Life with a BMW X5: Last report
Each time I see a jumbo jet take off I get a disconcerting sense that there’s some sort of fault within the material of the universe. One thing that massive, that heavy, that lumbering on the bottom ought to by no means have the ability to get airborne, not to mention look so elegant as soon as it will get there.
You get an analogous sensation on a rustic lane on this X5. Laden with all its hybrid expertise, the BMW weighs 5kg shy of two and a half tonnes earlier than you’ve got even sat in it, but its willingness to go, cease and alter path comes as a shock each time, irrespective of how typically you’ve got already skilled it.
With Sport mode engaged, it sits decrease on its air suspension, the petrol engine is woke up to run in parallel with the electrical motor, and the efficiency is just outrageous as a mixed 483bhp punches it from relaxation to 62mph in lower than 5sec, accompanied by an addictive growl as you flick by the eight speeds of the auto ‘field with the wheel-mounted paddles.
But it is within the mid-range when it is actually spectacular, dispatching slower vehicles on brief straights, then shedding pace with its huge brakes (uprated M Sport objects with blue calipers on my automobile, a part of the £2100 M Sport Professional Pack) and diving in to the following nook.
With huge grip, there isn’t any understeer except you pitch it in far too shortly, the steering is superbly weighted (if a contact low-geared), and when you get on the facility early on the best way out, there may be even just a little twitch from the again finish because the 516lb ft of torque reveals its rearward bias.
Briefly, the X5 drives like a correct BMW ought to, but a cross-country hoon is simply scratching the floor of this automobile’s skills.
Editor Tisshaw made the legitimate level that if lengthy continental journeys are your stock-in-trade, then this plug-in hybrid drivetrain just isn’t best, but when, like me, your life is a mix of brief, slogging city commutes in the course of the week and longer weekend journeys, it makes an enormous quantity of sense – albeit maybe not solely justifying the hefty premium over the excellent diesel.
BMW claims 58-69 miles of pure-electric vary. I by no means managed to match even the decrease determine, however 45-plus miles is well achievable with out making an attempt to be frugal and that proved sufficient for many every day duties within the week, with an in a single day cost. And with the uprated 50e, efficiency stays peppy even in pure EV mode, with as much as 87mph potential earlier than the straight-six engine chimes in – with a break up second’s delay when you name for it by way of the throttle pedal.
That makes it a greater than competent BEV below commuting situations, though the common proven in our take a look at figures additionally consists of coasting and sustaining motorway speeds: stick it in battery-only mode round city and that determine drops to just a little over 2mpkWh, once more largely as a result of X5’s heft. Which suggests if you’re anticipating it to be low cost to run, suppose once more. Any saving on the pumps might be mirrored in your electrical energy invoice.
Choosing the hybrid drivetrain precludes a seven-seat choice due to the batteries within the boot, however as long as you may have solely 4 passengers to hold, that is nonetheless an outstanding household wagon notably with my automobile’s £4300 Consolation Plus Pack, which provides rear passengers heated seats, rear blinds and four-zone local weather management (plus a cosseting set of therapeutic massage chairs for these within the entrance). Few vehicles ship you feeling fairly so refreshed after a protracted drive, even when the all the time agency suspension majors on supple suppression of highway imperfections moderately than a floating waft.
At 500 litres, the boot does not sound big, however in apply its sq. form is fantastically sensible, the rear seats drop to present an enormous 1720- litre capability and touches such because the break up tailgate and the power to decrease the rear suspension to ease entry are actually helpful.
The one criticism right here is that there are not any releases for the rear backrests within the boot, one thing you look forward to finding on an SUV at this value level.
Different gripes embrace heated seats that do not routinely flip off to preserve energy when the entrance and rear passenger seats are vacated, and the occasional, surprising high quality drop: a centre console that flexes to the contact just isn’t best in a near-£100,000 automobile.
However I needed to attempt fairly exhausting to get aggravated with the X5, which is even genuinely good-looking – absolutely one of many final modern-era BMWs to have the ability to make that declare. Add all of it collectively and I am undecided there’s a higher luxurious SUV on sale.
There are extra opulent ones, actually – notably if you’re keen to pay double the worth or extra.
There are extra comfy ones too, and doubtless some that might be quicker down a favorite B-road. However I can not consider any that provide the X5’s breadth of abilities, notably with the addition of silent, electric-only operating round city. There’s nothing candy in regards to the sorrow of this parting.
