do u recommend buying a 2009 x5 4.8i with 140k miles on it for 9k with sports seats n sunroof moonroof n stuff in the USA? OR 2009 x5 xDrive35d with 170k miles o it for 8k in the USA??
I reviewed the model of x5 after this one with the digital screen which looks so good. Ur welcome to check it out if ur in the market for this type of car
I also got a 20 year old BMW Z3 1.9, it's a great daily driver and agree 100% if you do your routine maintenance, replace things when they needed replaced like all cars they can be very reliable. Love BMW's because even after twenty years the car still looks great, timeless design, plus parts are very easy to get.
I've had my 07 X3 for 4 years with very few problems. It drives great like all B-mers do. The sunroof didn't work when I bought it (the reason for the good price). Found out it was unplugged because the interior cover was jammed. The only problem is the rain getting on the floor constantly so I'm trading it for an X5.
@@jlopez8595 go and buy VW or Audi or other shits!!! BMW are great and the only one which hate them are the cheep people which envy to bimers owners. Own it and than speak about them ....
my 2006 e53 x5 has lots of extras , panoramic roof , 20 alloys , sport suspension, heated seats steering wheel , with all this is more reliable car then the newer model.
This is actually the exact video I was looking for as I'm looking into purchasing a used 2008 BMW X5 3.0 and am hesitant since it's super beautiful, but we all know how expensive it is to repair ANY European car as they are not the most reliable.
It's just that European luxury cars are so notorious for having major issues out of the blue and costs thousands as if after it's repaired they'll give it back to me with 24kt white gold parts to cost so much. For something that costs so much to begin with, you'd expect a little reliability.🤷🏻♂️

Always had BMW's so no need to say declare I am a fan, however the last car I bought used X5 5.0 has only given me headache. Not so sure I return to BMW again.
Bought a 2008 e70 brand new, plethora of rattles, noisy suspension . Was Only good on highways, this is in Sydney. I'm so angry at this brand, som many visits to the dealership to resolve issues in the first 3 months of ownership mostly rattles. Front lower control arms had to be replaced within first 3 months. Owned the car for 8 years , fixing rattles all those years, mainly in the rear boot area. Coolant leaks developed with a cracked reservoir on the 5th year. 20,000km after 8 years as it was hardly used. Never again - BMW. Settled with a Toyota, a little boring but I have forgotten where the potholes were.
so u basically are angry cuz you can feel the road on a SPORT SAV ? if u want an off road vehicle buy a fucking boat 0 feel off road shit toyota not a bmw wich was made to be driven sporty and give road feedback.
Lineage2MediaCom No I'm not angry because I couldn't go off-road I'm angry because the suspension failed when the car was under 2000km, rattles and squeaks from rear trunk still under 2000km, I'm angry as I bought it brand new and received no support from BMW in resolving the issue. The car was rattling from various corners like I mentioned earlier. It was hardly used
Car drives like no other. It's great and fun to drive. But I think it's important to give some feedback interns of long term reliability , not just the way it drives
I have driven perhaps 20 vehicles over decades, and I have never had a "rattle' problem. My thinking is that noise bothers some people, and they have unrealistic expectations about the sounds a vehicle makes. My wife has never noticed a rattle. Nor my family members. I can't find anyone with a "rattle" problem, but there are people who are driven crazy by them who complain. Go get yourself a nice cushy soft Lexus RX and float down the road.
As a former long term (4 decades) I an say BMW have a presence. However to own one out of warranty is an exercise in high maintenance with failures that should not be accepted in a vehicle of this stature! Our current 750Li is our last BMW, we have had it with such common failures across the line. Thanks for your honest review!
