Item Interest

Up for sale is my 2010 BMW X5M. The car has been very well taken care of since it was new, as I checked into the history of the car very thoroughly prior to purchasing. It has been under a full bumper to bumper warranty since it was brand new. The car went from new to CPO to a Route66 Easy Street full coverage warranty, which lasts until July 2020 or 100,000 miles. The warranty is transferrable for a $50 fee, with no deductible. I am starting with this information so you have a sense of how well cared for this vehicle has been.

I have an offer of $19k + tax credits (which equals $20,750) right now from a local dealer. I am looking to give someone a fair deal, but won’t give the car away.

Asking $20,000





Basics: Car is actually loaded, I can’t think of one option it doesn’t have for the year. (Let me know though)

CPO Warranty Expiration: 11/10/2015
Route66 Warranty Coverage: 7/10/2015-7/9/2020 – or 100k Miles
Notice: The car will need a brake job soon, but will include new pads and brake fluid, you need to get rotors and sensors. I’ve been told there’s about 3-4k miles left, and since I only drive ~6k miles a year, it wasn’t a big deal.

Exterior:
The exterior shows very well for a 2010 car with 81k miles. There isn’t a dent, scratch, scrape, etc. around the entire vehicle, except for the front bumper. When I bought the car, there were several small door dings, which I had professionally PDR’ed. Since then I park FAR in parking lots and have a indoor garage at home and work. I had the wheels powdercoated when I bought the car in 2016, but the Chicago potholes have had other ideas since and they do show some rubs here and there, but are still very presentable. The front bumper could use some attention. I would recommend a sanding, respray and adding the plate bracket to cover a slight deformity. Someone backed into me over the winter and I just haven’t the time to get it repaired. I also wanted the car to show honestly since I knew I was going to sell it soon.

Interior:
Probably one of the most comfortable BMW interiors ever produced to be honest. The seats, door cards, dash, arm rests are in excellent shape. Not even the driver seat shows signs of wear, and since this is the perforated, upgraded leather, it doesn’t show stretch marks like the base X5M seats. These seats also have the adjustable head rests, cooled The carpets are all clean, no spills, stains, burn marks (non smoker car). The cargo area does show some marks on the plastic tailgate area, but the carpets, side panels, and cargo cover are all blemish free. All functions work as they should and I’ve removed the phone mount in the arm rest so there is extra space. The only thing that could use addressing are some scratches on the Piano Black trim on the center console, but honestly they are faint and you don’t notice them when sitting in the car. They were difficult to capture in photos.

My story: I’ve had this X5M since July of 2016 and it’s been the car I’ve kept longest in the last 10-12 years. It’s been nothing but a pleasure to own and drive. It’s fast (real fast), when you need it to be and tame and compliant. It’s the most comfortable car I’ve ever owned. It’s probably my favorite car I’ve ever owned, but it’s time for something new and equally exciting. I want to pass this car along to someone who will be as enthusiastic as I have been with it, but still leave that person enough warranty to thoroughly enjoy it worry free.

My previous private sale transactions:
2/19 – Sold my E36 M3 Sedan to a massive enthusiast from DC. He flew to Chicago and drove it home straight through with zero issues. It’s now his daily. He has multiple E30 M3’s, Porsches, M2 Competition, Trackhawk, you get the picture. He was overly impressed with the car.
2/18 - Bought E36 M3 Sedan from an enthusiast in Wisconsin, who joined the new owner and I for pizza before he departed to DC (see above)
6/16 – Bought X5M from Utah X5M on bimmerpost and we still keep in contact, he said he should buy this thing back he misses it so much
4/16 – Sold my 2008 Mercedes E63 to a Porsche collector in Chicago to be his daily driver, again we still keep in contact
7/15 – Sold my E90 M3 to someone in California over text message.
4/14 – Sold my E92 M3 ZCP to Chuck Vossler from BMW Blog. He flew in from KC to Chicago to pick the car up and couldn’t believe the car was actually as clean as my photos and description. We still talk today.

