Is it true that X5 3.0 have more problems than the rest?

Then he must see plenty of E39 530's and E46 330's as well since they use the same 3.0 engine. As I said, I haven't heard of any problem with the engine. KewlX5 has 125,000 miles on his and I have almost 50,000 on mine. Sorry to say but sometimes even BMW employees aren't very aware of their own products.

If you have a 3.0, I wouldn't worry. Check your oil regularly and keep it topped up as you would with any vehicle.
