[@boistoys5451]

The BMW has a dipstick in addition to the electronic oil level check. Its on the right rear, near the bulkhead as you look at the engine. I had two of these. Also, the Diesel Exhaust fluid lasts a long time. The truck will alert you when it has 900 miles of DEF left. This will give you enough time to refill it.

I wonder if it was lingering on the lot too long like others have mentioned for too much invested or did someone in the service department misdiagnose a problem and they moved it along with a red light? It will be interesting to see what you found wrong. Twenty twenty three is shaping up nicely with some really interesting vehicles. Another great video. Thank you.

[@sdjrinc.6921]

That x5 might have a problem with the def system which can be costly, dealerships sometimes charge $500 to clean the def filter, it might need a new catalyst and both can be cleaned if you take it out and clean it with a high pressure water hose but you have to be careful with cleaning the def filter to much water pressure can destroy it, but the catalyst is expensive new 2k-5k depending on vehicle but you can try to find one used

[@danielventura8073]

Watching these videos makes me notice these cars on the road more.

[@Jimsathome]

Interesting purchase Randy. I was interested in these when they were new even though I could never afford them, but the diesel engine made it intriguing with all that torque. I'm surprised you are playing cat and mouse with us on the trouble codes. Perhaps a bit of a tease for video #2 on the BMW X5 x35d. Of course I'll watch it.

[@twatchko01]

Those newer looking parts towards the front of the engine is the EGV system that’s specific to this engine. I have a ‘13 with 86k miles and it’s runs perfectly. There is an extended warranty/service bulletin where BMW will replace the EGV system for up to 7yrs/100k miles from date of original service. It’s a big item too, $4-5k if you don’t get it done under warranty. There’s also a level sensor that goes bad in the DEF tank and you need to replace the entire system, not just the level sensor. Can be pretty expensive.

[@DocMackGarage]

Seems like a good deal. These don't have temp gauge as they tend to run hot as normal operation, but there is a manual way for finding out. M57 by the looks of it. Quite tidy for the mileage

[@DachsAutos]

Under 30mpg? Wow. I'm getting 31-34mpg depending on how I drive (almost zero city driving) but I did a bunch of digging and found that the 2015 year was the best balance for me in terms of cargo space and efficiency. (of course, I am nearly always in Eco mode, because I'm boring) The USB port would be for Nav updates, and music playback (I've got a 128g stick in mine currently) The 'plumbing' on the front should be your EGR stuff. mine was replaced due to a recall this winter. The main DEF port on the passenger side is the fill to the active tank. the port on the driver feeds the passive tank, which should not need to be filled under normal operation.' ---- Hopefully that code stays away, but looks like a solid car. It would would take a considerable sum of cash, or nicer car to offload my F15 generation. ENJOY THIS ONE!

[@manchesterunited1980]

I used to own exact same car and i used to have the engine light on and almost 99% it was DPF issues. Quick tip if it is to take it out for long blast or get it professionally cleaned. Ps bought mine in uk

[@baffadawaki9689]

Congratulations randy. I feel like coming down here and see this great cars collection.

[@mitchellmartinez]

I bet the reason it was dumped in the auction is because diesel prices or super high and nobody's really looking for diesel luxury vehicles right now

[@MamaMasta]

Diesel prices are down right now. It’s been a while since they really spiked.

[@BlackStallione]

Funny to see those plastic pieces in the armrest glovebox, those used to go over the cup holder area and were connected and you could pull them to cover that area, and those are always broken lol. Even my uncles X5 Diesel same year with XDrive35 or 40d had that broken. All these sounds and everything are so familiar. The check engine light could be O2 sensors? Least thats what threw the engine light on my uncles X5 when it ran perfectly fine. He also had troubles with the Turbo later going out and other stuff all in a span of 2 months or so. He sold it really quick after that and recently got a 2006 ML 350 as the replacement which is at the service right now for annual service. Another great video Randy!

