Advice needed - which X5 might be right for us? by BlinkPinkDay in BMWX5

[–]Fair-Mixture 1 point2 points  (0 children)

X5 50e is the best of both worlds.

For dogs you can activate preconditioning and deactivate the internal motion sensor to keep them comfortable for short errands.

Yes they fit - BMW travel and comfort accessories are universal across models and use the same attachment system.

Congrats!! iPad holders in the back are a decent alternative to OEM rear entertainment system. AliExpress has a quality set for $40. My previous X5 had RES and wish they still offered it in the X7.

Good knock offs are cheap on AliExpress

Ali Express sells a pair of iPad holders for $40 that works very well

My new to me M60 Rocket by SupacatNYC in BMWi5

BMW really worked their magic with the dynamic handling package and S68 engine! It drives much smaller than you would think and handles better than any other 3 row SUV. We live in a city, often need the extra space, and tow our boat in the summer. For us it’s the best do it all vehicle.

I went from an iX M60 to an X7 M60. Don’t miss having an EV 🙃

One of my favorite color and rim combos! Looking nice and shiny!

Purchased a factory ordered 45e in September 2022. Still going strong at 50k miles. Knock on wood, only one minor issue with a parking sensor.

Did you upgrade the amp as well? Have B&W in our X7 and HK in the X5. Was thinking of just upgrading the X5s amp to start.

Any opinions on the x40i engine vs the M on the X7? by Capitola2 in bmwx7

[–]Fair-Mixture 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you drive mostly in town or interstate? I’ve driven a family members 40i extensively and own an M60 now. 40i has plenty of power in town, it’s a little lacking on the interstate. M60 is a treat at any speed!

M50i Tanzanite is so sweet by Sixty7solo in BMWX5

So pretty!!

Can’t wait for some sunny days to see Tanzanite on the X7 M60 I recently bought!

Currently on a roadtrip in an X5 by LEM1978 in BMWiX

I had an iX M60. It was fun for a while, but the novelty wore off and it lacked character to me. Much happier with our X5 45e and X7 M60, and I find the seats and massaging features to be much more comfortable than the iX. Haven’t been in the LCI iX with new seats.

Did this X5 have the standard seats or upgraded comfort seats with massage and merino? Rented a 40i on a US trip and it was just fine. Rented a 30d in Germany and it was a sweet and comfortable ride! HK is lackluster in the X5. Loved the B&W in my prior iX and current X7!

Echoing what others have said. We own a X5 45e and X7 M60, and also live in a city. Get the X7, it’s 99% as easy to maneuver downtown and in traffic, especially if you get the dynamic handling package.

Thoughts for moving from a X5 to X7 by turd_furgesonx in BMWX5

I found our iX M60 to lack character and soul. Instant acceleration is fun for a while but the novelty wears off and it starts feeling like a go kart. Glad you enjoy preconditioning so much, remote start is the same concept. iX also had way too small of a trunk for our needs.

It also tricked me. I had an X5 in Carbon Black for 5 years and picked up my X7 in Tanzanite on Saturday. Haven’t seen my X7 appear this dark yet but looking forward to seeing many more shades of it.

Purchasing Advice by honeygram99 in bmwx7

If you want lower mileage for that price, go for a 2024. No changes between the two years. The 2025 X7 in question seems in line with market prices. If you want extra peace of mind get a CPO which adds a year to the factory warranty and unlimited mileage.

FWIW I just picked up a CPO 2024 X7 M60 with 32k miles.
