Any common problems with the X5M?
 

I'm thinking to purchase a X5M for my son… what are some of the worst problems that you guys have experienced

For your son? There's about 550 problems :)

Lol don't you mean 555 problems. Naw… he's worked hard he deserves it… so any problems?

Wow !!! let me talk to your son , I want to know what he did to deserve this kind of car!!! My dad never payed and never agreed to my decision to get 4.8is ., lol


No problems!!! Very good car and BMW will take good care of your son and his car and you!

Good luck

A bit surprised that the OP is jumping another one, with his complaints on current E70...helluva car for a kid: safe, tank-like, but that HP is just bubbling there, like the debbil's stew, asking to be tasted.
GL, mD

Thanx… I will order one today

Have you checked this board??? While few and far between relative to the number produced, there are a few who have had to return the vehicles with BMW's help due to engine malfunctions, stone chip issues (make sure the X's is 3M'd), and then just the usual E70 anomolies...

Don't get me wrong, I loved my E70, but seeing as you've had your issues with one, I'm surpirsed you're asking this question!

Plastic shrouding on the back of the engine bay has melted once, smells likes its melting already again. Rear diff carrier bolts backed off and my diff dropped and was left only attached to the two axles and drive shaft. This caused damage to both axles, and destroyed my exhaust which was replaced under warranty. Eats gas likes a pig, makes me smile everyday, faster than your average bear and the utility is off the charts!! lol well not totally but its a great work vehicle for me
