Amazingly irrelevant. The next time you see an actual owner of one of these vehicles fording a river, plowing through a sand dune, or climbing over the rocks at Moab in his or her X5M, snap a picture, because it will be the first and only such photograph in existence. Testing the off road bona fides of a $130,000 vehicle makes about as much sense as testing the effectiveness of birth control devices in a nursing home.
Out of the two, I'd go for the X6M. However, I'd really save some money and go for the X6M50i. OK! It's performance is not quite up with the X6M, but it's more comfortable and has one BIG added bonus. The X6M50i has the rear wheel steering that the massive wheels of the X6M cannot handle. Oh! Next time you close the rear end of the X5, just press the "close" button on the top tailgate. Then the whole of the tailgate, even the bottom section, closes electronically.
Every time I see an X5M I know I made the right choice. I love Big Body Brenda. This is my fav vehicle ever!! I the soft close doors when my little ones are sleeping is amazing. The privacy shades. My wife sits in the back all the time. Best vehicle for me.
Thank you for coming to beautiful Arizona, I am hope you enjoyed the landscape. And just like everybody else mentioned that was no River Crossing that was a creek but I understand it wasn't up to TFL that was BMW who set that up.
I just want everyone to really test and experience what xdrive stands for. My x1 traction control is ridiculously good, have seen so many big off road cars with wheel spin but not mine.
By prepare the roads they mean smooth the road an create a little stream with a flat bed of Pebblesthat they can actually cross if anyone thinks this thing can actually even kinda did more than that ur being fooled
@5:49 I guess people don’t realize that you don’t have to push the button on the bottom tailgate to close it. Just simply press the button on the top tailgate, and it closes both of them at once.
Omegas Archangel nice, I’ve done the bmw experience with the x5 in Spartanburg and those vehicles are very capable. They get water coming up to the doors and other extreme maneuvers.
The X6M front end looks way better but I just wish BMW would make an actual off-road version of these vehicles. I'd rather have a lifted SUV V6 with 300 hp, 20mpg city than a 600hp SUV that gets 13mpg, not to mention we all know the V8 version of BMW is very unreliable.
Poor Andre, getting hauled off by the sheriff because you got the launch wrong - or did you eat the sheriff's lunch?😊 I find the X6 more appealing than the X5 or the rest of the competition.

The X5 with off-road pack is capable than ever, but this? X5M is lower by a lot and is harsher, and the tires are so thin and no traction from those tires
although this wasn t a proper offroad test (would also need proper tyres for that), the reality is that it was BMW to create all the technology for non ther than landrover for offroad, when it belonged to BMW
These junkets are always the same and boring. Pay to put reviewers up in nice places, hire a bunch of experts to drive around and guide you through 5 inches of water in your 6 figure vehicle, rinse and repeat so soccer moms can say their SUVs are real off-roaders. You guys need to do better and demand better.

I'm pretty sure you could've done that same "river crossing" in a Toyota Corolla.
Yes and a mid 90s Subaru Legacy SUS (Sport Utility Sedan)

Crosses a puddle and calls it off road. Wrong! :)
vvk lmao bro ！
That's right you need an X5M to cross that river.
carwow just did 3.4 man，gotta practice
On a steep hill even
He needs to practice to launch a BMW because it's not that easy
Yeah, 3.4 sec down hill and 3.5 sec up hill ! So fast ! Much Faster than this review !
Matsaka Mohlaloga it’s turbo. Just use the break pedal to build a bit of boost and the gearbox will do the rest.
That BMW when crossing the stream "Awe maaann! I got dirt in my rims!"
Crossing a river...my ass. The puddle at the end of my road is deeper
I'm still waiting on that offroad test!!
Every time I see an X5M I know I made the right choice. I love Big Body Brenda. This is my fav vehicle ever!! I the soft close doors when my little ones are sleeping is amazing. The privacy shades. My wife sits in the back all the time. Best vehicle for me.
I just screamed at Big Body Brenda. 😅 This comment alone solidified my decision to buy this vehicle next week over the X5MC!
I’ve seen those cars doing a 3.4 0-60
Also the Tesla doesn’t have a 175 mph top speed
"That's the one."
- Andre Smirnoff 2020
Offroad? Really?
