I own this X5 M50i V8TT and it is a rockstar in everything it does. This is a luxury/performance SUV that will absolutely embarrass unsuspecting sports cars. It’s that fast. I drove them all before ordering a fully loaded Carbon Black with ivory Merino interior. No air suspension in mine and the M performance suspension is exactly what you want yet still plush on long road trips. The M performance brakes is also enormous and stops this big SUV like a little M car. Laser lights are next level amazing. It way out classed the Cayenne Turbo in its build quality and tech . Performance felt about the same but the grunt of BMW’s V8TT felt stronger everywhere in the revs. I agree as to the upcoming X5M as it’s far too extreme for a luxury/performance SUV and may be a liability on long trips because of its low hanging radiators. At no time do I ever feel like I want/need any more power. It’s already a beast. FYI: I am getting sub 4 seconds 0-60mph via Draggy times and NOT using launch control. Great review.
Love mine, fully optioned with phytonic blue on full coffee merino leather, I only regret not getting the diamond surround sound instead of the Harmon kardon system (which is still okay). Best option I got was the alcantara roof, last minute, and really adds to the interior
@@crustyrustymayo4716 I don’t feel like it. The laser only kick in when auto high beams is on and speed > 60km/h. Which means their usage is very limied. Plus I don't notice any difference between laser and standard LED from another BMW.
Just picked up one as well, and I agree with everything you said. Also I have a feeling the merino leather package is much more comfortable than the M seats.. which you don’t need M seats in a car that already has adjustable bolsters.. plus its an SUV lol
I like the exhaust note, plus the V8 feels like a big block V8....I don't mind the active steering, really appreciate it in tighter underground parking.. Very happy with my 2021.
Marks is literally at 230km/hr and relaxed driving the car with almost one hand now if that's not insane I don't know what, this cars stability is on another level for an SUV
Excellent point about the active steering. You are not the first person to mention it. Just customed ordered one and left that option out. Great review
I bought a 2020 X5 M50i 2.5 months ago. It was "built" last week, and I'm expecting delivery on Jan 30th, 2020. Alpine white, Coffee brown leather, open-pore anthracite poplar wood trim, Bowers & Wilkins 20-speaker stereo, and air suspension. I absolutely cannot wait for it to arrive. Thanks for doing this review. Lots of X5 (low end) reviews, lots of X7 reviews, and even a few X6 reviews.... but the specific X5 M50i is an important car... not sure why no thorough reviews have been done yet. It's important, because you get the "power" of an M car, but without all the harshness, noise, and high insurance premiums. I could not agree with you more that this car is actually "all-around" better than an X5M. It's an SUV, and even in "full blown M form", it is still never going to handle like a sportscar, so why bother? Enjoy the luxury SUV for what it was intended for; Luxury. And.... enjoy knowing the fact that acceleration is damn-near supercar levels when you want it. My only complaint, is that while there are plenty of Idrive reviews, there are NOT a lot of reviews on the Bowers & Wilkins stereo. It's a $4000+ upgrade, and not many people are willing to spend that much on a stereo upgrade. I am. Music is THAT important to me. Your tester has the B&W stereo. I would have loved to hear your opinion on it, particularly compared to the standard Harman Kardon. Otherwise.... great video. Thank you!
I have same car but with Harman and i only have 2 options missing, one which i dont regret which is rear entertaiment (kids use ipads now will rather have ipad holder options) other option which i regret is B&W speakers, now reason i didnt get cause there was no car in stock that have it, but they had one for demo, i kept going back and forth between the 2 testing speakers tbh i couldnt tell which is better using normal itunes songs or spotify, they both sounded great hence i decided not to wait for just this option, but i keep thinking i wish i had it..... so i will say go for it (it looks nicer at night, 2nd it cant be worse than harman), its expensive but if its the only option missing why not get it?
I hope you enjoy your M50i mate! B&W stereo is incredible BTW. Many owners and reviewers said it's a great stereo and worth it's high price, so yeah it should be bloody brilliant.
