12.38 -> I'm Jacob we're going for a drive
15.3 -> [Music]
24.8 -> your refresh 2024 BMW X5 xDrive 40i
30.18 -> without launch control
34.82 -> wow
39.65 -> [Applause]
42.8 -> I did not expect that low five yeah
46.16 -> horsepower in torque 375 horsepower 398
50.82 -> pound-feet of torque from a turbo
52.44 -> 3-liter inline six cylinder with a 48
54.96 -> volt mile hybrid what a thunk it yeah I
57.78 -> think that 48 volt mild hybrid really
59.82 -> makes a difference in these new BMWs
61.44 -> because this is the same b-58 engine but
64.379 -> now we have that so we have extra power
65.88 -> torque Flora
70.92 -> definitely some delay but it it was
73.14 -> pretty quick after that is there pumped
74.58 -> in audio or is that just like a little
75.78 -> bit it sounds like kind of all right I
77.159 -> think it's like a very reasonable amount
78.72 -> to the point that you question it like
80.1 -> it's good okay so why does this look
81.84 -> like that X1 or you reviewed uh yeah so
84.659 -> it kind of has the same spec basically
86.88 -> and uh with the updates to the exterior
89.7 -> it definitely looks like that X1 that I
91.799 -> drove and this is the 40i yes this is
94.619 -> not an M okay so there's actually I have
97.14 -> not found one M badge in this interior
99.06 -> or exterior for the first time ever
100.5 -> which is awesome but there is no m50i or
104.28 -> 50i anymore it's just 40i and 60i
106.32 -> correct and the m60i we drove in the X6
109.92 -> you can get that same powertrain in this
111.659 -> which is a proper M engine because it's
115.68 -> the S uh 68 which is a V8 which they now
119.1 -> did with the m60s and now when you could
121.38 -> probably get in that cool green too okay
123.06 -> so I have a funny thing about that so
125.579 -> let's talk about this exterior color
126.899 -> because I think this car is actually
128.099 -> specked very well considering the free
130.619 -> option that the person that's specking
133.56 -> it was able to get for the exterior go
135.599 -> for it so this color is the best color
137.52 -> you can get for free now if you wanted
139.44 -> that Isle of Man green that we had in
141.9 -> the X6 which you got only on the m60i
144.9 -> and above because you can get on the XM
147.12 -> as well sorry the x6m if you wanted that
150.18 -> color on the X5 you can't get it on the
153.72 -> X5 m60i you have to go all the way up to
158.34 -> the x5m so if you wanted that free color
161.459 -> you'd have to spend another 56 000 on
164.64 -> the X5 is there a free color for the X5
168.06 -> 60i there's a bunch of colors but none
170.58 -> of them are like that cool Isle of Man
172.2 -> green there's like a blue but it's a
173.819 -> normal blue oh okay yeah so kind of
176.819 -> interesting that they did that because
177.9 -> this is the more traditional SUV
179.4 -> obviously because the shape but back to
181.08 -> the actual spec of this car we finally
182.94 -> don't have anything blacked out on the
184.62 -> exterior we've got like a nice shiny
186.12 -> well matted out silver grill yeah it
188.58 -> looks interesting yeah and it's also
190.379 -> illuminate did for an extra five hundred
192.239 -> dollars you can't see it during the day
193.56 -> you can definitely see it at night cool
194.76 -> cool and then we don't have black wheels
197.22 -> for the first time at least for us for a
199.2 -> long time so again great job specing
201.239 -> this vehicle I like these wheels I
202.98 -> really like them yeah like the design is
204.599 -> great this is what I kind of wanted on
206.22 -> that x6m and what would be the
208.319 -> Continental recommended tire the ones
211.62 -> that we're driving on the Premium
213.42 -> Contact six and from the side view like
215.879 -> the window trim is not blacked out or
217.26 -> anything like that and you notice like a
218.64 -> really nice body line down the side yeah
220.379 -> I feel like the Xbox the same body line
222.48 -> but maybe because of the paint color
223.56 -> just yeah noticeable because this is a
225.78 -> refresh so they wouldn't have changed
226.98 -> the doors and stuff I like that that big
229.08 -> wheel Gap what does it remind you of uh
232.44 -> first first year x5s no us in the wheel
234.78 -> wells oh yeah but it kind of looks like
237.12 -> like the original x5s yeah like the x3s
239.7 -> and x5s when they had that like big
241.26 -> beefy stance from the rear with the fat
242.879 -> tires because we have three 15s on these
244.739 -> why are these tires so fly I guess
246.06 -> because it's so fast though even though
247.26 -> it's like a slower one or whatever yeah
249.18 -> but it is noticeable like it looks
