270k on the clock. 8.7l per 100 km. I thought my mechanic was just avoiding having to do a wheel bearing cos it's a major pain but he was 100% right .
I purchased my X5 new. Over the years I have tried several different brand tires. It came with Michelins tires. They were very loud and rough riding. Have run a couple of sets of Hankook tires. I chose soft compounds. Quiet ride but wear was poor because of soft compound. I expect you will continue to be very happy with your purchase.