Second Opinion
It’s straightforward to get misplaced on the planet of German premium SUVs, given there are such a lot of and usually the breed just isn’t excellent. But the X5 is an honourable exception, virtually Vary Rover-like in its seat consolation, driving place and easy-going nature.

Intelligent tyres and nice supplier service equal a really speedy puncture treatment – 27 March
You possibly can’t purchase a automobile costing near-as-dammit £100,000 and count on it to be low cost to run, and that time was introduced dwelling to me moderately vividly not too long ago.
After editor Tisshaw’s epic European journey, on a cold night 1 was wanting ahead to returning to the comforting embrace of the X5’s exceptional armchair and the heat of it, the armrests and the wheel.
However after I hopped within the automobile late that night and turned on the ignition, a tyre stress warning mild got here on, accompanied by the inevitable bong.
BMW continues to stick with run-flat tyres, so you actually cannot inform how low they’re from the skin, however thankfully one of many X5’s many knowledge screens will inform you precisely how a lot stress there may be at every nook.
The driving force’s aspect rear was all the way down to 7psi, a good distance off the place it ought to have been – 35psi and too low to danger a run dwelling, so I made a decision to search out different transport and type it out the next day. By the morning, it was all the way down to 0.Opsi – useless because the proverbial dodo.
Needing to have the automobile again as quickly as potential, – determined to e-book it in with my native supplier, Berry BMW of Thames Ditton, by way of its web site. The job was simply executed and I instantly obtained a affirmation of my reserving.
Then inside half an hour I bought a name from senior service advisor Shirin Shah to speak by the problem. He initially really useful getting the X5 recovered to the dealership to keep away from damaging the alloys by driving it there – till I identified that it was on the sixth ground of a multi-storey automobile park.
So he shortly made some enquiries and found that he would not have the ability to get a brand new 315/35 R21 Pirelli P Zero for 48 hours – notideal after I was attributable to go away for per week away the next day.
Once I defined that, he requested me to bear with him and 5 minutes later known as again to say he had booked me in on the nearest Kwik Match to the stranded automobile (lower than a mile away) and that they’d have the ability to get the proper tyre delivered by that afternoon. Implausible service.
Luckily, I had my trusty little Clarke rechargeable compressor with me, so I left that operating on the affected tyre for 20 minutes to get it as much as some semblance of stress, then very gently drove down by the multi-storey and throughout to the tyre store, trusting within the run-flat expertise.
I am relieved to say it bought there with no injury in any respect to the stunning (and vastly expensive) diamond-cut alloy, however there was a bizarre clonking sensation as if there was a chunk of wooden connected to the tyre by way of a nail or screw I did cease to examine, however there was no signal of something protruding from the wheel).
The supply of that discomfort grew to become clear as quickly because the automobile was on the ramps and the tyre had been faraway from the rim: a protracted, plastic-sheathed piece of metallic – our greatest guess was the shaft of an insulated screwdriver – had impaled my Pirellis carcass, inflicting the deflation and the next lumpy trip as a result of it was robust sufficient to face up to the stress of 2495kg of BMW SUV with out deforming.
The fitter appeared solely unperturbed, having seen all of it earlier than, and whereas I waited, he regaled me with excessive tales – resembling one buyer who had managed to puncture a tyre with their very own automobile key.
I am nonetheless making an attempt to work out how that is even potential. The principle bother with run-flats, in fact, is that after they have been punctured, they’re normally scrap – and so it proved on this case.
This meant that I used to be quickly £432.99 lighter (together with VAT and becoming), however making an allowance for that it had been just some hours between reporting the issue and driving the automobile out of the Kwik Match workshop, I used to be discovering it exhausting to complain.

Plug-in hybrid SUV is put to the take a look at with 1361 European enterprise miles in simply 5 days – 13 March
If any vacation vacation spot is greater than a five-hour drive from Calais, we catch a flight.
But I am not lengthy again from 5 days on the highway by which I may have pushed from my dwelling in Berkshire all the way down to Italy’s Amalfi coast (the place I’ve fond reminiscences of arriving by airplane and spending per week driving a Fiat 500C) and nonetheless had sufficient miles to drive again as much as Naples (however maybe not into the town itself, as that is the only scariest place I’ve ever pushed).
All this driving wasn’t for a cheery, sunny vacation, sadly, however pure enterprise: 1361 miles within the depths of winter. It was an odd journey, uneventful and unglamorous.
The locations seem fairly random: from one aspect of Paris to a different by way of northern France after which from the south-west of Paris to Manchester earlier than lastly heading dwelling late on Thursday night.
There was a mesmerising variety of motorway miles, many journeys to gasoline stations and plenty of coffees washing down several types of meat and cheese in often-stale bread.
