New Purchase
Hello All,
New to the X5 world and my girlfriend is looking to purchase one. We have found a number of used options in the area and will be looking to add an extended warranty. Going to test drive a 2011 sport today with about 60k. Probably looking at mostly N55 models. Typical roadbumps? HPFP and others?

When I got my "11" n55 CPO it had 20k on it, I've put around 40k on it and issues I ran into:
Vanos recall - covered Injector problems - covered Suspension bushing - not covered Read the fine print for aftermarket coverage. Honestly I'm glad I went with a CPO from BMW. With the injector problem I was able to get 4grand back from "breach of warranty" lemon law because they had my x5 over a certain amount of days for the same issue. Since then all has been good with the truck (knock on wood) Good luck Extra: don't trust "carfax" look over things with care, look at service history and mileage see if things add up. Take the vin # and Google search it. Make sure Vano bolt recall was done with service record to prove it

Damn, I just threw out the paper work last week too. I think the seals on the injectors were bad so I was getting a lot of misfiring type of shakes.

Gotcha. Hopefully, not a widespread issue.