Stiff ride, but we have great roads, so not a big deal. I got out of a loaded Tahoe LT and into our X5 with standard stereo and the BMW sounded a lot better. Maybe it's an upgrade, I got it CPO. But it holds its own. Few suvs handle so well, especially at speed. Very confidence inspiring and fatigue reducing on trips. Throttle tip in is sluggish (petrol I6) Brakes are fantastic Ergonomics are typical BMW, ok once you get used to it but not intuitive at all. Soft close doors are nice. Visibility is good. Sport seats are decent, but a little hard. Not nearly as good as Volvo. Passenger front seat legroom is bizarrely tight for this size vehicle. I6 struggles some under the nearly 5,000 lbs. Fine once it's moving, but not effortless acceleration, it works for it. Great looking Well built in terms of fit/finish and lack of signs of aging(garaged) Tires are expensive. $950 for a set of rears, installed. Runflats ride rougher than reg, but no spare on ours. Great overall size. Not too big, not too small.
I got a x5 2004 ,changed same parts like door handels ,suspentions ,but is still one of the best i driven,and at 450k still drives fully loaded and a 2t trailer behind with easy ,my nissan with the same km,was half dead, But i belive diesel 3l are better
Hi, I have a full equipped 2011 X5 E70 50i with 46k km. I have bought a new DME, injectors failure solved, turbos and catalytic converter. I really like the car, but in your opinion it is time to sell because of the issues? 2009 GTS edition 3 with 20k km it is a good option?
loved your video and the frank way you presented it. I was looking into buying a 2008 and like your country, my countries roads are really shitty. I might check out the Lexus RX, too many issues on these guys.
Stay away from E70 4.8 V8 2007-2010 with the N62 engine - I missed to check for capital problems ... so it happened to me too ... was a $8k problem "water leak" in the engine ... but I fixed it for $40 ... so I survived the problem, but hated that BMW did know the problem for years... shame
My dad bought a 2008 35d back in 2014, I mainly use it now and it drives great! In the 7 years of owning it the maintenance hasn't been bad. The things that stand out is replacing the air suspension once, then a quite big accident back in 2016 on the autobahn while driving 210 km/h (accident repairs like bumpers and side airbags) and lately gearbox problems caused by a scamming mechanic that didn't change the gearbox oil (changed oil and its fine now) and a few electrical gremlins like lights and the parking brake getting stuck, but that's an easy fix and only happened once. Other than that its great, the ride is very comfortable and it has good performance. The sound is pretty good in my opinion, it handles great and has tonnes of space for cargo and people. Also fuel economy is good. The only things I dislike about the car is the fact it doesn't have a heated steering wheel in the winter and no HUD. But that's not really the cars fault, we bought it used, so we obviously couldn't pick and choose what options the car had.
@@petarcolic8579 I don't have an exact number last time i looked it was around 10 km/l and it usually stays around there unless you drive on highways for a while.
I had a 2008 X5. Had so many issues with it. Starter, oil pan leak, coolant leak that cannot be fixed, replaced valve covers, clock is off, battery drain, check engine light, sensors,etc.. All within one year of ownership after warranty expired. I was scared to drive it to see what warning light would come on next. Very expensive. I'm scared to buy another BMW.
Damn bro! now im scared ... i have 2 options a 2007 X5 or a 2007 S-class ... im trying to weigh it up, both are money pits though, but i didnt know BMW is this bad. I just sold my 2009 C-class and it was HELL!!!! even though i loved the car so much, it gave me lots of problems
BMW 5 XL model vs other models 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?
Looking at a 2008 x5 with the 4.8 v8 engine. 100 thousand miles. Any things to look at or check for before purchasing? Im worried about reliability with it being a 2008 BMW.
Don't forget 2011-1012 N55 spun bearings. Just spent 8k on replacing an engine because of this. Great car, but spinning a bearing for no reason at all is insane. Just Google it,, a lot of people with a spun bearing and nothing to do but replace the engine. The cost of replacing a shaft and piston is easily going to be the same as a new engine. 20k from BMW, 9k from independent BMW mechanics. And there are no N55 engines out there cheap like the N54. I literally have to keep a timebomb because I have 14k in purchase and 8k in an engine.
