BMW X5M (F85) Review: Everything You Need To Know Before Buying One USED!!

[@Reoniz]

Would you guys take this or a brand new X3M?

[@GaryDownes]

Why are you suggesting an X3M, when there is a new X5M?

[@Reoniz]

@@GaryDownes because a used F85 cost about the same as a new X3M!! The new X5M’s (F95) are absolute beasts 😎 but $$$

[@k.c.6846]

I have a 2021 X5M, straight beast of a machine. Nothing can keep up with me, vettes, Camaro ls3, chargers and challengers with hemis, mustang GTs, nothing. X3 is very rough in comfort and not as fast.

[@Reoniz]

@@k.c.6846 ya I’m definitely taking the new X5M over an X3M!! More of a tough call between the X3 and the previous gen X5M though

[@ioannisstavrou2677]

X5M is the choice over a new X3M

[@kentbummerm5586]

I have ‘17 X5M. Zero issues, 65k miles. Car’s a rocket, very versatile, and massive improvement over the previous generation and an absolute bargain at a used car market!

An absolute beast !!! What’s your spec?

[@kentbummerm5586]

Still have the X5M? Any update on it? Have been looking at the X3 and X5's.

[@KeithBalante]

To get a much better exhaust sound, improve performance, and gas consumption, you have to do a few things: 1. replace catted down pipe to catless down pipe - improves performance, gas consumption, and sound at the cost of some exhaust smell 2. install x-pipe to get rid of rasp and increase performance 3. install vibrant ultra quiet resonators to get of drone 4. install exhaust cutouts just before muffler so you can bypass the muffler to get much better sound, but close the cutouts when you want your car to be quieter 5. stage 2 flash tune e.g. BootMod3 Flash Tune - improves performance The F85 sounds amazing now and blazing fast. Perfection!

[@jimmyz5831]

I have an '18. Very pleased. Consider however if you want winter wheels/tires it changes the look a lot. I use rear spacers which helps. The lack of Park button still freaks me out but I learned when I open the door in Drive it goes into park (try to stop first). Just changed my front brake pads - $200 from ECS and very easy to do. Drive well.

[@Reoniz]

Sounds like a sweet ride... spacers certainly help, as does stopping before opening the door. Drive safe sir!

@@haydensnart2423 so you had to get a new engine and turbos after 35k miles? How much was that swap? I was considering buying a 2015 with 40k miles. So your experience is an interesting one to take into account.

[@haydensnart2423]

@@marcalexander6450 Yes, the BMW garage in Potsdam stated the engine had seized, luckily after some time BMW agreed to do the repair under warranty. The repair total would of been €49,000 with a total of €35,000 in parts. They gave me a list with all the parts replaced etc etc. After all this i would still recommend one to anyone as it is a great car, if just make sure you either buy from BMW with an approved used warranty if they do that where your from or purchase a seperate warranty for repairs. I will be looking a getting the new model in Febuary hopefully.

[@Gichie79]

I just got the new F95 X5M Comp last week. Came from the F85 X5M. The F95 definitely feels faster and handles better. To what degree I can't say as I haven't pushed it yet. Biggest difference I've noticed so far is the F85 has noticeable turbo lag in comfort mode where as the F95 has none in that mode. Would love to see a video of them going head to head. On another note were you doing the drive around Burbank and the valley?

[@Reoniz]

Wooow, the F95 sounds like an absolute beast haha. Yessir I was around that area for this particular drive, good eye! As soon as I can get my hands on an F95, I would absolutely love to do a video on it. On paper it seems like my performance SUV of choice... now if I could simultaneously manage to get this F85 back and do a head to head, now that would be truly something!

[@ReignRegime]

How is the reliability of the f85 x5m?

[@mach51]

the new ones dont feel as tight to me. In the F85 I feel like I am connected to the car. In the newer one I feel like I am sitting on it.

Back in the day I had a 2012 X5 50i, total crap, always in the shop for engine issues, even had the engine replaced at 68k miles, and the new one kept having vanos issues. Service advisor told me to stay away from 4.4 V8, designed to fail, so I traded for a I-6 and not a single problem. Has your experience been good?

[@noneya135]

Nicely done video. One thing that would have made it better is if the maker of the video would have left out all the information about the other cars or added it at the end. It really took away from show casing the very car the video was about.

[@Reoniz]

Around that price for a low mile 18’ such as the one in the video, but you’re definitely right, a few years older and they can be had around $50k! Sounds like you’re in for a good summer :)

Very good review, just currently cant make up my mind, go with this, or add 5-10k and get x3m or x4m. More info on reliabillity and common issues, what to look at when buyting this secons hand, would make this reciew perfect. Thanks

[@Reoniz]

Thank you, and I know, I should’ve included a bit more info on that, but this was pretty early into my channels history lol!! I’ve only test driven an X3m for maybe 3 minutes, so it’s a bit hard to compare, but a few big things stood out to me: The ride seemed harder/more choppy on the X3m The car felt decently smaller, and I felt as though I was sitting in a slightly lifted wagon, whereas the F85 feels like a real SUV. The exhaust note itself was a bit more defined, but the engine noise was less. I can’t speak on full on performance off just a test drive, but I have read a lot of info that claims the X3/X4m’s are faster than this gen X5m The tech inside was a slight upgrade over an 18’ X5M, an even more significant upgrade over a 16-17 X5M All of this considered, I would try to test drive them if possible, as they are different enough that you should walk away knowing which one YOU prefer.... money becomes the only remaining variable, good luck!!
