Found a low miles 2011 X5M - any issues I should look at/ask about?

[jgrant750]

Hello!

We currently have an '08 550i (M Sport package) and my wife and I love the car. Had it for three years and haven't had a single issue with it. Been looking at the X5 SUV for some needed additional space.

LOVE the power of the X5M, but is there anything I should keep in mind when looking at this model? It's low miles, one owner and super clean, but at the end of the day it's still a used vehicle.

Thanks!

On the left, it says you already drive a 2011 X5M. So I assume you already bought it.

My bad on that.

Get a service record on the VIN, most dealers will do this for you.
Check Carfax for accidents.
Run the VIN through http://www.bmwarchiv.de/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html to find the build date and other interesting info.
If it is an 11 then it still has some warranty and maintenance on it. Have a BMW dealer or a good indy do a PPI on it to make sure it is in good shape.

Buy one that still has warranty or is a CPO model. That way, you don't have to worry about anything.
