    If I was looking for an E70, I'd probably go for the base RWD 3 litre petrol... The others are just too risky... I do however prefer the E70's interior to the old E53 X5 as it just looks nicer and is better quality in my opinion...
    Great review 👍

    • @JJonCars
      @JJonCars  Рік тому

      Cheers Martin. I couldn't find any information about a RWD model, I wonder if they didn't sell it in the UK. The interior is really nice in this X5. I've not made my mind up on what I think about the E53 exterior looks vs this car - I think the old one looks like a big toy, which is kinda cool. The E70 looks more like a grown-up proper modern car 😄

    Hello JJ, let me ask you a question. What is the value of this 13 year E70 BMW X5 used car in the UK? I bought this American version in 13 years and have been using it in China without any problems, but it has been a long time and I have been considering whether to sell it! Questions from China.

    • @JJonCars
      @JJonCars  8 місяців тому

      Hello. I think in the UK it is worth around £14 - £15,000. But it will probably be different value in China!

    I wouldn't be a big fan of BMW because of reliability and cost of repairs. but if i buy an suv probably would be a Vitara only weights 1.2 tons lighters then some hatchbacks and you can get good mpg and they have a great boxy van type shape and you can get it in all wheel drive as well

    If you love suboptimal then yes, buy it.
