Sorry, I haven't hit 100K miles yet.. Just now hitting 75K miles in my 2012 X5 XDrive 50i, however, I've been looking for a place with information on high mileage X5 50is, so thanks for this thread!
I purchased the truck last summer at 68K miles and my mechanic acted like I was crazy for purchasing a 50i at such high mileage... At any rate, I did have some issues about two weeks after I purchased-- Noticed some minor oil leaks. When my mechanic took her apart to investigate, he performed some other needed repairs as well. Here's what I've got so far: - Upper and Lower oil pan gasket replaced - Replaced 2 engine mounts - Replaced 3 coolant lines - Replaced oil pressure sensor (apparently causing some of the leakage I was seeing) I LOVE this truck and hope to drive it until the wheels fall off. So any tips or advice for high mileage X5 50is is much appreciated! |

Do you have a warranty? If not I'd heavily consider one since you plan to drive it for the long run. |

Exactly! No one here wants to buy a set of tires for a Bugatti Veyron! And that's zero mechanical issues!

2012 BMW X5 50i, 115k, love it but its been a pain to own:
both rear air struts both front strut housings and struts auxillary fan (intermittent overheating message, even after the waterpump replacement) water pump all coils and plugs quart of oil every 700 to 800 miles replaced heater hose due to a bad repair, didnt clip the host back so the steering knuckle wore through it, was scared that it was a turbo coolant line. HID bulbs and halo about to go (intermittent on halo, bulbs are discoloring) need to replace the bulkhead covers and gasket need to replace lower and upper oil pan gaskets Have a thread opened on how the car is shifting a little hard and idle is not smooth, dont know if it is missing, vacuum leak, no CEL. Love the car the way it looks (msport), but would not have bought if i would have had this much trouble with the car at around 100k miles and beyond. |

the reason I'm asking as I had similar issue when I replaced my CIC screen and had to unplug cables behind the multimedia unit, apparently I didn't plugin something completely in so after I put everything together my steering wheel stopped adjusting. After I revisited and checked the connections (unplug, plug back in) the issue went away. hope this helps

Mine threw a code one time and the auto memory stopped working for a while. When BMW cleared the code it kept working, so

Great thread, thanks for all the information. I wanted to know if there was any more information surrounding 2012 X5M reliability. I’ve always loved the X5 and am finally in a position to shop for one...albeit used. Looking ate one with 50k so don’t think I’ll have an option to buy a warranty. Any significant known issues that I should be aware of?

I just hit 1902XX, and honesty, my 07 x5 3.0 has been easier to maintain than any other BMW I've owned (04 545I and 06 325I). Maintenance I've had done includes:
Water pump replaced at 70,877 miles Rear brake, pads, sensor, and fluids changed at 77,540 Left tail light at 93k due to some condensation inside the housing Front and rear rotors/pads changed at 150,853 Battery/Coolant reservoir changed along with flush at 153,119 due to crack in reservoir Oil filter adapter seal/gasket replaced, valve cover and valve cover gaskets replaced at 168,971 Air bag recall done at 181,000 Fuel system and cooling system cleaned/serviced at 184,528 I just changed the starter myself a couple miles ago, along with the front brake pads and sensors. I'm also going to to the ignition coil pack and spark plugs soon, along with a new battery. I forgot to mention the oil/filter changes but I did them every 5-7k miles. I can post a pic of my odometer if you guys don't believe me lol but everything else works just fine, and the interior looks great as well, including the backs of the 3 rd row seating. It's probably the best vehicle I've ever earned, and if you take care of it it will take care of you |

Agreed! It’s a great tow vehicle even though it’s not commonly used as a tow rig.
