Hi,
I have been on these forums for long time but never posted anything I usually reply to other posts basically I wanted to post a review about my X5MC. I have it so far for a month and my previous car was a 2016 F85 X5M 2016. In this review I will be sharing my thought between the differences and improvement between the two generations.
Ride quality
When I was watching the reviews and reading people posts the concerns I had that this car would be very harsh and unbearable. My thoughts on it is that the car is harsher than previous module. But the difference I noticed was it rides better than previous generation at higher speeds. Another thing I noticed was that the car will stick to second gear when slowing for a speed bump making it slightly smoother going over the speed bump than my previous car. Which usually would be in first gear when reaching a speed bump. Overall the car rides fine for me but that’s due to the smooth roads we have here.
Build quality
Overall so far I thing the build quality is on par with the previous generation, something I noticed it feels more refined and better than my previous car but I might be mistaken since it’s only one month old. I like the new interior better. So far I hadn’t any issues time will tell how it would survive I usually keep my cars for 5 years so I might change my view on this in the future.
Engine and transmission.
This is where things get interesting. The car feels completely different than the previous generation, I thought it would be the same but with a bump in HP. But that was not the case, the car rides smoother when in comfort and flies when in sport. I owned a F10 M5 it reminds me of that car, a car with different personalities
I hope this helps members who are looking for answers and reviews
