I rolled my eyes at your first complaint. DEF can be purchased at a truck stop for cheap. That isn't a problem with the X5
This video needs louder intro music and more wind!!!
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Had a 2013 X5 with the 3.0 litre turbo diesel.
Just traded it in after 330,000 km (200,000 miles or close to it) of generally maintenance free driving.
It tended to wear the tyres pretty quickly and drove across the Australian desert 4 times.
Apart from basic maintenance and servicing through BMW no dramas.
My new car - a new (2021) X5 M.
Was it deleted?
I’ve wanted an X5 for 15 years and it’s still on my top list for a Dream car! I think they are absolutely amazing! I don’t care what anyone says! Good video! 👍🏻
Thanks! I think they are awesome too. You will get one soon!!! 😎👍
The Test Drive thanks man! I appreciate it!
@WAW WOW! So in your opinion, what would be a crossover that would be similar to the X5, but minus all the high maintenance repairs?
@@515ventures3 Take care of them and they’re flawless. I have a 2016 X5 (F15 Gen), and 4 years and 80,000 later, I haven’t had any issues aside from one of the soft close doors failing. Fixed for free under warranty.
@@mattX5 I understand that and that is awesome! But it’s very hard to find high mileage BMW’s. I can find loads of Japanese car stories reaching 400-500,000 miles. Anyone can find a dirt cheap X5 that is 15 years old with 150-200,000 miles on it, for just a few grand. And then you look at a Toyota 4Runner or Toyota Tacoma that is 15 years old, with 150,000+ miles on it and it will cost $10,000+! That’s a big red flag on a X5 for that cheap. And this happens all over the place. Another example is the 7 series. There’s tons of 7 series with 150-200,000 miles on them for just a few grand to buy. Once costed $80,000+. It’s just proof which country knows how to build long lasting vehicles. And most people know this. If money is no big deal, then this won’t bother people. But if I don’t have extra cash to spend on a old X5, where a part will set me back $1,500, I will just go with a 4Runner. Which will not typically do that to me. Also an X5 and a 4Runner are very different vehicles too. One is good on the road, the other is very good off-road.
My 2013 X5 xdrive 50i M Sport has been the best suv...I’ve had it since I bought it new! Still driving it today! It’s the nicest body style to date!
Wow you’re the first person I’ve seen not hate the V8 any problems with reliability?
Sorry but the E Gen X5s just look so outdated. F15 and G05 are by far the nicest looking.
How many miles now
7:55 "its actually my wifes fault" legend has it, he slept on the couch for a week after this.
@User968 😂😂
He’s still young! He’ll learn to take blame for everything as time passes or become a husband who lives in the garage 😎
Owner of 2011 X5 35i with 88K miles. Had some wear and tear repair done $8K and new sets of tires, beside the bad gas milages, it still drive great. It's solid and carried many of DYI materials overall. Maybe have to consider parting away before the real expensive repairs(transmission and engine) comes.
I have a 2011 E70 3.5d that had the DEF temp sensor that went bad after 2 years. The dealer replaced the DEF tank but 2.5 years later my DEF went bad ($4.5K). BMW covered 70% but I suspect that the DEF temp sensor issue contributed to that problem. My mx issue have basically went away after I started taking my car to an independent BMW specialist who only hire master techs. My car has been amazing (8 yrs old now), solid as a rock. I always thought that the dealers knew best, but I am now a convert of some of these BMW indy shops. I have had Lexus and Toyotas, and the drive quality of the X5 (especially with the M sport suspension) is amazing even after all of these years. For some of you who are still considering it, don't let this video discourage you. There is a great YTer call ExoticCar PlayPlace who debates that BMWs are much better than Toyotas and Lexus. He has some great videos so I would encourage you to check it out. Peace!
Thanks for the very informative video. Not sure if you still own it but would love to see an updated video that includes any additional repairs and maintenance you had to do.
