Are 2013 X6M reliable?

Hi guys,

Hope you can help. I currently drive 2015 F36. Great car but due to family needs thinking of going for a used X6M. Want the SUV but would like to also upgrade to M. I came across a 2013 X6M with almost 70,000km on it. Should I even consider with that much mileage?

Thanks.

I miss my '13 X6M every day. What a beast. It was pretty much trouble free but at lease end I had less than 36,000 miles so I can't talk long term, sorry. Good luck.

70000 KM?!?!?!

Do people not have any trust in new BMW's or just consider vehicles throw aways after 50k miles?

Shit man I just built an 1998 E36 M3 with 130k on the clock and expect AT LEAST another 200k out of it ... for real what is happening with cars today man they have $100k sticker price and 5 year life expectancy?

I don't think it's more so life expectancy. I think it's more so trying to maintain that life expectancy lol.

92k miles on mine and still pulls strong ...

Truck has never left me stranded but it is expensive to maintain outside of the warranty.

I think they are a reliable vehicle but require a lot of maintenance and that maintenance isn't cheap.

I feel the exact same way! I also have a '98 M3 and plan on going at least another 200k with it.

I own one now. Once you get thru all the recalls and change all the wear and items you'll be fine.

She's a classic. In due time. You'll get all the praise for keeping her pristine.

TRUST ME I just feel it.

Just a heads up, she's a bit thirsty.

A quarter tank will get roughly 50 miles city.
20 plus the 2.5 reserve (I believe).

You taking care of my beast? How many miles? The needle on the gas gauge moves as fast as the speedometer. But its worth it.

Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't. I, for one, would never own one without warranty.
