      So, point being, BMW x5 not very far away from standard 5 series as many of you like to think,

    The Q7 is FANTASTIC! I’m on my second one & absolutely love everything about it. I barrel rolled my first one over a concrete median (not my fault, as someone slammed into the front passenger side trying to cut me off) & I walked away from that crash🤯 The car was a complete loss/totaled & had massive damage (not quite as bad as Tiger Woods’ accident but close), but not a single interior panel collapsed in on us & my windshield, panoramic sunroof & back windshield didn’t even crack. The side windows broke but all airbags deployed properly & safely. Amazing! Plus, Audi has a lot of higher-end power so once your at 60mph it goes to 110 in half a second, lol😜 It also has the best adjustments for different size people without a bunch of blind spots. I won’t be driving anything else💙

Quick and practical as I can get 40mpg on long trips at 70mph and that's out of a V8! Tyre wear is a small issue, I will probably get 25 to 30K out of my 22's, but as the standard Hankooks only cost me £200 a corner, I don't care. Service plan is £600 for the first one but remember that's after 2 years so very low cost for SUV per year. So overall I can't complain, however the dashboard is looking a bit dated.

      Don’t be manipulated by the name PORCHE. Cayenne is not a Carrera.
      Anyway even if Cayenne was included a straight engine rear wheel drive BMW X5 looks much nicer all the way. Especially Porche cayenne has the look of 2009 Cayenne in the front and it is very ugly. In the back is ok. That’s my personal opinion anyway.

I love mercs but there always abit to complicated Audi’s always feel 2 years behind and somehow bmw always feel just right. BMW X5 ticks all the boxes and does everything well. Everything’s easy to use and just seems to work. Bmw is doing good work lately.

    Great review Matt as usual. Owning a Q7 S-line 273hp with many additions inc 22" wheels. Hopefully these further comments will help people in comparing the models. Mine returns high 30's MPG which I can't complain about, I even get over 40 MPG if I drive sensibly and within the law. Tyre wear others mention I simply don't have, last pair was changed after 24k and was less than £400 for a pair fitted (mines not a four wheel steer). I know that's not cheap, but compare that to the BMW run-flats where you won't buy one for that. These are all not lightweight cars and that takes its toll on the rubber, that’s just physics. Had a disco before the Q7, but it spent more time in the dealer than my drive, but did have a superior lofty driving position (although not sporty at all) Other than the older very dated disco, no other SUV comes close to the Q7 middle row seating arrangement. I have 3 kids and very recently bundled them into all but the Merc, and the Q7 remained the best due to the entirely separate seating system (3 independent reclining and sliding seats). Gearbox is slower than others I've driven, but I've gotten use to it, one particular junction were there is a leap of faith needed, I just slip it into sport and the SUV takes off. Hopefully a useful insight from an owner.

      Me too, it’s just so much better to drive and look at than all those other cars. I drive an X5 and it’s really not all that hard to figure out why it was his favorite (since the BMW makes everything bland in comparison, much like the VW to the Audi comparison in the video. It really doesn’t take a rocket scientist. Guaranteed you haven’t driven a BMW, ever. Even an AMG Merc can’t hold a candle to a BMW. Ya, they can make engines that make big power numbers, but so can’t every other manufacturer these days. Jesus, my Volvo XC90 has 400 horsepower and over 470+ lb-ft of torque!

The X5 can be tossed around like a sports coupe when all the others are like driving a massive, gigantic SUV that you’ll rollover if you take a corner too fast. My X5 can take corners better than most sedans.

    1)Now the center console surface has begun to peel. 2) It downshifts too far on highway acceleration making it rev high without moving much.
    3) A little cramped for 4 good sized adults on long trips.
    4) annoying brake sensor wire connectors at the wheels need contact cleaned annually of dash lights up.
    5) When you move the rear view mirror the rain sensing wiper start moving for a sec.
    6) At max volume the stereo isn't that loud.
    7) No remote tailgate function. No front mounted tailgate close feature or button.
    8) The 290ho factory is under powered. Have to go stage 1 or 2 refresh to wake it up.

    You should do BMW X5M VS VW TOUAREG R VS THE SQ7 VS GLE63
    If those cars exist