I have a 2011 x535d for $13,000 nearby and has 190,000 miles on it. Seeing this is alot of miles how reliable is the diesel engine and what about everything else? Any help is appreciated
The timing chain can be more worn-rattling noise after cold start, also the injectors, DPF filter and the two turbochargers, these are the most expensive things. Also if it has automatic gearbox, then that can be also worn-mainly if the transmission oil has not been changed. Regular maintance history is a big advantage.
I have to say that this is the best review video I've seen, I am upgrading from a 2005 4.8is and was looking at a 2010, can you let me know which would be the best one to get? I laughed so hard in this video as well, great job brother
I would personally choose the 4.8i, the 6 cylinder petrol engines are good as well but a V8 is still a V8 from the diesel engines the 35d / 3.0sd is the most reasonable choice
one question please help me with an advice. I HAVE A M.BENZ W211 270 DIESEL ,(2004) BUT ITS WITH MANUAL GEARS ..I WANT TO SWITCH TO AN AUTOMATIC GEARBOX ,DO U RECOMEND ME THIS ,AND IF YES WHICH DIESEL ENGINE SHOULD I CHOOSE ,270,220 OR 320 ? HELP ME I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
Well, the manual gearbox is always more reliable than the automatic, but if the automatic gearbox is in good condition and you change the oil in it regulalry after 60 000 km, then it should be also all right: From the 270, 220, 320 engines you can choose whichever you want, but I would recommend the 270 and the 320
the X6 E71 has similar reliability as this X5 the 30d and 40d diesel engines are good, from the petrol engines I would avoid the 4.4l V8 - 50i problems with the high pressure fuel pumps or injectors can occur+the usual petrol/diesel engine issues, but at 110 000 km you shouldn't have a lot of issues however I would definitely keep some extra money for the additional maintenance and find an independent BMW specialist
BMW skimp on quality of parts that are prone to wear, hence most parts are only manufactured for upto 100K lifespan. I have an X3, love the drive, but have to be on top of maintenance or else things start breaking. I also have a Honda CRV done 400K!! and still going strong, engine is really dry, never looked after it well, but it keeps giving.
Any suggestions on a fix for the display on my 2007 4.8i? It just went white one day and hasn't worked since. We also have random parking brake warnings, but it doesn't seem to mean anything yet. Love the vehicle after buying it used 2 months ago, but a little afraid of possible computer issues already....
I own my 7 years now and had the lowest consumption with 10,5i and in hilly areas short distances about 24,8l ... over all about 17l - but if you count the 355 little horses very often ... not under 22l ... I would never buy a V8 BMW from the E70 Series again ... that a Benz!! I have a GLE and GL too ... much better...
My wife has 220,000km's on her 2008 4.8i X5. Still going strong with nothing but regular maintenance. I take it you're just a another mindless, ignorant BMW hater.
But these "hatreds" are not based on simple say but experience of viewing people suffering from the brand. I would love to buy a used 2014 X5, but the infamy of BMW reliability has me spooked. My money is actually my wife and kid's money (i dont care about my life/pleasures) and I cant be careless with it.
@@adilkhan3584 you also don't know how much neglect there is involved in 'others' ownership experience. Of course someone who regularly neglects routine maintenance will obviously experience issues and problems so your argument, while not without merit, isn't 100% valid either.
My wife has the 2011 Diesel X5 with sport package. It's been a great car except for the shitty plastic interior that creaks as your drive down the road , the peeling of the black areas (BMW says its from having hand lotion but that's BS), and the guminess of the door handles that are rubber but end up turning black after awhile. Honestly... no major issues.
