Is it worth buying E70 BMW X5 M in 2021? 

Lost me at V8 M 🤣 Anxiety when you mentioned 2 turbos, and full fledge panic attack when you said three water pumps 🤣🤣🤣🤣 I stick with my 11 X5 E70 35i. Love the videos. Can't wait to see more N55 content 💪

Thanks for the most fantastic review I ever read about X5M

Excelent review ! Thanks for all the info

This was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome review ! Love the honesty,it is still 100% on my list.All the best from sydney,Australia.

Hello Tim Good honest presentation , that is a beast of a machine and in the all black looks superb , if l was 30 years younger l would also choose the "M" but now l am an old bastard l will putt around in the 06 diesel. It will be sad to see these crazy powered cars in years to come will be a thing of the past when electric cars get more and more popular but hey that's progress. So Tim l hope your studying up on how to repair "E" cars..once again great vlog mate..keep them coming and stay safe mate!!

I want to just say you have helped me work on my car so much and gave me a ton of motivation to do my own stage 2 turbo install and oil pan gasket in my 2010 335i n54. Thank you, please keep up the videos. I would like to know how you started as a bmw tech and how long it took to get so good? I was able to install new turbos and oil pan gasket thanks to your videos help!

Am impressed with your explanations and you have made it easy for me, how ever you didn't talk about the fuel consumption thanks Obrien Wejuli Nairobi

Very good review. Thank you for your informative video.

Great review. Worth mentioning that X5M has X6 headlights. I would consider getting one over my 35i E70, O don’t even mind the S63, but I do mind getting the ZF6, the ZF8 in 35i feels sooo much better. 🤷🏻‍♂️

BMW kept this engine a long time, a testament to how good they think it is. Gives me confidence in buying.

Nice review. What about the valve steam seals needing upgrading?

The batteries in the remotes with Comfort Access don't drain if you don't put them in the slot, because they don't charge like the normal remotes.

I have a 2011 x5 with 152,000 miles with a jb4 and upgraded turbos it's around 550 hp. It's super easy to work on i had replaces my turbos myself 1st time but it's not a 2 day job unless you really know what you're doing but if I can most guys can. Up next decatting the cats to get close to 600hp 😁

Excellent Presentation as always and in detail info!! 100-100

DID i MISS IN Your video explanation of overheating issue with twin turbos located in the V of the v8 engine or a (n) impossible mod for it? I have a 13 35d...

I’m sold. I’m following and subscribing to you.

You can also tell by the headlights shape. X5M is pointed towards the back, standard is more angled

Definitely a great car for a different wallet. I picked up a X1 35i. Maybe a bit over priced. I could have negotiated but I felt that the car was ok.

Great video, was all keen until you said 3 water pumps and having had to replace 1 on a BMW before I started sweating thinking about how much this would cost me

Use 3.0 diesel v 6 , just regular maintenance, oil, filters.. just be careful what kind of diesel you use, add additives for diesel " liquy moly" for clean injectors...

In europe they're for sale at around 30k euros

Hi Tim, I have 2008 BMW X5 3.0si with 4 zone climate control. About to replace the water pump & thermostat. Should I remove the fan & pull out from top or from under. Recommendations much appreciated

Im buying one this weekend. Do you have anymore DIY videos?

I have the 2012 e70 35D and it has 122k on it been a wonderful fast family car with no major issues I was worried about the v8s having the rod bearing issues that many bmw v8s have anyone have a V8? Any problems yet?

It was 2014 before the X5M received the 8 speed transmission.

I didn't know the e70 came with cooled and massaged seats, were these available options back than or the owner upgraded it from f10 and f02 seats ??

My buddy has one. Turbos are out now. Not the first problem either

Didn’t buy the x5, seller must have gotten cold feet and didn’t show up. I’m looking at a 2012 BMW X1, do you recommend those? It’s got the 3.0 Turbo Engine

Do you recommend buying the BMW x5 xdrive 35i from 2009 to 2012 around 100 to 150k km, the price in my country is around 9k to 12k dollars? Would it be a good investment for my first car?

