Our X5M review: • There's only ONE REASO...
We're diving headfirst into the world of premium used cars, and today, we've got the BMW X5 in our sights. Now, let's be honest, the BMW X5 has a bit of a reputation for its reliability issues and potentially wallet-draining maintenance costs. But here's the kicker - people still swear by it! So, the big question on everyone's mind is, "Is it worth the investment?" We give it the ReDriven treatment and give you the lowdown of this cult favourite car!

At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

Personal Request to Jim what Goes wrong with The M157 AMG V8 I'm looking at a 2015 GL63 as far as air suspension(swap for coils) and bearings I can fix those
I'm Still waiting for the Porsche Cayenne review
To the owner: Take that bloody M badge off, you're impressing nobody! Sincerely: Everyone
My son (9) asked me about M badges, to which I showed him how cheap they were to buy online and were meaningless. He had no trouble understanding. Some adults don’t though, it seems.
Fun facts: the M stands for Mendacious
M badges have been installed as part of the msport (cosmetic) pack on most bmws for years now. Same as amg package which puts the amg badge on c180 mercs for ugh. An m badge on the start stop button is pushing it though haha.
@@paulthomson7246 this is true, but every stoooge and his mutt can slap one of these badges of negligible prestige on his tiny engined bucket of misfortune, for next to zero price of admission for aforementioned badge. It’s the automative equivalent of 3rd world generals giving themselves medals.
He put an M badge on the car when it has a 2.0 litre turbo diesel engine😆😅😂🤣.
Love it how manufacturers always make some of the most important parts plastic and difficult to get to and repair, almost like planned obsolescence
3d printers could help here
I’m old enough to remember when gen 1 digital dashboards were so cool. Then everyone realised that analogue stuff works better. To me the obsession with digital everything on cars is history repeating. I’m not against digital or touch screens, but some things just work when you need to access them quickly. Some things are classic for a reason.
The "what goes wrong with it" actually the longest section of the video says everything about the car.
The owner of that one needs to get in touch with Wipertech ;)
And yeah if a BMW can't even offer brilliant driving dynamics there's literally no reason to buy one and tolerate the unreliability and bills. It's a no from me.
You missed the BMW optional "blinker pack" that is so expensive, very few BMW owners seem to have it.
Haha good point!
I think they only offer it in Japan
What is that ?
understand the sarcasm @@Armored_Ariete
Also the tail gating lock on pack. takes the effort out of anchoring yourself 10cm from the car in front when doing 180kph on the outside lane.
My favorite part is when the mechanic Jim talks.
Could be a contender along with the RR sport for longest 'what goes wrong' section.
Look, no vehicle is immune to wear and tear - do the due diligence first before buying a used X5, and if you are a first time car owner with no basic knowledge about car maintenance then better buy a Mazda Toyota or Nissan...and when you own an X5, just be a responsible X5 owner that follows proper maintenance and you'll be alright! 😅With it's size & weight, the BMW X5 F15 is simply an all-round suv which is built for long drive, superb powerful engine and it's built to last. 🙌
Well said 🫡
always love the top class content, ended up buying a mazda 6 for my first car and honestly totally in love, little surprised it hasn’t had a proper review on this channel despite the (very deserved) praise you give it
A nice first car.
Did you get the wagon??😮
I love this guy's used car reviews.
I really want him to do the 2017 + BMW X3s
While I'd like an X5 I'd look at the 5 series wagon or a Mazda 6 wagon over it.
Also I found out today that you guys are the 3rd most watch car channel from Australia so I think you guys deserve massive kudos for that achievement 🥳🥳👍.
Didn't expect the German polka misoc to make an appearance again for the safety features overview lol.
It looked like Hullsy was dying a bit inside when listing off the problems that occur in the X5.
Bloody good video guys and as always have a good weekend and look forward to next week's videos as per usual 👍
Redriven is one of the best car channels. Very informative and nicely brought.
What a fantastic, comprehensive review - well done to both of you. I subscribed because of Jim's insights.
Thank you so much!