Own a 2013 X5 35i that was 79,000 mls when I purchased. Now it has over 85,000 and hadn't had a single mechanical issue to date. Only issues are purely cosmetics like paint chips, fading trims and a few scuffs on the alloy rims.
Man it's such a relief to hear this because I'm in the process of buying a 2013 X5 35i with a 100k miles. The owner took good care of it. I'm buying it because potholes are destroying my 6 series 😭
@HFG doesn’t the warranty cover all that?
Certain BMW's Are High Maintenance... My X5 M is Crazy. I Already Changed The AC Compressor, The Starter, The WaterPump Goes Out After 60K Miles. The Passenger Door Handle Needed To Get Replaced Due To The Rubber Melting From The Heat! Finally Replaced Them All Within This Year! OverAll She Runs Great And Looks Hott 😎
Jaime S
You’re not kidding. Mine has issues on regular intervals, every 4-5k miles
Very good video and information. Great choice of colour for your seats.
Great information thanks man
Dude it looks like you're filming on a ship deck! Stop swaying LOL
💀🤣
"its a very High Quality, very expensive and very well designed car , hey the plastic buttons came off , vent clips are broken, wheel caps are corroded, windshield nozzle broke down in 55k miles , I still love it , jeez."
I have a Volvo XC90 with a 150K miles and there is nothing broken or corroded in the car, everything still works , paint is still in perfect condition, no broken. plastics anywhere , I replaced my headlights with aftermarkets because they got oxidized with UV , they were still working and I did not want to bother buffing them. Engine is still strong.
Well i have the same e70 and there is no problem 100 000 miles
Well the only is, it’s a Volvo lol haha anyways this guy is driving his car in difficult weather condition winter cold and salt. I’m telling this is really bad for the longevity of any car
Prashant Khanolkar I had a Volvo XC90 too.. the biggest piece of shit car I ever had. If you have the T6 2.9.. sell it while it is still running.. that’s my best advice
@@stevethedonfulThankfully i did not make the T6 mistake I have the 4.4 V8
Good video bro I'm looking at getting 1 for myself I enjoyed the info you gave well presented and very informative information video is appreciated 👍👍
You could've got the center caps for like $20. But it's still great to see BMW with its good customer service overall.
Honestly one of my favorite cars as well. Fell in love the moment I saw it on Charmed, next morning I hear pebbles being thrown at my window(Family sign to open the door someones locked out) look out the window and there it was 2000 Black x5 just like on the show, so stunned I never actually went to open the door lmao. Turns out my dad pre-ordered one and it had just been delivered, luckily he had his keys lol...I saw all of that to say since the first one hes had four more, I had 2( '06 4.8 was a thing of beauty had to buy it twice.) Mom had one then my cousin got one...He still has his and the dashboard is lit up like a christmas tree but he REFUSES to sell it. If thats not a testament to x5 loyalty idk what is
I have a 2009 xDrive 30d, bought it at 90kms (second owner) 110kms and my gearbox is fucked 😩 Trading it in for 2017 model, only repurchasing the same car because of the split tailgate 👌🏼
Lol the swaying is hilarious
I also had a BMW X5 diesel probably one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. On average I will get nearly 600 miles to a tank full of diesel which I thought was tremendous it is absolutely right about the power coming out of their engine is just fantastic at lore p.m. and on the road. As far as the DEF fluid that’s a very easy do it yourself fix. You can go to BMW and pay $300 for an oil change, It is a found out if you want to do it yourself and buy the DEF from them it was $40. Total rip off, you can go to any convenient store on the road pick it up for about six bucks to about $22 for a premium brand DEF fluid and it take about 10 minutes. I also have the same trouble having to replace both DEF tanks in the BMW it was a recall item and to replace them will cost $5000. But overall had very little maintenance issues with the car and really enjoy driving it. And now in a BMW X6M which is a total thrill to drive, But the gas mileage is far from fun.
