I recently made an update to this video with 21 reasons to buy it - you can check it out here: th-cam.com/video/emn0U1Zqs34/w-d-xo.html
By the way, I’m setting a goal for this channel to reach 5,000 subscribers by the end of this year. You know what to do to help! 😉 Thank you!! 😁
“This is a 2009 BMW X5”…. Didn’t know Doug Demuro had a nephew…. 😂 Do your thing Young Man 💪
Thank you sir!!
Doug Demuros Serbian nephew that is haha
It's good to see someone still happy with their decade old E70.
I bought my 2012 BMW E70 M50d in 2015 , now with 95,000 Km on it - it replaced an E46 4.8iS.which I loved. The design, build quality & performance are still great & I'm reluctant to replace it. The current BMWs are large & mostly ugly but I could be unfaithful in a Cayenne! I recently replaced the run-flat tyres with conventional Pirellis which made a huge difference to the ride. To reduce the 1/4 second delay on take off compared to the V8, I installed a SAAS throttle booster which certainly helps. Diesel fuel economy is much better at 8.6 L/100Km versus 13.5 L/100Km for the V8 & the 0 -100Km time is similar at around 5.5 seconds. Reliability has been great with no significant defects occurring. I avoid dealerships, it's serviced annually by a very good independent who was BMW trained here in Australia.
I've had my x5 e70 for 2 years now, bought it 2nd hand. I was scared to buy one because of reliability concerns and I did take my time to find a well looked after / well serviced car but this has been the most reliable car I've owned. Love driving in it, beautiful design inside and out - it was designed by a renault designer I believe. I still think the angel eyes are better looking than the current futuristic look, it was the last design that stayed true to BMW's original round lamps from previous decades. Great muscular buldges from every angle. Nothing to complain about other than the fact I wish I bought one with the side steps, mine has no steps and this is handy to have when requiring roof access to wash the car or mount a bike.
Just out of interest, what year is your X5, and mileage. I've got a 2012 with 60,000 miles on, and i'm starting think maybe it would be good to think about selling before it starts to go wrong.
@@stevenwreyford4570 I got 2009 with 140000 miles on a clock ...I bought it 7 years ago with 45000 on a clock....still driving like new .just make sure change gearbox oil , differential oil,transfer case oil every 70000 miles and do regular servis every 10000 miles and it will drive forever 👍✊🙏
We are in the same page my man I own my 08 x5 4.8 for 1 year now , no regrets at all, it has 190k miles on it, and no problems what so ever ,love it
@@stevenwreyford4570 2013 currently with 72,000kms, bought it in 2020 with 57,000kms
Which model u got bro?
This is an amazing start for a channel! Keep it up!
Thanks a lot Jose!!
Love my 2009 X5 E70. I've spent a few bucks on normal maintenance - shocks and suspension, and replaced an injector. It's a delight to drive and very reliable.
Thanks for that. Looking into getting one myself.
How much did you spend exactly? Over 5 thousands?
amazing video! love the way you explain things and you have a great tone of voice, very informative and easy to listen to. keep up the good work!
Thanks a lot!! Your nice words and support mean a lot to me!
this is a pretty cool review haha, im currently looking to get an E70 as a first car, this helped a lot, keep it up :)
Glad I could help, hope you make the right decision haha!
Terrible choice as a 1st car lol. High insurance, running costs, not to mention being an inexperienced driver handling and parking it, bound to damage or dent/crash it. You want something small, with cheap running costs for a couple of years to build up experience
@@leonwilliams1560 yeah ended up getting a cheap E83 X3 M Sport a few days after that comment instead haha
@@leonwilliams1560 it’s safe at least. It doesn’t feel like just a tank, 𝘪𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘬
Good vid..the real secret for e70 longevity is to replace all the functional plastic bmw put in the engine: coolant outlet , valve cover, etc...I recently replaced the factory plastic valve cover for an aluminum magnesium one in a n52...if you want some info I put it in a very amateur video , hope helps some1 (making vids is not easy)
5:56 the most satisfying sound ever to this date despite hearing it everyday 😭😭
Lazare puno ti hvala na savršenoj recenziji. Mislim da cu I sebi kupit ovakav tenk. Tnx 4 sharing the video.
