Hesitantly, I walked up to the car. Yes, it looks better in person — but can you call it pretty? I wasn't sure yet. Once you get inside, that's when it hit me. BMW did it.

After months with the BMW X5 50e, it’s time for an honest and down-to-earth long-term review. No sales talk, no technical blah blah — just how this car really lives in everyday use. And I can sum it up very simply:

I love this car. Truly.

But let me explain why.

The BMW 2 Series Gran Coupé is one of those cars many people have a strong opinion about without ever having driven it.
“Front-wheel drive.”
“Not a real BMW.”
“More lifestyle car than driver’s car.”

I'll be honest — the i4 has been on my radar for a while. Ever since the first M4, I've been a fan of the entire 4 Series. It takes the practicality of a 3 Series and adds more zing to it. When BMW launched the i4, my interest was immediately piqued. The idea is straightforward and quite good: take an already good-looking car and turn it into an EV.

Let me be upfront about something. I drove this back to back with the iX3 Neue Klasse. That's not entirely fair. But that's exactly what happened, and pretending otherwise wouldn't be honest reviewing.

So, how good is the BMW X5 50e? In this extensive review, I’ll take you through the highs and lows of BMW’s top hybrid SUV and why it’s really a bargain.
