Nice review. I grabbed a fully loaded 2015 as well with the Msport back in November and got it from a Volkswagen dealer for a hair under 30K. The car has been amazing so far and I plan on customizing the exhaust and adding a few cosmetic mods to make it more unique. It handles surprisingly well and as you said, the I6 is way way better than the I4, which I had in my X2. One thing I still can’t get over though is how uncontrolled the ride can be at times. It has this wallowing movement which can get old pretty quick.
Thanks man! Nice one opting for the m sport. None were available when we were looking but they’re definitely super desirable. We still have ours and haven’t had a single issue with it at all. We came from owning a 2017 X3 with the I4 and while the gas mileage was super nice, this N55 I6 absolutely rips bone stock. We are waiting for the warranty to end so it can be totally modified with catless DP’s, intercooler, etc. I’m not sure I can relate with your ride quality though as the one in this video feels like it’s on rails for being a decent sized SUV. Might want to check your suspension tuning or something? I appreciate your comment!
@@rippinmachines it sounds like you’re outside of the United States so this might not be possible but we have aftermarket warranties here you can buy that are useful. The 35i’s are very reliable though and I’ve only heard of a few issues with them and it’s typically at higher mileage so you should be fine.
It’s a factory installed option package from BMW. My current 335 has it and there’s a few drastic differences and some other small ones. The largest is the “body kit” they add to the car to make it more angular with larger cooling vents and more aggressive bumpers and side skirts. There’s a braking upgrade that’s included (larger discs and calipers) and some suspension tuning as well (I believe it sits a few cm lower than non m sport cars). You also get access to sport + in your driving mode which allows for actual launch control and full DSC disabling. There other things as well like an auxiliary oil cooler and a different more thick steering wheel with paddles. In short, I do not believe you could do it for the price the kit costs from the factory. You could theoretically do all of it yourself but the costs and labor to do it would far outweigh the pros of the package. I would just go aftermarket and do what you think is important/cool to you and your car.
ah correct, im planning on buying a 2015 x5 f15 d30 soon. As i would like a competition but simply cant afford it, is there any performance mods i can put on it? (its a diesel engine v6) thanks mate! @@samsnow13
@@JacobVolzkr oh congrats man I really want to get into one of those eventually. They’re actually pretty desirable where I live because the emissions can be deleted and they can be tuned to make big torque numbers as well as good horsepower. There should be a large aftermarket for them, it’s just a matter of looking. I’m not super familiar with them but forums are your best friend for new owners.
Bought the car like 3 years ago dude. Only had 30k miles and 1 owner and was purchased from the BMW dealership. Just sold it for a profit last month🤷🏼♂️
@@thedanwriter1 just wanted to get something newer for my fiancé. Only had like 65k miles when we sold it with no issues so we figured we would sell it while it was still in good shape with low miles. We ended up staying German but going with a 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan. Less flashy interior and exterior but feels more solid honestly.
Nice video bro, from belgium

Swap out the run flats. Problem solved.
It's reliable? Should I buy one bellow 45k miles ? 30-42k miles
At what mileage do these start getting expensive to own maintenance wise? I'm considering picking up a 35i M sport.
I would say anywhere between 120,000 to 150,000.
@@samsnow13 I’m aiming for 80,000km or less. But will be out of warranty.

is the m sport package an aftermarket thing to install? and if so does it work on the diesel models?

@@samsnow13 why’d you sell it? And what do you have now?
