Best used car guide I've ever seen. Costs estimated and and really pedagogical
Totally scared me away from BMW! Thx!
Don’t be scared. Read my post. It’s safe to purchase a beautiful BMW. You have to have a good knowledge of these vehicles. If you don’t. Learn. I can probably speak for most people. We all took our time to learn.
Well you frighten me to I was thinking to buy a diesel version 3.0 285hp apparently other than regular maintenance should not be any big problems, someone told me to get a webasto heater if you live in cold water place it reduces the wear when start the engine.
*Well made video.. reliable information and well detailed, was considering to buy an X5/X6 but after this video, I'll check for other vehicles on it's range. Greetings*
I am so glad I looked at this video. I currently own a 330 xi...never any major problems. I was looking to purchase an X6 but my bmw service advisor actually advised me to go with the X4 because of the many problems the X6 comes with that the warranty won’t cover. He said the X4 has a similar engine to the X3 and service costs are affordable. Thank you for the money you have saved me.
u only live once, x6 is passion, better a passion than money in pocket
@@ranzizaosincero3343 I keep saying yolo to myself but I still haven't gotten this car. I don't want to be in the shop frequently.
What about x5?
@@meeka59Exactly as a busy man still grinding don’t have time to sit at no shop.
My valve seals on my n63 V-8 engine started leaking at 40,000 miles. BMW fixed that for free since now (2019), there’s a class action law suite against BMW North America.
Thanks for spreading the word!!
There is nothing like this on the internet. He mentions all that may go wrong and what to watch out for .
Also I forgot to mention during COVID Bmw has a recall on the airbags for this vehicle !
This is very useful mate. Thanks for the video gave me a lot. I am going to check one on monday and it I think as long as it have classic suspension I am gonna take it. Because it has 3.0 diesel engine, no sunroof with great loking interior made in 2012. So acording to your video, should be least problematic one with lowest cost for common problems. :D
I dream of the day to read a happy BMW reviewer.
Have a '13 X5 E70 35i with 142,000km. I have no records of maintenance from the previous owner which is hard to gauge what happened or will happen. After having some recalls done at BMW, was told my oil filter housing and oil pan gaskets are leaking. German auto mechanic charging $1.6k for parts and labor, BMW was charging $3k. Also tie rod are corroded and front wheels cannot be aligned until fixed for $850 (within alignment so no need now).
Thank as for the informative video, i was close to buy for second time 2014 xdrive50i.
Great job on the video bro!
Saved me 15k. Thanks. 👍
omg this video changed my mind how many thing can fail on this car lol
Thank you so much. On to the X4
I like these reviews keep it up new suscriber
really good review. please keep it up
just sold my Q7 because it was giving me problems and was looking @ the X6... based on this video, i guess i will move on to an MDX
YOU ARE MOVING FROM POS (Q7) TO ANOTHER POS (BMW)
Thank you very helpful
Everything you said happened to my 2011 X6 35i. I have already spent 10k to fix these problems.
I hear you
Damn that sucks. This video changed my mind on buying one
hi there, how many kilometers have you driven to spent 10k usd ? and what kilometerage was the car on when you bought it?
Thanks for the info. I’ve been shopping for one - no thanks!
Ahhhhh I been wanting this car ever since it came out and I was about to finally purchase it. But no thanks, leaning on going back to Lexus. I never had issues when I had Lexus vehicles. 3x bmw owner and issues with every single one of them. I’m out. Thank you for this valuable information.
I was almost going to buy this car 😰
I am not going to buy this car now.
Thank you very much for this good video with the best information ever!!
Keep it up bro 🙏🏽❤️
I got one inline 6 it’s @ 90k only issues first time during COVID , ac compressor some how shorted out , stock charge pipe finally went out I get reduced power message 90% sure has to do with charge pipe, under hood I suspect my radiator reservoir is leaking fluid , evap canister code , my waste gate on my turbo rattles a lot but I seen a video showing it a small bolt that needs tightening and cosmetics: headlight lenses needs to be replaced , the inside door handles some how melts (i think it’s made out of rubber) other then that I have a muffler delete and cold air intake sounds sweet ! And no it doesn’t have a resonator because it has turbos 🤟🏽 X6 35i xdrive