Hvala tebi na lepom komentaru, uživaj u autu ako ga budeš kupio!
Love the X5 and also subbed thanks for doing the vid Im thinking about buying this car so u really helped
Thanks man, you won't regret buying it if you decide to do so
Just bought one yesterday in a really good shape and I love it❤
Really nice to hear that, hope it serves you well
Following on, I purchased an LCi E70 40D. Had it remapped to broaden the torque curve since I live in a hilly area. 680Nm and 305 bhp at the wheels (360 at the flywheel). Drives really smoothly and is ridiculously refined. The boot is amazing for long weekends with all the baby kit.
Any reliability issues since?
@@Birmingham_racing Engine-wise, no. But I'll need my AC pressure switch replaced because I've got a full tank of refridgerant but barely cooling. Additionally, I had one of my front calipers seize, so needed new discs, pads and a nearside caliper.
I do need to do a gearbox service on the 8 speed auto since it's getting to 100k miles.
But aside from new oil every 6k miles / 1 year, and the typical age related wear and tear which I had also experienced on my old Merc W204 C220, it just does the job.
I have a 2009 X5 xdrive 35d msport 286bhp with the M57 BMW unit,it goes well,lovely car,big 315 Bridgestone dueller sport tyres,and 275 dueller sports on the front,great car.
Thanks bro.
God leaded me to your video channel. My 535i 2010 just did the same think and you really helped. God bless you
Awesome man, glad to help
I brought one of these two weeks ago and love it awesome car I fill it with premium diesel as it’s better for the engine I’m not fussed about the cost
Great review. Love it.
Thank you Hafiz
Thx man I appreciate your review as I'm buying a 3d shortly as a workhorse. Good review 😊
Workhorse really is a great way to describe it. Good luck!
I own the 3.0 SD model (35d before it got renamed) which uses an identical M57 engine as the 30d in the video. I've had quite bad luck with mine, although i still love driving it. For the past 2 years I've had most PDC sensors changed, air regulator valve for the intake changed (used to make the engine stop smoothly and initiate DPF regen), both tail lights have taken in water and has had to be changed. Furthermore 6 month ago I had a main bearing go in the engine, which made ment replacing the entire engine... I've done every service in a timely manner. So sure it's a great car, but you might be unlucky like me.
Looking to get one of these. I know they look bit older but it just has that nice classic rugged beast look. Although, the successor GO5 is also nice looking. Thanks for sharing. I came across this video at the nick of time!
Totally agree with you!Amazing car!
This channel deserves 100k+ subs! Great review with quality video 👌🏻
Love the X5 in all its iterations! I wish they kept the interior more like this with the F series. You should do a review of the X6 as well please!
These cars are amazing all rounders - safe, luxurious, economical and great performance. As for “off-road” - most owners will never do more off-roading than parking on a sidewalk or the odd gravel road - myself included with my F16. Very impressed how stable it is on a gravel road at fair speed.
A G29 and an F16? What a collection you have! Thank you so much for sharing your insight with the F16, I'll try to get something close that for my next review. And thank you so much for supporting the channel, your comments really inspire me to make better and more videos. You have a cameo at 0:26 by the way, haha
True
Going to look at one today. Great honest review : )
Thx TechLife, did you end up getting it?
@@market_car I did. 2009 48i GT. t cme with Dual Exhaust and I ove it. But...I have a few repairs that are sreiously needed. But yes.
God bless and TY : )
@@techlife4667 That's amazing to hear. Can't imagine how good it sounds. Blessed be and hope for problem-free miles your way
just subscribed brother ! supporting your channel !
Thank you Paulo!
