Why You Should Buy A BMW E53 X5 In 2020

[@aidenp5768]

If anyone doubts whatever he says, don’t. It’s true, I own a 2004 M54 X5, very reliable X5, owner it for 17 years. Beautiful designed SUV, it handles great and mine is mint on the paint. Never left me stranded. It does everything I need it to do, all year around all seasons, starts up in negative degree weather (Fahrenheit). It does real off-roading and doesn’t get me stuck or any problems. It’s very solid.

[@AbhiTek_]

These really are very good cars and your case is proof. They always make me wonder why anyone would buy a new Qashqai on finance when you can get this superior car for a fraction of the price? :) (Also, I think you meant to say 16 years because you can’t have had a 2004 car for 17 years - it’s only 16 years old 😂)

[@nizamthomas1362]

Yes it's all ture I have 2004 BMW X5 e53 and it is great no problems nothing .

[@bwalyabwalya2796]

Is it true that the earliest model of e53 came without air suspension ?

[@nicolas3pa]

What is your average mpg? It is the 3.0i, right?

[@Daniel_Anthony]

I just bought one so this is pure poetry

[@KeeganCarson95]

I had/sold my E39 525i in manual and bought an E53 3.0i in automatic since I need the space. Something about the era of these bm's is so appealing.

[@tcaudiobooks737]

BMW made cars of that era TOO good, and I don't think BMW would ever make cars like that again even if they wanted to. They don't want you loving your BMW too much, because you won't trade it in for a new model if you do. In fact, one of the BMW execs recently went on a rant telling people to shut up about the E46.

[@chidoriz585]

is the 3.0i petrol reliable?

[@oscarericsson8300]

@@chidoriz585 one of the most reliable engines ever made.

[@grahamepigney8565]

An E39 Touring is a cheaper and easier to maintain option and very nearly matches the load carrying capacity of the E53 When I bought my E39 3.0D Tourings I did a cost comparison with the E53 3.0d. Running costs (fuel, tyres...) and maintenance costs were significantly more epensive on the E53 not to mention significanyly more complex.

[@backy86]

What value!! £2.3k is amazing. Still love this era of bms. I remember buying my first e46 10 years ago for £4k, I was amazed at the quality compared with previous cars I had owned (fords, Renaults etc). This vfm 10 years on is even more so!!!

Same. Unfortunately mine has a vacuum leak now and I’m gonna get it fixed but honestly man it’s a beast of a car and worth every penny.

[@pmb0001]

I am the second owner of a 2002 E53 3.0 petrol (sadly no diesels available) model X5. The paint is pristine and I just hit 73,000km. The only real problem was a stripped front drive shaft that I encountered last week. Easily (and cheaply) replaced by the local non stealership BMW mechanic. I replaced the existing screen radio due to bad pixels with an aftermarket Eonon. Other than the the maintenance issues identified by the ‘Doc, this motor is a dream to drive. I just drove 1,000km in 2 days last week on a trip and it was smooth and comfortable all the way. I have to agree on the styling and and its ‘ageless’ appeal. I have owned several BM’s up to and including the F10 535, but I enjoy the X5’s driving character above all others. Enough said.

[@bwalyabwalya2796]

I guess it has M54 under the hood?

[@DLI77]

I bought one in Dec.2019, 55reg (112k mls, 3.0d, 218hp) leather heated seats, heated steering wheel, panoramic roof. It's an old vehicle with many owners and each one of them treated the car how they knew best. We all know that you need a annual budget when buying such a vehicle.( I also own an 520i-e39 53reg and sold my 635d-e64 09reg last year ) For me it's OK. I know it will ask for money but it's very fun to drive. As soon as i bought it, I changed all the filters and oil and the rear bushings - instant improvement. Now, after 12 months some of the injectors failed. At the moment is at the mechanic. Since the intake manifold was removed for accessing the injectors, I wanted to put a cancellation kit for the swirl flaps... my model does not have swirl flaps. Because of the complexity of the job, i decided to change all the injectors -refurbished (£972 VAT Incl) also found after testing 4 glow plugs have failed. Battery also gone, when we had this few cold days. In Dec 2020, went to electronics specialist for failed BM54 radio module -£200.

i have one in le mans blue fully loaded , be prepare to replace suspension control arms, tie rods , bushes, ball joints oil leaks,, camber correction, cv boots, cv joints, door handle carriers, window regulator clips , transfer case gear, air suspension bag, panoramic roof leaking water in the passengers footwell etc , the worst thing can happen is the gearbox, change the oil and the mechatronic sleeves as many of this lurch forward when you come to a stop. i’m not a mechanic but i like working on cars and i maintained it myself if not this cars are money pits.

