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

[@SamCarLegion]

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.

[@torobull7470]

You are a cry baby!

[@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...

[@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.

[@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.

[@Farfignewton29]

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.

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 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

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

mgerren88 Plan 1: if you own other cars and you wont daily this, get a used one with high milage and low cost, that way most problems have gone, and you can fix it.
