      I think you would need to be careful to buy one in good condition with service history that has been looked after. And keep aside some money for repairs if and when they are needed :) Thanks!

    If I was looking for an E70, I'd probably go for the base RWD 3 litre petrol... The others are just too risky... I do however prefer the E70's interior to the old E53 X5 as it just looks nicer and is better quality in my opinion...
    Great review 👍

    • @JJonCars
      @JJonCars  ปีที่แล้ว

      Cheers Martin. I couldn't find any information about a RWD model, I wonder if they didn't sell it in the UK. The interior is really nice in this X5. I've not made my mind up on what I think about the E53 exterior looks vs this car - I think the old one looks like a big toy, which is kinda cool. The E70 looks more like a grown-up proper modern car 😄

    Hello JJ, let me ask you a question. What is the value of this 13 year E70 BMW X5 used car in the UK? I bought this American version in 13 years and have been using it in China without any problems, but it has been a long time and I have been considering whether to sell it! Questions from China.

    • @JJonCars
      @JJonCars  7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hello. I think in the UK it is worth around £14 - £15,000. But it will probably be different value in China!

    I wouldn't be a big fan of BMW because of reliability and cost of repairs. but if i buy an suv probably would be a Vitara only weights 1.2 tons lighters then some hatchbacks and you can get good mpg and they have a great boxy van type shape and you can get it in all wheel drive as well

    If you love suboptimal then yes, buy it.
    Otherwise a 3 or 5 Series Touring would be : cheaper, much nicer to drive, more comfortable, faster, uses less fuel, better for the environment, and classier.