the X5 and X6 are technically the same, so it doesn't matter which one you choose for example this X5 is not a bad car, but it really depends if you can find one which is in good shape, and keeping some extra money for the additional repairs is definitely a good idea mainly if you are buying this kind of a used luxury car
I reviewed the x5 30d which comes after this one, with the digital screen which looks so good. Ur welcome to check it out if ur in the market for this type of car
Hi. I need some help and advise. I'm looking out to buy BMW X6 V8 2009 -80,000 KM done in good condition. I would like to keep this for next 2 yrs with not much to spend on Maintanance. Is it worth going for it ? Pls advise
Which is the most reliable TD engine of this car? My father in law really wants one, but I'm afraid it will be in service all the time :D trying to find the most reliable possible. n/a petrol engines are out of his price range, that is why I'm searching for TDs
Hi, I listen you many times. Thanks you I have now a beautiful passat CC 2010 that runs as an arrow! I use my cars to travel in highways. I am curious to learn more about 2010 BMW X5M. Would you advice me about this SUV please?Thank you very much.
Hi the reliability of the X5M is actually not bad, but it really depends on the actual condition of the car and if the previous owner abused it or not -but generally speaking the injectors can fail / leak even after 100 000 km, so I would be definitely prepared to change them -the turbochargers can fail as well, although mostly on the abused cars -and oil consumption can also occur, again mostly on the badly maintained or abused cars the gearbox or differentials should be ok, and the usual stuff like the tires or brakes will be obviously more expensive to replace other than this it’s not a bad engine, but as I said it really depends on how the previous owner treated it so if you have extra money for the maintenance and fuel then ok, if not, then I would choose something else

Thats funny i had problems with everything he said but never broke down on me. Im big diy person though so was not bad , sold with 167k miles running good just had to add 1 quart of oil every month.
I’m buying my first used car should I get this 2008 BMW X5 it’s has 220,000 miles 1 owner and he says it’s been taken care of I won’t be on the highway just in the city I like it but don’t have money to waste someone plz help should I buy or wait
thats a pretty high mileage so in this case you should be ready to rebuild the engine, gearbox (if these parts were not repaired already) + if you want to buy a BMW like this then have a good independent mechanic who is familiar with these cars

best commentary ever! lol, loved the "Blip" sound effect when he cursed, haha. Good stuff though.
I got a x5 2004 ,changed same parts like door handels ,suspentions ,but is still one of the best i driven,and at 450k still drives fully loaded and a 2t trailer behind with easy ,my nissan with the same km,was half dead,
But i belive diesel 3l are better
LMFAO dude had me at the camels line!
shaking the shit out of me lol
This guy is raw about these high end SUV... :)
Hi, I have a full equipped 2011 X5 E70 50i with 46k km. I have bought a new DME, injectors failure solved, turbos and catalytic converter.
I really like the car, but in your opinion it is time to sell because of the issues? 2009 GTS edition 3 with 20k km it is a good
option?
Please I need help here , I have a bmw x5
2007 model , the leg is not coming up , what do I do now
Great review i like your video and i am going to buy that x5 model! greetings to you Slovakian broethers from Serbia 😊 keep making good videos.
Thank you for sharing your input 👏🏿👏🏾👏🏻👏🏽👏🏼
loved your video and the frank way you presented it. I was looking into buying a 2008 and like your country, my countries roads are really shitty. I might check out the Lexus RX, too many issues on these guys.
It's possible that you can make a review of Lexus RX ? You advices are helpful. Thank you
Stay away from E70 4.8 V8 2007-2010 with the N62 engine - I missed to check for capital problems ... so it happened to me too ... was a $8k problem "water leak" in the engine ... but I fixed it for $40 ... so I survived the problem, but hated that BMW did know the problem for years... shame
Compared to Ranger Rover problems, I can live with these problems.
I heard about those. They really are true??
My dad bought a 2008 35d back in 2014, I mainly use it now and it drives great!
In the 7 years of owning it the maintenance hasn't been bad.
The things that stand out is replacing the air suspension once, then a quite big accident back in 2016 on the autobahn while driving 210 km/h (accident repairs like bumpers and side airbags) and lately gearbox problems caused by a scamming mechanic that didn't change the gearbox oil (changed oil and its fine now) and a few electrical gremlins like lights and the parking brake getting stuck, but that's an easy fix and only happened once.