@@marcellukacic5221 thanks. I know the H/K system is a fine system. My last 3-series was equipped with it. But, I still felt the need to do a full Bavsound upgrade. I've been trying to get to the level of the Bang & Olufsen I had in my old S8.... and to date, nothing has come close. I'm hopeful this B&W will meet my needs. Fingers crossed.
I test drove both and purchased the adaptive m suspension, my preference and felt in my norther climate chances of issues with compressor lines freezing up were worth avoiding.
Have had mine since November and it has become my daily driver. Have been a Mercedes family for over twenty years but have not been impressed with their latest releases so we made the move. My M50i was purchsed off a lot and has every major option except the BW sound system. This car is an absolute beast! Nimble, explosive and extremely comfortable. Options i would stay away from: DAP....i woukd rather drive than be driven. 22" wheels....i feel there is a little more road feedback than i like and god forbid you hit a pothole; they look incredible though.
@Arno Oganesian I was disappointed in the redesign of the GLS and GLE. I still own Mercedes Sedans but moved away from their SUVs. Mercedes has always been number one for me when it came to family wagons but the lack of competition made them lazy. Bmw, Audi, Range, Porsche....i could go on, have all came on strong in 2019 and Mercedes still looks like the same wagon ive been driving for the past 10 years.
@@christophhazy8080 opted for dynamic handling package. Being this is my first BMW I can not advise for or against it, however others who have driven it tell me that it is incredible and they notice it right away. The car is really fun to drive and I love the look. A year out and zero regrets.
Active steering is a sick thing bro, it's just a matter of getting used to. I had E60 550i with active steering and it was so so useful on high speeds, and when u on low speed your brain and hands remember it with time so its like natural feeling after some short time! Once you get used to it, you always want that! Great car, super nice inside and outside. The only things i don't like 1)reer lights 2) boring steering wheel
Awesome car, I have 1 in the USA with M Sport exhaust and de-restricted, haven't given it the full beans yet, but i can drag off many Porches, Mercs and Audi's no problem.
Max,nice review as always..just two questions M50d or M50i...also air suspension or M professional suspension? Please,i need your advice..im just about to make an order?
If you really were about to make an order you would know the difference between a petrol or a diesel engine, and you wouldn't wait for a youtuber's answer for signing a +100k€ check :)
Mickael D. I think you are an idiot..and i didnt asked you for opinion,but the guy whe has drove both,as i am..but i wanted his opinion..btw i will contact you in 3 months with video of my new beast..and you will still live your pathetic life...
Roko Bašić the m50i is almost better in every way. The thing with the m50d is that it has 4 turbos with inline 6 and the engine wouldn’t not live as much as the v8. The v8 is amazing and flexible, it is also doesn’t sip too much gas. Just get the m50i and u will probably will get a better resale value u won’t regret it since it has a great speed and great 0-100
Thnx for such a great review - I ordered my m50i (Arctic Grey) with BW stereo upgrade, carbon interior trim, (boring) black leather, sunroof, 742's 22"wheels plus a couple packs and additional bits and it was an easy decision after this superbly detailed review. Thnx guys!
@@ruikosta5083 yes it arrived earlier than expected (late Sept). I kept with the standard M suspension as I wanted more control/Road feel and it doesn’t disappoint - I thought the air suspension was too bouncy plus you had to add another (2nd) option if choosing the Air Suspension (something to do with steering).
X3 and x5 are really great cars, I went for x3 due to size as x5 is challenging for European cities after comparing a lot of cars in its class. Only complain is lame connected drive and BMW charging for everything for couple hundreds of dollars per year after earning thousands. Really not good business model so next time I will compare that part as well.
Hi Max, you stated that there is an air suspension on this car, which I done believe is correct. BMW does not offer air suspension on the M models. there is an adaptive suspension, but no air suspension. Otherwise, good review, as always. thanks.
