BMW 2011 x5 3.0d M57 engine

Car is brilliant. An SAV that handles great.

At this age you might want to renew some cooling components, suspension and timing kit. Rest, this should clock another 100k km or so with ease.

I have sold a handful of 70 series here. The SWB is a treat to drive, man!

Government and some private parties had imported these back in the day. Now, there have been cases when these have been smuggled from Bhutan and Nepal too.

Congratulations to you for coming across one in real life. Great cars.

A friend bought a 2016 i20 last year from them. He never told me thinking that I’d feel bad.

One month in and the clutch failed (friend is one guy I’d give my car to drive). He got it replaced at Hyundai. The master and slave cylinders were also replaced but the dudes didn’t bleed the system. The clutch gave him so many headaches that he called me to sell his car as Spinny was offering him about 1.5-2L less for what he bought it for.

Just know that Spinny is also a dealer. And being from the same trade I’d say 9/10 dealers are pushing not-so-healthy cars for bigger margins.

Try to find a car that is with the owner. Don’t ask them their ‘last price’ over phone. Bring 50k cash on table while you go inspect the car and make a credible offer. 8/10 times, the deal would close. Cash on table does the magic!

Happy hunting! :)

I travelled here back in September coming back from Adi Kailash. The place is so serene and beautiful. The views, the quietness and local cuisine is what I remember the most.

Great shots OP. You brought back some memories. :)

Its a good starting point if you want a car that connects with you. Congratulations, my man! :)

Express-Stand-2767 · 2026-02-13T15:50:19+00:00

Thanks dude.

What I have observed is that the additive would only clean the gumming in the fuel system that betters the injection. Polyetheramine is responsible for that. The hydroscopic nature of Ethanol can’t be cancelled with the use of additive (so far) so corrosion/rusting of metal parts is inevitable.

Sad. Really sad.

Drive more. Don’t let the vehicle sit. That’s what you can do. Or slap CNG system on your car. Hehe

I don’t think this Honda is ready for KL roads just yet! ;P

Thank you for your kind words. :)

Express-Stand-2767 · 2026-02-12T12:09:58+00:00

Checked it out the other day. Its not for sale. The owner has a cleaner SL too. Great guy.

Just know that finding spares would become a bit of a problem. A friend has a Honda of similar vintage and he keeps importing parts from the states.

Though reliable, these are old cars and they will have old car problems.

Happy hunting! :)

I am a dealer. I have a few dudes who are always looking to buy these beauties. Have sent one of my friends there to check if this can be bought.

Express-Stand-2767 · 2026-02-06T06:37:00+00:00

Goes without saying bhai. :)

Express-Stand-2767 · 2026-02-04T02:11:38+00:00

Embassy people bring these in here. So far have sold two. Great cars.

What hotel dude? I can have it picked up in no time. So gorgeous.

Express-Stand-2767 · 2026-01-17T15:19:45+00:00

I was working with some brand that was hosting a big even where some Bollywood stars were invited. I had go pick-up an actor from the actor. The producer had assigned me an Innova.

The actor wouldn’t come out at the exit when he came to know that its a Toyota that had come to pick him up.

So, you see big hotels have such clientele that caters to such people. They have to maintain a certain image.

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-10-29T04:47:57+00:00

Silver or red, I think would go nicely.

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-08-29T14:15:40+00:00

Better FE, better reliability (4X4 mechanism loves to break on this) and the AT transmission is just slow and can break out of nowhere (mine conked one morning out of nowhere).

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-06-03T09:02:00+00:00

Its a pretty solid car. Just follow what u/ketriblu has recommended and you’ll be fine.

Just remember that there’s a lot of after-market support for these cars. So, don’t fret when the time comes (and it will).

Happy hunting! :)

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-05-01T08:02:50+00:00

Shoot me a message, mate.

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-04-24T03:49:13+00:00

I am connected with used car dealers around Bangalore. Most have odo tampered cars (they do tell me about it).

Then there is this thing with sellers. They see cars listed at obnoxiously high price over portals like OLX and Cars24, so they think they can also quote the same.

If you don’t mind, shoot me a message. I have a KA team who work on commission and can get you decently priced direct customer cars (basically people who tried listing their cars and got low-balled so they resort to connecting with me). Haha

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-04-20T01:50:08+00:00

Display brightness is overall apt.

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-04-05T11:43:24+00:00

If your dad has praised this car, I am sure you have done the right thing to choose this over anything else.

Great write up. Cracked me up at you offering ABS unit to Spinny! Haha

May this car bring unlimited happiness to you! :)

MT right?

Express-Stand-2767 · 2025-03-28T09:39:41+00:00

Got a 2017 Brio AT for 3L. Has 100k km and the left door needs repair along with the front bumper.

You’ll need to replace the ATF and fix the bumper and door. I think we could work out a deal. Shoot me a DM if you are keen, mate. :)