I'm currently in negotiations to buy a 2011 X5M with 31,000 kms on it. The only reason I'm really considering it is because of the low milage. Just wondering how much of these common issues I could expect to run into with a low milage and well serviced example.

The only other thing I recall being a disappointment on this car is the sound. It doesn’t sound right and that is because of the exhaust manifold. For some reason bmw did make the manifold pipes all the same length 😢 and that affects the sound coming out at the exhausts. It doesn’t have the v8 sound. Why? I’m not even sure you can fix/change it due to the space? No idea.

Well bought mine last month for 15k 2011, added downpipes i love it, you forgot to mentioned that sucker swallows gas!!!

Forgot mentioned the headlights as they're different compared with none M models

Try 0-60 mph in 4.0-4.3. Not sure where he came up with 4.7 not a single major car review source says 4.7.

im so confused between x5m x70 and an F15 x5 i want a new daily i live in mountains (and snow) an M50 f15 is alot more then 30k so might gonna go with a crazy e70 for few years idk.

Those coolant lines are like $40 worth of hoses, some clamps, and an hour of time.

The headlights are different than in a regular x5

Can you do a video intake manifold gaskets for bmw328i

what about X6 2013 E71 35i is it worth buying in 2021 nowadays?

Nice car. But for me will be easier to put supercharge on my qx70. And it be more reliable

Two words, rod bearings. If the price is right it might be worth it. Anything over 20K should be RTR. 15K or less for a runner. If it knocks leave it for dead.

Hard choice E70 is like $22K for 70k mi, but the F85 is like $43k for 80k mi in 2023. But the looks of that F85 are amazing. BMW knows how to make a car upgrade for sure. Very hard choice, even still.

I owned one for 6 months and sold it. Drove it home from buying it and blew a vacuum line.. Replaced it and a month later blew another. Changed all vacuum lines. As well as one rear air shock. I then realized auxiliary turbo pump stopped working and replaced it. After doing all this, i got reduced power malfunction on full throttle. At this point i sold it. I suspect i needed coils and spark plugs. Worst case scenario injectors. Car had 60,000 miles so it was imminent to change all. Expect paying 1800 for sparks and coils. Injectors over 2,000. If you can wrench yourself great! But if not, definitely not a car you need Now i own a g63 amg. So far so good lol. Fingers crossed 🤣

Still waiting for a x5 2010 diesel review haha

The biggest costs that come from this review include labor. What does BMW charge per hour? $200.00? Then OEM parts as well, which are severely inflated. 1) Price out off brand parts and look at reviews, 2) Do the work yourself

Imagine a beast with low maintenance cost 😂

@Zeiten LLC what a great video! No hyperbole, no sugar coating, no gloom and doom, just the facts from your many years experience working on BMWs. I've actually been contemplating getting one of these to use for the next few years until the Tesla truck is out for a while and thoroughly vetted. Your video certainly is helping me with my decision. It sounds like if you thoroughly check the car out and budget say $2-3k per year for maintenance (and another $50k for gas :)) this could be a reasonable proposition. Quick question, I have a 1992 850i 6p I am bringing back to life. A great automobile mechanic, body guy and good friend repainted the car a beautiful carbon black. After the repaint the engine bay was carefully steam cleaned, but now when you start the car it only runs for like 1min then bumps up a few hundred rpm and then dies. We checked both distributors but there is no indication water got in there. Replaced the fuel filters, still no luck. He was thinking the timing and cylinder identification sensors but visually they seem fine. His specialty had kind of been American Muscle cars but he is branching out lately and did a great job on a Ferrari and is now working on my 850i. Have you ever seen this, any thoughts???

The headlights are a different shape. Same as the X6 same generation

headlights are different than normal e70 fyi.

16:00

Which is more reliable: 2009-2010 X5M or same year Cayenne Turbo?

M is my dream but...😄 What do you think about this car with n52?

So what you telling us is that if you not rich or a bmw mechanic don’t buy it. Got it

That’s Long Beach

you are not gonna talk about headlights? i would say that is one of the main difference between regular and M x5

3 water pumps :o

ok ill get a corolla

Далан, давай уже по-русски.

who cares ,looks good

35d is the best e70. 750km per tank city. Delete and tune. I love mine.

money pit