250.56 -> really good from the back and then the
252.54 -> taillights are also updated and I do
254.519 -> like these so cool I do like them a lot
256.799 -> more than the ones on the X6 yeah I
258.359 -> agree and the headlights are the Chevron
260.04 -> ones which were just kind of neutral on
262.5 -> at this point I mean we don't like them
264 -> it's just like they're there yeah it's
265.62 -> the previous ones were better yeah okay
268.68 -> exhaust we have normal exhaust I mean
271.56 -> it's at this point it's like you know in
273.36 -> the bumper integrated and then let's
274.919 -> take a listen to that from the outside
277.51 -> [Music]
280.5 -> smooth inline six cylinder sounds
286.74 -> smooth inline six cylinder sounds
289.44 -> yeah but that's it for looks like I
291.3 -> generally really like this it's it's an
293.34 -> X5 so I love this over the X6 because it
296.04 -> looks like an SUV it's more functional
297.6 -> we have a split fold tailgate which I
299.759 -> also love is this the first BMW in a
301.56 -> while with no backfires yes for us yeah
305.24 -> so this spec who's buying this it's uh
308.52 -> probably not a real estate agent or is
310.199 -> it like oh yeah it probably would be but
311.759 -> like I feel like real estate right
313.62 -> there's no M badges how are they
314.699 -> supposed to sell you how you're right
316.139 -> yeah and this wouldn't have to be white
317.88 -> as well I don't understand I mean
319.8 -> probably a lot of people it's like an
321.24 -> entry level I need more room BMW SUV let
324.3 -> us know if you're one of those buyers by
325.56 -> going to tsp.truecar.com and getting
327.6 -> discounted price offers it's so weird
329.52 -> because we barely get lower trims right
332.16 -> so I can't I don't know I don't know
333.96 -> who's buying this and like prices have
335.639 -> increased so much that this is kind of a
338.1 -> crazy price at this point but it's in
339.66 -> line with everybody else which is also
341.82 -> crazy but anyways uh this interior spec
344.22 -> is really really nice we got like white
346.38 -> leather and then we have this very light
348.66 -> wood which looks fantastic it's
350.639 -> interesting I was like dark or it's like
352.32 -> faded in and it depends like how the
354.12 -> light shines off I did notice that the
356.28 -> petals and the dead pedal look kind of
358.56 -> I'm used to nice BMW pedals Dodge it yes
362.1 -> that did stand out to me but what would
363.9 -> really help this interior is a set of
365.699 -> tux mat that would really Elevate this
367.56 -> to possibly m60i levels without having
370.08 -> to pay m60i prices there is an m in tux
373.5 -> mat
374.66 -> go to duckspad.com the straight pipes to
378 -> see what they have for your car
379.8 -> and into cliche Corner yep it handles
383.28 -> pretty well it's a little body rolly but
385.919 -> yeah I mean it's not quite an M but it
388.139 -> also doesn't feel like it's not an M
389.759 -> this handles really well yeah you can
392.34 -> feel the torque vectoring and stuff and
393.96 -> yeah it's
395.52 -> it's still a BMW of your area ah he said
398.16 -> it you guys have to subscribe even
399.96 -> though Yuri said that I wouldn't say
401.52 -> that but he probably knew I was I expect
403.5 -> I was waiting for it yeah but it does
405.18 -> handle really well uh the suspension is
406.86 -> not adaptive but it is that like good
409.5 -> BMW Middle Ground where it's not too
411.36 -> stiff it's on the stiffer side but it's
413.52 -> not as stiff as I what I would imagine a
415.68 -> comparable GLE would be okay how about
417.6 -> the steering wheel did you like piloting
419.699 -> this craft
421.22 -> with this uh okay two things with the
423.66 -> steering wheel uh I don't like the
425.1 -> steering feel and you're gonna have the
427.38 -> same issue where for some reason the
429.84 -> feel is different than the one that we
431.28 -> had in the X6 m60i where we kind of like
434.46 -> drift off and it's it's hard to keep the
436.38 -> car centered it's like that m240i
438.06 -> steering that I hated and complained
439.5 -> about which was a total deal breaker for
441 -> me yeah so like the on center is
442.86 -> actually not our favorite like by a long
444.78 -> shot and then the actual texture of this
446.639 -> base entry model X5 is not very nice
449.639 -> yeah apparently we're spoiled by always
451.56 -> driving top trims I didn't even know a
453.84 -> BMW steering wheel could feel so this
456.84 -> not pleasant yeah it like borderline is
459.539 -> reminding me of that
461.58 -> urethane steering wheel I'm trying to
463.68 -> I'm trying to remember what the X1
