I need a little help out here. I have been looking for a used X5 (Not the V8 variant), but I was told that most, if not all, of the X5's were nothing but big-time headaches. Is this correct, or what years (s) would be the "lemons"?

Thank you all very much in advance.

P.S. Looking for an X5 no later than 2014.

I would ask this question in the X5 forum.

There was an x5M competition that past me the other day that had much of the same trim as my M8 competition.....

I have a 2004 3.0i since new and still have it today. It's the longest of all the cars that I have ever owned. So that should say something about its worthiness?

We had an E70 until recent in the family since new. 3rd party extended warranties took care of most service costs, however around 80k miles the car just started becoming a headache. It was always serviced at a BMW dealer, one owner car, etc. Didn't matter.

I do still see E70s driving around though, so it seems if your example is lucky and you know a good mechanic with fair pricing then it's doable.

Have a 2013 X35i Sport trim, ordered new (wife's car). Now has 160k miles and solid as a rock. She still says there is no other car she would rather have (perfect!). Has been garaged and dealer maintained "by the book" since new.

There have been repairs as one would expect along the way but nothing major/catastrophic. It is a very capable machine. Comfortable, handles well (2013 was last year for hydraulic steering), and is an Interstate Ballistic Missile.

Nothing but high praise for this car.

I ask because I found a 2011 X5 with 51K in miles. The only thing that troubles me is that it has already had two owners at that milage seems to me to be a red flag. I purchased my current Z4 as a third owner and will never make that mistake again.
