I have it so far for a month and my previous car was X5M f85 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 smother when in comfort and flys 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

Some pics when it went to the detailer for PPF and window tint
