Difference is above 100-200 kmh, if you do not drive much on freeways, it is useless. Although now I moved to Italy, freeways are quiet empty, so you do not need to get back to the speed quite often. Before It was slowing down to not overtake with much speed difference, then back again to high speeds, or just overtaking so speeding up. It is useless power in an SUV regardless, 50i would be ma maximal choice if I ever needed an X5 which does not have more utility than hatchbacks like Panamera or A7

Another great review - thanks Andrea and Zach! Good inputs on the controls "hot keys", much agree!

BMW is killing it in the wheels department. Their wheel designs are so much appealing and stylish vs what Mercedes is offering. Also, kudos to BMW for having black gloss exterior elements vs the hard unfinished plastics seen on the AMG GLE’s.

I actually love this channel!

great review!

I like the toggle honestly, makes shifting quick, and fun…

In the case of my 21 M340i xDrive and 23 X3 M40i xDrive we absolutely benefit from the 48v mild hybrid even though BMW does not change the posted fuel economy numbers. You can easily average 35mpg and 30mpg respectively commuting to and from work. Even higher if you are focused on gas mileage. Since new I’m averaging 31.2mpg overall on 46,000 miles on my M340 and 26.2mpg overall on 17,000 miles on the X3 M40, both far exceeding EPA numbers.

That's a hot looking 🔥 suv!

Great car❤❤❤

You need to go fast to Starbucks drive thru, soccer practice and Costco😂.... Those cheap looking screens just ruin the interior. If that was any Japanese brand, reviewers would dump on it all day especially at this price point.

Totally agree with you on reliability! 2020 SVR here with 31k miles, including a 2k mile road trip earlier this year. Zero problems and, strangely, better highway/off-boost fuel economy despite the bigger displacement. It's a little down on torque because it's supercharged, not turbocharged, but that doesn't really matter much on the daily. Common AJ133 problems that folks usually anchor on: coolant y-pipes (design fixed 2019), timing chain tensioners (design fixed 2012/2013). EDIT: and it looks really low profile, too.

It’s a really good car if you have a family, great space better than cayenne, if you don’t have a family, then get a cayenne, it’s more sportier and feels lighter than the x6.

What timing showing BMW and now i read in the news on BMW Airbags recall ...... lol BMW recalls over 390K vehicles in US over airbag issues BMW's recall covers certain models made between 2006 and 2012 that may have Takata airbags in the steering wheel German automaker BMW is recalling more than 390,000 vehicles in the U.S. because of defective airbag inflators that may explode upon deployment, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said Wednesday. The recall covers certain BMW 3 Series Sedans and Sportwagon models that were manufactured between 2006 and 2012. The vehicles may have a steering wheel with a Takata PSDI-5 airbag inflator that was installed by owners after purchase, even though it was not officially approved by BMW as a replacement part. The PSDI-5 inflator has been found to be susceptible to rupture after several years of exposure to persistent high temperatures and humidity following investigations by Takata and independent researchers, NHTSA said. An explosion of the airbag inflator could cause sharp metal fragments to hit the driver and other occupants of the vehicle, which could cause injury or death, NHTSA explained. The faulty airbag inflators were manufactured by Japanese automotive parts manufacturer Takata and have been at the center of the largest and most complex recall in the history of the automotive industry. Takata was once the world's leading supplier of airbags and filed for bankruptcy in 2017 amid the widespread recalls.