These cars aren't for poor people, if you cant afford a dealer repair this isnt the car brand for you. BMW are great cars if you can afford to maintain them.
Not true. $3000 sensor repairs at 55k miles has nothing to do with Rich or Poor...
They use to be well engineered reliable expensive cars. Now they are NOT Reliable. That is a FACT. Do some research.
There is no reason they can’t make them reliable. Look at Lexus.
BMW uses inferior Materials now a days. FACT
My dad wants to buy a $37000 BMW X5... that’s $15000 more than our house
@@tomkruze2749 afford to maintain the vehicle is what I said. Clearly you can't hence your reply.
@@mesindetrabajinv666 where do you get a 12k house? I need to move there
@@galsov the house costed 22k, it’s a actually a cute mobile house with three rooms and 2 bathrooms, it was originally 34k but my dad negotiated with the owners. The city is Bakersfield, it’s 2 hours away from LA and it’s one of the cheapest cities in California, it’s like 3 times cheaper than LA, San Diego or San Francisco. A house with a 3 rooms and 2 bathrooms and a pool her in Bakersfield is like 260k and in LA it’s like 700k
Hi . I also own my X5 since 2008 and don't have dose problems , what I can think is that the previous owner of yours was way too rough with it
You get your car washed, have the dealer add def fluid. Who fills the fuel tank for you? Amazing
I guess he calls his mommy in the morning to start up the car!! It's way above his head!!! 😂
People need to buy a nice tool set and learn how to use them instead of watching 4 hours of netflix everynight maybe learn how to save some money. I barely graduated highschool and only drive bmw and have never been to the dealer for anything, ive had 10 bmws, 330,318,x5,m3,x3,325,528i there all the same in one way. If i learned anyone can with some practice. If you couldnt fix it well you tried and lived to fix another day 🤣.
I also had the same issue. We took the bimmer to the dealer 10 times and finally replaced the DEF tank and the SCR part of the exhaust. We’ll see if it’s fixed.
mmmmmm.should the DEF parts be covered under a emissions warranty??? it(DEF System) is installed because of and for emissions to be controlled and lower it to "acceptable levels") right??
My prediction for the next things to fail: The main thermostat will not allow the engine to get up to full temperature and this will prevent the system from regenerating the DPF which will then block up and need replacing. The secondary thermostat will burst dumping all the coolant. You'll replace it, and the new one will burst too. The starter motor will get slow and drain the battery and both will need replacing. The navigation will fail. You'll then have 50k miles of trouble free motoring, but then it will all happen again. And then the swirl flaps will disintegrate and drop into the cylinders destroying the motor. Can you tell I didn't enjoy my ownership experience too much lol
Did the boot rattle? (That was a feature provided free of charge by bmw on the E70s )
Are these really the problems specific to X5 ?. I have a Toyota and the rear wiper nozzle etc is a real pain from the beginning. Have replaced the wiper also several times. Watched the whole vdo trying to get at the serious issues with X5.
In April of 2017 I purchased CPO 2014 BMW X5 xDrive35i from a BMW dealer with 29k miles. I hit a few potholes, nothing that bad I mean I am driving one of rather best SUV's out there. Right? So I to heard a noise when running at low speeds it was like the passenger wheel rotated it made an odd noise. So guess what, the service center that I go to advised that I blew a strut. This is an $75k+ SUV that touts how reliable and advertise that they are smooth off road. Great looking ride that can't take a hit on a pothole at 38K miles on it now October 2019. Do yourself a favor and don't buy one. This was a great video and just wanted to post my experience. Never again. If you have a great mechanic or you are a DIY have fun. Back to Honda. Thanks for video.
So...what were the issues exactly?
If you want nice NY roads, go outside of the city, try bear mountain area
mine is 2012 build and i have 8 speeds ....so they didnt introdce the 8speeds gearbox in 2014. :) owned over 1 year , no issues at all...just like most of the other bimmers i had .
