X5M has always been boss. Is it less aggressive looking than in the past, or is it the color?

Half a*s review driving on snow tires in winter conditions. Need to push the beast. Joe was incorrect as the engine is a S68 for the LCI, not S63. The XM bashing continues.

X5M is one of the few remaining nice-looking BMWs.
However, pre-lci version looks better in my opinion. |

As EVs are trying to put ICE vehicles on ice, X5M is a “must get” vehicle before regulatory changes remove 600HP+ V8s from the market.

Currently have a 23 X3M and 24 X5M. Previously a 22 M3. I enjoy the X5M the most which makes sense as it’s $40k more than the others. Wish I was getting any where near 21mpg though. Ride is so much more sorted than the X3M.

Same here... I occasionally open the shade in my current X7 to see the fancy pants light/etching they put in there... but 99% of the time it remains closed. I could count the times I opened the glass on one hand (across 2 X7s, an X5, and an X6).

Looks like that lands me in a 14% group. I presume on the bad side of the median? Maybe not.

It’s because they filled in the sides of the bumper. A lot more subtle than the pre-LCI.

On a brand new car? I have a 13 year old 911, the roof seals a little shrunk over time and rattle a bit, but I mean my car is tracing its roots to like the 90s. These modern cars are a little better engineered. You are a bit exaggerating the problem based on reasons listed. I may be wrong, but 96% of people buying their 7er here wont keep the car for more than few years.

That’s the way a X5M should be driven👍. The LCI with the S68 mild hybrid 48 volt should have some improvement on the MPG.

I agree 100% drive it like it’s meant to be driven!. I would submit if you are concerned with mpg, grab a diesel or the 40i.

And TBH, the seats in the F95/6 are very firm. My wife hates them. I actually have a pillow for her in the spare tire cubby for long rider. Swear to God! Lol. She has a G05 with the individual leather and multicontour seats and it is DAMN comfy.