I watch you guys all the way from Zimbabwe,in Africa. Your show is very useful to us because the used car market makes up 70-80% of all vehicle traffic
This video shows why used Mazdas are great. The interior of the used CX-5 from a previous video looks much better than this X5. That said, used car interior condition depends upon the previous owner. Eyeing a used 2020 Mazda 3 soon.
That Mazda 3 is a beauty 😉
Having lived with the 2 most recent generations of Mazda3 (2014 BM and 2019 BP), there’s a lot of things they’ve managed to screw up in the new one. “Auto light malfunction” in hot weather, a jerky auto transmission that hunts for gears and is very slow to downshift when you need it, “Engine malfunction” (limp home mode) if starting the car and the battery is even a little weak and needs to be towed as a result since it can’t go above carpark speeds, and high parasitic drain that causes the previous issue, and a horrible adaptive cruise control system that brake checks the car behind you for no reason at all. You can google each of these issues and there’s other owners on forums with it too as I’ve found out :(
The other day even with a brand new battery fitted, it cranked (strongly) but simply couldn’t start until I tried it again. Now we’re having issues with the drivers power window. The Mazda dealers are useless and either jump between “could not replicate fault” or claim they applied a software update that does sweet FA.
By far the most annoying thing outside of the electrical system is the transmission. On a good day it’s smooth and responsive, on a bad day it’s jerky, annoying and slow to respond. Some people have said it’s the software programming to upshift ASAP on newer models.
What’s bizarre is I drive my 2014 with the same 2.5L drivetrain everyday and it’s a gem. Sure the road noise is annoying and it’s not as fancy inside, but it’s such a smooth and pleasant driver’s car that DRIVES the way it should and has not put a foot wrong. I love that car and it definitely serves the reliable and fun to drive reputation that Mazda historically had.
CX-5 interior is significantly smaller, more like X3. Rear seats are pathetically small, theres little leg room and the AWD overheats with any prolonged use, mostly FWD understeering car.
Great review. It tells me to stay with my current Japanese brand. 👍👍👍
Great insightful video as always! Please tell your mate to take off the M badge on the back lol.
I like your honesty about reviews that’s why I keep watching and thank you 😎
Glad you like them!
One of the biggest automotive channel? Well, if you're buying a car, new or used, seeing what it'll be like after 100,000km is the most important video out there
Definitely go for the 5 series touring. Nice segue at the end
This is precisely the sort of car that turned BMW from a sophisticated, peppy and sporty brand of the 90s to the vulgar, tacky and disposable brand it is today.
I had one for a few years.
I had the 40d with the MSport pack and it was sublime. Had a few issues towards the end where a few sensors went haywire etc, but every day it was a pleasure to drive and live with.
It’s weird how it drives so close in feeling to a sedan given how big it is.
I had a 2014 M50D X5 and while it had no major (or any by memory) dramas by the time I traded in 2019 at 110000km, the build quality between a German (better) made 5 series and the American made x5 was obvious. Creaks and rattles mainly from the boot area drove me nuts. I spent hours applying silicon spray and felt tape throughout the damn thing. Triturbo (not joking) diesel six was ridiculously quick and gave no issues, it had adaptive suspension with active roll bars which also made it handle stupidly well but it was still a tank of a thing to drive.
There’s definitely a lot of plastic in the cooling systems - the m50d has three radiators for gods sake but again I had no issues (I did service it religiously every 10k). There’s ongoing repeated recalls (technical update in bmw speak) for egr coolers on all diesel bmws which have apparently caused fires when they leak internally, mix with exhaust soot and start melting intake manifolds. I recently got a text to book my 5 series and the previous x5 discussed here for a replacement cooler.
Overall I didn’t like it and went back to a 5 series sedan but for those who like the suv thing they aren’t bad.
Fellas, would you be able to do a review of the current DJ Gen Mazda 2 pre-face lift? The early year models, are now 8 years old.
You guys are the best. That german voice was epic 😂.