European yea
BMW X5 e70 4.8 v8 petrol I have 270.000klm on the clock and no issues the car is well maintained ,, not sure why eveyone complains bout x5 issues !!

saif ismaeil 2007
Saif wow that’s impressive how is the bmw X5M because I’m looking at one 2011 bmw x5M at 155 thousand something miles
My 2013 xdrive 30d with 54,000 miles luckily has no diesel exhaust fluid to top off. It has the Euro 5 engine. No issues so far since I bought it last year.
Hey man, how's the ride on those pirellis? In terms of harshness and road noise on the freeway.
Thanks.
They look like gone
Are you sure they replaced whole system not just top up Def?
I owned a VW Touareg TDI diesel which in my opinion is a fine car that costs less than a X5 35d. Due to the emission cheating issue however my car had to be recalled so I’m currently in the market for a new car. I hear on VW online chat rooms that diesel engined cars need to be driven, once in a few weeks, at a speed of 100km/h or up to blast off residues from the exhaustion or something like that. Otherwise the Ad Blue (or DEF in BMW) could be easily clogged. If fact the manufacturer has a suggestion to this effect. So I guess the same principle may also apply to BMW diesel cars. Hope this helps someone.
Good point, it also applies to a lot of euro diesel cars. They tend to clog up if you do short distances etc. A good blast every now and then refreshes everything.
X5 a brilliant drivers car ..I'm on my 5th in a row ...latest 2018....other than routine maintenance...no issues...obviously highly recommend....different class... German engineering to the fore...
Just bought a 2015 yesterday X5 x drive 50i of an individual and it’s smoking when stopped after driving it. I’m so pissed and disgusted!
IM LOOKING OT BUY a used 2013 diesel x5, any recommendations on what to look out for? you would recommend the vehicle to someone or no?
if it is a 2013 car, get yourself something reliable with less mileage and less maintanace costs like a land crusier
Yeah. Don't buy some stupid northern car. Its all corroded, weathered and rusted. Always make sure your high end cars come from FLORIDA!! No salt wear, no corrosion and no cold temperature wear. Cars hate freezing cold
Thanks for the perspective. I currently own a 2009 X5 straight 6 (no turbo) and I absolutely love it. Also purchased as CPO and no major issues over last 6 years (151K miles). Tomorrow I say goodbye to it as I take delivery of 2020 X5 xDrive 4.0.
I almost purchased a 2015 Diesel X5. I started watching your videos and decided against it. The maintenance as the mileage gets higher is too much to handle. I have owned 2 5 series and wanted a 750 before my 50th b-day, But now I am not sure. Thanks for your honest views and opinions.
I alway purchase a BMW extended warranty on all my BMWs when I already have the new car warranty on it! It very cheap when it is under warranty still. I go for the 6 year extended warranty bumper to bumper platinum plan around $11.5K! Save my ass and pay for itself 3 to 4 times over my cost!
Love the video, great job man!
I don't miss those cold snow covered roads in New York and winterizing my cars! I moved to South Florida almost 30 years ago and never looked back!
Steve W that’s awesome! I’m jealous - we will eventually be getting out of here too!
Steve W Aaahh Shaddap!
Ugh! You can have South FL. I'll continue living it up here in Montreal, QC!
If you’re not mechanically inclined at a high-level it is not worth the price of ownership for any BMW.
The check engine issue with DEF is a known defect on all X5 diesels and there is an open class action lawsuit for that. Also the warranty has been extended to 10 years 150,000 miles. At some point you will have the second expansion tank also replaced bc there are two. Next in line will be your DEF filter which is not covered under warranty. If you purchase the Carly diagnostic tool, you will be able to extend the DEF filter life by running cleaning sequences.