466.08 -> steering wheels was I'm imagining that
468.84 -> hopefully I'm correct it's very similar
470.759 -> to this one yeah it's uh interesting yes
473.58 -> uh anyways we've got a ZF or ZF eight
476.52 -> speed Auto and it shifts just as lovely
478.56 -> as it ever has and uh let's get you into
481.08 -> the driver's seat at this point I think
482.4 -> Gary one downshift
492.68 -> cliche Corner control
496.199 -> yeah it's got some control
498.72 -> definitely body roll though this is more
500.759 -> car than I would expect it to be
503.46 -> yeah this
505.56 -> is nice I can't even imagine what a like
507.78 -> the x5m is gonna feel like through here
509.94 -> Yuri I'm not gonna lie I think a lot of
512.339 -> this has to do with these great tires if
514.44 -> I it might it might just saying just say
516.779 -> it okay uh should I do a launch too yeah
519.539 -> might as well
520.86 -> even though it doesn't have launch
522.18 -> control I break boosted it you don't
524.459 -> break boost it it's gonna suck if I
525.959 -> don't break but if your head doesn't
527.16 -> smack back I'm going to brake boost okay
529.26 -> fine
531 -> now see that's garbage
533.1 -> I faked it
535.5 -> oh yeah that's really good
538.14 -> we're getting that full power
540.2 -> 3.99 damn
543.06 -> and I mean if we took this to a Dyno
544.8 -> let's just say the numbers would
546.66 -> probably be even higher because BMW is
548.519 -> kind of known for that okay what do you
550.32 -> want to talk about next whatever you
551.82 -> want to talk about you're in the
552.779 -> driver's seat of this car review Yuri
555 -> uh okay so the infotainment
559.58 -> predictability you know I don't like it
562.019 -> now I found a new reason Jacob pointed
563.94 -> out for me to not like it I accidentally
565.8 -> found this so they got rid of the one to
567.839 -> eight buttons right yes I got rid of the
569.76 -> climate stuff blah blah blah apparently
571.92 -> if you're not logged into your car you
575.1 -> can't set favorites yes you swipe down
578.82 -> from the top and there's just no
580.56 -> favorite box yeah so that sucks you
582.959 -> literally have to be logged in to an
584.7 -> account yeah like a free account but you
586.68 -> have to be logged I just want to be less
588.24 -> and less connected the more and more
590.399 -> people try to connect me to cars and
592.32 -> it's just ah
594.54 -> old man Yuri strikes again oh yeah and
598.32 -> the next thing we can't get the voice
600 -> control to play SiriusXM channels we
603.42 -> couldn't do in the last one we couldn't
604.74 -> do it a year ago I think I have been
606.66 -> told the engineers are aware of the
608.16 -> problem but I do not know if it's going
610.019 -> to get solved or not but what we can do
612.36 -> is this
614.16 -> open the front left window do you repeat
617.1 -> that open the front left window try once
620.279 -> again or say help open the front left
622.2 -> window
625.92 -> we can do that
627.72 -> so there's that but it can't close it
629.94 -> for safety reasons but it's kind of cool
631.62 -> I mean I don't know I don't know
635.16 -> oh what is cool is the ambient lighting
637.019 -> so we have this cool uh whatever they
639.3 -> call it emotion bar or whatever it's
640.68 -> called like I don't know it does stuff
642.12 -> when you get a phone call it looks
643.44 -> pretty cool at night when it like fades
645.18 -> in it's really nice Jacob get a shot of
646.86 -> that for me okay here it is all right so
649.079 -> these seats I'm pretty comfortable we
651 -> got presets all that stuff where's my
653.04 -> massage button uh we don't have that
654.66 -> this is not that type of car Yuri that's
656.94 -> uh we didn't pay for that but what we
659.16 -> did pay for I mean I guess it's included
661.74 -> we do have forward and back Lumbar and
663.839 -> then we do have adjustable side bolsters
665.459 -> which is great and these seats are
666.839 -> generally very comfortable but often
668.279 -> down lumbar yes yeah dude and then this
671.339 -> uh thigh support as well but that's
672.899 -> manual that's for people with long legs
675.18 -> like myself I literally never need it
677.64 -> yeah I get that okay backseat room
679.56 -> backseat room is really good it's an X5
681.779 -> and I actually fit back there totally
684 -> fine because we also have peasant
685.62 -> blockers yeah that's good for the
687.12 -> kitties and then how about trunk space
689.16 -> because it's not a coupe so you can fit
691.019 -> more stuff in it it's got more trunk
693 -> space than an X6 that is a verified fact
695.82 -> of statement or whatever I still rather
697.92 -> under oath I'd still rather take the X6