Years ago I bought my wife a loaded ex-demo first series V8. Nice to drive when it worked. Accelerating onto an onramp, the water pump seized: The serpentine belt then sheared the powersteering drive shaft and other collateral drive damage. Hell of a noise! I thought I'd ventilated the block with a rod!
This was not my first, nor last, BMW but I'd now be unlikely to buy another. The sound system gave up, the expansion tank popped, the door handle came off in my hand one day when opening...... I had flashbacks of Alfas I had owned ------ but at least they had character. Still, as an SUV it remained lovely to drive.
SUV or performance wagon? That's a no-brainer for a petrol head.
I've just noticed: Your garage seems to be right where a girlfriend lived in a ground floor flat in the late 70's.... memories of parking the Charger up outside and staggering back later from the Star!
To anyone who’s actually considering this car. The pick of the bunch is the 3L diesel. And yea, the timing chain will most likely need to be changed, however, it’s not as dire as this makes out. Mine was $1200 from an Indy.
I bought a 65k km bmw x5 30d and owned it for two and half years, sold it at 115k km. No any issues except air suspension bag- it is a consumable and not that eye watering expensive. Consumption of rear tire would be a issue but it is reasonable considering it is so sporty and heavy. you don’t even need to buy run flat tires as spare tires provided
Just picked up a 2018 x30d M sport with 89xxxx about 6 months ago.
Loving it :)
Iam also considering this one. How much dis you pay for it brother ?
@@Silkixun i paid $56k
Hopefully living with one of these won't make you forget how to use turn signals😂
Hey love your videos, but is there any chance you can make a video about Midsize SUVs that can tow a camper trailer. I've been looking around and there's not any that can tow a 1500kg camper. A 4x4 seems a bit much for what I want and I don't know how often I'd go off-roading.
I'd love some advice on what to get.
Jim definitely earning his free plug and friendship on this one!
I've picked one up back in 2019, 2017 X5 35i with 30k miles on it. Currently at 60k miles and zero issues whatsoever throughout the past 5 years, only issue I've had was a misfire only on coldstarts. Narrowed it down to bad gas quality, I simply went to a different gas station and the problem went away. Looking to actually add an F85 X5m to the fleet next. I also have a N55 powered E92 335i so I'm quite familiar with the platform.
That's how my BMW 4 cyl petrol engine started its end of life cycle: misfires on coldstarts. A couple of years and good few thousand miles later, along with 4 visits at 4 different BMW service shops, I had to scrap it. It was the timing belt all-along. Change your timing belt. Thank me later.
Spot on with the comments about a 5 series touring. They just make so much more sense (and have more room, too!). Having said that, we cross-shopped an X5 against a VW Touareg and we ended up with the Touareg because it is actually a capable off-roader (even if you hardly see them used that way). We take it wading through rivers, across sand dunes, through mud bogs and rocky and rutted hill climbs quite regularly, so I feel like we can comfortably justify owning an "SUV". The X5 can't really do much of that but has the same disadvantages of being bigger and cumbersome to drive over something like a large wagon. Doesn't make much sense to me.
Yeah, but try and find one ... I'm no BMW fan, but the wagons do look great. But almost no one in Oz buys them. Which means no used ones are available either.
You didn't mention about huge problems with crankshafts in n57 3.0 diesels. There are cars with 150k km that need complete engine renovation due to that. Partikelfilter is ending at around that milage as well. Basically second hand bmw owner has to be always prepared for looong pricey bills.
My F15 needed new rear air springs at 100,000km 😢 but would still buy another.
you should mention the year and model before jumping in, unless I'm missing it somewhere.
They may be the longest what goes wrong segment 😂
> I see a new ReDriven Video.
> I like it first, then watch the video.
I own one since 2015 (done 125,000kms so far) I have to admit, this car is a pleasure to drive daily and live with.