I agree with the wheel cap one of mine fell off
BMW X5 XL model
I have been researching about the BMW X5, my
preference is 2008 onward. I have come across an issue that may influence
greatly my decision making, I realized that there are XL models, unfortunately
there is almost no information about the difference between these models (XL)
and the others. I have also realized that it seems to be a little bit difficult
to find auto parts for the XL model. I would not like to import a model that
will cause me headaches finding the parts. I also noticed that the XL model weighs
1800KG, whereas the other models weigh 2100KG. Does the XL model weight have anything
to do with the material used? Does it have more plastic? Can you or anyone else
clarify me about the XL model?
Nobody has ever heard of a XL model.
I have an '09 E70 3.0 inline 6 (non diesel) and just turn 177,000 miles. I absolutely love the vehicle but it has been VERY expensive to maintain. Currently the vehicle is in a "quiet period" and I am confident that this year will be one of the lower cost years. You should figure on average about $3k per year on repairs...mine is paid for so do the math for cost. As much as new vehicles are these days I am OK with that annual cost. There are items that I am not going to fix such as the sunroof (plastic rim cracked and it is over $1,000 to fix). My auto back hatch doesn't work and it will cost about $800 to fix...putting that one off. We manually lift the hatch, it is hard to open. I have a hockey buddy mechanic and the cost to repair is approx. 30% less than the dealership (thieves). The items covered in this video are "minor". I have replaced the thermostat and water pump 2x each, air bag shocks, head cover gasket, radiator 2x, front suspension completely re done. My gear shift gave out and went limp, had a used one installed...total cost $500. Ditched the run flat tires...if I get a flat I'm SOL. Will be giving the vehicle to my high school aged son in about a year if it is still running. We use it for frequent long road trips and that is when it shines the brightest...awesome on the open road, just a joy to drive. It is very good in the snow too...new tires this past year made it fantastic in snow.
3k per year? Lol man don’t know if I’m lucky or what I own a 08 e70 4.8 for 2 years , only done to the truck has been brakes ,oil changes , and brake booster , and it has 215k miles so far one of the best reliable truck I ever have!!!!!
@@Mrwinecontreras that's great, I've had long stretches where it didn't need any repairs at all. Just replaced a radiator hose yesterday it was leaking fluid all over the driveway cost a few hundred bucks. Lol. 188k miles
With a price tag of this degree you would think they would build these much better & with more quality & care! There's no reason why you have to pay for a vehicle like this twice in it's life time.Cost of ownership & vehicle purchase price just adds up to ludicrous amounts of dough! Is it really worth it? If you care more about prestige/image then yes but if your like me, more bang for my buck kinda guy would I purchase this vehicle? Considering the issues & nuisances involved probably not! Having an extended warranty could help but if it's my hard earned cash heck no! Great review & very informative info now I'm second guessing myself on this one! Got a good deal here on an 07' but maintenance issues really concern me? but it's a 4.8i not the diesel which is just fine with me.
My 2008 X5 was a disaster. Spent many thousands in repairs in just a few years after the warranty expired. Oil drain pan leak, coolant leak that could not be fixed, replaced valve covers, check engine light on and off again, various sensors, battery drain problems, replaced starter, etc. Looked at Consumer Reports after I bought it and saw where reliability and customer satisfaction was low. I really wanted to like the car. It drove and looked great. But I was scared to drive it to see what warning light would come on next.
Bro that's nothing lol.
Thousands? All the above mentioned can be fixed for under 1,000 if you turn your own wrench.
@@da9nerdy I thought everyone would be cool on a video about cars. Not so. There's always that one that just isn't satisfied with someone else's comment. And they just have to make negative replies. I didn't list all the problems. Didn't see a point. I'm not a mechanic. So I can't 'turn my own wrench'. Does my former BMW upset you? Find something more important to be upset about Silly Willy.
I seen one for 14k in some change should I get it
They couldn't figure out your rear spray nozzle? Lmao, u need to go to a different dealer.
BMW "Bring More Wallet"
@User968 Yes, who would not want to replace engines, timing chains and transmissions in comfort of our garages.