Valve seals can be replaced inside the engine bay. AGA tools. Not easy lol, but can be done. I have the E70 X5 4.8i. I’ll purchase the E71 with the 6 cylinder. Less issues than the V8 for sure. What I’ve learned from loving the brand is. When purchasing any BMW E70/E71. You must change the front differential, transfer case, transmission fluid , seals, and differential fluid. This is a must. If you can’t do that don’t bother purchasing the vehicle. Most people just want to own a BMW, but do not understand you are the new owner. Protect your investment. I have 124,800 miles on my 2008 X5 sport. It still runs strong.
I have a X6 40d and the only issue I had which you said was durable was transmission. Previous owner failed to service the gearbox and now its giving issues.
hi there, how much could I expect for annual maintenance cost for a X6 2011 35i v6? i drive around 8000mkm per year, and such models 2011 are with an average of 90000km
I bought recently and I'm facing 🙃 🤪 all the problems bmw x6 2008 patrol already spent 4k jut fixing 😅
Have the E70 2011 4.0D done 80k. How do I know it the water pump needs changing or do I just change it. If it fails what are symptoms can it damage car what do I need to do? Would you recommend changing gear box oil? I do 10k oil changes so timing chain should be ok
What about gaskets how can I see if they need replacing??
I was looking at an X6 or a SQ5 but after this video I will stick with the Audi. Really good detailed video. Shame because I love that truck!
I was about to buy a BMW X6. M Talked to a good friend and research landed me here. Glad I did because the SQ5 is the better choice
WILLIAM LAST my bmw service advisor told me NOT to get the X6. He said out of all of the models that come in, the X6 has the most reoccurring problems. I was in love with that truck as well
omg I'm about to replace my mazda rx8 with a 2010 bmw x6 35i with N55 engine.
such a shame I really liked the model design of this car, but I don't want to own another car where I have too much hassle on fixing issues, going to mechanic, leaving my car for several days there.
is it not possible to make this car more reliable? I think I've read somewhere, the newer replacement part for the water pump is more reliable?
Wanted to buy a 2012 x6 m with 55k km on the clock, the engine issue kinda sets me off and im now reconsidering in even buying one..
I have X6 Drive50 2009, when speed reached 100 above feel like turbo is not supporting, kindly advise me what can i do with it
Regards ❤
Damm I’m glad I seen this does this apply to the 2015 and up BMW X6 models?
I have a video on changing the inner door panel wood trim. Total cost for driver’s side panel, $160 from FCP Euro. DIY change. 2 hour job.
I was about to buy one from 2014 diesel but I'm good with my cx5
Hi very interesting video i am looking at a 2015 x6 3.0d with 50,000 from a garage can you please advise if i should stay away or not due to reliability? Thank you
Looking to get the new X6 to be released on november. Has this line from BMW become more reliable and durable? I really like this car but I dont want the hassle of driving back and forth for maintenance and repair. Thanks for this video!!
no it has become a piece of shit car buddy, trust me buddy, I lobe the E71 but this cars tend do go down for maintenance, make sure car is good
Is the 2012 / 2014 x3 engine good.
Or should i get the infinity Ex37 2013?
I do not feel like paying all that money to repair a Car that should not break cause its a bmw.
Audi and bmw have Major issues.
That why il think ill stick to infinity
Lexus.
Informative video but the music too loud ruined it
Geesh.... nevermind on buying this car! Love the looks in it.... but oh well 😔
Great video sir I'm actually just buying a 1 9wner 2010 x6 35i I absolutely love this body style. I'm not new t9 the BMW bs I have a x3 it's been a great car but the bmw bs does get a bit annoying.
Lmao sounded like u said gas gusseling engines. Lol
Hope this decision doesn't bite me in the ass the Bmw 3.0 engines are imo easy to work on I wont ever buy a v8 BMW tho just cause of the poor valve train and how hard they are to work on not not 2 mention expensive to repair.
So if I also buy 35i the v6 engine they are reliable?
Holly shit ultimate driving machine
My 2014 turbo water-pump did fail at 50,000 miles.
I have a 3L Diesel X6 and it's perfectly fine. Just change the oil every 10K miles and the trans fluid every 25/50K
My 14 X6 has 136,000km and has had a few of the things here replaced. Oil filter housing gasket x2, valve cover gasket, water pump, drive shaft. I bought a $5500 extended warranty and it’s already paid itself out in repairs. I don’t regret my purchase. I love BMW’s and as long as you know how to own them in a smart way, they’re great cars. My partner has a 13 X5 50i and his has surprisingly been even more reliable with 79,000km
