If you're actually serious about buying something, this is a great place to start.

People are usually happy to help, but asking arbitrary questions over and over about different cars gets old.

There always some problem, make sure to check the service history, how many miles on this beast?

FWIW I had several problems with mine. Always in the shop. Everybody has a different experience. This one for me almost ended my love for BMW. It was a nightmare from new.

This is my cousin's X5, I would like to buy him and get my futur X6 later, but for now I will buy his 07 X5. The beast have about 92 000 miles, but in good condition.

Check the suspension airbags for leaking if it has one, the vacuum pump for leaks, mechatronic sleeves any leaks , inner tail lights for dead LEDs stripes famous for leaky gaskets, working GPS DVD players, timing chain cover gaskets, and the infamous coolant valley leaks.....all the bad gaskets for leaky problems. These are all the problem I have to fixed in 10 months I own thus beast.

If you don't mind telling us how much he wants for his x5?

Good luck

Ya, I cancelled the M3, first, I want a sport SUV. So I check somes X6 or maybe used X6M. (cauz I need SUV) so why not Sport SUV

Another priority comes, so for now, I will take the 07 X5 for cheap price ($12 000) with 92 000 miles.

Good buy for 12k, is it the sports package with big wheels? Post pics when you have it

Thanks

Wouldn't touch a seven year old X5 with a pole mate.