Very nice review. Thanks :)
Thank you very much
swap out the tires and wheels and it's really a solid car off-road. I have taken my x5 35d through the deserts of southern Utah and it handled like a champ. I use the same wheel setup now that I live in a city. I agree those wheels won't do much in the dirt. I use the diesel for lots of towing, the airbag springs in the back make heavy loads doable. It's a really nice all-around truck for someone who wants a BMW instead of a full sized pickup
I always found it strange to hear people call these "trucks". Is that what SUV's are called in Europe?
I got the E70 and i love it
Hell yeah!!
I use the side skirts to wash the roof because I'm quite short😅
Omg there is an actual use finally!!
E70 is the best car ever made
If My Bible Quote says it's the best car ever made, who could disagree?
keep it up g
465 th subscriber! Keep up the good work
Thanks Chris!
super review! by the way, the steering with the Active Steering option is very comfortable, did you tried?
Thanks Solo! This is the first time I'm hearing about this feature, I googled it and it seems perfect for the X5, maybe they should have just included it as standard hmmm
@@market_car one of the most comfortable features in the e70.
Have that option in my 2008 bmw x5 sd its super cool and very comfortable
35d with a nice tune and a ABC delete and you wont want the M trust! great video!
Diesel power is the best
We have a 2010 3ld x drive with stage 1 remap. Acceleration difference unbelievable and better mpg. £180. Well worth it.
Coincidentally £180 is probably also how much you pay for the fuel every week with that thing haha. Enjoy it!!
Im a lucky owner of low mileage (only 54 miles) e70 3.0d 2010. I own this car for about 3 years and it’s really amazing one. I had zero issues with it, the only thing annoying me is low profile tires, car feels quite hard on them but Im not changing them cause they give you so much grip and car control especially on high speed over 130m/h and also look won’t be so cool without them). Didn’t know about trick with keep your car running without a key, nice one, thanks;)
54 miles or 54k?
@@piovo5222 54k)
change from runflat tires to non-runflat tires, this will make the wheels much softer. I drive a e70 40d 20 inch rims, Non-flat. suspension is OK
Really heavy? I felt the steering to be ok with good weight to it
Yeah, I bought my 2011 30D x-drive to have a safe and comfortable on-road car with enough and practical luggage space, and it certainly has lived up to that. I don't drive off-road and I don't consider it an off-road car, but rather a good winter car. With a little bit of a diesel tune it is even quite fast. I have nothing to complain about yet, after two years of ownership. I really can't say that the wheel is heavy to turn. My one has active steering so I don't really have to turn the wheel a whole lot at slow speeds, but then again I'm a big guy so I guess I wouldn't notice anyway..
Glad to hear you've had a great experience Mr. Big Guy!
This video review is just crazy
Just crazy!
Najjaci SUV sa najboljim dizel motorom. Prodao sam Touarega TDI zbog ovog auta.
go for the e83, lots of repairs, but does not matter, best winter vehicle there is.
E83's are so common around here :I
I am official an owner. I love it
Steering is heavy because servotronic pressure converter is dead :)
The steering is heavy when parked because of the huge tyres running on the ground not because of the car weight! You are parked, the weight does not matter. 😉
The X5 e70 is superb off road as well as on road ! All versions of the X5 are well capable of negotiating all types of terrains in all weather conditions. By the way, the previous X5 e53 was mainly in auto versions (5 gear & later 6 gear Auto versions) and one manual version.
I don't understand you saying that the steering is too heavy and difficult...are you a wimp?! 🙄😂 The X5 is also very easy to park smoothly without effort.
i am obsessed with the wheels that u have, i even bought a whole set to put on my x6 50i as those wheels don't come with the v8 engine option.
The Y is wheels look amazing on this car!
There is low Aftermarket support and the First-generation and second-generation us costly especially at the dealer. I am interested in getting especially the 2011-2018 XDRIVE 35D so if you know some cost-effective aftermarket sites or places to buy parts then I might buy one.
