course is tailored for X5, of course all pass
Scotty Kilmer says never ever buy one…
I think maybe you need another channel for things that are neither car nor truck
Great realistic review.
That is a really poor excuse for a off-road course. My Honda Civic back in high school saw a lot more off road action than this car. I had the Civic Wagon 4×4 with the manual transmission.
I like that 4K mod
Why doesn’t America have diesel? Diesel is the best.
No. Just no….
Smaller wheels and off road tires anything 4 wheel drive can go off road i would be concerned about what might snag underneath
Lol no
no low range gearing and 20″ tires.. prob get beat out by most Subarus.. I reckon about .0001% of buyers will be offroading these anywhere
I feel like you could take a 330xdrive over that same course without any trouble…
any normal car could handle that water basin !
Laughs in land cruiser
Bmw needs to lose those iconic kidney grilles. Gettin hideous
They can be good off-road but after 2 years of use they’ll become junk
You can always drive offroad, the question to go back and in one piece
Because people going off road drive 5 mph. My 2011 x3 does better than that with it’s snow tires on.
I can drive a civic through that road course
If I win the lottery, I’ll buy one for everyone who likes this comment. You know?
The only one item I like BMWs their brake systems. Best brakes in class. But other wise expensive to buy and high maintenance cars.
This is the new 5 series. Base straight six turbo is a good fit. Forget the outdoorsy thing, it is the best BMW for the city for that middle manager executive type.
C’mon BMW what happened? They use to make great cars. Now they are becoming shitty cars.
This is all good and dandy, but first, most, if not all buyers of this BMW will NEVER go off or beyond any fully paved path let alone deep puddles and ruts, etc.. second, old ‘80’s & ‘90’s Subaru wagons are by far much more capable and off-road worthy than this. Big NO in my book!
Unfortunately not much of a test since BMW set up the course which obviously means the car will go through it with ease. I’d love to see you guys take it up the gold mine!
My charger can go offroad hemi
$20K COMPACT SUV CAN DO ALL THIS. THIS IS POINTLESS. EITHER GO ALL OUT OR STAY ON THE ROAD.
You looked bored… so sad
And our final test, the drive through at Starbucks for a mocha latte 2%.
What about the new offroad option package?
These sponsored “tests” of off-road capabilities are carefully crafted to be well within the vehicles capabilities…venturing beyond these parameters highlight the limitations. Rehearsed, scripted…highly “figured out” well before you drove the course. Frankly, the term off-road is really stretching the definition here…a bit of gravel & uneven road…
If BMW wants off road credit, they should’ve given it to you and told you to go take it off road have fun, and don’t worry about it. Their own course that they designed, proves nothing.
No disrespect to TFL at all. This is on BMW. CHICKEN SHITS!
Had a BMW once. It was a babied low-mileage 325is. It had numerous defects requiring many repairs, always something wrong with it. Transmission, clutch, power window, air conditioner. Never again.
Jump it!!