699.839 -> if they could put the X5 tail lights on
701.64 -> the X6
704.16 -> I think it'd look cool I really like
705.72 -> these tail lights yeah these tail lights
706.86 -> are sick and then as for other cool
708.6 -> Technologies it still does have like
710.279 -> that backup assist stuff the parking
712.5 -> assist stuff which is really nice to
714.18 -> have how about Lane keep assist Jake oh
717.36 -> my goodness I think this is possibly the
719.88 -> best Lane keep assist adaptive cruise
721.8 -> that I have ever used tell me about it
723.779 -> okay so I was on the highway and then
725.579 -> all of a sudden I got this assisted plus
727.44 -> would you like to enter this mode I'm
728.94 -> like heck yeah I'm gonna try this out I
731.16 -> did not have to touch the steering wheel
732.6 -> the entire time until I entered a more
735.6 -> populated area of the highway and then
738 -> it put me back into like the still
739.68 -> really good one but I did have to touch
741.42 -> a steering wheel at that point yeah keep
742.8 -> your eyes on the road it's got the stuff
743.94 -> that watches and all that stuff and it
745.079 -> worked really well for you you really
746.04 -> liked it incredible and I did find out
748.68 -> oh yeah totally better than super Cruise
750.839 -> because it doesn't have to be on
752.1 -> pre-mapped highways and I did find out
754.14 -> that apparently this works up to 135
756.18 -> kilometers per hour nice nice That's
758.64 -> right maybe I read that fact I didn't
760.079 -> actually test it and then cup holders
762.72 -> heated and cooled which I'm kind of
764.579 -> surprised we have that I am too because
766.26 -> as crazy as it is to say this is a base
768.959 -> model it kind of is a base model three
771.12 -> advisors two one yes good job BMW and
775.38 -> anyone new to the Channel all we are
777 -> trying to do with that is block out the
778.56 -> sun because I did see some comments of
780.06 -> people not understanding why we do that
781.5 -> yeah subscribe if you're new to the
782.88 -> channel I don't think we've asked anyone
784.2 -> to subscribe in months no so thank you
786.06 -> guys for subscribing whoever subscribes
787.68 -> from this video and every other video so
789.48 -> with the X6 that we drove recently this
792.06 -> X5 currently I feel like that's pretty
794.399 -> much everything to talk about with this
796.32 -> new X5 yes these are lci's life cycle
799.86 -> impulse refreshes before we get to the
802.019 -> price which motor do you like more the
803.76 -> 40i or the 60i as smooth as this b-58 is
807.36 -> I'm gonna have to go with that s58 or
809.7 -> sorry s68 but are you not pleasantly
811.62 -> surprised by this very pleasantly
813.24 -> surprised like this is totally more than
815.579 -> enough power okay I think it's time we
817.92 -> get to the price this one is actually
820.38 -> you know what starting price 86 000
822.62 -> seems like a lot for a lower trim and
825.839 -> this one with not that many crazy
827.579 -> options is ninety six thousand five
829.98 -> hundred dollars that is wild that this
832.079 -> is a hundred thousand dollar Canadian
833.7 -> car it really is there's nothing more to
835.86 -> say to that like you can save yourself
837 -> 500 bucks by not getting that
838.44 -> illuminated Grill yeah we're driving by
840.36 -> uh Genesis right now would you maybe
841.98 -> considered Genesis SUV instead of this I
844.26 -> probably would I mean it'd be a lot less
846.48 -> money considering the options that you
848.459 -> get I kind of like everything about
851.279 -> previous gen BMWs more I think they got
854.519 -> this as a sweet spot it was perfect back
856.2 -> then and like they just nailed it so
859.68 -> this would not be my pick in the BMW
861.66 -> lineup yeah I mean it's like our m340i
864.54 -> review where did they get anything that
866.76 -> much better no is it still great yes but
870.48 -> is the previous one better yes yeah in
873.54 -> many different ways objectively and
875.459 -> subjectively if I had to get an X5 or an
877.74 -> X6 my ideal would be like a 2015-16 blue
881.279 -> X6 with the red interior xxm I think it
883.92 -> was Long Beach blue I think that's the
886.74 -> most perfect one ever yeah that was a
888.3 -> good one for you I could see why you'd
889.68 -> like that one so let us know which one
891.48 -> is right for you in the comments below
893.82 -> right now
895.52 -> [Music]
897.5 -> yeah yeah can you even tell the
900 -> difference between the next one we've
901.92 -> been throwing X1 footage this whole time
903.92 -> at least one clip was the X1 yeah let us
906.6 -> know there's a spot of that
908.96 -> [Music]
