I am currently looking into purchasing a 2011 x5 M
.. I’ve owned a few bmw v8s. Nothing of this caliber though. The x5 M I’m looking at currently has 127k miles. Which is a lot on these engines I assume. .
The one I’m looking at has a check engine light, which I haven’t scanned with ista yet. But. Will be doing that tomorrow. (The car seems like it’s in limp mode, and misfiring at idle) I assume it’s probably leaky injector.
But I was looking to get some information of how these engines hold up overall. Do they ever need bottom ends , like the e39 m5, and some other v8 bmw sports cars.
How are the transmissions on these? I know the 8 speeds are good. But I’m not so sure about these.
Any input would be greatly appreciated. !