What company did you purchase the warranty with?
Hey Mia what company did you go with currently looking to buy a 2017
Germany ingenering at the best hehe .. Tanks Mann .. a will never by BMW 6 .. And I look for BMW like family car .. hehe... Thanks again!
Its not a bad car. Get extended warranty or be ready for costly maintenance just like any other german car.
@@MechAdventures For me it will de bad car.. A fix my car and use minimum help from service.. I will find more robust end realabile car.. I drive Ford Kuga and have past 260.000km.. Problems.. I fix turbo, some sensors, 1 bearing front wheel.. back springs, universal joint back aksel.. breake-disc and pads.. egr! .. end that is that :-) ... Ford Kuga 2010 mod. ;-).
master yoda
OMG that’s insane! One would think expensive vehicles would be more reliable.
no unless its lexus
@@MechAdventures Which x6 models has less problems, v6 gas or v6 diesel? Im buying used 2008-2011 ones.
Great video!!! On the E71 2008-2014 are the water pump and fuel pump issues resolved after the recalls. Thanks
kinda resolved HPFP after 2012 and water pump 2013
I'm buying g a 2010 x6 35i 1 owner 101k mint condition garage kept ect am I able to get the car I'm getting serviced with recalls or is it to old.
I know its2010 model but I love the body style and honestly I only buy 1 owner cars. Not afraid of any of the 35i work as its easy to do but I'm a little concerned w the turbos. Anything I should be aware of sir?
Thnx so much.
You just told us all the parts from the engine will fall😂
All cars have problems. I think I’m buying a used BMW X6 for my first car, if it’s a lemon I’ll sell it and move on
Never buy used German car. Idiot. You will spend most time in dealership to fix it.
Will def take the RX450....BMW makes such a beautiful automobile, but LEXUS-is the the Best Buy.
Hello good day,
Pls I want to buy 2015 model f16 drive 50i , pls do you know the major problem, I want to change from e71 2012 model is always given me problems of engine malfunction reduce power once I get to 120 to140.
Pls do you have any information.
Thank you
E71 was V8 i assume, known for alot engine problems. 2015 is better but V8 still has a lot leaks from upper and lower oil pan gaskets. Turbos are under stress and heat too.
Thank you for this video. Very helpful.
I’m looking at a 2009 x6 35d with 160,000km. Serviced between 10-25,000kms. What problems could I expect
I just bought a 09 BMW 35i xdrive for a STEAL ($6000 and 140k on dash) so it left me room for repairs! Love this vehicle
@@deecisions3388 is it reliable car so far?
Hi. My BMW X6 E71 doesn't have Adaptive suspension. It's so stiff that I want to really do something about it. I have changed from Run flat Tyre to normal Tyre, not much difference, at least not up to my expectation. Please may I know if changing the Seat Cushion, and also change Suspension/Absorber/Damper would make huge difference? If yes, which to change and what brand? I'm sorry I don't know much about cars..
Air suspension wont help you. E70 are stiff. Look for softer spring coils
@@MechAdventures thanks mate. May I know what brand or model of Coil Spring that is good for this purpose?
Absorber like Koni Special Active also won't help?
Cant the water pump be permanently fixed?
Hello. Thank you for the good information you shared in this video. I'm currently looking to buy a 2011 BMW X6 4.4 V8. Besides the valve seals issue, are there other problems to look out for on that model? Also do you have an idea how I can detect if a valve seal issue is imminent? Thank you.
Look for oil consumption, but almost every single one made from 2007-2012 had this issue only difference is when it happens.
Hi, Please advice, bought the 2009 x6 50i v8 twin turbo. Keeps telling me to top up engine oil? Every 3 days. What could be the problem, where to fix and cost? Thanks
your valve stems are toast. search for INDY shop in your area
I have owned my 2010 X6 35D with no problems, it is now 10 years old 90,000 miles. first bulb ever to blow last week dipped beam, this week parking brake issue with a number of associated warning lights re braking/X drive. Apart from the rather rough ride from stiff suspension and run flats it has been very good, slightly heavy on the wrists steering. The brakes are phenomenal and the fuel consumption good for such big car with huge tyres. Original sat nav does not give the full UK postcodes, but head-up display brilliant. When its MOTd the only observation noted is 'No emissions figure given, output too low to record'.
