2024 X5M Review Thread
First "official" review that I found. 0-60 test and not much else. Not a real technical review but perhaps they will be starting soon.

I just can’t continue watching…he’s sliding his hands on everything; so annoying. These reviewers don’t seem to understand it’s not about them; it’s about the vehicle. 😑🙄

I tried to watch that before and he's annoying.
This is the best review I've found. Last edited by S68 X5MC; 09-15-2023 at 10:03 AM.. |

I don’t agree with the iDrive 8 climate assessment. I’ve had mine for almost 2 months and 1000 miles. It’s 1 tap of the “climate” tab and then selecting whatever you want in the submenu. Then another tap of the “climate” tab and it takes you back to the previous operation that you were in. That simple. You get used to anything that is new. I feel people always have adverse reactions to the newer tech or design then they get over themselves and move forward. They’re supposed to update us with 8.5 which some are saying is better. We will see. Whatever the case I’ll get used to it when mine is updated. ✌🏽 |

I notice that many of these reviews show that the trunk's sliding cover includes a button to drop it down into the wheel well area and out of sight... our '24 X5MC does not include this. Is this a Canada / Europe market feature not present on US models?

I've noticed this as well and I'm pretty sure it is a Canada / Euro thing. I don't want the extra weight of that costly gimmick in mine.

If I had to pay extra for it as an option, I would likely have passed. But if a cost-free take it or leave it option, it’s a no-brainer. |

I'm a bit torn. When I watch these video reviews, that feature looks amazing and exciting. But then I think how many bits this vehicle already has and perhaps I should be happy with one less thing to break. But then I think 'I probably paid the same price as my Canadian brethren but got one less feature' and become a bit salty. But then I think 'perhaps my vehicle is a bit lighter and therefore quicker!' But then.... and on and on and on I'm okay not having it, I guess |

I wouldn't mind having it, but rattles are my true kryptonite when it comes to vehicles, so I'm perfectly happy with my manually stowable version. At least on the X5 it fits under the loading floor when not in use (not the case on my previous Audi, so it lived in the basement and was never used...). |

That first guy sounds too much like Doug Demuro (sp?) and not original. I can only tolerate so much of his voice.
I feel like BMW could have done something special with the display rather than just slapping a rectangular screen on the dash. They need some lessons from Audio on minimizing the screen bezel. Exhaust sounds nice. Wonder if they added the accessory mount receiver on the backs of the seats where the USB-C ports are? Would be a nice addition for those with kids. |

Very positive review with comparisons to Cayenne GT Turbo. This guy called it a “very heavy” LCI refresh which improved driving dynamics and response.

Agreed lol. The one about the V8 being brutal I wasted time not realizing he wasn't going to drive the vehicle. Will just end up finding one at a dealer to get a better sense of it as I was wanting to pick up an F90 or 95 but the expansion tank issue of the S63 and BMW's lack of a solution is really off putting.
