2023 X5 M Safety

Expensive vehicles focused on performance rarely get crash ratings or reviews in the USA, and the X5 M is no different. However, the NHTSA has conducted a review of the regular BMW X5. It scored four stars out of five in the overall rating from this agency, while the IIHS awarded top scores in all areas. The IIHS awarded the X5 a Top Safety Pick for 2022.

2023 X5 M Key Safety Features

As you'd expect with a family vehicle capable of 177 mph, there's a considerable number of standard safety features for the X5 M. These include dual-stage frontal, side-impact, and rollover airbags. You also get Icon adaptive LED headlights with Laserlight and auto high beams, adaptive LED brake lights, blind-spot monitoring, lane departure warning, forward collision detection with automatic emergency braking, crash preparation, dynamic cruise control, a surround-view camera, parking sensors, park assist, and a full-color head-up display.

2023 X5 M Reliability

When spending over $100k on a new car, reliability is not something you expect to have problems with. Unfortunately, the 2023 X5 range has already been subject to one recall for a windshield that may not be attached properly and 2022 models had issues with their sunroofs. 2021 X5 was subject to a worrying 15 recalls in the US. Problems included failing head restraints, non-conforming headlight lenses, various battery problems, faulty welding on the front suspension, loose front brake discs, a possible loss of ABS/brake boost, and a malfunctioning backup camera.

Fortunately, BMW will cover all new X5 M models with a four-year/50,000-mile basic and drivetrain warranty, along with 12 years of corrosion coverage. You also get four years of roadside assistance and a three-year/36,000-mile complimentary scheduled maintenance plan, which is better than that of every competitor besides Jaguar.