I have a 2009 BMW X635i my current mileage is 110k it’s not a bad vehicle to own, you just have to be ready, and prepared for maintenance issues, but I go long periods of time driving without any issues, I had my water pump replaced, both control arm up front replaced, engine valve cover gasket replaced, I had to get a new Valve cover because the heat destroyed the previous one oil filter housing gasket replace, both cv axel upfront replaced, servotronic module that gives the steering wheel power fail, and replace, and I only use bmw shell oil in the engine, and gasoline only shell vpower I daily drive the vehicle so I do my oil change every 2 months, and overall I still love the vehicle, am not getting rid of it either, very fast, my brother has the 2012 X650i and yes all those problems you mentioned, he has them too, but the X635i is not that bad, problems don’t really occur on a regular basis, but you must definitely have to save up money for issues because they are gonna break, and that’s due to the plastic being used, bmw are criminals, with so much plastic in the engine, the average none bmw driver will not be aware to inspect the engine for brittled plastic parts that needs to be replaced, I had the coolant hose break off on me, pouring coolant into the engine, you have to be mechanically incline to own theses vehicles, parts are not even an issue because FCP euro sells parts with lifetime warranty, just avoid the bmw stealerships they are criminals, never go to any bmw dealership for any repairs out of warranty, these vehicles use a lot of electric, so you most definitely wanna stay on top of the battery power, low energy will trigger off other issues, because the main fuel pump, and water pump it’s all electrical, as long as you stay on top of oil changes, using only one type of gasoline from shell, and watch your battery these vehicles are the best.
How much was engine valve cover gasket with labour I think this is very common issue in v6
ali warraich valve cover gasket job could run about $600 at an independent shop but that price could go up if you need a new cover, the gasket cost around $95 but a new cover could run around $500 fcp euro sells the parts.
ali warraich I read all your message 💪🏼👍🏼
@@efrainpineda8970 why?
I mean from where
Know anything of 2017 been thinking of getting one or a x4
Good car... reparation cost more than the care itself
Great video! I'm buying a 2014 with 65km, X6 i35. Would you recommend adding a 4yr extended warranty for $4k?
Depends if you plan tuning it or no. If you want to keep it stock and your not mechanically inclined go for extended w.
much appreciated, i think i will
Hi andy edge im about to buy a 2013 x6 35i 60 km do you recommend or not ?
@@andyedgecom what warranty did you go with I am shopping
Bro your price seem way off or im wrong? ? Here in the UK a water pump is £50 and timing chain kit £150, and they don't seem hard to do the engine bay has loads of space. I am thinking to get x6 40d
I’m in Uk that’s a relief . Is that main pump? Do we need to change thermostat too? I have 4.0d E70
I'm not gonna buy any E71 anymore:)
Was near to buy the x6m 2010 .I have M6 f13 with only 64000km and it had cost me so far 0$:)
But those E71 :( dam
Ty Brown e71 I own 1 damn always keep me busy since I bought it change many things I mean it is amazing machine but holy shit many different things wrong mine 2014 96000k on it
@@Sunny-me1xq I did buy one 😂😂😂 and already it's some oils consumption problem:( I already regrets it 😂
So diesel version of X6 have less problems that petroil ? And how come new BMW having issues with timing chains coz chain suppose to be 4 life baiscly? :)
Diesel has same or more issues infamous for diesel category such is injectors, catalyst, egr. etc not X6. Timing chain blame Manufacturer for extended oil changes up to 30k. change every 10k and you wont have problem there.
@@MechAdventures Thanks so much for your well detailed informative video. I need an advice please.
So I am in the process of buying a used BMW X6 xDrive30d(245) Step Auto. It's done 77300miles.
Would you say I should go ahead with it?? Or due to your experience, avoid the purchase.
Or things to look out for before going on with the purchase.
Thanks in advance
@@papakyei-yamoah1788 Hi, due to a complikacy and design i personally dont like diesels also because fuel efficiency and torque benefit is minimal compared to modern gasoline engines. Bmw will have lots of electrical issues among the diesel specific ones such is def heater oul cooler gasket and others, if you are mechanically inclined and like to work on your vehicle and you like design of it, go for it. But if you on tight budget and shop rates are your only option i would say run as fast as you can away from any bmw over 80-100k mil. Stick with toyota/lexus
@@MechAdventures I am really touched by your prompt response. That really means a lot. I wish you well in all you do.

