Thanks to my day job at Kelley Blue Book, I drive and review lots of cars. Today I’m driving a 2019 X5, BMW’s midsize luxury SUV. It’s also date night in the Muzio house so my wife and I driving this X5 XDrive 40i to the movies (Booksmart, if you’re curious). Base price for a new BMW X5, with its 335-horsepower, 3.0 turbocharged inline 6-cylinder, is roughly $62,000. Tack on fancy options like our test car and the MSRP rises to a cool $74,000. If you want the optional 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8 prices can top $90,000. That might seem pricy…and it is. Then again, that mountain of cash does buy some interesting features.

Note, many of those “interesting” features were plagued by technical failures on our drive. Steering assist worked intermittently, the steering wheel was reluctant to motor into position, “gesture control” proved difficult to control, and the convoluted iDrive infotainment system nearly made my brain explode. At the same time, there’s plenty to like about the 2019 BMW X5. Simply put, there’s a lot to discuss before our movie starts. Watch and enjoy. And, just in case my wife left some inappropriate stone unturned, feel free to leave an inappropriate comment in the comment section. 😂

And just so the premise is ultra-clear, this is not a comprehensive review but rather a casual look at the 2019 BMW X5, while I live my normal life. Simple. Fun! #MicahDrives
