Here's Why You Should Buy A Used BMW X5M.....With A Warranty

Here's Why You Should Buy A Used BMW X5M.....With A Warranty #bmwx5m
This is my universal power adapter; I carry this with me almost everywhere I travel. You can use it in almost every country, it’s very small. I can charge my phone directly to it, and it is very easy to use. But there are two problems; first it’s very expensive and if you brake it, well it’s costly to replace. Second, you can’t charge a laptop so I have to have a second adapter only for my laptop or other equipment’s. But it will charge anything that can be charged with a USB, which makes it very convenient to have…
Which brings me to this. This is a 2012 BMW X5M and similar to my adapter is a car you can use for almost everything. With manufactures moving towards building bigger cars, like mid and large size SUV, they are also making them faster, lighter and somehow better fuel economy - but they aren’t cheap to buy straight from the manufacturer. This is why we have this, a used X5 M for almost the price of a 2019 Toyota Camry.
The original price for this X5M back in 2012 was close 110,000 dollars, today you can buy this just under 35k plus some warranty you would probably need.
Engine
So what do we have in here, well this X5M it is packed with some serious power for an SUV, it has a Twin Turbo V8 producing 555 BHP and 500 lb ft of tq and it does 0-60 in 4.1 seconds, which it is fast for a machine that weighs 5300 lbs.

Don't forget the warranty...

[@nomecaca]

LOL you're right about that. I was seriously considering one of these until I found out how unreliable they are. Only way I'd buy one is dealer CPO but a lower km one is still pretty expensive.

[@SamCarLegion]

nomecaca it’s an expensive car don’t forget. But yes warranty would be good option.

[@joeyporter3356]

Sam CarLegion what year is this?

[@Turn0vers]

How long on extended warranty we’re talking?

[@milanfilipovich8669]

You need to do better research. Stock brakes are NOT single piston up front. And that is not a straight pipe exhaust. And buddy - you have a button you press to close the rear liftgate. It sitting right there inches from your face, and it lights up .... My God.

[@skizzlemane1]

MILAN FILIPOVICH lol straight pipe 😂😂😂 yeah definitely not

[@afrosheenix]

Damn your microphone is so bad it ruined the video. Maybe it needs a warranty repair.

[@AndrewHosford]

Strange, my 2010 X5M has 4 piston front calipers from the factory and had plenty of stopping power at the track. Ya, they're still standard non-drilled, non-slotted, non-ceramic rotors, but I never had much issues with brake fade even after 30-40 min track sessions. The front rotors and pads are gigantic. As far as the transmission goes, it's not quite as fast as the newer ZF 8 speeds, or the older twin clutches, but I much prefer a standard automatic for daily driving. Chicago stop and go traffic is NOT good for a twin clutch since the only way for it to "creep" in slow traffic is for the computer to slip the clutch. Considering most owners will track this car once (I've only done so twice in the 5 years I've owned it), I'd much rather have the auto for daily driving than the few tenths of a seconds I'd be able to shed on track times, the one or two times it ever sees a track with a twin clutch. The only real issue I've had with mine is excessive tire noise, and a harsher ride than the standard X5, even with the stock tires. First off, they're run flats so they're going to ride harsher, but secondly, they're also ENORMOUS, 275 front, 315-325 rear, so they do create a lot of tire noise as they wear. Going from a worn set to a brand new set is an insane different in noise levels, but they get pretty bad as they age. But, I just turn up my radio, and that problem takes care of itself :) That exhaust sounds awesome though. They definitely don't sound that good from the factory.

[@brandonlove3444]

Those look like stock brakes to me.... It comes stock with almost 16" rotors, front and back. I have one. Brakes are fantastic.

[@SamCarLegion]

Brandon Love apparently he upgraded them.

[@anthonyrenovateseverything69]

That is definitely stock brakes you can tell by the bmw blue. It looks like he's tried to paint them black at some point.

[@sgtfreako67]

That X5M comes with large 15.55” rotors all around and 4 piston calipers in the front as standard equipment, I now because I have this beast.

[@afrosheenix]

@@sgtfreako67 so is this some junky badge swapped x5 or an x5 with the M trim package? Those brakes do look too weak to be on a real M car.

[@Tenekai]

@@sgtfreako67 I'm looking into buying one. How is the drive compared to a newer 8 speed transmission? Is it even that big of a deal? I mean, it's still insanely fast...

[@gritsgong]

I have the same car. 1. The trunk will close automatically if you press the button again. 2. The big brakes are stock. It's stock on mine. 3. It's very fast but it's a gas hog. Consider the car a 4wheel drive M5.

We picked up a used 2013 X5 with 73,000 on it. Since we’ve had it (about three months) the sunroof is messed up, the iDrive screen constantly turns all red whenever it wants to which makes using the radio or phone or navigation almost impossible, and an oil filter housing gasket has needed replacing costing us over $900 from the mechanic. Not having the greatest experience thus far.

[@roksys69]

Owned one for 2 years. Those brakes are factory, 16" 6 pistons up front. That exhaust is not a straight pipe, these straight piped will make your ears bleed. Thing was fast as snot, but I now own a nearly mint first gen E53 X5 4.8iS (Debatably the predecessor to the X5M) and enjoy it far more than the E70. I however, am a BMW purist and am not terribly fond of the 09ish+ models anyway. Early 2000s was BMWs best era for quality craftsmanship and purist cars, with the late 80's/early 90s era a VERY close second.

I definitely will make sure I get the warranty. I do have a 550i with M sport but its nothing compared with this beast plus the winter here in kc area makes it un-drivable with all season tires(RWD). Its been a great car though. I have checked a few of these and the range rover sports and i feel like i should stick with BMWs bcz I have owned a few of them and they dont scare me with their expectations. I also feel like since I dont off road, I will get more for my money with the x5m than the rover which it over handles except when off roading. Thanks for your reply.@@SamCarLegion

I think a 2013 x5 xdrive35i is a better option personally. 19 bought myself one for 18k, and they have all same features besides brakes and instead of the v8 tho has a more reliable N55, which makes 300hp, but can easily output more, took the stock turbo, swapped a big turbo from precision into it and got it tuned, making well over 500whp and I’ve gotten a 3.7 0-60, and even a simple tune could get give you 70ish hp completely stock and it’ll still be fairly quick, and just so much more reliable
