Hi all
Currently have a '08 535i and apart from some minor out of warranty repairs, the vehicle's been fairly reliable (2nd owner).
We are going to trade in towards a minty X5 (possibly 2011 or 2012 Diesel).
On my 535, there was a big recall on the twin turbo a while ago which was kinda pretty significant. Also, the brake sensor boards went out after 50k which costs me $300 out of pocket and apparently , it was a common issue with the housing getting burnt out over time (but BMW didn't consider it as a defect
). Lexus RX is nice but not really my cup of tea.
I've eyed 2
xDrive35d locally..both have under 25k miles so I'm presuming the maintenance warranty should come as standard till 50k?
For the diesel engines, is there anything important to look for or be aware of, especially in the 2011/12 models?
We just test drove the 'REALLY NEW' Acura MDX but Acura is overcharging customers for it, especially since the interior is laded with fake wood (plastic).
I test drove a 2013 XDrive35D and really liked it but not the price the dealer was asking for it. With the 2 I'm looking at, I'm getting better deal (I think).
Thanks in advance !
