    Awesome video, man. I’m glad you really drove home he point of being flexible with a used car purchase, it is important for managing expectations. Something else to mention if you really find what you like to be prepared to drive to it. My wife and I have a 2015 xDrive35d. My reqs were basically diesel, lighting package, and maybe active cruise control. We found one about 100 miles away and were willing to make the drive to nab it. We were flexible on color, but it just so happened to also have the only reqs my wife preferred, white exterior and terra (brown) interior.
    We leaned in to the the more truck-like features of the xLine trim with the running boards and plastic trim and got OEM splash guards and an always-showing Draw-Tite aftermarket trailer hitch. It’s a good look on this vehicle.

    Great video. As always, very informative. I own a 2014 X5 50i (almost a carbon copy of the one in this video) and love it. Have almost 100k miles with only an injector and coil issue at 60k (covered by warranty). Other than that, hassle free. I purchased the extended warranty when I purchased as a CPO so I have all the preventive maintenance done which I believe is key to longevity. You're right about the a la cart options. I searched for mine for 6 months and bought it on the first visit so I wouldn't lose it. One question, am I the only one who uses Connected Drive? I love the real time traffic feed and the turn by turn directions in my heads up display!

However, it stopped working when my subscription ran out and when I renewed it it never came back online. I was eventually going to upgrade the iDrive system but decided to go for the X5M instead. Haha. There are some useful features in the ConnectedDrive.

    Great video, thank you. I have a 2014, F15 xdrive 35i petrol, great engine, uses more fuel than I'd like, but understand it's a heavy SAV. Just done 70,000kms , it's the 7 seater model and I've had to change both sides (rear only) of the air suspension system at $1000 nzd per side. They kept going down randomly ( air leak in airbag ) and if you drove on them and destroyed the airbags, plus system, it would of been $3000 nzd per side i was told. So just be aware when buying the 7 seater model and check this.

      Here to chime in,
      U can purchase those yourself and have a shop change the bags for less than 100 dollars.
      It is a easy to change
      That is one thing the dealer is a villain for. Charging super big money for something that is basically plug and unplug.
      I paid $800 for the dealer to change them on my x6
      My friend baught his for $100 for his x5 and he watched a small shop changed and charge him $100. Dollars .
      It was pull out, push on 🤦🏾‍♂️.
      Certain things u can do and save money without necessarily having the dealer do it.
      Like brakes and rotors 🤦🏾‍♂️,
      Do not let the dealer screw u.
      Get slotted an drilled for 300 and a sharp will put them in. For 200.
      Deals want $1400 smh

Options I love are: duel rare screens, heated steering wheel, reverse camera and coding software. Like all car companies, the options come in packages, so youre basically paying for some unwanted options. Love the car.

      @MLeung-vl7we 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@aerotus888 Just one more thing that will eventually fail (already did). The air bags arent the biggest concern, its the air compressure I worry about. I think their useful purpose was the ability to raise/lower the trunk for easy loading, but if you dont have that function (i dont), and use them for suspension instead of springs, is like re-inventing the a mouse trap. Auto leveling on rear weight capacity or towing for better handling is nice, but to me, the cost does not justify the function. Dont know if the car lower in sport vs. comfort mode like the newer versions.

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      No they don’t lower or raise like the G05 since it’s only rear axle.

But also not, because the M-sport looks so mean. specially in all black.

    I purchased a Certified pre-owned 2017 bmw x5 sdrive35i that had 27,000 miles on 1/27/2020. I purchased a warranty for 2 years that covers everything. I love how the vehicle drives. I am worried about the maintenance after the warranty expires. I have mainly owned Lexus vehicles over the last several years. The maintenance of the Lexus vehicle will less expensive. As I am getting older (54), I don't need a sports oriented vehicle. I would feel more comfortable in a Lexus. I will be going back to the Lexus vehicles. I will be researching the 2019/2020 Lexus RX 350 F Sport/AWD models. My X5 sDrive 35i has most of the upgraded packages that you mentioned, except for the upgraded video. I should get a premium when trading the vehicle in. Maybe, I should keep this X5? Very thorough video!

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I can understand where you’re coming from John. I’d be lying to you if I said you’re going to have trouble free maintenance with the BMW. While Lexus are using their older technology for their motors. The 3.5 V6 has been proven to be reliable. I was in a similar situation years ago. I had a 2010 MB C63. Going through a divorce, I didn’t want to keep that car beyond the warranty period. I was worried with the divorce and other stuff the and last thing I needed was to have a mechanical issue. I traded it in for a Lexus ISF and was still able to have my fun without worry of something going wrong. Car didn’t have a single issue. Once I got back on my feet, I carefully jumped back into German cars.
      I know it’s probably more than you wanted to hear, but what I’m trying to say is I get it. I know the feeling of getting into your car without ever having to think of what maintenance issue would arise other than oil changes. I believe the 3.5 motors most expensive maintenance is the spark plugs which are due around 60k, other than that. It’s mostly oil changes every 10k miles. I believe the later years, Lexus tuned the RX to accept 87 octane fuel while the competition is requiring 91.
      I could honestly say you would have no worries with that vehicle. Even my fiancé had an IS350 and it was nothing but oil changes.

      @@eddiemcars Thank you for your comments. I have owned 3 Lexus ES vehicles, a GS and a RX. The only issue that I had was the door locks on one of the ES models. The maintenance is less expensive. I can afford the BMW maintenance. I am getting older and I really don’t need the X5. I believe the RX 350 F sport will be good for me. I know it would be boring. When I go and trade in the BMW for the RX, I am not going to “give the vehicle away”. If I don’t get a good trade in value, I will keep the X5. Either way, I will continue to watch your excellent videos.

    Sorry if I missed it but what year is yours? And did they not do an LCI type of thing for this model? I want 2017 due to carplay but if that's the only big difference I'd just retrofit haha. Also there are different gauge clusters, one with a full digital display but I can't seem to find which "option" that is. Awesome video man! Thank you for doing this

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      My 50i was a 2014. You’re correct, there isn’t a “LCI” but BMW did upgrade the iDrive in 2017. You get wireless charging and WiFi hotspot as well. Just something to be aware of. I received an email from ConnectedDrive which is their online service. It will no longer support the older iDrive systems beginning 2022.
      I’m not sure which ones have the digital displays. I also see them on the 2018 xDrive50i.

      I would have it inspected. Look at the history as far as service goes. 85k isn’t that high for a 2014 but if it wasn’t taken care of or someone else had problems with it dumped it, then you could be in a world of trouble. $6,000 is also a lot to pay for a just in case.

    • @eddiemcars
      @eddiemcars  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Issues with the F85 seems to be mostly rear airbags, spark plugs/coils, squeaking brakes (no fix for that).
      Then aside from that you have your normal X5 stuff to watch out for. Sunroof drains, tailgate rattle, excessive oil consumption (they all consume oil but there’s a tiny percentage out there that burns more than normal)
      I’d look into the history. A scheduled maintenance is fine or maybe one or two unscheduled visits is acceptable. You want to avoid the one that keeps going back to the dealer every couple of months.
