Got my 3rd rear tire replaced in 2 years under BMW Tire Warranty

Turbo diesels have been around forever---but not on an X5. Only time will tell if THIS engine, with turbo and with this diesel will be reliable. There is simply no data yet because it is too new.

Depending on the tread left you are basically paying for the wheels for the most part. Though I have 20K miles on my 20" Dunlops with about 4-5K miles left on them.
