Do any of the new X5 models have acoustic glass?

Yoyoniner · 02-24-2024, 12:04 PM

Do any of the new X5 models have acoustic glass? Specifically the door windows? Aka laminated glass. I know most cars at this price point do. And the X7 does. Wondering about the X5? M60?

Thank you!

Only in Europe.

As mentioned, the option is not available in the US. Was hoping that would change for MY25 but evidently BMWNA didn't feel like it should.

Disappointing. Thank you.

At least air suspension is an option for 2025 now. Hope it stays that way.

Let's hope. It was for the beginning of MY24 but was pulled shortly after the pricing guides came out. Not sure anyone was actually able to get it.

Not sure if this was meant to be model specific - got it on my M60

When I was shopping early last year, it was available on the low volume models, but not on the high volume 40i.

We are referring to the 40i, it has been available on the M60i.

I'm certainly not as familiar with all the availability nuances - appreciate all your input here in general, thanks.

BMPHIL · 02-24-2024, 05:20 PM

Even worse in UK, 40i not available on X5 but is on X6!.

For the Mexican market the M60i does have acoustic, laminated, glass on the front doors.

BMPHIL · 02-25-2024, 06:28 AM

In UK acoustic is extra on M60i

I have it. Real sensitive windshield on stone chips. Car almost new and all it took is few longer trips

Yoyoniner · 02-25-2024, 08:31 AM

As far as I’m aware, all cars, even the cheapest Kia, has a laminated windshield (for safety). I don’t think there are any tempered windshields out there (where if it cracks the whole thing shatters).

Yoyoniner · 02-25-2024, 08:32 AM

Are we sure even the M60i doesn’t have acoustic glass? That’s crazy to me. I’m also cross shopping things like Toyota Highlander and Kia Telluride, Acura MDX, etc. All have acoustic glass.

BlkGS · 02-25-2024, 09:57 AM

I don't believe my 21 M50i has it, but honestly, I can't imagine the car being more quiet. The noise isolation from outside is really, really high. Busy streets are silent with a little bit of volume from the stereo.

Wait what. You're comparing a 520hp V8 2 row against 3 row slugs? Kinda a big spread there ..

fate9834 · 02-25-2024, 11:22 AM

Not sure if my 2020 X5 has it. But it is quite enough when all windows are closed, and drastically different from when they are opened.

100% sure it does not. They removed the option a few years ago in the US.

AFAIK, the front windshields for all BMW are laminated