No Max is correct, I just bought one. There are 3 types of suspension. The standard M adaptive, the full air suspension and the M adaptive Professional
I rated it 4/5 because it does not look so luxurious. It just looks like a normal car, kind of like a Subaru outback. But I do really like the the x5 m50i and i would love to own one
Hello Max! I wanted to thank you very much for the excellent work you do through your tests, it is always a real pleasure to see them and especially to hear your comments and especially your feelings, and more particularly on the X5 M50i; I was looking for a fast and efficient SUV and when I saw your video, my choice was made! On this subject, I wanted to ask you if the model you tried had the option "Soundproof Glass"? I intend to order and I wanted to know if the one in your essay had it! thank you for your answer and see you soon Max for reading.
Ooo rev on HUD - love it :D Nice car and lovely V8 sound ;) Ps. Yeah that gearbox is super, i like it much more than any DSG and it's albo much more durable :)
Love the new G05 X5 but think the M50i package is an overkill but surely it has a lot of followers! In my opinion my favorite is with the 6 cylinder twin turbo xDrive40i with the M performance package.
Yes love the comments on the exhaust. So true and the very reason I dropped this car from my list after driving. Moved over to the Jaguar F-Pace SVR :-) I lover Autobahns and wish my turf had one.
Does your tester have the dynamic handling package equipped? I hear that package is necessary on this car. Also please test the 40i variant. I am curious how well that performs.
Kiplin Gordon the 40i has way less power , this has 530 hp that has 334 hp , the 40i gets to 100 in 5.5 seconds this one in around 4.2 . So there you go .
The M50i is available with 3 suspension options: 1) Standard adaptive suspension 2) Dynamic handling package 3) 2 axle air suspension with integral active steering. This car had #3... so it can be a bit "floaty" but is super comfortable. It also allows 5-way height adjustment with a switch in the car. The DHP provides better handling and cornering... but no height adjustment. The standard adaptive suspension is fine for most people. It's what comes on the car without options. I got the air suspension because I need an ultra soft suspension where I live due to road conditions.... but I do recognize that my handling suffered from it. If I lived somewhere with smooth roads, I would have gotten the DHP. So... DHP isn't really "necessary".... it just depends on how you want to use the car.
cosmiqueorg Cognac with carbon fiber would’ve looked great. Definitely better than that aluminum. I’m young and I think aluminum looks cheapish for an inlay.
Please someone explain to me, completely unbiased, what's cool about SUVs. I couldn't care less about emissions, but I have a hard time believing someone would prefer the looks of these unnecessarily big cars instead of a nice coupe or sedan. I don't even think that sport SUVs should exist because from my perspective, these look far from sporty. A coupe or sedan does that way more.
Its like saying G63 is bulky not useful design or good economy or space or performance, yet its selling crazy..... same for SUVs its one of those cars once you get you always want the same.... the idea that your legs sitting in normal position than straight into pedals, or being high compared to others, or be able to go anywhere without worry, and for ladies for some reason they seem more safe in SUVs.... me personally i prefer sports cars but i must have SUV in the garage, it ticks all the boxes for me if you get a high end one like this X5, they drive now like sedans and amazingly good
Stop using gopros. Hire a cameraman with some cool canon cameras . It wont cost you much but you will get a nice video quality . And the viewers might also like it .
Depends on what you are buying it for. If you want the fastest SUV then Model X is the wagon for you. Luxury plus Power....Porsche and Range are more plush and roomy but significantly more money. M50i is the best of both worlds...Power and Luxury for under 100k.

Rightfully so, when I see "luxury" SUVs I think to myself what a waste. Whatever wealthy idiot that's driving this could have bought a nice sports car for that amount of money.
@@DigitalDissident Some people value comfort and convenience over performance. And if the luxury SUVs you're alluding to are owned by car enthusiasts I can guarantee they also have at least one nice sports car at home.