Other than that its great, the ride is very comfortable and it has good performance. The sound is pretty good in my opinion, it handles great and has tonnes of space for cargo and people. Also fuel economy is good.
The only things I dislike about the car is the fact it doesn't have a heated steering wheel in the winter and no HUD.
But that's not really the cars fault, we bought it used, so we obviously couldn't pick and choose what options the car had.
@@petarcolic8579 I don't have an exact number last time i looked it was around 10 km/l and it usually stays around there unless you drive on highways for a while.
I currently have a white x3 e83 petrol, very soon i will trade it in with this model,i can't wait to get great mpg while driving a sporty suv
2022 this car still look beautiful.
Thank you for good car reviews!
Friend of mine who has this Bmw x5 was joking with me about mercedes. He has x530 d and the engin cracekd
I had a 2008 X5. Had so many issues with it. Starter, oil pan leak, coolant leak that cannot be fixed, replaced valve covers, clock is off, battery drain, check engine light, sensors,etc.. All within one year of ownership after warranty expired. I was scared to drive it to see what warning light would come on next. Very expensive. I'm scared to buy another BMW.
Damn bro! now im scared ... i have 2 options a 2007 X5 or a 2007 S-class ... im trying to weigh it up, both are money pits though, but i didnt know BMW is this bad.
I just sold my 2009 C-class and it was HELL!!!! even though i loved the car so much, it gave me lots of problems
@@TsarOfRuss The S class is much more dangerous pick in terms of reliably, in my opinion, anyway what did you choose? :)
What dis u buy then?
BMW 5 XL model vs other models
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?
Looking at a 2008 x5 with the 4.8 v8 engine. 100 thousand miles. Any things to look at or check for before purchasing? Im worried about reliability with it being a 2008 BMW.
Awesome review thank you :)
fn epic mate blunt and right to the point I know know wtf to look at when buying cheers and thx very much
I freaking loved the subtitles... made my day
Don't forget 2011-1012 N55 spun bearings. Just spent 8k on replacing an engine because of this. Great car, but spinning a bearing for no reason at all is insane. Just Google it,, a lot of people with a spun bearing and nothing to do but replace the engine. The cost of replacing a shaft and piston is easily going to be the same as a new engine. 20k from BMW, 9k from independent BMW mechanics. And there are no N55 engines out there cheap like the N54. I literally have to keep a timebomb because I have 14k in purchase and 8k in an engine.
I have a 2011 x535d for $13,000 nearby and has 190,000 miles on it. Seeing this is alot of miles how reliable is the diesel engine and what about everything else? Any help is appreciated
The timing chain can be more worn-rattling noise after cold start, also the injectors, DPF filter and the two turbochargers, these are the most expensive things. Also if it has automatic gearbox, then that can be also worn-mainly if the transmission oil has not been changed. Regular maintance history is a big advantage.
I have to say that this is the best review video I've seen, I am upgrading from a 2005 4.8is and was looking at a 2010, can you let me know which would be the best one to get?
I laughed so hard in this video as well, great job brother
I would personally choose the 4.8i, the 6 cylinder petrol engines are good as well but a V8 is still a V8
from the diesel engines the 35d / 3.0sd is the most reasonable choice
@@differentcarreview-dcr are you against bmw because you just hate it or do you know what you talk about
different car review e53 x5 4.8 is one of the best x5 ever made.
one question please help me with an advice. I HAVE A M.BENZ W211 270 DIESEL ,(2004) BUT ITS WITH MANUAL GEARS ..I WANT TO SWITCH TO AN AUTOMATIC GEARBOX ,DO U RECOMEND ME THIS ,AND IF YES WHICH DIESEL ENGINE SHOULD I CHOOSE ,270,220 OR 320 ? HELP ME I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO
Well, the manual gearbox is always more reliable than the automatic, but if the automatic gearbox is in good condition and you change the oil in it regulalry after 60 000 km, then it should be also all right: From the 270, 220, 320 engines you can choose whichever you want, but I would recommend the 270 and the 320
thnx 4 advice man :)
Would you advice to go for a used 2008-9 x6 around 110 thou Km. ?
