I’d recommend updated ignition coils around 60k and plugs... I did break a rear axle, but that’s not common. |

I have a 2013 X5 M which is just about to turn 80K miles. I'm the 2nd owner. Purchased it with 27K miles in April 2015. It is at the dealer now for the passenger side airbag recall. No major issues yet...

When I was in the service last week for driver's side air bag recall I was told (and I checked myself online) that there is no passenger air bag recall for 2013 X5M? maybe its related to the VIN number

Fluid breaks down with heat and such, trans and gears are no different than engine oil and do have life cycles! |

Beware of the 2010 driveshaft replacement under recall date. Plenty of 2010 X5Ms not covered in the first six months of builds. It was the first thing that broke on me.
Next up vacuum and coolant lines. Then firewall plastics right above the motor began melting. Then comfort access handles started dragging down the battery and blew a fuse causing the audio system to cease functioning until resolved. Then passenger door inner handle plastic turned to goo. All of these things are common to the platform. The only time you realize this is when you begin digging for symptoms and see that 10-15 people had the issue and posted about their fixes. |

In the Carfax detailed history: 1/9/18 - BMW of North America, LLC. Manufacturer Safety Recall Issued NHTSA #18V-030. Recall # 18V-030-275. PASSENGER'S FRONT AIR BAG Status: Remedy Available. I emailed my service advisor on 3/2/18 asking if there were any open recalls and he replied yes, passenger side airbag. Then scheduled an appointment to have it replaced. Was told they have to remove the dash to replace the passenger side airbag. |

There are no open recalls for your vehicle. Last time I checked was about a month ago and it was showing only driver's side air bag which I took care off. So I'm not completely sure, btw the manufacturing date of my '13 is actually April 2012 (I can't recall exact date)

No, it was just impressive. Plus the list of things done over that course of miles. Honestly, impressive, and stupidly clean from the outside. Heck the LED conversion the car has is 1/4 the asking price lol.

I believe certain is a key word here even tho its kinda strange! 2013 X5 M - check My car was only registers in following states as far as I know: New York New Hampshire - by me Massachusetts - by me I'm not sure what "Zone A" means but I assume I'm not in it! So I guess there is no active recall for my car!

My X5 M was first registered in California before I purchased it. Hence why it was included in the recall. The language interesting to me is the "ever registered in the states of..." Why are those states the only states where the airbags are being replaced? What does where the car was registered have to do with an airbag potentially not functioning correctly? |