I just find with this type of premium vehicle that they are looked after and maintaned during first lease/ownership. Then after 4 years of ownership and it is returned/sold the next slightly poorer owner that could not afford new takes the vehicle on and the maintenance is not as on par as before. Then when the 3rd owner in the cycle gets there hands on it, maintenance will be minimal, the faults will build up until the vehicles value prohibits any repair. BMW and the other premium brands are way over priced for parts that are not premium quality to start with. Parts cost should drop significantly as a model is replaced or ages, but they do not. Non OEM parts can be better than actual OEM in many cases and much cheaper, but the fault list on these vehicles can be so extensive even non OEM parts use will make repair eye watering. The labour cost on these vehicles can be very high too, I heard from an Audi A8 owner that needed his engine remived to change out a sensor/switch, the part cost £150, labour £2000 😪😥😥😢😭😭😭.
One thing with the ZF boxes if you want them to last- ignore the 'Sealed for life' BS and just change the trans fluid like ZF intended!
Sideyeing the ///M badge on the boot
Why were all the diesels in Australia 2 ltr engines. In Europe 30d, 40d and 50d were all 6 cyl inline sixes. Great engine, btw, best suited for fast highway comute.
Wife had x5 3l turbo diesel. Very comfortable, while you wait for RACQ on the side of the road.
Most expensive 5 years of car ownership ever. Final straw, quote to get out of limp mode, 6 injectors $980 each, diesel particulate filter $3800, other assorted items totaling $16000 plus labour at $150 per hour. They wanted the car for two weeks.....it went to the car crusher to cut out losses.
What model X5 and how many km on the clock?
@@mikeb9000they never respond to these questions. Makes me think they are just the competition.
Longest cameo I ever seen from Jim lol😂
I wish we had 5-series or S4 wagons in the US. I think they look cool..... but I do have an IS300 Sportcross
Would love to see a review on the Lexus RX400h.
First Viewer 😍 I just love your videos. I’m an international student here in Australia, hope I will buy one one day😂
Biggest issue with this car is the fake ///M badge…
I agree,the interior still looks great
Wow didn’t know that my 30D was only 2 litre engine but twin turbo according to you lol
I've really enjoyed watching these reviews. But can I request used car reviews for cars about 3-5 years old? At present all reviews are for cars much older but don't work well for someone like me who is looking for a reliable transport, not expensive and hoping to retain the car for 5-7 years. Reviews of more recent used cars would work really well.
Cheers for the feedback! As it turns out, the majority of reviews coming up are for new-ish cars
Please do a video on the Holden Adventra. I would love to see your take on it. Some say not appreciated enough, some say complete shit. I'm somewhere in the middle
Just buy the best cx5 or Lexus rx you can afford and it’s smooth sailing
I grew up obsessing over this era of BMWs (and older ones). Test driving a similar X5 when they were new was a massive let down. Sure I hyped them up in my head but the ride, the interior quality, and feel was no where near what I expected for its price. Felt like a heavier CX-9 and that’s it.
great video guys. Great vehicle but I would go for the Touring, well really I would go to Lexus. Sure the BMW's are great to drive, but they are hard to drive when they are in for another fix.
I wish more people were able to get their cars cleaned (preferably detailed) before handing them over for these re-driven reviews
I don't mind it, it's useful to see a used car as a lived in thing. That's how most people are going to be living with it every day - some debris, dirt, dust and random kid nose picks.
We owned a 2011 X3 with the 2.0D engine in the UK and drove it from 40K to 120K miles over 5 years. I would have loved the 6 cyl but the budget wouldn't stretch that far but aside from being lower on power, it was a really good family wagon. The engine is refined (certainly compared to a 3.0 Prado), it could sit comfortably on 80 mph all day long, the 8 speed gear box was smooth and always knew what gear to be in and the fuel consumption was excellent. Also, our young kids could see out the windows in the rear. The AWD was excellent on muddy, wet, narrow lanes.
But it certainly wasn't trouble free. Power steering & timing chain being the main things, the latter I feel was due to believing the condition based servicing intervals which you shouldn't. Hard on brakes, particularly rear brakes. Interior was hard wearing, except the silver plastic trims scratched easily. The hand brake switch cracked, which was an easy, if not cheap fix and the glove box delaminated, which was going to cost a heap to replace so I glue it back together myself. You also need to use specific tyres to avoid drivetrain issues, which of course aren't cheap. The satnav system was excellent.