or same problems will occur?
the X6 E71 has similar reliability as this X5
the 30d and 40d diesel engines are good, from the petrol engines I would avoid the 4.4l V8 - 50i
problems with the high pressure fuel pumps or injectors can occur+the usual petrol/diesel engine issues, but at 110 000 km you shouldn't have a lot of issues
however I would definitely keep some extra money for the additional maintenance and find an independent BMW specialist
BMW skimp on quality of parts that are prone to wear, hence most parts are only manufactured for upto 100K lifespan. I have an X3, love the drive, but have to be on top of maintenance or else things start breaking. I also have a Honda CRV done 400K!! and still going strong, engine is really dry, never looked after it well, but it keeps giving.
Bro you cant compare a crv to a x3. Its like comparing gravel with diamonds.
Which one is the diamond
What is the best engine do u think the n55 or n52 ?
Any suggestions on a fix for the display on my 2007 4.8i? It just went white one day and hasn't worked since. We also have random parking brake warnings, but it doesn't seem to mean anything yet. Love the vehicle after buying it used 2 months ago, but a little afraid of possible computer issues already....
What's the fuel economy of the 4.8i model in kilometres/litre?
I own my 7 years now and had the lowest consumption with 10,5i and in hilly areas short distances about 24,8l ... over all about 17l - but if you count the 355 little horses very often ... not under 22l ...
I would never buy a V8 BMW from the E70 Series again ... that a Benz!! I have a GLE and GL too ... much better...
Common issues on a x5 = everything lol 😂
Nop i have for 4 years no problems
My wife has 220,000km's on her 2008 4.8i X5. Still going strong with nothing but regular maintenance. I take it you're just a another mindless, ignorant BMW hater.
But these "hatreds" are not based on simple say but experience of viewing people suffering from the brand. I would love to buy a used 2014 X5, but the infamy of BMW reliability has me spooked. My money is actually my wife and kid's money (i dont care about my life/pleasures) and I cant be careless with it.
Adil Khan nope
@@adilkhan3584 you also don't know how much neglect there is involved in 'others' ownership experience. Of course someone who regularly neglects routine maintenance will obviously experience issues and problems so your argument, while not without merit, isn't 100% valid either.
Very informative. Thank you.
I have a X35D it requires love but is a solid SUV.
Great review🙂 The Guy fishing in the PotHole sold it for me 😂😂😂
My wife has the 2011 Diesel X5 with sport package. It's been a great car except for the shitty plastic interior that creaks as your drive down the road , the peeling of the black areas (BMW says its from having hand lotion but that's BS), and the guminess of the door handles that are rubber but end up turning black after awhile. Honestly... no major issues.
I am looking to pick up one 2012 E70 with 52,000 miles and this review is a godsend. Are there stuff I need to look out for? Thank you.
What about the M50d? Was looking at that one, would be nice if someone would have some info about that model.
i Absolutely Loved Your review !!!!
is there a pending class action lawsuit regarding emissions?
Excellent..thank you
Funny and informative. Thank you!
So bro, which luxury SUV would you recommend?
X5 or X6.
the X5 and X6 are technically the same, so it doesn't matter which one you choose
for example this X5 is not a bad car, but it really depends if you can find one which is in good shape, and keeping some extra money for the additional repairs is definitely a good idea mainly if you are buying this kind of a used luxury car
We had one with the sport suspension and it is so hard, however it has next to no roll around corners
Great review! Hilarious at times!
Sir how about 2006-2007....same with 2009 ?
Great review!
Badass video man! Comic but serious
Thanks for this review.
