would think the 30d is a much more realistic option for rural dweller
After watching about a dozen video reviews for the X5 e, yours Joe is by far superior. You’ve got an authentic way about your review, super informative and engaging. (plus a little eye candy never hurts)
Haha thank you Jason! Always lovely receiving positive feedback 👌
Joe, do you know if the combined power is always available even when the battery is "depleted"? I know that the T8 volvos never really complety drain so that overtaking etc. can always use all power.
Just picked up my 45e...i love it!
Bought it at 3:30pm & paper work took an hour to complete. A woman came storming in at 4:30pm yelling at everyone when she learned "my X5" was sold. Totally bitching at everyone while i drove off shaking my head...🤷🏻♂️😜
Congrats! My local BMW dealer has 3 pending orders waiting on allocations..don't know if I could get one "done" / firmed up before year-end at this point.
Setting the charge you desire to keep for as you said driving then slowly through London isn't a false eonomy at all, genuius actually. Means on the motorway at 70 mph your combustion engine is running at it's most efficient, and then in town, the more efficient electric powertrain kicks in where the combustion engine would be struggling at 15-20 mpg. Very clever, though amazed it isn't automated...! Great video.
Dear Joe, love your reviews ! Can you please do the review of the new Mild Hybrid X5 30d - very courius how does it work there..
I’ve seen your test of 530d MH - interesting if its that good in X5 also.
Best, C
Great review Joe. A pleasure to watch. In regard to your comparison to the Range Rover P400e though the price you quote is for the full size Range Rover whereas the obvious comparison would be with the Sport which is less money than the figure you quote. X5 better overall though because of bigger battery & V6 3.0 engine.
Joe, there is a big misunderstanding on how the overall power train works, after the EV range is gone, doesn’t mean the battery is dead, the boost is always there. Looks like you too went by your gut feeling than validating how actually it works. Plus within few miles the battery charges quickly to claw back some EV range… BTW I own this car. Outside of extreme cold weather this SUV can do 480-500 miles of combined range! That’s bladder busting for sure 😅
Now that is a CAR!!!
Please review the Z4 Joe
Great video Joe!
I picked up one of these last month as needed a larger family car. The pano roof is definitely the option to go for, my daughter loves it.
My daily journey is about 20 miles a day in non motorway traffic so I’m only using the electric option. But will do longer journeys when lockdown is lifted to see family etc. So for us is ideal as I can charge it overnight but have the option to do a longer journey when needed with the petrol engine.
I did a round trip from west london to Bristol and back and used the full charge plus a quarter tank of fuel which isn’t bad.
My Audi S5 would’ve used well over half the tank!
Great to hear! A pan roof is a must in something like this on family duties 👌 Interesting to hear about your journeys too! Cheers
@@JoeAchilles1 100% with the pano roof! I think my main criticism with the car is the rear space isn’t great for a car this size. Q7 would’ve been my first choice for spaciousness however the hybrid range isn’t very impressive at claimed 28 miles and at the time of ordering was only available in sport trim which compared to the s5 is very basic in terms of creature comforts and as the range is less then 30 miles it wasn’t congestion charge exempt.
Was considering this but ordered a 30d Msport. I just believe that diesel is (still) the best choice for heavy cars/suvs.
Next car might just be fully electric when technology gets better (5-10 years to go) as I am not an early adopter regarding tech.
Does the engine & regenerative breaking recharge the battery once it’s depleted from the plug in charge so that it continues to operate as a hybrid? My use case is one charge and the drive 250-350 miles in the day. I have a hybrid now that I average 40mpg mixed driving. Any ideas what this would get for that same use case?
Even your sponsorship stuff is interesting!
Thank you :-)
Would be interested to know what you think of 545e vs this, being the same enginge setup but lighter?
You should try the 330e, it’s awesome. Much more sporty
That 45e combines every comfy aspect of a 6 pot, an electric motor and an SUV. Relaxing ride, enough power, good economy if you charge it regularly. Obviously you won't enjoy this rallying up the Alps. It's just great for what it is. I prefer the 330e, because it shows how sporty a hybrid can be.
Late viewing this episode - where these hydrids work is to charge at home on night tariff (typically 10p/kwhr). Meaning charge every night at home at cost of £2.40 for daily journey of approximately 40 miles. Great value if purchase price is ignored.
