Here's Why You Should NEVER EVER Buy A Cheap BMW X5

Edit.. Whenever you get involved with any car that BMW designed or built in the last twenty years, you just better steer clear, cos you know its gonna be an expensive ordeal

[@volvo09]

I see that so often and say to myself "that guy is driving a lesson learned" . I shake my head when I see a beat up old car with new wheels on the side of the road as that money could have kept that car going for another year or more, but with a BMW they "got a deal" and spent the rest on wheels ignoring or not knowing of the repair relationship with the wallet that is more than mandatory!

[@135iN55]

Yeah, I've owned 3 x5s. Loved all three, really safe cars in high altitude snow country, and traded them all in at 100k. No issues at all. None. I maintained them. I took care of them. Totally reliable. The car you featured showed all the signs of being ridden hard and put away wet too many times. Abused (by the previous owner and then by you.) But let me be clear. Having driven the BMW X5 for over 300k miles over the past 15 years, they are amongst the best cars I've ever driven or owned. But we all know they are expensive to repair.

I have owned 3 BMWs and I've come to the conclusion that buying, owning and driving a BMW is like dating a wild smoking hot yet crazy as hell woman. At first, it is pure joy and excitement and you feel it is worth everything you put into it. You tell your friends who warned you against falling for her they were wrong, she is delightful and brings you so much happiness and she is different than before. Then, there are a few minor issues that you rationalize as part of the price of being able to enjoy this wild, beautiful, exciting, fun to handle thing. Finally, the never ending horrifically expensive, non stop problems and issues drive you to the point of being willing to do almost anything to get away from the madness. Even the massive financial hit you take when you get rid of it is made more than bearable by the knowledge you are free from the clutches of the evil beast.

[@aceboogie8986]

Unless you get a diesel BMW (3.0D a.k.a M57D30). Very reliable engines, better than those crap V8 that blow headgaskets...diesels can get up to 1 million km easy

[@mellowvibez2185]

Ya I've heard german cars are the best to drive but turn into Satan when they start to have issues. Best to research reliable models and learn to work on the car/find someone cheap to fix it. You'd have to be rich to afford paying the BMW dealer to fix everything, some are easier than others i've heard. But if you don't want to deal with that it's best to lease or just keep changing cars after the warranty expires.

Euro mechanics laugh all the way to the bank. Nearly every service on my parents VW golf they bought new was almost $1000.

[@AdamJDM1]

While this was a funny episode, I think it really comes down to how the previous owners maintained them. A major issue in the U.S is people simply don't keep up with the maintenance on their cars. Especially once these luxury vehicles start hitting their 3rd owners+, these owners bought the car for cheap, and didn't bother to replace or service anything that needed attention. Of course there are certainly issues with these BMWs in the mid-2000s, but how good or bad the car will be currently is all dependent on its previous history.

[@aidenp5768]

Thats the truth, someone who understands. My X5 cant relate to this x5 and its older and more miles.

[@dannymoreno15]

Naah they suck if you compare to lets say a toyota. That will start everytime even with bad service.

[@aidenp5768]

Danny Moreno Toyota’s start even with bad service is they are more simple damn cars. If you really really into vehicles and love your car you know. A Toyota doesn’t have thick oils, they are much simpler cars, they don’t have so much power so the parts don’t have to be so complicated. Even a Supra, Supras can’t have 1000HP without upgrading parts, the diffs, trans, oils have to be upgraded to withstand that power. BMWs mostly have ridiculous power and torque and in order for the car to handle that it needs complex parts and when the part is bad the car shuts off or gets in limp mode so it doesn’t kill itself even more. It’s bad maintenance not the car. Keep up with the car and if you can’t don’t blame the car blame yourself. This maintenance concepts applies to any BMW, Porsche, Mercedes-Benz, Ferrari, Lamborghini, AM, Range Rover, Rolls Royce, Dodge V8s / V10s, Chevy Performance cars, Ford performance cars and even Lexus cars need to obey this concept that these noobs don’t get when you buy higher end vehicles.

I own a 2004 X5 3.0i with 180k miles. It is solid. The sun roof still works...almost everything still works minus a few things. I don’t drive like this guy. Sure a fuse is out that makes the signal on one side flash double speed. My check tire pressure light is on (so what it’s just a sensor), and a internal door handle mechanism but everything else works. Sure the gray seats need be sanded and recolored link how to below). But it is 16 years old. My internal drivers door handle mechanism also did what this video passenger side handle did. Minor fix (parts on Amazon). I replaced the front brakes pads and rotors for $450 (parts & labor...again from FCP Euro and hired a guy from a shop and it’s a easy job he did off work). Just change the oil with synthetic weight as the manual recommends. Sure the axl boots tear, mine did too, but again I baby it how I drive and am still rolling fine. I’ve had no engine or transmission problems. Just the internal door mechanism (again easy fix), I changed the front brake pads and rotors, and replaced the battery since it was old (those are big and $160) but am now getting good use of mine. I don’t floor it and drive it hard like I bet this person does. I drive it so it lasts. I love the sun roof and back built in window shades which keep the sun off my 3 year old. It’s a beater that is working for me! And I don’t give a shit if someone bumps it or whatever. The freedom from stress is amazing because I once had a nice tricked out powder coated low profile rims car. Bunch of F ing stress protecting it.

Besides minor issues such as tearing intake boots and valve cover gasket rotting, the steering angle sensor became permanently on and the transfer case / AWD system malfunctioned and was unfixable by anyone I brought it to. I put a new transfer case on it and it still was screwed somehow. The engine was ok 3.0 M54, did have misfire issues with coils and plugs needing replaced, burned a quart of oil a month, but constant problems that even seasoned metro specialists couldnt solve. Burned through way more money than I paid for it trying to fix it. Ended up cutting my losses and moved on!
