Thoughts and Opinions on 2014 E71 X6 XD35I
All, Looking for some thoughts and opinions.
Recently purchased a used E71, I brought it to the dealer to have the mechanic look over and see if there are any issues. Estimate came back with the following that needs to be done 1. Oil Filer Housing Gasket: (I do see dirt and grime around that area) 2. Upper Radiator Hose Replacement 3. Drive Belt: Serpentine belt - Not making any squealing noises. Getting this repaired first (However I've had past experiences with a 2006 Subaru Tribeca with 180K driving down a free way and the belt came off, luckily i was in the right lane and was able to pull into a gas station.) Has anyone had similar or like issues with their pre-owned purchase? Secondly I am looking for a DIY on how to change the OEM Brake Lines to Stainless steel lines. I assume the process is the same as a 3 series which i have done before however the first time around i broke one of the Hard lines wanted to avoid that with the X6.

Here is what I would do... based on what you have said...
Doesn’t sound like much of a OFHG leak.... detailed clean everything and monitor. If you don’t have a good Indy, find one...for work you don’t want to do. If fluids haven’t been changed, I’d put my efforts there... coolant last in this case... until you have a better appreciation unless the upper hose is actually leaking. And catch up on other PM as need be. As for brake lines... I wouldn’t personally bother, until say a flex line starts to crack etc...But that’s me.. Enjoy your vehicle...

Thanks for your input. much appreciated. I've cleaned the OFH already just been monitoring it. Wanted to see if this was a common issue for most E71 owners. My first x6 and it's used so i wanted to make sure everything checks out. worst feeling is buying a used car and being stuck with crazy repairs.
