- 9 Years later, can BMW X5 E70 Diesel be the ultimate long trip/off road SUV? I thinks so! Here is the list of things that went wrong with the X5 Diesel in my 4 years of ownership:
BMW X5 E70 Diesel Reliability:
DPF Active tank sensor - entire tank replaced under BMW extended warranty free
Idler pulley bolt - recall covered by BMW free
Throttle body valve actuator - DIY replaced myself , part roughly $150-$220
BMW X5 E70 Diesel Maintenance Cost
Engine oil - $100 DIY
Air Filter - cleanable K&N AF $65
DEF (Diesel Exhaust Fluid) roughly every 10k mi - $13
EGR Valve cleaning - $8

Thanks for this. Looking to get one of these soon.
Most welcome 🙏
Nice owner review. Thanks
Thanks 🙏
Picked up a ‘12 e70 gas last year. Currently just under 190k miles. It’s been a great car and is a tank for sure. I have done A TON of work to it with more to go but still no regrets. Solid, comfortable, and roomy.
Nice , definitely worth the money 👍
Can't beleive you have that much mileage. I had 120k on my 2013 and I spent close to $7000 in less than 2 years for many issues.
Great video. It truly has everything you need in a vehicle. For the price you can pick them up at these days they make for a great utility workhorse with a whole lot of comfort to boot. I also feel like I am driving a tank when inside it. And my wife loves the ride height and comfort on the long road.
No kidding man. I also went through some serious snow blizzards in it no problem 👍
I fixed most of the problems myself.
Recommend to throw fuel injector cleaner with every tank.
The rear suspension bag fixed.
I- knob fixed just with resolder
Halo fixed with software
Nice car i enjoy it. Lots of torque and good fuel consumption.
Cheers
Thanks for the info. Yeah I’ve never done the fuel injector cleaner so I might need to check that out soon
Did you do the rear bag yourself
Video well done👍🏻
Diesel e70's are the ultimate SUV's!!
Thanks mate
I got an E70 with the m-sport package and executive package, deleted the emissions filtering and tuned it and its probably the funnest car i've owned to date. Hilariously fast for its size.
Whoa I wanted to do that but there’s no way of passing emissions in my state like that :/
Hi, how do you do that ? Can you give me a walk through, so as I may perform the same operations on mine ?
How do you do that ? Can you help ?
@@franckst-juste153 You just have to find a local shop that works on BMW's. Its pretty standard. just tell them you want to delete the emissions crap and they'll do it.
@@codylujan Thanks a bundle
I approved👌 ive got the same ..one my best car
Yessir great car 👍
Absolutely love my E70 35d sport. The styling has totally stood the test of time. The issue with them is all the emissions junk hanging off the motor. DPF, DEF Tanks, EGR stuff. Without those problem areas this rig could easily be one of the best SUVs ever made in terms of handling, power, fuel economy & reliability. I have to admit though, the problem items are scary when they go bad..... easily can cost more to fix than the car is worth.
I could not agree more !
@@petarcolic8579 21-23mpg
Delete d lete lete
@@hazlox Agree, but some of us live in areas that due to inspection requirements we can't get away with it.
@@loseerich493I don’t anywhere that checks diesel
Nice video. Looking to buy one in the spring. How many miles does your have ? Are you planning to delete and tune it?
It’s at almost 110k. My wife is driving it so no tuning on this one haha
Congratulations on the wonderful review, I gladly watched it all. I find myself having to change cars and for need I will focus on an SUV, I like the BMW x5 as much, too much like yours, I even prefer it to the series after 2014. The problem with these cars is that here in Italy they are found few, those few cost a lot and I am not sure that the kilometers are certified, what would you do would you recommend this car the 30 / 35d with 130.000 kilometers or even more? Price of around 13.500 / 16.000 euros.
They are great cars with amazing fuel consumption numbers, but honestly I would not recommend getting ANY BMW with such high odometer readings. All of them will start giving you problems after 100k miles. I would go for 40-60mi but no more 👍
Don't call it "this thing"....rather call it "my baby"....or this "SUV"...or this "car"...I have one as well...mine is a 2008 E70 3.0 Diesel...she is 14 years old and still going like the tank she is...I am very very happy with her.
I put the flare out fenders and larger wider wheels from the v8 version on mine .... fits perfectly
Hey, what year is your E70? Because i have noticed you have bluethooth audio connection or iam wrong? Is it manufactury option or you did some upgrades?
2011 and yes it does have Bluetooth! It is a manufacturing option 👍
@@BIMMERLEAGUE Yeah did some research and saw that some of them does and some dont have this option.
Huh that’s odd. Get the x5m e70 haha I’m sure it has it 😭💪
@@denukasss with cic system (facelift 2011 and up) you can download update (little software) from dealer website and upgrade your x5 for bluetooth !!!!
Great video
Thanks so much!
Are you in the US? Have you had any issues (long term) with the emissions equipment?