Sadly I'm not that experienced in the American market but I've heard good things about BimmerWorld from Sreten over at M539 Restorations. Good luck!
Dude... you have no idea. I bought an x5 50i 2011 and it eats up off road terrain like pies. From West Texas unpaved super rocky oil fields to forest trails to blizzards... it doesn't matter.
Glad to hear that, would love to experience it myself
My Xdrive 35i has such loud turbos. Having two is even better!
Two huge turbos, you are officially living the dream
@@market_car well it’s not diesel so it does come with it’s own set of issues lol
Never taken my 2012 35d through serious mud but it's gone through 4 inches of mud at a steep grade and went right up it. Not as good as my land Rover off road though you can feel it unlike the land Rover
Hell yeah brother!
I’ve had this car for awhile. Tbh a lot of issues. Most common issue I’ve had is the rear sagging of the air suspension . And one day the engine just started smoking due to valve seal flaws in total I had to pay 10,000$ to get it fixed then get it appraised and sold for 7,000$. If you’re going to buy a bmw buy an M car. Bought a 2016 bmw m4 competition and to this day never had any issues. Been using it daily to commute and from the time I’ve owned it I have not had any major repairs *knock on wood*
Air suspension (skull emoji) - Love the M4
I test drove e70 3.0sd yesterday,and i can't wait to pay for it
Enjoy it!!
@@market_car thanks,am already doing it,the thing is so fast and am doing around 35mpg combined,heated steering wheel and seats full leather, aluminium finishing etc do many extras ,19 inch alloys though no good looking,no sunroof though
I wouldn't call the E70 not worthy off-road. The facelift gave the car almost an inch more ground clearance and most X5s come with sport tires so now they're known for not being good but something as simple as tires change everything. Try taking a Land Rover off-road with sport tires and not even 4 low, lockers would help that thing.
I agree, with thicker tires this thing would be an absolute beast off-road
It's only got clearance on it's side. The very unreliable airsprings, the low profile tyres, tendency to develop oil leaks and un-reinforced suspension are not suited to off-road at all. Drive it like a Hilux and it will be off the road permanently after 10,000 miles....
Great video but i tryed to warm up my X5E70 3.0D and it not works and i dont know why 🤷♂️
Have to take the key completely out before starting again and you have to start it again within 5 seconds of shutting it down
As someone with a 1-series I can tell you BMW drive input is "heavy", but it feels solid and deliberate. But I'm also on the bigger side (6'1" @200lbs) so it feels comfortable.
Fully agree on what you said about it being solid and deliberate. Feels very direct to me
Agree. My e90 and e87 I love the heavy steering. Drove family f30 and it felt like a car with no soul in it. Might as well get a Camry
Vozim isti samo restyle 2011. Predobar auto. Primetio sam tablice Sveti Lazar😂
Odakle si? Pozdrav
Pozdrav Andrija, ima li nekih većih razlika u LCI verziji? Kul auto. Hvala na komentaru. Iz Svilajnca
@@market_car pa ja sam se raspitao ore nego sto sam usao u potragu za mojim i jedino sto sam uspeo da vidim je da je motor pretpostavljam isti, jedan turbo je u pitanju, samo 245ks umesto 235ks (non LCI)..
Svetla (angel eyes) su bela dnevna kao i stopaljke (zadnja svetla) su drugacije kao da su "led". I softver za navigaciju tj iDrive je noviji tj CIC u LCI i lepsi za razliku od non LCI koji ima CCC.
Iskreno najvise sam gledao restyle zbog iDrive novijeg kao i 8-stepenog menjaca umesto 6-stepenog.. I moj model ima Adaptive drive sto ne znam da li non LCI moze da ima.
Pozdrav
There are many videos on YT that show bmw x5 is a good off road car with proper tires and wheels on.
It would probably be a beast on some off-road trails!

Thanks youtube user!
