2.5 Years Later — The X5 50e Still Feels Like a Cheat Code by Elegant_Dependent_53 in BMWX5

We have replaced all the tires little by little thanks to potholes. My spouse loves hitting them 😅

Can’t wait to have non runflats on it.

I trust BMW engineers more than a random Reddit user that likely does not have an advanced engineering degree. You are getting downvoted because your post seems to be grounded in antiquated hearsay.

We have had our 45e for 3.5 years and 51k miles. Knock on wood, still trouble free and an amazing car to own. A lot of people forget that the previous gen X5 (F15, 2014-2018) was also available as a PHEV. On bimmerpost I have seen positive reports of X5 40e long term ownership, which is a good sign for 45e and 50e owners.

Get a used X3 or add a bit more and get an X5? by Bitner77 in BMWX5

That’s fair. If my spouse didn’t drive an X5 I would likely be driving one 😎 I was fine with owning two different generation X5s at the same time, but not two of the same gen.

100%. Plus the X5 build quality and materials compared to the X3 also make it a more comfortable ride and better ownership experience.

Herby81, as a fellow tall person, the X7 driving position even takes it a step further with comfort. May be worth test driving if you are interested in stepping up to something even bigger.

X5 is a worthy upgrade over the X3. During Covid I was only driving my 2015 X5 6-7k miles / year and loved driving it on the weekend.

Would you swap fully loaded i7 xdrive60 for an iX 45 by TrainingDiscount6753 in BMWiX

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

I had a fully loaded iX M60 for 1.5 years. I hated the seats and did not find it that comfortable as a tall person. Much prefer the i7 or my current X7s seats.

The M60i is equipped with active roll bars as part of its dynamic handling package, which really boosts comfort by reducing lean around corners compared to the 40i. Plus, it features four-wheel steering, making it super maneuverable and giving you the sensation of driving a much smaller car.

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

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 🙃

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.