Keep safe.
Advice please. Have a current 730d. Want an X5 45e next. Is it as comfy ( with air ride) as a 7...
So what if you don’t drive enough for a diesel. What would your advise be? Hybride or petrol?
What's your opinion on the new GLE 350de 4MATIC?
Great video joe!! Bit late to the party here 🙄, seriously contemplating a bm hybrid - either a x5 e45 or 545e, just a bit put off by petrol engine being detuned 😬. Think I might miss the performance a bit, would be coming out of a f40 m135i which is brill but just want something a bit bigger for next year, need to have a good old think 🤔 545e or 550i 😃😍😍
I'm looking at one of these X5 45e's coming from an M550i. TT V8's are a blast, great torque, sound amazing, but the insurance cost imo is sort of ridiculous. Hard to comprehend $2000+ a year on a single vehicle with a clean record... If its much cheaper to insure, I might be in a plug in hybrid next year.
Not a fan of SUVs in general, or EVs for that matter, but gotta agree with this. The X5 45e does make a lot of sense with very few compromises....if you have a home charger!
Totally agree!
Hi Joe, can this be tuned? If so, which do you recommend
I just tested 3.0d version of x5, so not sure... I like it. so 45e better choice?
Great video joe!! A bit disappointed the petrol engine is detuned 😢, kinda put me off a bit. I take it the 545e will be the same? Oh well just need to wait for the m440i GC 😂
Engine tune and full bolt ons on that B58. 500 hp hybrid sounds interesting.
i bought a p45e and im getting nearly 1200 miles to the tank full.i use the car everyday and 85 % of my journeys are on electric only so in the real world they work very very well my range rover i was in the gas station every 7 days so im saving money all over
WOOOOOOOOOOOW
When you got in, don’t ask me why but I was expecting a rumble from the exhaust Joe 🙄
Haha I purposely set off in electric on this one, sorry to disappoint 😉
Hi the last coat is a great products .
Are there no stockists in the UK for the last coat ? I was going to order one of there kits but can't be bothered to wait weeks and just cross my fingers hoping it arrives
Only direct from them, my stuff took about a week to arrive, definitely worth the wait 👌
Thank you for an interesting real world, hands-on review of the 45e.
Mmm, interesting, thanks Joe, love it mpg is a joke then, got it.
Funnily enough I have a black G05 30d, I used the last coat start of last year and it’s been fantastic, still beading away
Ha that's awesome to hear! I thankfully get offers from various companies to sponsor videos these days, that allows me to go with the ones I actually stand behind, chuffed to have some very good detailing kit now 👌
@@JoeAchilles1 was genuinely surprised by how good it is. I only intended to have it on as an interim solution until I could get a full ceramic coating. But lockdown happened and Tbf it’s actually held up really well and if anything, may just need a top up coat. I need some interior cleaner so will use your code for that
I wonder if the constant cycling of the combustion engine on and off will kill the engine quickly in the long term.
Nice review, and corresponds w my experience. Had one for three months now, my daily drive is a litle longer, so I get 6.5 liters/100. Out of 7000km, half have been fully electric. This percentage is rising since I discovered the joys of full electric driving when I can, over the hybrid setting. On the highway I drive it sporty, so overall I think the numbers are great for my driving profile. I charge at home overnight. I agree with others that it does take careful consideration of what your daily use will be, as there is definitely a sweet spot, and there are lesser than sweet spots. Other than that, what is not to like about the car. My family loves, it, my wife loves driving it as well.
I have one. I get 85mpg from it ... on average! Astonishing car.
Really enjoyed this review Joe as we are thinking of swapping our x3mc for the X5 and this model was an opinion - so was good to hear your thoughts on it!!
Thanks mate
Great film. Isn't that the same bit of road in the Cotswolds that Harry uses for his handling tests? We should all realise that the official fuel consumption test is a laboratory test which is a very very good test for comparing one car to another "in a laboratory test" only. In fact, you can't really argue with it. Shame it doesn't relate to real-world on the road conditions, but then you could never do that realistically - far too many variables!
if i have no electrical charger at home, it is no point to buy this one then? Or if the hybrid can run itself liked a japanese car?