Nice E70.
Thanks Mr. Euroworks!
@@market_car I am on my second E70 and it is difficult for me to find a better car to replace it with in case I have to.
I have heard these can be expensive to maintain.So 2 years later what you say about that?
th-cam.com/video/X9ZB--Az8uw/w-d-xo.html
I had this czr and gave me nothing but issues...I guess I was unlucky cause it was amoney pit for me
Anyone here owning an petrol powered one? I want to order an N52 3.0 turbo petrol 272 bhp (the one without HPFP) and put it on 18'' rims.
I don’t have a petrol but I can just tell that thing would drive like a dream. Hope you get it!
How good is the 330d xdrive in the 3series?
I hope to get one soon to review, I haven’t driven one yet. I’ll keep you posted.
Sir is it a good idea buying a second hand BMW X5 2008-2011?
Or a 2013
If you get a nicely taken care of one you should be the happiest man in the world driving this thing around.
You left your Fox kneepad on... So, probably not so obvious question is "Can you carry your enduro bikes in the boot of the car without taking off the wheel?" I'm looking at an E70 because the second hand prices of them are very affordable now and with a growing family, I need something slightly bigger to replace my S204 C220D wagon.
Hmmm to be honest I am not one hundred percent sure because I don't ride enduro but there is definitely space for a road bike (or two) in the back (without taking the wheel (or anything else) off) if you fold the seats down because then it becomes a huge space. You could probably comfortably live out of this car if you had to. Would be a really nice replacement for the mercedes if you ask me. Thanks for the comment!
@@market_car I test drove a G01 X3 30d and was more than impressed with the power delivery and torque and the fact that it had adequate space. My other half has a Mini Countryman with the N47 1.6 and the G01 felt like just a larger countryman but with more of everything. I've seen ExoticCar PayPlace's videos on his E70 and it was refreshing to see somebody do another video.
What's been your major issues you've had with the car? I'm going to factor in the potential issues such as injectors and stuck glow plugs, but the cars I'm looking at buying are all 70k miles (120 km) or less.
@@Titot182 The G01 looks really good for the price and if the space and power delivery are as good as you say then it is probably a better buy, just depends if you like the old school style or the newer. For the maintenance I wouldn't take my advice on it, I don't have much experience with the maintenance on these cars and I wouldn't want to mislead you
What year is the car?
It’s a 2010 pre-facelift
Does it have sport mode
Not really, but you can put the shifter in "S" for later shifting which adds to the sportiness I guess
He said it right it does feel like you are driving a tank lol
Traded my 2013 X5 xDrive35i for a 2017 X5 xDrive35i with M Sport.
What's it been like
@@market_car 2 major major breakdowns and a lot of planned maintenance. Typical N55 problems I encountered. I bought this 2013 X5 with 127,000 and sold it at 198,000.

Put a decent set of tyres of these e70's and they are a very capable offroad vehicle. I'm speaking from experience 😊
They can be! What's the coolest place you've taken your E70?
@market_car I live in Scotland..so we have access to many off road tracks. The e70 is amazing on them
@@stevie750iL Love Scotland. Great place. Cheers!
I've been tracking expenses for my 2011 E70 X5d since the beginning of this year. I bought it used with about 170k miles and it's at 246,555 right now.
So far (Jan 1-Oct 24th), I've driven 26,217miles. Spent $3,368.19 in fuel, and $1193.34 in maintenance. Biggest expenses were rebuilding my valvebody at $603, changing the diff/x-fer case fluids at $261.34 and I did the work myself. A cents per mile cost came to $0.17 for maint/fuel.
How happy are you with the figures?
@@market_car Considering what I get from the car, I don't find it that bad. A YotaRolla would be cheaper but it's not comparable.
I just wish diesel wasn't $5.60/gal here in NY when regular is $3.40.
I have a 2011 x5 e70 with 40k miles on it
Are you happy with it?