Rodrigo Pinto exactly
Yea, sorta BS.
Buy one and proof it for yourself! 🤣🤣🤣
Not what I expected to see today, but It's definitely interesting to see.
Thank you for coming to beautiful Arizona, I am hope you enjoyed the landscape. And just like everybody else mentioned that was no River Crossing that was a creek but I understand it wasn't up to TFL that was BMW who set that up.
Beautiful cars...now I just need to sell my house to afford one. Lol
Do it!! houses are no fun they’re both liabilities so pick the cheaper liability lol
Wait 5 yrs and they are dirt cheap
you can live in your car but you can't drive your house.
These are only for drug dealers
@@zachf355 yeah but the maintenance cost are 💸💸💸
I just want everyone to really test and experience what xdrive stands for. My x1 traction control is ridiculously good, have seen so many big off road cars with wheel spin but not mine.
I’m not sure about the M ! But the regular X5s yes they are
By prepare the roads they mean smooth the road an create a little stream with a flat bed of Pebblesthat they can actually cross if anyone thinks this thing can actually even kinda did more than that ur being fooled
guess i missed the offroad part.
The paint on the x6 is phenomenal
I could cross that river with a beetle 😂
You forgot the biggest competitor and better one too, Audi RSQ8
Rs is the uglier and worse
@@fcex558 But I bet, you are that person that glorifies the Cayenne, Bentayga and Urus not knowing they are all based on the Q7, clown
I love how the “wild west” is northeast Cave Creek that’s filled with multimillion dollar estates in gated country club communities
These Big BMW's are getting very popular.. I see lots a BMW products where I live...not sure if iv seen this one yet..thanks Andre
It's all anyone drives here in Bucharest.
Very nice SUV's indeed ... off-road trial.... hilarious.... makes me feel like my 520d could ride along them any time 😂😂😂
Nice, big up from South Africa.
@5:49 I guess people don’t realize that you don’t have to push the button on the bottom tailgate to close it. Just simply press the button on the top tailgate, and it closes both of them at once.
Yes, that works too.
I’ll take the x5 in that purple color. Thanks.
I know it's a BMW and they can't off-road if your life depends on it but, in Romania, that can be considered a road in some parts of the country ...
That off-road drive was so cute!
The one I would choose it the AMG GLE 63s
Alex with the ugly plastic side？
I would say any car could do that “off road” trail and water “fording”.
Would like to see how they do after 100000 miles
Hahaha, I think in 10.000 miles .
I think in 10.000 miles it's to far for 100.000.
Andre the X5M probably has enough room in the back for your horses😉
Always great reviews and only getting better!
Mercedes upgraded it's AWD 4matic to the 4WD 4matic+.
And BMW upgraded it's AWD Xdrive to the 4WD M Xdrive.
They're so fast. I want to see them race.
So, I've done some research and the M Xdrive is an open differential with a 40/60 power split. So in the BMW's case it's actually still AWD.
Them rims on the X5...
Matthew Jacobs yes, go on and finish your statement......
jet052673 you as well.....
That X6M can actually do a 0-60 in less than 3.7s,watch carwow by Matt Watson.
I love your content TFL,you do a great job everytime.
Both can definitely go faster than advertised. Joe Achilles got 3.60 on a 2021 X5MC. 😊
I just ordered my 2020 X5M
How do you like it so far?
Thinking of ordering a 2021 but not sure x5m or x6m
Can they swap their front bumpers ?
X5M with X6M front bumper
My Camry can do this “off road “ trail as well
A yaris will do it plus even a harder trail
Here comes these guys who kill the moment.. these things can do more capable than that in their non M variants.
FINALLY, BMW!
Please let me try it on the 1.6 diesel golf Fwd
To me a real off-road SUV is the one that can take me out of the jungle. Bring these cars to Africa we will put them to the test with pleasure 😉
Any water above them intakes and that engine is toast.
Drive it for a few weeks and you’ll learn all the annoyances. Chime for this and a chime for that.
matt watson tested that x6 m at that exact place with that exact car
**I think**
you neglected to put the vehicles on M mode to do the 0-60. If you had, you would have had low 3's on the 0-60 runs.
man off road ，the water in the side radiator makes me wanna die
Actually it’s 3.6 with the x6m comp and 3.8 with x5m comp
Its cool and all, but the back seats are really tight. I own a bmw my boys over 6’ tall and they have trouble getting in and out the back
river crossing?