There was loads of time to play with the massaging seats and really feel smug about lastly figuring out play sports activities commentaries from again dwelling by apps on Apple CarPlay. There was no fatigue and no boredom, because of the qualities of our BMW X5 long-termer.
To handle the elephant within the room right away: sure, we now have the Drive50e plugin hybrid model of the X5. A worse sort of powertrain for such a journey can be exhausting to search out, given I used to be doing massive miles at motorway speeds with no actual alternative to cost up the battery, the smaller petrol tank and all that further unnecessary weight. The ultimate indicated determine was 26.1mpg, in case you have been questioning.
All this made me recall these days of early Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV tax-busters being handed again on the finish of their finance offers with their charging cables nonetheless of their plastic wrappers.
Nonetheless, I will not focus an excessive amount of on the drivetrain, as a result of the journey as an alternative allowed me a probability to essentially get to know the X5 itself- and belief me, with that many miles in such a brief house of time, you actually do get to know a automobile.
The images that accompany this report in all probability offer you a sign of each the bleakness of huge components of the drive, dominated as they have been by motorways, service stations and automobile parks, and certainly how particular a number of the options of the X5 that I grew to love have been.
It seems that my new telephone additionally permits me to lastly take pictures at night time, too. Have a look at these fairly and under no circumstances distracting inside lights (left) to place a little bit of sparkle on the web page…
A stop-off at Le Touquet en route supplied a uncommon little bit of respite for the adaptive cruise management – a must have when you’re driving lengthy distances throughout France. I not often ever use cruise management within the UK outdoors of common pace digital camera zones, as a result of there’s all the time some plonker sitting within the center lane, making everybody do 4 lane adjustments to get round them, and the system then feels as annoyed by it as I’m.
Not on the toll roads of France, although, the place you actually can let the system do the exhausting work. BMW’s is an effective one, as I had present in 2022 after I drove my iX on the continent. It is sensible and reacts sensibly and in good time to site visitors forward.
These toll roads do appear to have turn into awfully costly (though not as costly as gasoline in France, which I not often noticed for lower than two euros per litre). Not less than after 13 visits to toll cubicles designed for left-hand-drive vehicles, I lastly mastered the artwork of placing the automobile in park, sliding over to the passenger seat and finding out the ticket.Having safely negotiated the slender lanes of the Eurotunnel practice carriages, I managed to kerb an alloy on the first toll sales space – and I am nonetheless wincing on the feeling.
Sorry, common keeper Alastair Clements. Sorry, BMW. Nonetheless, progress was in any other case serene and I by no means bought held up on the toll roads – not like the stinking greất queue on the M6 Toll cubicles on my manner again down from Manchester.
Now, these options that I preferred. First, the cupholders. Yeah, I instructed you they have been particular… The X5’s are each heated and cooled. I am undecided why they must be heated (does it actually take anybody that lengthy to complete a cup of espresso?), however cooled I am all in on. Not solely do they maintain your can of Coke chilly, however they will additionally cool a heat one down over an extended time period when you can wait – which in fact I may.
All that point additionally allowed me to ponder why the French do not provide lids for his or her takeaway coffees. And whereas I am on this tangent, the place did the parable come from that French motorway service station meals is so good? It is not. Nonetheless, I’d take the French service stations over these in Belgium, the place there’s all the time a fairly extraordinary quantity of ‘grownup literature’ scattered among the many fizzy drinks and chocolate bars.
Anyway, again to the X5’s quiet brilliance. It actually does offer you a superb driving place. I have a tendency to begin fidgeting on longer journeys, however by no means right here. You sit excessive and upright, and it is simple to calm down your arms and pinch the wheels along with your fingertips. Your legs and again are all the time at a cushty angle and the adjustability of the seat is the equal of the Vary Rover – my go-to reference for one thing by which you want to spend an entire day on the motorway.
Nonetheless, that seemingly infinite stage of adjustability within the seat additionally included a thigh help on the entrance to increase out to your knees, revealing all of the crumbs you swore you had dismissed into the carpet. as well as, the ivory-coloured leather-based utilized in our automobile has already began to discolour from denims wiping on it when drivers hop out and in. Clearly black or brown would have been a wiser alternative.
A lot time in a automobile additionally makes you dwelling in on all of the issues that you just dislike about it, however on the finish of this journey, my emotions in direction of the X5 have been of deep respect and admiration. I am not in a rush to do 1361 miles in 5 days once more any time quickly, but when I needed to, an X5 can be excessive on my record of most well-liked vehicles – though it will be one with a diesel engine.
