I'm coming from a 35i and wanted the upgrade. I need a third row so this is out of the question for me. To top it off, my wife brought the car in for servicing and our CA spilled th beans on the 50i and she nix'd before I could even bring it up. She drives it 50% of the time.
I'll have to live through you guys. Maybe a test drive will change her mind. |

Pros of ordering now ...
Know the price Have it for 4+ mos in advance of 2020 Horsepower is enough Ride likely to be less harsh than a M50i Established engine Cons ... 70 more horsepower 2020 model New-ish engine Unknown price ... over 100K? Others?

My guess is that it will be about $80K - the price of the current 50i plus the cost of the M-Package and M-Brakes. |

My guess is a full X5M loaded up will be in the $125k range. That’s still slightly lower than the closest competitor. Last edited by MystroX5; 03-02-2019 at 05:23 PM.. |

Europe already has the M50d and it doesn’t have any different suspension setups compared to the current X5 50i M Sport. IMO,the only change will be the updated V8 with a different exhaust.There really isn’t anything all that special about the new M Performance Models compared to an M Sport.Non of these models have anything in common with a real M car.Its all about marketing. My guess is that there will be a minimal price increase compared to the current X5 50i M Sport. |

The G05 50i build I keep flirting with is $93k...so I am estimating $105kish range with the M50i similar options/packages. Big potential con is negotiating power. one of my dealers already told me there wont' be much negotiating with the M50i...thankfully I have alot of dealer choices.

Right now, a fully loaded one is about $105K and that could be closer to $110K on the M50i. Part of that increase will also be the result of features that might become available for MY21. |

And IMO, an increase of $12K for an equally equipped M50i over a 50i is a bit of a stretch... |

The M50i we saw in the spy-shots has the full-leather option. Although calling it "full" is not quite accurate. The lower door sections still aren't leather-covered like on the X7.

My current Audi Q7-lease ends in about 11 months and without any detailed info on the upcoming X5/X7 M50i, I simply can't make a firm decision today what to get. Heck, I can't even rule out the Hybrid...IF we will get that in time which, again, I do not know yet for sure. So for me, I need to see all the cards on the table (MY20) before I can make a firm decision and even if I'd be in the market today and had the opportunity to wait for MY20, I'd do so. Bugs will be worked out (more) and the upgraded V8 and potentially new features on the X5 which are missing today (full leather, alcantara headliner etc.) would be the main reasons. |

Funny, I am also looking to move on from a Q7. I had 2 X5s, made the mistake of going to an Audi and now looking to come back into the fold.
I am leaning to order this month or next -- 70 extra horsepower is nice but I am not sure about how much I will really use it in-and-around the Washington, DC area (my sense is the power bands will be similar up through 40-60 mph). Thanks for all the insights!

Here's the bottom line with the m50i. It will be maybe $800 more than the current 50i if you compare options to options. Further, dealers won't be price gouging. Deals will be the same as the 50i. It is not a limited or special edition car. It is simply the new x5 V8 non-m model. It will have no more or less demand than the 50i. Need further proof? Look at every single other mXX model in the BMW lineup.