How come no one compares the x5m and/or the gle63 to the Range Rover SVR? Like bruh they go hand on hand
Holy hell. 3.82 is crazy (Edit: 3.71)
Great video guys! Love the 🐎 like the wild West
How does X6 compare with the Maserati Levante Trofeo?
The water crossing every VW Golf would have made.
Crazy that I found the horse to be more cool
CarWow had the same X6M, small world.
What is the MBTCB on those cars?
(Miles before timing chain breaks)
Great job Andre!
Go to the bmw experience in Greenville and see what they can really do off road.
Its actually in Spartanburg SC.
Omegas Archangel , correct. I live around the corner from the place in Greer.
@@CrispusAttucks2315 That's cool, I actually pass through Greer everyday headed to the BMW plant.
Omegas Archangel nice, I’ve done the bmw experience with the x5 in Spartanburg and those vehicles are very capable. They get water coming up to the doors and other extreme maneuvers.
@@CrispusAttucks2315 Ill have to see if i get a discount since I work at BMW. I would love to see what the vehicles I help build can do.
"Competition". I want to see an X5/6M competition. Make it RallyCross.
It’s interesting. Matt from Carwow did the 0-60 in 3.4
Auto Speed He was going downhill and also altitude plays a part here too
jalmonte91 well we don’t really have altitude here in Phoenix so that shouldn’t matter.
He did both ways. Downhill, but also uphill. The difference was +0.1 seconds uphill (3.5)
They are good on the streets but they are Not off road vehicles....They do not have low diff gear to climb....bit they are super fast vehicles!!!💯
But why would you race an SUV? If you want a fast car, get an M3 or M5.
The X6M front end looks way better but I just wish BMW would make an actual off-road version of these vehicles. I'd rather have a lifted SUV V6 with 300 hp, 20mpg city than a 600hp SUV that gets 13mpg, not to mention we all know the V8 version of BMW is very unreliable.
Anyone know the purple color code?
X6m for city and mountain?
I don't even count it unless starts to ford as two feet. Three feet plus you make the big boy list.
i love both of this cars.
But i would go with the gle63s because the interior
That X6 is beautiful 😍
Thank you very much for video bmw good car 🌺🌺🇸🇦
I have to wait 5 years for that
Can drive in water flood 900mm?
90cm? If it has door seals yes
FX haha like a Land Rover 🤣🤣
youll destroy the electronics
@@RK1FX doorseals aside... 90cm of water... wheres the air intake position in these things?
is there Bmw x7M??? because Mercedes GLS 63 amg is waiting for it
Yes there is an x7m
How much oil do they leak?
I always found that the BMW X6 was fugly
I'm sure that sheriffs expedition has a nice V8
Imagine getting pulled over by your local PD in a X5 M
Poor Andre, getting hauled off by the sheriff because you got the launch wrong - or did you eat the sheriff's lunch?😊 I find the X6 more appealing than the X5 or the rest of the competition.
Isn’t this a bit like taking the Jeep trackhawk off-road?!? I.E they have models more suited for this stuff. I mean you’re not paying for the cars so go for it but yeah
Damn beautiful SUV's! Loving that purple look actually.
😆great intro!
The X5 with off-road pack is capable than ever, but this? X5M is lower by a lot and is harsher, and the tires are so thin and no traction from those tires
although this wasn t a proper offroad test (would also need proper tyres for that), the reality is that it was BMW to create all the technology for non ther than landrover for offroad, when it belonged to BMW
X5m for off-road?
I have done more off roading in my old M3 E36 when driving in Monument valley during a rainstorm ... I had water up to the side skirts :)
Compare please x6m vs trawhawk jeep
Who by an x5 or x6 for off road
For me x5m all the way. It better looking and good cargo
Really don’t like what they have done with their steering wheels, what a weird shape

4:41 on the Autobahn
Nice comparison. Thanks.
X6M Compaction 😎👍 Is my Style never Married or Kids still
Cars are just too powerful now. I can’t wait to see the first mass production 1000 HP car or SUV.
Tesla model s plaid
0-60?