Personally, I'd buy a 3 year old car with about 40-60k with a full service history and keep it to around the 120-160k mark and I think you would have a great car with hopefully no issues. I wouldn't buy a high km one.
Adding to my previous post it would have to involve Adam. I’m only asking because I’m wanting to buy a 2019 Holden Calais AWD 3.6 V6. And I’m sure Adam has reviewed one in his past life. Even if you guys just know about cars that you don’t have to show us but you have had experience with that would be cool. It just might invite more interaction with your viewers. They could ask about a certain car and get some advice and information.
That’s an Opel Insignia. It’s not a bad car
The country of origin is actually the USA 🇺🇸😂
Most of the X series BMW's that the Aussie market gets are built in Spartanburg South Carolina
Should have done the voice over in a Johnny Reb accent
Low 30k for a 120kms 2015-2016 high option is a steal!
Hey Adam love your reviews but mate,, can I suggest a small change… saying that car will do 1000km on a tank means nothing… how big is it? Maybe telling us the litres per km would mean something to us. Cheers.. by the way I bet the indicator stalk was virtually unused lol
I have the X5 E70 and its just clocked 210000.
same. love mine
I would love to get rid of my SUV Adam, but the wife wants to sit up high. I’ve had many wagons in the past and think they are the Swiss Army knife of motoring and are far less boring than a sedan. Keep up the great work. lloyd
Can't believe you were filming out my way and you didn't pop in for beer lol 🙂
How rude of us! Deepest apologies
30D xDrive is powered by a 3.0 inline 6 cylinder diesel
This is unbelievably timely for me.
The trouble with 5 series Tourings (which are great), there's not that many of them around as people are moronic these days.
I have jave an F15 x3 and i agree with the seating, can never get the seating perfect. As for android auto, an MMI seems to woro just fine.
Thinking the correct title “bayerische mist wagen, X5 what stayed working”, “Or I love the smell of burn rubber in the morning!!!”
Rear wiper blade?
30d is not a 4 cylinder 2.0 l ........it is a 3 litre 6 cylinder turbo diesel
Can you make a review based of the bmw x5m e70
You need to start listing the horsepower figures of the cars you’re reviewing. Also the 0-100 kmh if it’s not too much trouble
New graphics coming soon that will list power.
We used to do 0-60km/h times as that’s more relevant to real world driving.
0-100km/h is obviously the industry standard however, we generally film in Sydney and the combination of Sydney traffic and very few (if any locations) where it’s legal to do that test means we won’t be doing them.
Plus, we borrow these cars from friends, family and viewers and out of respect, I won’t be driving them hard to that degree. - AK
Are there any japanese reliable rivals that have big side windows like the x5 does? Always loved the tall boxy profile of the bmw SAVs
They never give you such good experience
Kluger but again boring to drive
honestly at that price might as well get the complete box of a G wagon
Only ones I can think of that sort of fit the bill are Isuzu Mu-X, Mitsubishi Pajero sport, Landcruiser and LC Prado.
There isn’t a sporty SUV like an X5 that the Japanese do really.
basically i just need to get richer to be able to maintain an x5 or range rover haha@@zeroyon4562
Maybe an idea. Viewers could ask Jim about a car there thinking about buying and make a video of maybe 5 cars he could give some advice on. Just a thought.
Great idea! We can definitely look at doing something like that
One key point about X5 is the ability to tow 3,5 ton. A touring can't do that. What car is better then, with added ride heigh for like wintertime and cruise control with stop&go?
Lexus.
Adam Morris I’ve heard they are making a new Top gear Australia I think you should of been on there instead of
Jonathan LaPaglia
4 cylinder b47 diesel engine does not have timing chain issue
My 12 year old E70d X5 is brilliant. :-)
Mine just clocked 210000KM
Mine is about the same age. LCI 40d with 215k on the clock. Timing chain has just started to get a bit noisy, so preparing myself for that!
No link up there buddy
Oh my greatness 🤦
The right amount of buttoms...can't agree more!
