"The guy that never cheats on his girlfriend but knows who the next girlfriend will be" might be my favorite quote in a while lol
Oddly specific.
That and his sunset post were just perfect.
That's basically all women though.

I had to pause it and collect myself because ouch.
BMW X5: The official car of “dammit you opened the window that doesn’t close”
Welcome to the driver window of my 16 year old santa fe
2001 X5 owner here and this couldn’t be more true, my old mechanic lowered my bad window all the way down and when I asked him to bring the pane up the left the motor disconnected “so I wouldn’t have to deal with it” even though it was fine up to halfway,,,
Also my rear right door only opens from the inside and I put the child lock accidentally once so now it’s a 3door SUV 😂
Actually that's all BMWs
Lmao 😂 I had the same issue
Former 2001 x5 owner here.. nothing more baller in high school than having to roll down the drivers side window to open the door so you can exit the car

Ouch lmao, critical hit.

Only problem is not all BMW's are fast
Error, cannot compute.
Not true because the slower BMWs are the ones that lose value the quickest
Used to sell Audis and i have encountered Dennis more than once
Yea audi a6 and a4's are perfect for dennis
@@Namenloser_ Yeah, Audis are the definite "I'm sysadmin for an accounting firm" - all left brain, no right. He needed something to fit in with all the suits. It has to to be technically perfect because subjectivity scares him.
@@hoilst I feel like less of a loser by comparison now
@@Mentally_Will You're welcome.

BMW X5: The official car of "I Like this, but i'm not prepared to pay the price to maintain it."
Can confirm. Parents had this car a while back, needed $17k of repairs over the time they had it.
Paid 19 put in 23
Nobody is prepared for the bullshit associated with that vehicle.

"Its like driving a Zune"
☠️
@Plastic Icon 2 - Freewheeling Gunslinger Edition Nah comparing anything to a Zune immediately shows how antiquated and shit it really is.
@@HL_Eminence zune was awesome. Had to be there. Just like beta max and HDDVD. Superior. And nobody cares.
@@tiporari Betamax was very, very marginally better picture quality at a much higher cost and shorter play/record length.
HDDVD was significantly smaller capacity discs leading to many contemporary films being too long to fit on a single disc. Add the lack of special features and BD-J and BD-Live equivalents and you're looking at inferior tech at a [pre-collapse] similar price tag.
The Zune was just a mess: awful software, awful support, and tons of bugs and errors. Add in the hilarious amount of expensive and proprietary accessories and again... inferior product vs the competition. Apart from the $15/month subscription service [PACKED with WMDRM and license syncing bugs] there was nothing better about the Zune.
I liked my zune...for the three months it worked.
@@tim3172 I don’t think the zunes software was any worse than the iPod. Hell on the computer software it would populate each track whenever you added anything to the dedicated folder you had set up. So if you’re downloading stuff legally or illegally it would just start popping up in the software and be ready to sync to your device. Much more seamless then fucking iTunes.
"the style is.. whatever" - proceeds to show an absolutely beautiful side profile shot. 😂

"Phew, it's only a roof rack 😳"
All jokes aside, it is a handsome looking car.
Got my license yesterday. Honestly if I wasn’t for RCR I definitely would have been more nervous before my sessions, thank you RCR for being the greatest channel on earth.
Congratulations!
Congratulation bro
Bless your beautiful soul
lucky guy!
300 000 km no issues so i wouldn't say it's unreliable
In the year 2001, one of my neighbors bought a BMW X5, another one purchased an Acura MDX, and yet another one decided on a Mercedes ML430. Somehow, the Acura MDX is the only one still around.
Yeah 'somehow'
Them mdx can take abuse...still perplexed at the conditions some of those came into the shop
It’s Japanese. That’s the only answer. It’s literally a race thing
Acura MDX. the official car of "everyone bought a fancy SUV in my neighborhood but somehow mine is the only one that still runs"
@@ghomerhust lols
"I will stay 5 car lengths behind you with no deviation" lmao I wish! every time I see a car riding my ass in the passing lane it's always a white X5 with some dude who looks like a background character in "American Psycho" behind the wheel, and they always look so annoyed like I'm intentionally trying to make them late for their board of directors meeting by slowing down for a yellow light.
“board of directors” = internet finance department at Lee Donghandler Audi, in Shithouse Heights right off I-90 at exit 227
The styling on this generation of X5 is actually nicer than the current gen.
Agreed. I thought those were quite handsome in their understated way. Now BMW is doing ridiculous things to their grilles.
The current one is horrible
Current Wombat/hedgehog grille is really bad.
F15 is good
In general, it seems that every year after 2000, cars become uglier and uglier.
I got a friend who drives one. He sells the best weed.
@Daniel A dawg! Same! We got one in our area with a straight pipe so you always know when he's been passing through
bmw x5, the car of "I can't afford to replace my brakes yet"
Or fix the reason for the check engine light
@@Marchautowerks bmw, the steady glow of the check engine light for various things, for the entire life of the vehicle.
I have a two-door Mitsubishi which is exactly like this. Literally, exactly this. 0-60 in no time flat. Leather and the height of tech for 2011. Goes through mud, snow, anything. Never had any issues with the car but every consumable part is rare and expensive. Nobody knows what this car is has ever worked on one before. I'm trading it in for a Toyota hybrid next week.
@@stevenllewellyn8906 it's the only thing that never breaks. that light is the most durable part of the whole vehicle.
BMW X5: The official car of "Can I speak to your manager?"

