Who has the highest mileage x5m here?
I am in the market for an x5m after my M3 has been totaled. Looking for something unique and fun - always love the e70 body style!
My budget is under $40,000, so I am looking at a 50-70,000 mile X5M which is slightly concerning to me because I don't know what all can go wrong with these vehicles. My question now is, how many miles do you have on your X5M? How many issues have you had with it so far? |

I'm selling my 2010 currently. It's got 89km or 55k miles. Car is in great shape with nothing wrong with it. These are very strong mechanically. Just gotta stop on top of maintenance.

Mine is a 2010 with 64,000 miles and has never really had any major issue.
Cooling hose $280 Air shocks $790 Vacuum lines under warranty Some suspension bushing under warranty One battery replacement On second brake pads Third set of tires They drive so much better than other X5 models and are a kick to enjoy in the twists. Love mine. |

There is one on ebay with 125k. Of course who knows the history of it.
That is the highest I recall seeing for sale since I started looking. Hopefully you are looking for a different setup than I am :P Matt |

I have a '10 X5m which I bought used with 50k milles on it. After 1.5yrs I now have 68k miles on it. Here's what I've done so far:
Aftermarket warranty Covered: Tailgate Lift Motor $1050 Parking Distance Sensor $400 Injector and Spark Plugs $4500 O2 Sensor $480 Front Bushings $400 Out of Pocket: PVC Ventilation Hose $2000 AC Fluid $200 Truck is awesome but not without the BMW issues, so get a warranty. |

I understand the BMW issues fully! May I ask, how much did you pay for your warranty? |

My aftermarket warranty cost me $3000 for 3 years / 36k miles. I have had no issues with them and have been very pleased with their coverage. Everything was covered except for the crankcase vent valve pipes because the policy states it any parts considered emissions related are excluded. |

Good point but BMW did not covered it after numerous inquiries and they have no say in the aftermarket warranty company's decision. Coincidentally there is a service bulletin on the pipes for the s63 engines that recently came out so I am hoping to recoup the money.

I have just under 80K on mine. I wouldn't touch one without a warranty! I have over 45K in repairs (warranty), a huge chunk of that came from replacing the engine however. I still love the thing, but there's no way I'll keep this past the extended warranty when I reach 100K.

Biggest issue with this truck is BMW dealers bending everyone over and raping them hard when they bring it in for any kind of issue ... This alone is the only major problem with this truck.
Honestly think unless you DIY or have deep pockets to pay BMW stay away from the X'M series ... I'm sure this holds true for any M though |

Bought my first M in June.
The other car in the garage is an Alpina B3 . I got what I think is a steal of a deal. Had it inspected at the local BMW dealership without any major concerns or imminent repairs due. It is a 2010 with just over 90K miles. I'll be surprised if I put 3,500 miles per year on it, I don't drive much, but it has been a blast to drive around so far. |
