BMW X5 Test Fit

XBimmerman · 04-25-2011, 11:58 AM

I saw this on a local forum I am apart of recently. Mishimoto is looking for a 2001-2006 BMW X5 (V6) to test fit a radiator for! I would do it myself, however, I have the 4.4 V8

Anyone on here with that motor going to contact them? Here is the link to the thread I found this on.

Anyone?

They're going to be searching for a long time trying to find a V6 model...

I am guessing either not many are still around, or they were produced in smaller quantities?

I'm shocked that they are not asking for the 4.4L V8. I guess whoever went with the smaller motor is going to make out on this one. haha

X5 V6?... um, what?

You are correct, super rare, BMW made exactly zero X5's with a V6, they did make quite a few with the I6 though. My guess is that no one in their right mind would loan a tuning company their 50k car if they don't even know what engine the car has!

Wow, really? LOL, on a technical issue like that?

Sorry, but that seems ridiculous. Maybe they are not well versed in the BMW world and they are trying. Not sure what else to say.

actually, I checked the link you provided and they are not asking for 2001-2006 V6, what it says is 2001-2006 X5 (I6). Perhaps just a typo in your original post?

Possibly. I am still confused on how this misunderstanding or miscommunication is the reason why BMW owners wouldnt go to them. It's a free rad! From my experience with my 97 E36 M3, the BMW cooling system lacks. The endtanks blew out at 97K, went Mishimoto and have never had a problem. Had it installed for the past 3 years or so now.

I am at 57K with my X5 right now, so I can only be hopeful that this OEM system will last longer.

XBimmerman · 05-06-2011, 10:51 AM

Damn. Do we even have any I6 members on here?

XBimmerman · 05-16-2011, 03:59 PM

Guess not. Oh well.