Be My Wife
I hit something too on my 2011 I had to replace the crossmember
Do you have issues with your backup camera. Mine works only 1/3 of the time, 1/3 glitchy, and 1/3 doesn't work at all.
Hey Johnny Knoxville, you should look at an N55 Petrol instead.
Good video, informative, i'm looking at a '14 X5 d now....under 80kmiles. I've had 7 bimmers, loved them all, you need to pick carefully, i buy used with over 75k miles on all. 2002, 528 sedan + 528iT 540i, 328 xdrive, you take care of them, they'll take care of you. earlier ones are prone to NE rust like any euro car. However if you buy a bad one, it'll eat your wallet. Drive em hard, listen to the motor, it'll be worth having. You let it sit ~ it will grow into the ground.😉
Oh good to know to drive it hard, I will keep that in mind! Three days ago, someone just traded in a 2018 X5 with only 13k miles!!! What?? I snatched it up today for a “great deal”! My husband is a bmw enthusiast and fixes every BMW for our family. He test drive it hard, the car drives and looks brand spanking new. Even has the brand new carpet lines as if whoever had it just bought it just to have it parked in their garage. It’s in perfect condition and even has rock chip bra on the entire hood & front bumper. I’m so exited to go pick it up tomorrow!
Thanks for your video. I was interested in purchasing a 2016 Certified preowned BMW X5, but I have to rethink my decision.
Did you buy it John Green, I want to buy it too.
That's BS on the Sensor not being replaceable. Also the DEF tank is the same one used on the VW diesels and it costs like less than half the BMW tank. They get scale build up in them after a while and need replacement. It sits below & behind headlight on passenger side, access thru fender well.
Thanks for the video, BMW x5 is absolutely a nice car, so my next car will be a Lexus
Lol!
Great video! Keep them coming love them I’m thinking about a X5 please do a full review
Thanks and I have a few other videos of it including a full review of the 2018 X5, but I will do a full review of this one as well!
About your def system issue on the sensor. Would you say that the truck's parts are not easily fixable without replacing the entire unit?
that's what the dealership said and since it was covered by warranty I didn't try to fight them on it
I'm thinking about buying one with over 80K miles would you say do it or not?
Also is the Maintenance expenses high?
Freddy Medina Had a BWM 3 series. Maintenance is very expensive on any BMW. Not worth it in my opinion and I would never consider buying one with 80k on it. Just my opinion and experience.
Something can go wrong with any car, but with a BMW it's always going to be more expensive. That said I feel a BMW, especially a diesel, has the ability to last a very long time, but how much money you have to spend to get it there will determine if it's ultimately worth it. I know BMW owners with over 100k miles who have never had anything break but others who have had to spend quite a bit of money on repairs. If you're looking for a luxury vehicle that's less expensive to maintain, I think Lexus is great. I don't think they quite match the driving experience of a BMW (or Mercedes or Audi for that matter), but they are very reliable and last a long time, as well as being extremely comfortable to drive.
The Test Drive thanks for your insight.
I really wanted a diesel X5 just cause I currently have a diesel VW and love the technology and the great gas mileage.
On the other hand I’ve just read and heard terrible things about high mileage bmw that causes me to think twice.
Life of Stevie G dude thanks so much for your input really appreciate that.!
Really helped me out.
Let me ask you though have you have to change the water pump and timing belt yet?
Freddy Medina me too.
Hey man do you still have yours??
I’m finally gonna get one. Looking at a 2014 X35D. With 50K miles. What should I look for when looking st the car ?
I still have it yes. 2014 with 50k should be fine. The only real problems with these diesels are the emissions stuff-EGR, NoX sensors, etc. I would find out how much warranty (if any) is left on those parts. It’s a great vehicle though - good luck!
Awesome thanks man!@@TheTestDrive
Get your self a scanner and SERVICE car your self and turn out LIGHT
How so often do you have to re fuel the DEF like how so often?
