X5M buying advice
Long time BMW owner here. In the past I've had about 6 e30's, an e39 M5, an e60 M5..etc. I'm currently looking for an e70 X5M and I'm wondering what to look for when buying. Is there a buyer's guide anywhere? What would you look for as owners?

Maintenance records - especially regular oil changes. Also, make sure the injectors have been replaced under the recall. Common failure points/regular maintenance items are the turbo vacuum lines that run across the motor, turbo oil drain lines and also the turbo coolant lines that are on top of the motor will leak over time. These are DI motors so they will suffer from carbon build up on the intake valves and this is why I put a dual catch can setup on mine. Other than that, the S63 is a pretty good motor and doesn't suffer a lot of the same issues as the N63.

My X5M had the transmission replaced at 50K, turbos just before I bought it at 64K miles. That, together with all the recalls (injectors, drive shaft, auxillary pumps etc) and other repair items (vacuum lines, suspension joints etc.), together with regular oil changes at 5K. I figured with so many items already repaired/replaced it will be awhile before I ran into the same problems. 2 years and 14K miles later, only had to replace the coolant reservoir and its been running like a Champ.

Looks like a very good deal. Grab it before someone beats you to it. |

Also the Nav system is CIC for the 13' model and not DVD based (CCC - older version) and is all updated via USB and is Hard Drive based. |

It's actually this one: https://www.mycartopia.com/used.cfm/...Y0C5XD0C11673/
Mint inside and out, PPF on the front and half hood, also on the side in front of the rear wheels. I'm going to pass on it because I'm looking for blue with silverstone interior, but damn I was tempted. I've seen 4 so far and that was the best one yet. |

Its got low mileage. Better to grab it. The ones too far away to drive and see are not worth the hassle. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=291902545 Last edited by X5 MAN; 01-18-2021 at 06:00 PM.. |