How about an m340? Thanks
I own a G05 x5 M50i. But I still think this f15 model is prettier than the current model.
German cars have always been overly expensive and the build quality isn’t what it was!! I’m on my 3rd 3 series touring and I can tell you the 3rd one is Nowhere near as good as the 1st one I had and I’ll not be getting another that’s for sure. Every bit of safety equipment you really need is an optional extra taking the price way way up!! Whereas on other cars the safety comes as standard. And let’s face it, you want to be as safe as you can, right!!! There are much better cars out there for much less money!! So if you buy I of these keep your fingers🤞…Great honest review mate, keep it up👍
A mate bought one....hated it. Biggest money pit in his life. Dumped it, bought a Holden S/W, smiles for miles....
I don't even need to watch this one. Everything. Everything has gone wrong. I've known too many X5 owners... Bad electronics, leaks everywhere, engine problems, Annual CV boot replacements, excessive running costs / brakes,tires etc.
My personal experience was a disaster. Purchased new, one of the 1st models, with a 3.0 diesel engine and the sports kit with giant wheels, xenons etc. Great tourer, and serviced by the book at good BMW dealers. (Yes I know, some are definitely best avoided). All going OK except...it loved eating very expensive rear tyres due to the recommended camber setup, then.....one day.....just after a full dealer service, and stopped at lights within 250 metres of the same dealer, ALL the engine warning lights came on, and a central msg to "Check engine oil level!" Switched off immediately, looked under the car - no sign of any leaks, so straight into the dealer a few hundred metres away. Service guys wheeled it straight onto a hoist, no sign of probs, then dropped and opened the bonnet. Here's the problem. The main fuel feed line on the very top of the engine had leaked diesel all down the side of the engine that had the additional heat exchanger fitted, as per the first model for a hot climate like ours. It was a matrix of alloy, plastic, and NON-nitril connecting rubber hoses that had basically been disintegrated by the leaking fuel! 3 weeks out of warranty, and with no parts in the country, the quoted repair bill was $10-12k, and no goodwill. Furthermore, no parts for at least 4 weeks! I drove away in a new 3-series sedan.
why oh why did you swap it for another Beemer? Seriously, there isn't a single German car (not since the 90s) these days that you can have any comfort will last ten years and travel over 150,000km without sending you broke. Though to be fair, nothing except far less interesting stuff from Toyota/Honda/Mazda and Hyundai probably do that either these days.
@@johnphaceas7434 WELL IT WAS CONVENIENCE AT THE TIME. I do agree with you, and will now only buy made-in-Germany cars. However, having said that I did have a good spell with i30's we used as company cars - damn good and no issues whatsoever for 5 years.
@@xenonozhid3383 yep, the Japanese and Koreans now are the standard setters for reliability and durability.
And take this as you see fit coming from someone who daily drives a 21yo Alfa 156 GTA (almost 260,000km and counting...) but I don't think "built in Germany" means anything anymore either: they have the same crappy plastic engine bay components and same planned obsolescence as their offshore stablemates.
In the UK we're having issues with thieves ripping out those M Sport steering wheels.
I believe the airbags in them are particularly rare and valuable.
what in the Aussie is chirping about during this review
The 'what goes wrong' section is possibly longer than the Range Rover one!
This is lovely. Informative, interesting. But still not an Audi S1, c'maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan.
Note to self. Never buy a used Beemer. Given the look of the newer models I'd look away
Can you guys review the F gen BMW 440 please!
Those are becoming really affordable and are actually reliable
@@MaliceRisk they are..a cheaper semi M4 alternative..sportier than the Audi S5
For the money Their Better than an M4 a secret gem if you know cars
@@MaliceRisk M4 prices are out of control in South Africa. The b58 440 is a gem..with Msport and a couple of aesthetic upgrades..the 440 coupe is a diamond and much cheaper.
this guy broke my heart. every car i liked, he has changed my mind about it. x5 sounds like ford territory with bmw batch i.e sticky door handle and zf6 gear box, failed rubber bushings, failed steering etc
E53 is the only X5 I’d consider.