BMW X5 Diesel: The offical car of a man that wants BMW luxury but thinks he is saving money on fuel because it's a diesel
I mean if you live in europe you do save quite a bit.
It's only about .15 more expensive than regular at the gas station up the street here in Alabama.
yeah BMW diesels are pretty reliable compared to the petrol ones that crack blocks and blow headgaskets every day
@@MousemanLV If you get a BMW with the N52 straight 6 it'll live longer than a toyota in my experience.
@@sporeranier the m57 is one of the most reliable I bimmer motors
The official car of "I spend $4000 a year fixing an $8000 car"
@Martin rationality doesn't even enter into it. I spent 2 grand on a gearbox rebuild on an E39 535i that only cost me 600 quid a couple of years before. Usually BMWs will give you one big bill then settle down and prove quite reliable...
@@richardharrold9736 yep, just spent $6k over the last 12 months on mine. Hoping that I don’t have to see the shop for a few years now. I love it though, no other SUV drives this well and has as much room for loading up the family and going to the lake for a few weeks.
@@dylanriley2707 These diesels are pains in the ass though. Lots of people don't take care of the Diesel emission systems on them, and end up with massive repair bills.
@@joerogandlchairexpansion786 they usually just rip out the EGR, DPF and cats, roll coal and put the emissions equipment back on it come testing time...
@@richardharrold9736 Swapping out the exhaust, DEF system, and ECU, once every year sounds like way too much work.
Ohh that Check Engine light, never leaves BMW.
I've never owned a car that didn't have the check engine light on. I worry everytime I get in someone else's car and it's not on, it just doesn't seem right.
@@darksu6947 try owning something from japan.
@@pikenren7884 I've had a few Honda's, same thing!
I've owned 2 of these 2011 diesel X5s. Sold the second one to buy a 4Runner based on every auto journalist recommending it. After 8 months of slow acceleration, tippy handling, higher fuel cost, barely being able to see the road at night, and picking up things that fell out of the cargo area when opening the single-piece liftgate, I sold the 4Runner for the same price I paid for it and bought a 2018 X5. I know it's costing me about $10 a day in depreciation but it's worth it to love what I drive. Sure, the X5 is not for everyone but I guess neither is the 4Runner.

BMW X5: The official car of "first car in the ditch after a fresh snowfall."
"The X5 is a spouse that kisses the tip, once every 7 years"
I felt that in my core.
My eyes couldn't look away from the fact this car had a check light on the readouts...
Those are always illuminated. They turn on the day a BMW turns 5 years old. It's to constantly remind you it's no longer under warranty.
@@kevina2052 pretty much
My bmw hasn’t not ever had light since 100k nothing serious with engine or Transmission just random electric shit
Mine did only have a windscreen wiper relay issue once, never any other major thing, and never a check engine light, and its 27 years old 😄😄
@@cartere9981 Yeah, electric shit, like the check engine light not working
X5: official car of buy here pay here lots
I agree with everything in this video.
I still want one.
And of course the check engine light is on
It’s just making sure it’s bulb is working for when it needs to actually illuminate next week.
If the check engine light isn't on then something is wrong. Source: am BMW owner

