On the first picture it looks like the G05 is much bigger then the f85 , but then in picture #2 it looks the opposite??? How comparable are they in size? Is that your G05?

F85 all day long. BMW really missed the mark with the new model.

The X5s are just getting less and less mean looking. The G05 is the least "meanest" of them all. Shame.

Interior feels cheapened somehow and a little over the top on the crystal shifter and didn't like the knurling on the air vent scroll wheel. Buttons are flat and feel cheap and just the whole overall interior let me down. The front is eeh and the rear is a little top heavy and from the rear if you got rid of the badge would you instantly think BMW? but the side feels to thick and not athletic, the body crease is two low. Makes the side feel to heavy and thick. Overall very happy to get my x Back..... |

Admittedly biased but F85 hands down for me too. I am sure the G05 will grow on me but will probably take awhile.

I can't help but think Toyota rav4 when I see the g05 from behind. IMO I think the f15 looks more aggressive.

The whole “grow on me” thing kind of proves the point. If it doesn’t immediately make you say “shit, I need that”....then they’ve missed. Fake exhaust tips, grilles that are comically too big, cheap interior, a crystal gear shifter...this doesn’t sound like a BMW.

I don't care for the tail lights on the G05/F95. G05/F95/G07 all have some interior issues that should never made it into the production phase or past QC. Also the exhaust is a bit muted for what one would expect on an M50i or X5M but minor gripe. Overall one cannot go wrong with either.
