BMW X5 F15 40e (313 Hp) Plug-in Hybrid xDrive Steptronic

BMW X5:

The BMW X5 is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV produced by BMW. The X5 made its debut in 1999 as the E53 model. It was BMW's first SUV. At launch, it featured all-wheel drive and was available with either a manual or automatic gearbox. The second generation was launched in 2006, and was known internally as the E70. The E70 featured the torque-split capable xDrive all-wheel drive system mated to an automatic gearbox. In 2009, the X5 M performance variant was released as a 2010 model.
BMW marketed the X5 officially as a "Sports Activity Vehicle" , rather than an SUV, to indicate its on-road handling capability despite its large dimensions. The X5 signaled a shift away from the utilisation of body-on-frame construction, in favour of more modern monocoque chassis construction. Although the Mercedes-Benz M-Class was introduced more than a year prior to the X5, the X5 was the first to utilise a monocoque chassis. The M-Class used body-on-frame construction until its second generation....(Read more on Wikipedia)

Interestingly enough, I actually bought a BMW X5 2011 x35i with the N55 engine about 6 months back. The previous owner had essentially replaced everything that could have failed at 100k miles so it is likely to run for another 60K miles without any major repairs which is really all I need. Like other posters have said, it’s a clunky car. I can pretty much feel every pothole. I get about 20mpg at the most.

Get the lowest mile BMW X5 you can get in your budget. The lower the miles the less likely it needs timing chain and water pump replaced and also another big maintenance could be the gearbox needing serviced or clutch needing to be replaced closer to 100k miles. I used to hand a bmw with 100k miles and it only needed a few things done but I got lucky I guess. Heard of many bigger issues coming after 100k+ miles so just have a thorough inspection or get an inspection done by a recognised garage.

OK i found it. Its the oil filter housing in parts. Not called the cooler. It has 2 gaskets+ **GS33747 Mahle Oil Filter Housing O-Ring for 320 328 528 535 740 525 530 BMW X5**
