Just wondering if anybody can comment on the comfort and space in the X5 third row versus the X7, Audi Q7, and Lexus RX 450L.
Thanks

Use the search...

I compared third row seats of X5 and X7 https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1683188

I have it with third row. If you have shorter adults or kids using the 3rd row then it will be fine for short trips.

I got 3rd for occasional use
But mainly because if you get 3rd row you get powered second row seats

When you say "shorter adults" can you give a range? Considering this feature but none of the cars on dealer lots near me have them to test out on a 5ft 2in adult.

Also, do you lose storage space with the 3rd row? Or you only lose the storage space for the spare tire?

Thanks!

mcsa is right, if you order the third row, you cannot also order the spare tire option, its one or the other.

Around 5'2 to 5'4 max. would be fine for 1 hour trips.

It's not a big deal but that extra 3rd row, ability to move/recline 2nd row and the super smooth air suspension makes up for it.

I drive an M2C for my daily and I am very impressed with the X5 air suspension handling and ride. In my opinion, X5 M sport ride is terrible. It's neither sporty nor comfy.... I don't like that kinda stuff anymore.
