2021 BMW X5 M Review

Name: 2021 BMW X5 M Review
Brand: BMW

Price Range: $63,406 - $76,590

BMW X5 M 4dr SUV Exterior. Competition Package Shown.

+153

The 2021 X5 M is a fast, capable and well-appointed performance SUV that might be a little too high-strung for its own good. While the firm ride and sharp steering are great on a winding road, those qualities make the X5 M feel rough and heavy when you're driving around town. That said, it's a riot when pushed hard. The interior is handsome and comfortable, with a decent cargo area and a good amount of in-car tech. It's not as smooth or comfortable as the standard X5, so this M model is best suited for those willing to compromise comfort for performance.

2020 BMW X5 M Competition 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

The reviewers of the x5m saying harsh suspension must be driving a town car! This beast is awesome! Ride is firm, but not harsh. Corners flat, acceleration is great. Good luck keeping your drivers license...

Great Car

2021 BMW X5 M 4dr SUV AWD (4.4L 8cyl Turbo 8A)

There are two stitch lines along the back of the lower shoulder area, which makes sitting on the seat very uncomfortable. the stitch lines are higher than the chair's surface, which makes it against your back while you lay your back on it. It's a terrible design. I went to the dealership and asked to fix it, they said that is the way it was designed, and even if I change to a new chair …