[@eddy45686]

Funny you should say that , viewed one Saturday and when it came to stop at traffic light every time it felt like someone was bumping us from back like in bumpy cars 😂 Guy said it was normal for these cars but I suspected it was transmission confusing 1st gear/2nd and on its way out. He said advise. Not to change fluid as it can make it worse. I’m guessing it’s probably the filter or mechatronic sleeve it lucky but may need new auto box?

[@josephquamina1535]

With the chip problems we're facing & less technical issues I'll definitely agree with the x5 53 as long you take care of the engine you good to go. My wife got the 2021 but I went bought me a 2005 one

[@GC-hm3yu]

I do not believe you, If you have the money to buy a new recent one, why buy this one? I mean sure its a nice car but its old, the new one has a different degree of luxury and deign and tech....Did you buy it as a nostalgia piece to drive sometimes or what? The only reason I would buy this is for the handling and drive feel witch the new one does not have because of the electronic steering and floaty suspension

I absolutely love it, its simply a stunning motor. Best model X5 without a doubt. Oh, and I've just changed the rear lights, and I'm upgrading the gear shift lever to the latest version, Not forgetting my 4 new tyres, front and rear diffs serviced, atf and filter changed, and the instrument cluster sent away for repair.

The body is flawless , no dents , no rust . This damn car is some kind of magical thing 😂 it runs better than some new cars I've been in and it's just so solid . Seriously if you are considering getting bogged down in monthly payments for a new car , save the money take your down payment and outright buy an e53 ! Wait til you drive it in the snow ! Damn thing is a tank , I have purposely tried to get stuck and I can't , even with half worn all season tires.

If you want to enjoy your BMW, get a good mechanic your BMW will last forever without any problem. Most of the time all these continental car are cause by mechanic who don't know their shit and will give lots of excuses and bad name to the car. I own a JAPANESE car too that I when to the wrong mechanic, the mechanic can't solve the problem too. Wanted to change this beast to the GLC250 or XC60, this 2 car drives like a Japanese car I've to say and the E53 driving experience are still the best. End up I kept this beast and change my Japanese car.

totally agree best looking x5 by a mile, in fact best car i have ever had, nothing else comes close, much nicer looking than e70, and drives better too, the e70, it should be better than e53 but, it isnt. the diesel is without doubt the model to go for.

I still have my 2004 e53 4.4l @130k miles. The car seems fine EXCEPT during warm up on cold mornings. These past few years I just 'hope' to take care of the CEL to pass inspection. I normally start shopping for a replacement car, just in case. But then I actually fix the issue by changing spark plugs one year, a vacuum hose another year, knock sensors this year... simple emissions related fixes in general. I'm unlucky in completely fixing valve cover oil leaks but oil leak in general is greatly reduced now, especially after fixing that oil cooler o-ring issue.

In Ontario Canada, there's literally like no such thing as a 4.6 or 4.8 you can only find the 4.4 mostly and very few 3.0s.

I have a 2003 4.6is in Saskatchewan Canada. Was thinking about selling. Going to hold on it for a while.

[@Ronburgundy796]

When you picked it up dean I’ll bet you was laughing like a drain all the way home😂 🛠🇬🇧🛠

I’ve an exact model from year 2005 since 2007. I’m the second owner after rally driver Richard Burns who had bought it for his hse in Spain hence it is a left hand drive. Also the reason I had to buy it as BMW export sales had refused to sell me one to take to Djibouti because they have no agents there. At the time my wife had a 2005 petrol version which was fantastic but for my project in Africa, the diesel was perfect with its massive torque , addictive mid-range acceleration and fuel economy not to mention diesel is 40% cheaper in Djibouti. Maintaining it over in Djibouti has been seriously challenging and even had to ship it to Dubai a few years ago for some proper servicing. With only 40k miles on the clock today and huge amount of money spent fixing many issues, the car drives like no other SUV I own which are newer. All the newer X5 models don’t give me the same sensation the e53 gives me. A truly drivers car. Love it to bits and one I will keep forever.

@@BMWDoctor ah I see .. well if you look on ebay now, a 2006 3.0d e53 that's done 170k is going for an average £3000. I wish I had found one for that price. Thanks for replying !
