Dan Knight @ Next Level Auto Brokers
Was awesome. Can't recommend enough. Took delivery of my 2021 X5 40i a few days ago. Local dealers weren't really willing to negotiate, and the sales guy I had used in the past totally flaked on me. I was swamped with work, and didn't feel like dealing with the process. I reached out to Dan, who got me a great deal (pre-incentives) and was both totally transparent and incredibly responsive. The car was delivered to a dealership in NJ on Tuesday, and was shipped out (and received) the following day. The entire process could not have been smoother.
The car was ordered in early November, and so it took about 7 weeks. I'm coming from an F15 50i, which I loved. I don't have a lot of miles on the new car, but what strikes me most is that the new car feels MUCH smoother on the road (both with air suspension and third row). I was a little worried that I'd be giving up some comfort by going with the 21 inch wheels (F15 had 20s), but nothing could be further from the truth. The difference in tech is also night and day. A few pics attached. More to follow. |

Any chance you can snag a photo of the 3rd row up? I'm interested to see how much foot space exists in the 3rd row when the 2nd row is pushed as far up as it can go. Edit: Nice color too!

Maybe tomorrow I'll stuff the 15-yr old in the third row (maximizing the legroom) and we'll see how he does. |

What I'm struggling with is I absolutely love BMW vehicles. I custom ordered my M3 five years ago and I'm hooked on the brand. High quality, fun to drive, and cutting edge tech. My M3 is excellent by every possible measure and I'll keep it for a very long time. I'm just unsure of the 3rd row in the X5. When all five of us are in the car it's for about a maximum of 30 minutes. Most of the time it's short trips of 20 minutes or less. The only other car that may possibly be in the running is the 100% redesigned 2022 MDX (and possibly the type-s). It has everything we're looking for from a practicality standpoint and then some. But I have a very strong suspicion it will be lacking in many areas vs the bmw in regards to driving dynamics and fun factor. I will be driving the X5 a lot so I want to enjoy it too . One other question on the seats... Does the middle section of the 2nd row fold down? I'm thinking it would be nice to have that folded down so my two youngest wouldn't feel as claustrophobic as their heads won't be above the seats.