The dealer will usually do it when you bring it in for an oil change so it should last at least 10,000 miles. But mine was running low because of the sensor issue. The sensor must’ve been causing it to use more DEF which explains why I could sometimes smell the urea upon startup.
I've had to add a small bottle (cost = about $10) in the last 1500km before a service a couple of times, but yes, generally it will just get done by dealer.
Mine lasted 15,000 kms. The digital countdown is handy. Can’t really end up in trouble (no engine start). Can refill on your own easily
My take aways from this video= It affirms my long held belief that BMW's are problematic and are expensive to repair. Also, if you own one, sell it before the warranty expires. Last thing , folks can be pushing a lemon money pit down the road and still find a way to say" I really love the car...other than the long list of things that are broken on it."
They are so cheap man. I want to buy one 😫. I know I'm in for a headache. Always wanted a beamer though
For a 55k Miles BMW? I'm surprised and suspect that the car was involved in an accident with previous owner.
How is your E70 BMW X5 still under warranty in 2018?
That car is a mechanics best friend. Those are expensive problems at such low kms, you should lease the car and give it back when the lease is done.
At a gas station along the interstate yesterday, some guy had the hood up on one of these, it looked brand new and was slowly feeding it anti-freeze. I was blown away by such a new looking vehicle be running hot or out of water.That's why I came here to read about them
How is she updates?
U can get new center caps for one quarter of the price u paid from internet. 😊
Bmw’s are complex machines!!! How can you complain about maintenance when performance it’s awesome right?
You buy a Ferrari and have to change the belts at high cost ! Is that makes them unreliable? No they re not it’s just maintenance over performance... you can’t buy a Bugatti and not change the oil eventually you have to pay the 20k oil change if you want to play you have to pay 💰.... bottom line whether it’s a Mercedes amg bmw audi Aston Martin you better have deep pockets or go buy a Chevy! . By the way I have an e70 4.8 and a e90 and I love my money pits . A little older but bring your 2019 Chevy Cruze .
lexus is complex and you never open the hood :)
ferrari is unreliable...
maintain is breaks oil change,
changing half the engine components its not maintenance its repairs.
If people would learn to do things themselves they could save soo much money and drive what ever they want!
Hey What year is this model?
2012!
Newsflash to this guy, if minor little things are breaking off and your getting ghosting CELs, it not a quality car. Regardless how much you spent for it. Spending MORE should mean you have less annoyances.
Dude! You said the wind noise would go away soon 🤔🤔
Why do people say bmw is high quality and great workmanship and yet it’s falling apart at all sides. ??? Several reviews making me rethink the X5
Certain BMW's Are High Maintenance... My X5 M is Crazy. I Already Changed The AC Compressor, The Starter, The WaterPump Goes Out After 60K Miles. The Passenger Door Handle Needed To Get Replaced Due To The Rubber Melting From The Heat! Finally Replaced Them All Within This Year! OverAll She Runs Great And Looks Hott 😎
dixcreative I agree with you.
Jaime S high powered cars would all have those problems after a while. The strain is just too much on those moving parts, especially the water pump and compressor
dixcretive Most people who buy BMW's or Benz cars are just pretentious status seekers. "Look at me everyone and check out my ride!" If you want a good looking luxury conveyance that is actually a good quality, check out Lexus or Acura.
itsmegp46 almost as pretentious as assuming you know why certain people buy certain cars. Some of us actually appreciate the fit finish quality power safety engineering and reliability of these german cars, I’ve had/have several, never had a problem and follow dealer servicing on everything. Idiots cutting costs is the biggest reason behind unreliability
Left right left right dance :)
"Endless money pit"
as opposed to a Celica 94
Lol!
When you get to have the feeling of owning one you will forget all the money that you spend on its maintenance. Trust me!
@@sarkismjalli8408 I rather spend that money on myself or on travelling. Instead of a car. Not my priority!