Adore it
It’s a marvellous armchair by which to accept longer journeys. The massaging capabilities are nice, too

What eats miles and swallows masses however makes a meal of nothing? – 14 February
There are lots of challenges to proudly owning a canine who suffers with poor psychological well being, however an surprising addition to that prolonged record was the necessity to purchase a pair of huge crates to forestall him from attacking my different spaniel at any time when they’re cooped up collectively behind a automobile.
The Drive50e may disappoint with its lack of a seven-seat choice, however fortunately the hybrid gubbins does not eat an excessive amount of into its unbelievable load-carrying capability – with sufficient house to swallow the 2 crates with ease, together with my two youngsters and all of our gear for a protracted weekend away with prolonged household in Somerset.
And the break up tailgate signifies that the decrease part acts as a helpful barrier to cease the canines leaping out when all you wish to do is open the highest to rearrange the baggage.
The X5 actually is an exceptional mile-eater for that sort of journey too. It has the efficiency to shrug off being totally laden, the steadiness to brush apart terrible climate situations and the consolation to ship you relaxed and refreshed as editor Tisshaw is about to search out out, having swiped the keys to take the BMW on an prolonged European tour for the following two weeks.
On longer journeys, I’ve discovered myself changing into borderline obsessive about the ‘Adaptive content material’ readout on the central infotainment display.
There is a dinky picture of the automobile which delights my daughter by illuminating its numerous lights and turning its wheels to match what the actual factor is doing – however of extra curiosity is the best way it tells me what is going on on beneath.
Electrical drive’ is fairly self-explanatory, as is ‘Charging battery’, however ‘Environment friendly coasting’ is an intriguing one: it principally maximises the automobile’s effectivity by disconnecting as a lot of the drivetrain as potential to permit the automobile to coast unhindered.
You possibly can actually really feel it too. Likewise, the best way you not often have to the touch the brakes on a twisty lane as a result of the automobile will routinely begin harvesting power to sluggish you forward of a bend, or on a twin carriageway if you’re arising behind one other automobile.
And it really works. There is not any doubt that lengthy, quick motorway journeys have an effect on the general consumption, however it’s nonetheless impressively environment friendly for such a big, heavy machine. And the self-charging works notably nicely in Sport mode – so you’ll be able to justify having a satisfying cross-country blast by watching your electrical vary creep up for whenever you return to city areas.
I have been happy to listen to from a number of readers who’re equally lovestruck with their PHEV X5s, and most have echoed my ideas. “I’ve executed a number of college runs for teenagers to Bristol from Tunbridge Wells without having any stops,” wrote fellow Drive50e driver John Wynne, “and if I put the route into the sat-nav, the automobile optimises the hybrid powertrain for lowest consumption on the journey.”
Subscriber Douglas Whiting has an Drive45e in the identical Tanzanite Blue as my automobile. He is owned it since November 2020 and continues to be impressed: “Lockdowns inhibited the mileage I used to be capable of do within the early a part of my possession, so the automobile has nonetheless solely executed about 25,000 just a little over half of which has been battery-powered. It’s superbly made, comfy, succesful in electrical mode, handles nicely and has an attractive, clean straight-six petrol engine, which utterly removes any vary nervousness.”
In the meantime, Richard Lindoe has not too long ago swapped a 745Le for a automobile in an analogous spec to mine. “I journey 600-800 miles per week, generally as much as 1000, so having a cushty and dependable automobile is significant,” he says.
“The X5 is quicker in acceleration than the 7, which is spectacular, and preliminary driving consolation ranges are equal to it.” Frustratingly, nevertheless, Richard’s automobile developed a transmission fault after 1400 miles and has been again on the supplier ever since.
I am happy to say I’ve had no such unhealthy luck, and Richard has my sympathies as a result of he is at present lacking what John reckons “have to be among the finest all-round vehicles on the planet”. Up to now, it is exhausting to disagree.

Welcoming the BMW X5 to the fleet – 24 January 2024
Whereas loads of individuals have already embraced the electrical automobile revolution, for others it stays a expertise that is exhausting to belief, not to mention fall in love with.
And that appears to be notably true on the greater finish of the market, the place inner combustion stays – for now – the popular alternative for travelling lengthy distances in nice opulence.
The simplest method to convert these consumers of historically powered, massive, luxurious SUVs to the electrical future – which is already right here, in fact, within the form of the BMW iX and its rivals – is a ‘gateway’ mannequin, like this BMW X5 Drive50e plug-in hybrid.
