I have to agree with Dabs, I have driven one a 4.4 I think, and been a long distance passenger.

Im not a fan at all, 5 series all the way..

Sorry Chris.

Had a 530D and loved it until the turbo blew, boot wiring shorted and the iDrive packed up.

Must agree that it was a lovely car to drive; it ate the miles and always left you feeling fresh at the end of a long journey.

But it was starting to unravel so it was assigned to great PX in the sky (for a CRV no less!) Good little car only fault with it? It's not a BMW.

Anyway I've palmed the CRV off onto my wife now and I get her X5 3.0D Sport!

Another excellent car and it's like driving a monster truck after the 5 series!

Had a 3.0 petrol X5 for a few weeks, amazing car to drive, unfortunately had quite a few problems which took the shine off it and the the boss wanted it gone, would deff buy another one, rear bushes can be expensive to replace and can need replacing around the 80k mark i believe

      Bmw x1 2012 won't start

      Morning Marvin You need a Diagnostic Scan with a BMW capable system , I assume that when the Footwell control module and and Battery were replaced they were correctly registered to your chassis ? Has your Mechanic checked the starter solenoid ? much cheaper than a starter Hope this helps Dave

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      As an "Old Bloke" (big 80 has been and gone) I just dont see cutting corners as saving money ?? over a very long driving life I have owned many many cars I have always maintained my own cars (mix of maintaining Dealer Warranty and self). At one point when in business my cars were changed on a mileage basis but after retirement did I want to spend £50k+ on a new car, NO! so My BMW X5 4.6is and may wifes Subaru Outback 3.0 (2003 and 2004) were the last. The X5 and the Subaru are still going strong both around 160k and maintained by me in my Home Garage everything on both cars works as it should (as an aside both cars have had engine upgrades and give 400+whp) both cars are and have been 100% reliable. As the 4.6is is quite rare in the UK 3 years ago I brought a cheap 3.0d X5 and after fixing the bodges I have a reliable and economical X5 to tow with and stop the mileage building on the 4.6 Wrong coolant can do as much damage as no coolant as can a stuck or no thermostat (longer warm up times using more fuel) I agree with using recycled parts to save money just never Tyres Brakes or Suspension parts they are all that is between you and a ditch Dave
