Hello to everyone on the forum. Im matt and im new to BMWs. Im looking to buy a used X5 but can only afford to buy one with 80-100,000+ miles. ive read the other posts on x5 buying dos and donts and the only thing i can find that helps me so far is the posts about keeping an eye out for under car bushes and servicing a high milage X5 regularly. Like i said im new to BMWs (never owned one before)and i find it hard to belive they will be the only problems. Dont get me wrong im not trying to be a pain in the !Removed! but like i said earlier im totally new to BMWs and no nothing about them so id just like to no EVERYTHING that could possibly go wrong with a 80-100,000k+ X5 as ive not got the money to buy a new car if the X5 decides its had enough of living lol. Thank you all for your time and i hope to have my mind put at rest soon ha ha cheers Matt

Hi mate and welcome to the forum mine is a petrol and if you have read other posts that is the only major issue I have had the under side the only other thing I had done was had the gear box software reloaded as I had glitch but it now drives perfect and has done 86,000 with full history

Its not as bad as i had pictured then. I no BMW"s are reliable cars and most run forever but i thought itd be best if i joined a forum and asked the people who no what there talking about lol. Me being the same as most people, would be a little bit skepticle of buying a higher milage motor. I suppose apart from the under car bushes the X5 is the same as any other high milage car... check that it has a full service history and that everything is up to date and service it regularlly???