[@TheObiwantoby]

That straight 6 diesel , in this exact spec is something I've been looking for. Cannot find deals that good though :( This and the ML350 Bluetecs are interesting, even if people are scared of them. I had a 328d wagon N47 4 cylinder that was amazing.

[@rjft7003]

You took it for a song, Randy. Those diesel engines are very popular here in Europe, and in many countries, it is possible to do a DPF delete like in the USA. With that mileage, it is a risk to keep it longer, but for car flipping is ideal. Sell it for a profit and call it a day. 👍

[@lovellmills7959]

It was a 10 year old BMW with over 100k miles that's why they dumped it at auction ❗

To fix a problem with M57 engines can cost you pretty penny. I owned dozens of e70 35d's in the past and at present working on 3 here in Florida and sure enough parts aren't cheap and most importantly not many Techs around who knows how to fix them

[@kirksimpson3815]

Code is caused by the EGR return spring or NOX sensor is my guess :) I have one of these X5's and love it.

[@rufusbailey1746]

A large Dealer doesn't generally work with finance companies on cars more than 10 years old. 6k is about what you should pay as redlight special at dealer auction at most for an x5 that old would have been 10k with no lights on the dash and a smaller used dealer would be the ones to get someone financed for it, and that still wouldn't be easy because its got more than 80k miles on a German vehicle. But it's an absolute steal at that price if you can retail it yourself and not have that CEL come back on. I would also recommend looking into open recalls, because diesel gate actually impacted all diesels sold in North America; my 13 s350 still has engine warranty until I hit 177k.

[@user-vy1cx3yy2k]

Because the DPF filters usually go bad around 100,000 miles and it's very expensive to fix . That's why most of these BMW X5 diesels are traded in and sold cheap.

[@drwatson1234]

In the VW TDI world kits are sold to delete the DPF system. Also maybe bmw has a special exyended warranty for dpf issues?

[@josedisarli9320]

Raddy friend, I had the same problem when the machine was still new, so I solved it by replacing all the rotary pump seals. Maybe you too and the same problem (I hope) because the dde and a sensor from the engine management unit. Surely the first thing they will tell you after the diagnosis is to replace the pump. Let us know.

I'm betting that you can get that code resolved without too much effort. It might cost a couple grand, but you'll still be way ahead. My guess is the Austin dealer is so swamped that they didn't want to bother with this one, to you benefit!

[@tokenfire111]

DEF does not need to stay topped up. This car has two tanks and they take roughly 6 gallons total and that amount lasts for roughly 10k miles. They should never be topped up to the lid because DEF then can get into the overflow and vent openings and corrode everything. When the DEF warning light comes on it means that the passive tank is completely empty and the other one just below it's full mark. Google has the refill instructions

It’s a shame the US doesn’t seem to adopt these smaller diesels. My dads got an f150 diesel with a 3.0 powerstroke in it, which is basically a Land Rover engine used in Europe ford redesigned for the f150. Such a fun truck and it gets like 27 mpg on the highway! These types of vehicles are very popular in Europe. I think you got a steal dude. Guessing the dealer let it go because of the year and mileage. They probably gave the customer like 5 grand for it, so they still made something or broke even. I bet a lot of bmw customers probably prefer gas. I love my diesels!

[@stevesposato9124]

Just as a helpful DYII, you pronounce DEF- “DEF” if there’s nothing wrong with the check engine light then you got a killer deal. Those diesels are nice. And your Maserati Quattro porte is a great car. The S is a really nice one if it’s 2007 you’ll probably need to put a clutch in it because it’s the F1 transmission if it’s 2008 and later, it’s got the better transmission in it, the 2007s with the F1 transmission needed to have the clutch replaced every 15,000 miles

[@drrick8839]

Randy, don’t jinx yourself. You know dealers have units on their retail lots that they own for too much and that interest payment is due every month. Have you ever been short of cash when you have to make payroll? First thing you do is dump a unit that’s retail-ready. It’s evident that they invested money in it to put it on the front line. They wouldn’t have done that if they knew of a problem with it. It would have gone right to a wholesaler or an auction! Then they could relax for another 5 days, lol!