It's RegularCarReviews, it's about fun not actual reviews. He is very frequently wrong about cars just to make a funny point. Meh, I've learnt to ignore it, it's still funny about 50% of the time.
Yeag, this is a comedy channel. For any serious/factual car reviews, best look elsewhere. Its got its place.
So to sum up: He thought this car was sterile, boring, and pointless. Mostly because he has no nostalgia for it like he did the Corolla Wagon.
It’s always the case.
This car is boring, there’s nothing to it. It’s what the AMC Ambassador was in 1971, boring and basic. Except BMWs like this one aren’t revered because they were made by a now dead manufacturer.
BMW X5: every suburban mom with 2 kids and a husband who's trying to look like he's made it in life has one
Toyota Corolla Wagon: rare, even in their heyday, and never pretended to be more than it was
Seethe harder, bimmerboy
I love Mr. Regular's character voices. I just know there's a 'Dennis' in his life who drives an extra 10 miles to save 5¢ on gas and watches daytime judge shows saying to the TV "You shoulda gotten that in writing."
I'm going to be 5 car lengths even at stop lights 🤣
Not in the UK, you can be going 90+ on the motorway, and those stupid 4 halo rings will illuminate the back of your head as Paul the bald middle aged middle manager tailgates your arse until you move over.
@@hamstirrer6882 That's BMWs in all of Europe for you.
"I reformat my PC...QUARTERLY." I threw up a little in my mouth.
No matter what I'm doing I stop as soon as I see one of your videos drop. Hands down the best car review channel on youtube . So so good :)
Thought you were going to say "I'm Doug" after the nameless buttons.
It was bourgeoisie when new, but now it's what the covid relief check provided for the single mom in the section 8 housing.
Lol beat me to it
It’s sold from Mega M/o/tors in Dallas. Where that one meth head got a red neon with one working headlight
It was bourgeoisie now it’s dourscusting ~ The Judge
All I know is that when I see someone driving like an asshole, more often than not they're in a black X5.
It's either the X5d or my 335d 🤷♂️
Last year I saw that a car which had spun out in a roundabout and crushed a bus stop. It was an X5. And fortunately, no-one was killed.
True across all borders.
Around my area that’s the job of the x3, x5 drivers in my area seem to just be normal.
Yeah, it's like the premium brands have different portions of gentlemen and assholes. Volvos are mostly gentlemen, MBs are 50/50, and you already know the story for BMW. At least that's how it goes in Finland.
The outro was the best call out for subs I have ever heard! Thank you! Setting the bar high.
BMW X5. The official car of "But daaaaaaad, I want the best one. The cool kids at school won't accept the standard model"

Roman, you and Mr. Regular never disappoint...
That was f*cking brilliant. The harmonies were such a nice touch. Bravo, Roman.
Hang the heck on Dennis, can you put all of this in PowerPoint?
2:35 this is the reason why I watch Regular Car Reviews. Memorable metaphors. Thank you. I have missed this.
You can get them super cheap over here in Germany and due to our strict two year „TÜV“ maintenance laws they are pretty reliable.
300.000km is nothing for this engine.
In fact I had the 30d engine in my e91. I bought it with 160.000km and sold it at 350.000km.
The engine didn’t had a single problem besides a broken alternator/waterpump/ac belt, which costed me 30€ and two hours in the garage.
Love the nod to bee gee’s at the end great video as always
I own one and I love it. I live in Hickville USA where everyone drives a Cummins and it's fun to take them to a nice Sunday dinner at gapplebees while rolling coal on them. (got the dpf delete and that opens the car up to about 380 hp and close to 600 foot-pounds of torque) I love it.
Ooooh I like the sound of that, I’m doing that to mine now
I laughed so hard at the .wmv file reference.
These videos make Mondays worth waking up to.
I love the writing in this one. Good job, Mr R.
the official car of where are you heading sir and where do you live sir
"it's like the chemistry of water..... and more water" I nearly spat out my tea
You had me until parked car ventilation. Living in new orleans on the north shore and having your car bake in a parking lot it is nice to have the car vent it self before you get in it dropping the temp by 70 degrees for 15 minutes before the end of shift.
Got one of these with the NA N52 I6 for $3500. It’s been one hell of a ride fixing everything but I’m nearly there 🙏🏼 honestly feel as though these are supremely underrated - mines been pretty reliable and quite capable here in Utah. For half the price of a POW E class wagon I can definitely recommend these E70’s.
Love the check engine light. It's the universal sign of BMW ownership.
These are the official cars of people who get them on lease new and trash talk everything that isn't german, if they care about cars at all that is
The smart ones, send them back before they’re a mechanical write off.
The acapellos are priceless, love ya’lls content!!!
This review was hilarious! RCR's best humor in a while.
So glad I rediscovered to this channel after a bunch of years. The writing is still amazing.
These jokes and burns are off the charts here. Well done sir.
We have a 2012 BMW X5 35d and we love it! 220k km!
Once again Mr. Regular shows his love for BMW. Edit. I NEED to see Doug's review of this.