Long story short. I’ve done this a few times recently and try to be as transparent as possible before selling to an enthusiast like myself. If you have any questions, want any additional pictures or have any hesitations, please contact me.

Excellent description of the car and a great ad. Mind sharing a close up of the rear hatch and the type it is?

[laselvasurf]

This is a great deal at $23K with the warranty! The tow hitch instal looks good, I'm going to copy that on my X5M as the previous owner did a hack job putting the hitch on.

Beautiful X5M, GLWS!

I was under impression Route66 doesn't cover M cars. Did they change that recently?

Good luck with sale! Beautiful car

I have Route 66, I got it last year around this time, but it doesn't include and hoses or gaskets... so for an X5M, it hasn't covered much. Half of my water pump so far. I think they ended any service with the x5M shortly after...

PO has this installed at his BMW dealer. I was under the impression it was an OEM solution but the tag reads Oris.

Thanks. Trying to give someone a fair deal. There is a kit somewhere with this trim that I saw recently on the internet, for the hitch.

This warranty was purchased in 2015 and is bumper to bumper. They have covered a LOT for me, but I have my SA deal directly with them. Some wear and tear items haven't been covered, but that's to be expected. They DID surprisingly cover bushings & control arms, which surprised me. You are correct that they NO longer offer coverage on M cars though.

That's disappointing to hear. It's covered probably around $8k+ in work for me since 2016. I would leverage a Service Advisor instead of dealing with them yourself, if you aren't already. They tried to force me to talk to them directly without the dealer involved and I LOLed at them.

Route 66 still covers the X5M but only the mechanics and nothing like an exclusionary plan

Thanks for the additional photos and info! As someone who spent almost a year shopping for X5Ms, this is definitely a great deal. Just to put the warranty's value into perspective, I got a quote for $3K for a 10k mile/1 year exclusionary warranty for the X5M I ended up buying(a 2013 similar to yours). The warranty is extremely valuable, and I hope any potential buyers will see that.

They don't anymore other than the policies currently in effect. They don't write new warranties on any M car. The basically don't cover any "performance" cars anymore outside of your regular mustangs and Camaros.

The warranty has saved my butt a few times. Thanks for the kind words.

[iamcpap]

Here is what the warranty stipulates. It is really inclusive and only really excludes wear and tear items.

Love all the discussion around warranty and Route66. I've have both Fidelity on my Merc E63 and Route66 on the X5M. Fidelity is easier to deal with overall, but Route66 has covered MORE than I would have expected and with ZERO deductible.

Pretty sure Oris is the OE hitch supplier to BMW.

At the very least, I know that the BMW hitch cross member for E70 X5 (71600440592, part of the kit 71602156525) is manufactured by Oris, and carries the same sort of label as the one on your vehicle.

I owned this X5M prior to Chris and took excellent care of it.. the hitch was purchased and installed at my local BMW dealer. Great seller!

Thanks Jeremy!

Also dropping the price. Will take offers. Need this gone so I can move onto my next adventure.

[quick]

The more you drop the price the more people here would want you to drop it... Heck, I just paid well over 30 for mine ('12 X5M..White/cream with 40K miles) and I am now in the process of purchasing a platinum/exclusionary warranty 5/60 for nearly $5800

Considering all that ^, this is a friggen bargain at this price.

Thanks for the kind words. I think it is a fair deal for a 9 year old car with 80k miles on it and the bumper and brakes taken into consideration. If the car was flawless with new brakes, it would be ~$25k most likely.

If the number gets too close to the trade-in offers I have, I can easily trade it in. I figured I would try to let this go to an enthusiast that could benefit from the warranty, instead of trading it in and letting it go to auction.

[iamcpap]

Bumper... offer fell through. Open to offers. Have several cars in mind so let's talk.

I just spoke to Route66 to 100% confirm the following:
- Expiration 7/9/2020 or 100k miles
- $50 transfer fee needs to be received with all information within 10 days of sale
- Zero deductible (in case I didn't mention that before)