On shorter journeys, it provides all the advantages of an EV by way of its on the spot torque and effectivity, however it additionally has the reassurance of a conventional (and BMW signature) 3.0-litre straight-six petrol engine mustering 309bhp (up 26bhp on the pre-facelift Drive45e) for longer journeys.
The electrical motor is mounted to the gearbox and makes 194bhp (up a whopping 83bhp on the Drive45ē) to present a mixed 483bhp and a large 516lb ft of torque.
That important enhance signifies that in EV driving mode the Drive50e feels, not unsurprisingly, so much just like the iX, albeit with out that automobile’s outrageous flip of tempo whenever you actually ground it.
The battery capability has been elevated over the Drive45e, too, by 3.4kWh to 25.7kWh, giving it as much as 68 miles of electric-only vary on the official lab take a look at.
In actuality, and within the present chilly snap, I am being provided estimates of between 43 and 52 miles from a full cost, however no less than these look like fairly sincere guesses.
With my commute being round 15 miles every manner and in heavy site visitors, which means so long as I bear in mind to plug the automobile into my dwelling charger every night time, I can count on to cowl most weekday chores with out troubling the petrol engine.
I am actually noticing it in my electrical energy invoice, although. For some cause, it feels virtually like free power in a PHEV, whereas I are typically much more aware of how a lot I am placing into an EV, as a result of it takes a lot longer to cost.
Commonplace equipment on M Sport trim is fairly beneficiant, as you’ll hope for not far shy of £80,000, however nonetheless it is exhausting to withstand the temptation to dip a toe into the in depth choices record, and ultimately I dived straight in.
Metallic paint was a should, and I opted for discreet Tanzanite Blue II. Gentle merino leather-based in Ivory white makes a really enticing (if barely impractical) distinction, lifted nonetheless additional by the addition of a panoramic glass roof.
The latest chilly climate tempted me to decide on the all-round heated seats and steering wheel that come as a part of the Consolation Plus Pack, whereas the M Sport Professional Pack ought to benefit from the X5’s already wonderful driving expertise in addition to including to its appears and the Expertise Plus Pack provides an outstanding Harman Kardon surround-sound stereo to the infotainment and a head-up show, amongst different treats.
And that is an acceptable alternative of phrase, as a result of there isn’t any getting away from the truth that this BMW really is a deal with, for each the motive force and passengers. It lacks the overt ranges of ostentation of, say, a Vary Rover or a range-topping Mercedes-Benz, but when discreet luxurious and an awesome sense of wellbeing is your desire, it is exhausting to beat.
Quick journeys nonetheless garner cooing from the household, whereas longer ones are inclined to lead to silence, as its consolation, slick-shifting eight-speed automated gearbox and authoritative but supple trip gently rock them to sleep so I can sit again and benefit from the drive.
From with out, the 2023 facelift of the X5 is pretty exhausting to identify, consisting primarily of a brand new grille and a reprofiled entrance bumper, however like each era of this mannequin, it is a very good-looking thing-certainly much more so than the X7.
It appears notably good in M Sport trim, with matt black detailing changing chrome and a critically trendy set of 21in alloys with blue-painted, M-branded calipers behind (courtesy of that dear improve). These are additionally a giant assist in slowing down 2.5 tonnes of automobile that may crack 62mph from relaxation in a exceptional 4.5sec.
Among the many different adjustments in the latest overhaul is a calmly upgraded inside, together with a brand new, iX-style digital show that stretches a lot of the best way throughout the dashboard (however does seem a bit plonked on).
I am nonetheless studying my manner round it and generally yearn for a conventional instrument binnacle with a rev counter, moderately than a bar telling me my energy proportion use, however I can not argue with its readability or its dimension: a beneficiant 12.3in for the digital devices, alongside a 14.9in touchscreen for the varied infotainment capabilities (and a few moderately tacky ‘X5’ graphics).
A number of the supplies on the decrease dashboard may really feel extra stable and room within the again may maybe be just a little extra beneficiant for such a large automobile, whereas siting the battery for the PHEV system beneath the boot ground signifies that, not like different fashions within the X5 vary, the Drive50e cannot provide the choice of seven seats (and reduces the baggage capability from 1870 to 1720 litres).
Nonetheless, early impressions counsel that is just about the place my complaints begin and finish. From the place I am sitting, I am struggling to consider wherever I might moderately be.
Second Opinion
Inside 5 minutes, I used to be screaming at it. I actually don’t get together with the automated this and adaptive that in fashionable BMWs.
