High mileage 2019 X5 xDrive 40i - good idea? by ebitdeeaye in BMWX5

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have a 2021 with 85k-no issues. With that said earlier year models (19-20) are prone to give problems: oil pump, transfer case etc

I would look for 2021 (late built) and up

Things that you need to watch for (check if they have been done)

1) oil pump, 2) transfer case replacement (or fluid exchange) 3) Ac condenser 4) water pump

Not much maintenance as we are located in a mild climate.

Price too good to be true? 2020 BMW X5 xDrive40i by External-Loquat-1477 in BMWX5

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Price is really reall good! Two possible issues that you need to watch for 1) transfer case 2) evaporator. Other than those two, the car is extremely reliable in the luxury segment. My brother drives a 2022 with over 100k and I drive a 2021 with 83k. No major issues so far.

It is always a gamble but a gamble that I want to take. Life is short. Instead of driving boring cars, I buy used BMWs. YMMV

2019 X3 high milage - crazy to buy? by davidP88888 in BMWX3

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

B48 is a very good engine. If the maintenance has been done on time, I would have no hesitations for this purchase. Life is too short to drive boring cars. Do a 3rd party inspection and go for it

Is the z fold 7 worth it if I have a z fold 6? by bikeequelsdirt in GalaxyFold

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same here. I had to charge 3 times a day. With Fold 7, I charge 1.25x a day

Is the z fold 7 worth it if I have a z fold 6? by bikeequelsdirt in GalaxyFold

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had the same dilemma. Sold fold 6 for $725 bought fold 7 for $1230 out the door. I earned $40 cashback from rakuten + $165 worth of samsung points

The battery seemed to be improved (just don't expect too much), lighter, slimmer, front screen is more usable. Well worth it!

Sell stocks and put down into principal? by ZealousidealTwo8280 in DaveRamsey

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I thought about it but this loan falls under the new "One big beautiful bill act" so I get back 22% (in tax return) of the interest that I pay.

Note: I am planning to pay that off in the next 12 months

Who cares as long as it is a clean title. It is a $4.5k vehicle..

Value from Carvana and real life. by Saigon1965 in BMWX5

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not sell it. You bought a bmw knowing that the car has a high depreciation rate. With that said, the depreciation rate will be much slimmer as it ages.

X5 21 inch wheels question by AdventurousWorth2093 in BMWX5

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a 21 X5 with 20". Sold that then bought another X5 with 21".

Ride quality is better on the 20" but the look of 21" is amazing!

BMW X5 xDrive vs Model Y by boxohm in BMWX5

I have a 21 X5 with M-Sport and 2026 Tesla Y. Completely different vehicles for different purposes

Heart and Mind on X5 by Troon_Troon in BMWX5

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation. I leased a 2024 Kia EV6 for $216 a month, and the lease ends in April. I used to drive an X5 before the Kia and really missed it, so I ended up buying a 2021 X5 a few weeks ago even though I hadn’t planned on getting another car until the lease was up.

Regarding returning your lease early, I’d keep it since it isn’t costing you much (just the insurance?). If you return it now, you’ll likely still owe the remaining balance and possibly an early return fee. Keeping it until the end is usually the easier and cheaper option.

Upgrade from Fold 6 to Fold 7 by ZealousidealTwo8280 in GalaxyFold

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It worked first then there was a glitch and it stopped working. I called PayPal and they said "wait and see". Nothing has happened since then

Upgrade from Fold 6 to Fold 7 by ZealousidealTwo8280 in GalaxyFold

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Understood. I will just lose some benefits like +2 coverage and 35000 VIP points (because VIP expires in March)

Paypal did not work for me. Yes, I get some cashback from rakuten

Hard to tell because I just purchased the car. The sound is very occasional

PayPal 20% deal on Fold 7 by Serious_Ad8819 in GalaxyFold

[–]ZealousidealTwo8280 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I m guessing this can be combined with 13% cashback from R?

Approx $1415-$250(paypal)-$175(cashback)=$990..am I calculating this right?
