    You should service your X5 at your authorised BMW dealer or service centre, however servicing it at third party mechanics that follow OEM servicing instructions should not impact the X5's warranty.

    How does the 2022 BMW X5 drive?

    Our expert take on BMW X5 drivability.

    Road noise is nicely muffled, with tyre roar only really present on coarse-chip, high-speed rural roads.

    The X5 can’t completely disguise its size but it never feels ungainly. It’s surprisingly easy to pilot even in tighter urban confines, with the steering lightening up at lower speeds. While it doesn’t quite feel like a sports sedan on a set of tight curves, the X5 responds quickly to inputs.

    The X5 has a firm ride but there’s enough suspension travel to make long-distance touring comfortable, and the car feels neither too harsh nor too floaty. It soaks up the bumps and ruts of inner-city road work zones and poorly surfaced suburban streets, though it occasionally felt a little jostled about on a couple of rural roads.

    The lane-keeping assist aids long-distance touring, and was only ever tripped up by particularly sharp curves.

    The adaptive cruise control set-up in the X5 is particularly noteworthy. If you have it activated and drive past a speed sign, the traffic sign recognition system will display the new speed and you’ll be given the option to press a single button to adjust the adaptive cruise control speed accordingly.

    The Caring Car function, accessible via the iDrive system, proved to be more than just a gimmick. On a lengthy jaunt out of Melbourne, we activated the Vitalize mode which changed the ambient lighting colour, played some dramatic music, and pumped continuous strong bursts of cold air into the cabin.

    It’s actually a pretty clever idea if you’re feeling a little worn from hours of driving but aren’t quite tired enough to need to pull over.

    While many X5s will only do duty in big cities, BMW offers a towing package that bumps up braked towing capacity from 1900kg to 3500kg.

    Speaking of options, we wouldn’t bother with the Enhancement Package, which adds 22-inch alloy wheels and a sports exhaust. The larger wheels will surely impact ride quality, while the xDrive30d sounds good enough already.

    2022 BMW X5 Warranty

    The X5 is covered by a three-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty. That’s pretty dismal, considering several luxury brands have moved to five-year warranties.

    2022 BMW X5 vs other SUVs to consider

    The BMW X5 is the classic large luxury SUV benchmark. It goes head-to-head with the Audi Q7, which packs a bit more space inside and a more confident seven-seat option, and the Mercedes-Benz GLE with its high-tech cabin.

    The Genesis GV80 and Volkswagen Touareg offer more equipment for less money, but don't have the allure of a BMW badge.

    Should you buy the 2022 BMW X5

    Is this the right car for you? Out experts buy or not guide.

    It’s pretty clear to see why the BMW X5 remains so popular.

    Its handling is relatively nimble for such a large SUV, its cabin is classy, comfortable and spacious, while its torquey inline-six turbo-diesel deftly combines performance and fuel economy.