3) 2 axle air suspension with integral active steering.
This car had #3... so it can be a bit "floaty" but is super comfortable. It also allows 5-way height adjustment with a switch in the car.
The DHP provides better handling and cornering... but no height adjustment.
The standard adaptive suspension is fine for most people. It's what comes on the car without options.
I got the air suspension because I need an ultra soft suspension where I live due to road conditions.... but I do recognize that my handling suffered from it.
If I lived somewhere with smooth roads, I would have gotten the DHP.
So... DHP isn't really "necessary".... it just depends on how you want to use the car.
That steering wheel looks like it doesn't belong there. 👍
without a doubt the best looking suv on the market
The only 1% of people who rated 1/5 and 2/5 are Mercedes fanboys
Naah im a merc fanboy and I rate this car over the current GLE
Active steering doesnt exist anymore though? It’s integral active steering( 4wheel steering)
This or the X3M comp?
X3m is too harsh or a ride
Please do the BMW M8 Competition
Do a Nissan GT-R plz
X5 is rl nice.
Music please
New X3 looks better. It has much better proportions.

Wat bedoel je met privacy glass?
Sounds more like a v8, compared to the m series. Looks fine to me outside, cluster,yukkkk.
A very cool car
Not at all.
Rate 💯
Tartufo and wood better than black and alu?? Yeah sure, if you're like 95 years old maybe.
cosmiqueorg Cognac with carbon fiber would’ve looked great. Definitely better than that aluminum. I’m young and I think aluminum looks cheapish for an inlay.
Shouldn't that be a lower case "m"50i
M8 when?
4:22 yoooooo???!!!😟💀📸📸📸🎥
Nächste Auto mit H Kennzeichen wäre mal was😋👍🏽
This is not The same as The m5 That is x5m
Changed colour to white and black details, after seeing the car in that boring grey. Interior in Cognac 👍
When you have uber passenger, but have to do a car review.
Please someone explain to me, completely unbiased, what's cool about SUVs. I couldn't care less about emissions, but I have a hard time believing someone would prefer the looks of these unnecessarily big cars instead of a nice coupe or sedan. I don't even think that sport SUVs should exist because from my perspective, these look far from sporty. A coupe or sedan does that way more.
space?
Its like saying G63 is bulky not useful design or good economy or space or performance, yet its selling crazy..... same for SUVs its one of those cars once you get you always want the same.... the idea that your legs sitting in normal position than straight into pedals, or being high compared to others, or be able to go anywhere without worry, and for ladies for some reason they seem more safe in SUVs.... me personally i prefer sports cars but i must have SUV in the garage, it ticks all the boxes for me if you get a high end one like this X5, they drive now like sedans and amazingly good
Do car brands lend you cars for you to take the test?
with this power,may run>260 km/h.obvious,is speed limited.
what you say is true.
Joker,thank you
Nice
You should drive a C32 amg 2002 v6
역시 BMW
Stop using gopros. Hire a cameraman with some cool canon cameras . It wont cost you much but you will get a nice video quality . And the viewers might also like it .
If money was no issue would you go for this or the Cayenne Turbo?
Depends on what you are buying it for. If you want the fastest SUV then Model X is the wagon for you. Luxury plus Power....Porsche and Range are more plush and roomy but significantly more money. M50i is the best of both worlds...Power and Luxury for under 100k.
@@Caddy92680 have driven the Porsche Cayenne turbo vs m50i?
Are driving dynamics similar? Comfort? Would you recommend air suspension or m sport suspension in m50i?

In a car park nobody would look twice at that.....which could be a good thing.
Rightfully so, when I see "luxury" SUVs I think to myself what a waste. Whatever wealthy idiot that's driving this could have bought a nice sports car for that amount of money.
@@DigitalDissident Some people value comfort and convenience over performance. And if the luxury SUVs you're alluding to are owned by car enthusiasts I can guarantee they also have at least one nice sports car at home.