I am hoping to buy 2014 BMW Xi 50.Aside from the value seals what Should i look out for?
What kinda of warranty should I buy for this car?
What state are you based Incase I buy one
Hi, 2014 is no more case for valve seals issue, but check for front brake rotors as they are expensive and upper oil pan gasket. Im Canada based. Thx
Thanks for the response.I wish you were based in the States.I would have chosen you as my BMW specialist.I honestly respect your knowledge on this brand of car.👏
Did they fix the valve seals on the 2013 M model?

Hello! I’m looking at taking a 2012 v6 for a test drive today. I’m glad I found this video but it seems some of the issues you mentioned are more geared towards the desiel or v8?
Would the 2012 v6 be one of the safer options for this car?

Did you buy it?
Straight 6 not V6
did u get it ?

Good question
Which bmw is best to buy? Currently thinking about 5 series and 7 series
Any bmw with n55 engine
typical N54 issues, like on the 335i, many can be DIY'd
Yes absolutely they can be DIY, many dont even need special tools, but workshop manual is handy

nr1. valve stems, nr2 turbo coolant lines

See my video on changing inner door panel wood trim on my E71 X6.
BMW parts are made in every factory and every country that's capable of the manufacturing process. Designed to BMW specs, quality control and location would differ and that would be half the reason you have the cost associated with the parts. Companies like Subaru are no better. All their parts are made in Japan, they charge just as much and their cars fail just as often if not more.
Subaru=scam
Hey bro. I’m about to buy a 2009 x6 50i v8 - one owner , clean title , 78,000 original kilometres - $13,500 Canadian dollars all-in after taxes, etc. seems to very clean. Is it a fair price? I don’t want a money pit situation …
Its good price but be ready to spend another $10k within first year.
Do anyone know a good shop in GA or on the east coast that works on the for a fair prices? The prices stated in the video? Only asking because I own one & its v8 active hybrid version(unicorn rare)😎
Prices are average based on USA/Canada metro areas. If you live countryside you may pay more for experienced shop with less competition but still better than inexperienced shop.
I would recommend driving to Pitbull motors all the way in NY

6 cylinder and has 54k mileage

Most of those where teething problems, If you really like the car buy one after 2010.
@@alekssbelskis3544 the oil pump.. I'm reallly concerned bout that one.. 2010+ should be good?
@@scprojekt1896 It should be fine as no one is reporting it as a common problem but if it fails the part is around $500 less than €250 if you're in the EU, you can tell if it fails of you have low oil pressure, check engine light or it starts making bad noises but after 2010 pretty solid if you change your oil, oil filter and air filter every 10-12K miles and stick to the service schedule. You could probably buy the pump your self and ask someone you know who might be a mechanic to install it. Service history is very important and you should get a pre purchase inspection for $200-$300 yes it's expensive but it might save you a small fortune.
@@alekssbelskis3544 ahhh i see.... Great to hear that.... I might in it for this wheel... Thanks mate!
@@scprojekt1896 it's a very good car though you will be replacing a water pump every 50-60K miles and an aftermarket in under $70 and it's not to hard to install other than that it's a very good car.
Watching this makes me wonder why anyone would bother owning an X6 unless you dont mind spending tons of money annually having your car worked on/repaired. I love the looks of this vehicle, I am certain it performs incredibly. But it is very discouraging to know just how poor the reliability is here. I have been told that if you cannot afford a new BMW you for dang sure cant afford a used one. Appears to be true is this video is accurate. :(
you got it wrong. There is no car that would not brake down. Every car needs to be repaired, some more some less often. The point of the video and channel is to pick the car and show people what and how much for specific model.
@@MechAdventures of course I understand that all cars, any vehicle will eventually require maintenance and repairs, but seriously, a very common problem is replacing a water pump, at less than 75K miles? On a high-end BMW that sold brand new for near $80,000?? I am a huge huge fan of the BMW X6, I love every single thing about the look and drive of it. I have been contemplating purchasing a used one now for over 6 months and read ton of reviews. The more I read about the very high cost of repairs, and - more irksome - the very high likelihood of needing a repair, on the X6,due to just poor overall reliability ratings on the X6 and of BMW in general, the more I have talked myself out of it. Which really is depressing because I think the X6 is best looking car on the road bar none.
@@randylawson7559 It is sooo damn beautiful!!!
@@randylawson7559 I'm in the same boat right now. I was about to get one, then decided to check on RUclips. Now Idk
I saw one of these 2008 model with 166k miles for sale $9,900. I'm guessing it had lots of issues and probably was just fixed for the sale. Lol

German engineers rarely make mistakes. The obvious shortcomings must have been intentional to create revenue.
its called over-engineering
