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

What injector problems have you encountered? I haven't had any with 53k miles on my '11 N55.

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.

Yea I'm at 52kon my 11 and no injector issues yet. But I've heard it's common for coil packs and injectors.