I reviewed the x5 30d which comes after this one, with the digital screen which looks so good. Ur welcome to check it out if ur in the market for this type of car
this is really useful review for me, Thanks
Hi. I need some help and advise. I'm looking out to buy BMW X6 V8 2009 -80,000 KM done in good condition. I would like to keep this for next 2 yrs with not much to spend on Maintanance. Is it worth going for it ? Pls advise
2 years with zero maint? i agree u should lease
Would a 2012 Bmx X5 with 74k miles be a good purchase?
depends on the car itself
yes ofcourse
Which is the most reliable TD engine of this car? My father in law really wants one, but I'm afraid it will be in service all the time :D trying to find the most reliable possible. n/a petrol engines are out of his price range, that is why I'm searching for TDs
M57 engine? I have gotten the impression that that is a really good engine. Its the older 3 liter inline six. Im no expert...
Great review, thanks 👍
hilarious review. well done
Thank you for your introduction!
I'm thinking about buying a 2013 X5, which model you recommend I buy? Also what do you think about the Mercedes GLK 350 compare with the BMW?

谢谢～
Diesel might be cheaper on oil but way more expensive to maintain. Do a dog/scr delete!
@Immortal dog/cat delete :-)
I couldn't disagree with more... you're right on....keep it up.
What is the best size engine you suggest? 4 cylinder ,6 cylinder or the 8 cylinder?
the 6 cylinder engines are the most reasonable choice, but the 4.8l petrol V8 is also a good choice if you are ok with the bigger fuel consumption
There are no 4 cylinder engines in the E70
Hi, I listen you many times. Thanks you I have now a beautiful passat CC 2010 that runs as an arrow! I use my cars to travel in highways. I am curious to learn more about 2010 BMW X5M. Would you advice me about this SUV please?Thank you very much.
Hi
the reliability of the X5M is actually not bad, but it really depends on the actual condition of the car and if the previous owner abused it or not
-but generally speaking the injectors can fail / leak even after 100 000 km, so I would be definitely prepared to change them
-the turbochargers can fail as well, although mostly on the abused cars
-and oil consumption can also occur, again mostly on the badly maintained or abused cars
the gearbox or differentials should be ok, and the usual stuff like the tires or brakes will be obviously more expensive to replace
other than this it’s not a bad engine, but as I said it really depends on how the previous owner treated it
so if you have extra money for the maintenance and fuel then ok, if not, then I would choose something else
6 alebo 8 stup automat nie?
What x5 is more readable a e53 or the e70 cause i like both
readable?
any video reviews for the x6 ?
M50d?
Buy new and trade it in before the warranty expires, if you are loaded. If on a tight budget and planning on getting it used, expect major problems.
Or buy used and pay cash. Never finance a used car that's out of warranty.
What about the 2010 x5 M, there’s one for sale in my country for a good price.. would you recommend it ?
it depends if the previous owner abused the car and in what condition is it
-but generally speaking the injectors can fail / leak even after 100 000 km, so I would be definitely prepared to change them

Excellent video
no timing chase issue, that was an issue on previous engines .
How to solve
Thats funny i had problems with everything he said but never broke down on me. Im big diy person though so was not bad , sold with 167k miles running good just had to add 1 quart of oil every month.
please advice i want to bmw x3 2011 30d 45000 kms driven
that's a good choice, if it is in good condition and it should have regular maintenance history too
I bought a E70 150k miles and 4 months it broke down 4 times already. I changed all the oils and it keeps f*cking up either way 😟
I got the same model an same mileage, recently started showing drivetrain malfunction 😂😂😂😂
I’m buying my first used car should I get this 2008 BMW X5 it’s has 220,000 miles 1 owner and he says it’s been taken care of I won’t be on the highway just in the city I like it but don’t have money to waste someone plz help should I buy or wait
thats a pretty high mileage so in this case you should be ready to rebuild the engine, gearbox (if these parts were not repaired already) + if you want to buy a BMW like this then have a good independent mechanic who is familiar with these cars
@@differentcarreview-dcr Okay noted. Thank you Soo much!💫🤗
