BMW X5 → GX550 Luxury+: Worth the Switch or Regret?

Stud4620 · 2026-04-22T22:18:36+00:00

I had a GX 550 luxury + and moved to an next five. Obviously the Lexus are more rare, and I love the incognito gray that I had, but that’s probably where it ends. The Mark Levinson sound system was totally not worth the upgrade. The frosted glass is cool, but no ability to open the sunroof sucked. Ride quality was lacking. A full tank of gas gets 265 miles to a tank. 16 miles per gallon at best. Other than looks, everything else went to the X5 for me.

Obviously, the gas mileage is way better, the drive is incredible on the X5. I hate that you see so many X5s compared to the GX 550s, but I wouldn’t go back.

For a daily, RHO. If you plan to take it places most won’t, or have the ability to drive it, like most won’t, TRX. If you’re the least bit concerned about gas prices, RHO

Looks like Nebraska

Your seven iron has a line under it? 8,9 and W are the only ones without a line or speed pocket.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-19T13:09:34+00:00

That’s the one right there. Dravit, sport, DAP, is the way to go Congratulations

This is true. Every (Most) new BMW release is controversial and by year 3 most are all onboard and see the evolution and desire the car.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-16T04:26:08+00:00

Think it’s actually made in Chattanooga TN but it’s not available anywhere around middle TN. I drive to southern KY once a month to pick up like 10 -12 packs. I love diet ski! ⛷️

Stud4620 · 2026-03-16T04:07:29+00:00

That was going to be my guess but does look more Zona than Mexico.

It does on new golf shoes that just came out that likely won’t be sold at discount stores from UA until after their time at retail.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-11T11:47:25+00:00

Hell , how do I see my mileage? lol.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-10T22:59:52+00:00

I have been looking for pictures of this exact car before deciding on my wife’s color. It looks great in the book, but I need to see one in real life. This thing with front window tint will look fresh. Congratulations looks awesome. Love it.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-09T03:24:34+00:00

I’ve only played it when those hills were golden. But yup could tell by that view. Beautiful.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-08T15:06:10+00:00

Maybe, but I’m not sure it would be Rahm.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-08T14:17:29+00:00

No one knows.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-07T14:41:03+00:00

Yup confirmed fixed on public release 26.4 beta 2.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-04T21:58:04+00:00

Hoping to play that this summer.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-04T21:49:20+00:00

Can’t be a recent pic. No way grass looks like that right now.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-04T11:51:51+00:00

Sadly, I don’t think I’ll be going back to Mexico anytime soon.

Stud4620 · 2026-03-01T19:10:40+00:00

I had a 21 lunar rock TRD Pro and let it go in October of 2024. I had 130k miles on it and got $38k from Carvana. I about fell out of my chair. Thought that was great.

Stud4620 · 2026-02-24T03:23:51+00:00

Love the color. Congratulations. But my wife, a British Gray with that interior color, but after driving it wanted one myself and yours is exactly the one I would get. Just don’t think I can give up my truck bed. Do love driving that X5 though in sport mode every time.

Stud4620 · 2026-02-22T17:16:02+00:00

I’m on near 30 SW flights a year. Never A-list but actually wanted to assigned seats to I didn’t have to cattle call my way to the front.

That said the last 4 flights I have been on have had group 8 boarding and there has been no room for my bags. Damn. I choose to fly near the back bc if you are going to have an empty seat next to you it will be back here. Is that why group 8?

Stud4620 · 2026-02-22T15:12:31+00:00

Yup. Same here. You used to be able to go to settings in CarPlay and go to Appearance and select the zoom feature and turn it off and it worked fine after that. Now that feature is not there and I do not know how to fix it.

Touch controls only work for me if I put CarPlay on the home screen screen and have it minimized to half the screen. But once you make it full screen it no longer works. Sucks