BMW X5: The Official Car of Driving without using turn signals oh wait....... that’s all BMWs
I think that's any BMW
Any BMW in general
I helped build about 40,000 of these when I was working at the BMW plant in Greer, South Carolina
Edit: I meant that as 40,000 of the F15 and F16 chassis. It was about 6 years ago.
I'm watching this from the plant
Thats cool.
finally back talking about normal cars
My grandpa has this car and I love it. The diesel is so good, driving long distance there isn’t anything better. The 400 or so lb feet of torque makes this car take off even at 70 mph. Just tap the peddle and you’re gone. Although it has no character. The power of the diesel and the m package makes it such a nice driving car the character doesn’t matter.
BMW X5: The official car of "I spent most of my earnings on it so I can flex, but still live in a shithole apartment, eating ramen and discount produce."
"It's like driving a Microsoft Zune". Lol
My co-worker has one. Fun fact, the alternator charging control is part of the ECM and if the 12 volt battery dies and you try to replace it yourself, you have to have a BMW dealer run a "new battery calibration" command which they charge like $125 to do...maybe...because they may be upset they didn't get to also sell you a $400 battery and may refuse to do it.
When you mentioned Evan at around the 3:30 mark I actually had to go back a couple of times while watching to make sure you didn’t say Dennis for some reason lol
Diesel X5: The official car of business moms who sometimes forget they had a kid
"It's like driving a Microsoft Zune." Fucking brilliant.
My dad wanted one of these back in about 2014. I scumbagged him into getting a 5 series sedan with the same deisel engine, and he still says it was one of the best cars he's ever owned
I towed my racecar trailer with one of these for like 4 months before the trans blew up. Good luck dude.

God bless her mouth... I mean her soul.
I never would have bought one but my uncle passed and left me his 2011 turbo diesel BMW. It had 21,000 miles on it it came from Naples Florida kept in the garage and low miles 2017 got the car now it has 385,000 MI on it still running strong first diesel vehicle I ever owned.. I use it for daily driver it's very smooth on the highway it has nice room inside and I will drive it to it blows up. Then when I'm not driving that I drive my 1969 Chevy pickup truck my dad bought it new showroom condition I drive that in the summer I add vintage Air conditioning I redone the motor 6 years ago punched out to 327 a little nice posi rear nice headers not to loud . But this BMW did not give me an ounce of problems all I did was the service my buddy is a mechanic that works on diesel vehicles everyday vehicles and sports cars and old hot rods.. it is a little noisy when it's at the red light idling but when you take off it is smooth as silk and plenty of power and cargo room for what it is.... I would not buy another BMW not my cup of tea . I was very thankful of getting the vehicle that was left to me and I was impressed of the gas mileage how it rode and how many miles it's lasting so far.... But I do love my Chevy pickup trucks from 1979 and down.. and I do not take the BMW to a Harley Davidson show I take my 69 Chevy and tow it with Americana a Chevy pickup. All around the BMW did me well then it's still going everything works stil and great in rain and snow AWD is nice ... The only complaint I have is a navigation screen it's fading a little bit and also the headlights get fogged up so I had to get the head light cleanup kit which I have to use every other year because the sun I guess makes the plastic turn darker.... And I'm not too fond of the folding armrest glove box. Very good video you did I did laugh thank you LOL
Great Beegees parody at the end, Roman!
We need more diesels in rcr

Dennis: if Harold Slovinski owns X5 instead of Honda Accord
These cars are built for middle class Europeans who want to feel powerful, not for people who actually plan on using the 4x4 for its intended purpose
You don't unless you want to be towed out
As an avid Diesel BMW owner, I definitely think you should drive a tuned/deleted one. I know there's a bunch in PA. I don't feel you would have thought it was so boring.
my grandpa has a first gen x5, love it
"MENUS MENUS MENUS MENUS BI FOLDING HATCH BI FOLDING TURBOS" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
"It's like driving a Microsoft Zune" Kids today will have no idea what a Microsoft Zune is
My parents had a '05 X5. Their need was a family-sized SUV that can take your kids, a dog or suitcases in the boot, and can tow a horse float with two horses.
In Australia, your options in 2011 were the X5 or a Toyota Land Cruiser.
My parents never buy new, so in 2011 they were comparing an 05 X5 to an 05 LC. The LC was MORE EXPENSIVE.
This was sobering review. Thanks!