@@tibsyy895 major go for that bro
i think only people who have a shit load of money(probably in 10millions) should go for cars like that because the money doesnt matter to them, but if someone has to spend 2-3 months salary on this shouldnt buy these and spend on experiences.
People complain about maintenance expenses, but man find yourself a local shop and stop going to the dealer , save yourself some headache and money
Once the DEF runs out, the engine will not start and "that's not a Big sean for me" he says 😂, then what is a big deal for you?
The rear wiper looks tacky and very aftermarket……….
Manufacture a longer wiper arm or shorten the blade. Preferably longer arm. This is a pet peeve of mine for all manufacturers……..
This is one of the more extreme cases of the wiper blade sticking out past the arm and almost looks like a sneaker with untucked laces.
Preheat engine in cold weather at least 15 min.
Take your car to an autozone. Or oreilly or a NAPA. And they will tell you what the engine code is. Then google the code.
Light on dash COULD be a swollen ABS sensor on the drive shaft due to rust on the CV joint
2021 current BMW X5 pricing in SoCal. Under 2010, costs less than $4500. 2012 to 2018 = costs $12,000 to $15,000....
Want to see a nice selection of lightly used BMW's, go look at a Lexus used car lot... thats where BMW owners go to DUMP their problems... lol
Trust me, You will have more issues with this x5 35D . I have exactly the same car. First problem is the front wiper. Then the lock. Then, the Active def tank which is the same problem as you have. Also, the pump between active tank and passive tank does not work. Then, the glow plugs, and the leaking air suspension on the back. Right now, my engine light is on, which is the erg problem。 after my research of the whole emissions of the diesel car. I finally understand that sooner or later the DPF and SCR will have problems too. And to fix those issues will cost lots of money. Final recommendation. Never buy a diesel car if you drive in town most of time.
Do a delete, and you will have a mini tank. You will recover the installation cost in a couple of years due to better MPG, not to mention never again worry about the def egr crap
Raul Zagarduga
Yes, to do the whole delete the hardware, labor and get tuned by Malone tuning is about 3500 Canadian dollars. Quoted by local European car repair shop.
@@heli9517 I did mine for 2200 CAD in Toronto about a month ago, complete delete, pipe and tuning, 20% improvement in km/l, more power, bye bye check engine light, should of done it a couple years ago
Raul Zagarduga
Would you pls tell me in detail. What brand of pipe and which tune did you Use? Also, the shop name pls.

Chrysler runs without exhaust fluid so why can't everybody else ?
I believe it’s meant for emissions standards.
First owner probably didnt maintain it well
Your wife better be scorching hot. She is higher maintenance than your BMW.
If it's certified why are you having to pay for labor?
Ted those certified pre-owned contracts are a crock. They pretty much cover only big things like motor, tranny, etc. And they can write these contracts on their own! I spoke to a BMW owner who said that they used to cover everything even brakes and oil changes! Gone. I can't wait to get rid of this thing. My Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited rode 10x better than the BMW that I own. That was a lease, it looked great rode pretty good was noisy but I liked the cockpit the Jeep had. I would advise not to buy one of them either but that is for another day. Have a good one
225,000 on my 2002 BMW X5 and it runs great
The problems clearly weren’t enough to put you off from buying the 2018 X5 that you reviewed in another video.
This is the worst vehicle ever made! I’d be better off with a ford escort!
“It’s actually my wife’s fault.” Oh man, those are some horrible word choices. Don’t out your wife man, you need her to like you.
I got 100k on my e70 and my buttons aren’t even worn.
Immar Hasan I’ve got 98k, no problems with mine either
Just wondering how is you guys E70 holding up at high miles? I have been contemplating on getting into a used one, that is. Some relatives have owned a couple BMWs, 3 series coupes and x3, but have had mixed reviews which has had me on the fence.
Gee_cee -me just take care of them like they did.
Doesnt make sense they should have just asked to replace the sprayer not open and fix it ...