Yes US and no not at all . I do have to get emissions done annually in Colorado. In fact I’m renewing registration right this moment lol. But no issues since we bought it in 2016
Would like to say tha k you for the info on 2011 x5d. I just pirchas one. And I think I might return it now lol.. again thank you for the info on All the crap that thses model has..
For sure bud. All of the older BMWs have knows issues. I’d recommend 2014+ they are a lot more reliable now but used car market is crazy right now 🙆♂️
I own a E92 335is looking at getting a more daily car. espicially for winter. Plan to put a tune on it to lmao. But man they are so rare to find with the sport pack (I cannot handle a headliner that isn't black).
Black with brown leather diesel was hard enough to find. Now with M sport package is nearly impossible to find from what I remember
@@BIMMERLEAGUE Haha yeah black and brown is also the combo I like I guess I will wait.
The E70 is only 190cm wide even with 7 seats so you can park it anywhere, not 221cm like GU5 5 seater. Steering and balance are traditional BMW good feedback and 50/50. Diesel has a long tank range and strong torque especially with emmision filter delete and a remap. Mine has 340,000 on it in the last 12 years. I tried the later F15 and current GU5, no comparison, traditional bmw feel & qualities removed, to feel like a Japanese car, but without their reliability.
Sounds like it is !
Fun fact: No DEF in Europe before 2014 😊
Oh wow lucky Europe lol
By the time my E70 X5 35i reached 120k miles it had become a serious expense to me... traded in for a 2017 F15 X5 35i. Now with 60k miles and had ZERO issues.
The F15 X5 with 20in tires sits higher than my E70
Yeah I’m at 110k+ now and planning on upgrading to a newer one soon (before things started totally falling apart lol)
How does it compare to the other 7 seaters diesel from that era?
GL350? Q7?
No idea boss never driven the competitors so I can’t speak to it
@@BIMMERLEAGUE
One thing that could really help in reviews, is to measure the rear cargo area, with all seats flat, to know how much stuff we can transport. A 4x8 sheet of plywood? a surfboard?
@@lumberjackdreamer6267 good idea 👍
I’m picking mine up in a couple days can you do any tunes to make it faster ?
Why do you need a diesel SUV to go fast? Lol
@@BIMMERLEAGUE I like having a fast car that can keep up on the highway you got me thinking I should choose another car it between this X5 or an F30 328i
If I was you I’d rather go for a f30 340i, if you tune it it can be like m3 fast, that b58 engine is awesome. I think this one is next best thing to f80 m3 👍
Delete and tune and it’ll be fast and more reliable
My wife drives it she don’t need a tune 😆
Is this tunned or deleted !!
Neither
The best and strongast motor is 35sd
🤘🤘🤘
40d?
We hit 7 years with ours and the Engine ECU went out costing $3.5K and a few weeks later the Active DEF tank is throwing up errors, that is going to be another $3.5K I've seen a lot of others with these issues. I'd say get rid of the X5 diesel after 6 years. But during that time it was perfect.
Wow that’s unfortunate man. Active DEF tank should be under extended warranty though
@@BIMMERLEAGUE The Engine ECU was covered till 80K in the gas X5 but 70K for diesel. I've been reading that the tank could be covered.. I'm hoping so. I need to take it in for a recall on the Power Steering Pully this week. I'm going to have them check.
@@patrickirish2103last I heard it was 10 years/120k miles. I got mine replaced for free thanks god
@@BIMMERLEAGUE Found it static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/2016/MC-10146808-9999.pdf
Yep that’s the one 👌
Congratulation with K&N filter You in One Step to kill Your Motor And Turbo!!!!
Why so? 🤨
@@BIMMERLEAGUE K&N build for more flow air to intake and thats mean less guard from dust and sand!!!! Double check review from people not from K&N.
K&N filters have been around for a very very long time and no ones motor/turbos got killed by them mate. But I will sure thing to check it out your theory. Thanks
@@BIMMERLEAGUE I do have 2011 bmw e70 diesel with sports package and only have 62k miles. Iv checked with bimmer forum some of them highly not recommended because we have allot of extra stuff egr,def tween turbo, motor oil long life-04 etc.
P.S. I really like my x5 and will keeping for a long time 🙂
Yeah awesome car for sure 👍
Twice as heavy? It's really not very heavy.
Compared to a legitimate tank it’s not that heavy yes 😆🤣
Almost every SUV in this class is heavier. Jeep Grand Cherokee WK2 (2011-on) is a lot heavier.
@@mcplutt I’ve worked at the car dealership for 3.5 years and have driven many other SUVs and none felt has heavy as our X5. Maybe it’s just the heavy BMW steering that makes it feel heavier idk 🤷♂️
@@BIMMERLEAGUE Idk, I have active steering :-)
@@mcplutt ahh I see 👌
you dont need crap music to do a decent BMW review.
We all start somewhere heh ))