@@market_car so far so good
All I got to say is 2009 I got a x5 4.0 brand new right after warranty expire around 40.000 miles it start to leak oil from the mean block, $3,800 to fix I drove that car for 6 years I spent I little over $6.000 with Mecanic problems ! Sold it for a $16.000 with 76.000 mikes , what a release when It was gone . 2 months after I have sold it the guy call me saying that he spent $1800 to fix a AWD differential !
After that I bought a GX460 made in Japan the most reliable and luxury truck in America. My piece of advice , don’t buy a BMW , lease it !!!
Did you at least get to enjoy it when it wasn’t in the shop?
Um what's a e55. The first year of the x5 was a e53.
get your steering checked mine is smooth and very light
I’m not sure what that’s about. Maybe it’s this specific car or maybe it’s a pre-facelift vs. facelift thing, or just an update since this is the first model year of the E70. Either way I like it when it’s a bit heavier, it gives you that huge car feel. Cheers!

Dollar tree Doug demuro. Still good vid
I’m at least a Costco version
@@market_car 🤣 awesome video it answered some questions I had on the car. Keep them coming
@@deroy08 thanks 🙏
Well, the review started with utterly false information, this guy has obviously never taken an X5 e70 off road. The E53 wasnt much chop as it didnt have Xdrive, but i have an E83 X3 and an E70 X5, both with Xdrive and they are extremely and surprisingly capable off road, and im talking rock trails and steep climbs, even with diagonal wheels off the ground, they just keep going.

Crazy comment, handsome
Has Anybody in here done a full delete?
Full exhaust delete? It would probably sound like a jet taking off!
Only buy a used bmw is you have the money to maintain it, bmw’s aren’t cheap and will never be cheap
Remember, most of the times a cheap bmw is actually a expensive bmw
I know everyone want to have a bmw and I don’t blame any of you even I want one but I know you gotta spend a lot to make them work properly because for example this bmw on the video is a 2009 model, that means is a 14 years old car, still a luxury monster I know but you gotta spend a lot of money to keep the car rolling, so at certain point is way better to buy a new car than maintaining a old bmw to be honest
My wife is 5'4". The steering is not heavy. 😅
Seems like I need to hit the gym
@@market_car 😄
I can see you like Doug DeMuro, but you should make diffrent style of videos, idk if you'll have alot of followers with doing the same thing as him.
Thanks Vlad! I will try to do something different, thank you for helping me

Hi young Doug Demuro
Hi
I doubt the E53 had a manual transmission....
Both a 5 and a 6 speed transmission was offered, however, in reality only less than 1% of the cars were ordered with a manual so it's pretty rare
@@market_car Yes I was wrong. Didn't even imagine that 😀
Well you were 99% right, I'd say those are pretty good numbers
30d isn't turbo charge no? Neither is the 30i.
30d yes, 30i no
28 subscribers? That was a year ago you moved on since then
Yes I’m up to 30 now, 31 even!
Owned a 2012 x5 xDrive50i with 120K miles, and the happiest day of my life was when I sold it.
Source: Trust me bro.
My X5 engine needs replacement. 😑
It's a sad day
I test drove a newer 2014 x5. Numb feel but also jumps around like a plank, too firm. Car doesnt know what it wants to be. x3 drives like a car, ML drives like SUV, both are better.
jao sabanerije "LAZAR" na bmw-u
Which plates have you got on your BMW?
i have on my fiat punto "fck bmw"@@market_car
Stick to N52 engine
Why's that?
Dude never uses side steps. Thus the obliterated side bolsters. Lol
Which side bolsters? Lol
The X5 does have off roading capability since the first generation. So you're basically lying spreading false claims
First-gen: maybe. The E70, though, was more of a sports car that ate a bee than an off-roader
nice video but the intro is too much copycat
Sorry Milan 😭
I think first you need to answer what is like in 2022. And only then continue with the topic of the matter.. 😂
Thanks for that! Will do next time!
