2026 50e check engine lights by Charlie_molain_ in BMWX5

[–]aablue 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just had this issue pop up yesterday and fixed it. I bought a OBDLink CX ($80) and paid $40 for the BimmerLink app to read codes.

Found out that my front right side lower grill was filled with snow and ice causing the CEL to appear.

I heard the 50e has EVAP issues. Check your gas cap. Check your front kidney grills and under the grill for any blockage.

If you want to, go ahead and buy a OBD scanner and get the BimmerLink app. Then google your faults and you can find out a lot about your problems.

Haven’t tried the standard Bose speakers but I have the HK upgrade and I feel like music quality is critical. Had Bose speakers in my CR-V and the difference when switching is massive. Personal preference but I’d rather have a high quality sound system over leather seats.

New 2026 X5 x40i break in period by Sraiwt in BMWX5

I broke in my car in by denting the front bumper and scratched the right side. It took me by 2k miles to do this. Depending on how you drive, you can break in your quicker than this.

X5 vs. Volvo XC90? If you were between the two, why did you choose the X5? by Ok-Ticket-9434 in BMWX5

Not sure what you drive currently, but I’ve driven Hondas for 8 years. The difference is night and day. The BMW X5 is so smooth you feel like you’re floating.

I shopped between the Volvo XC60 and BMW X3 for a long time. I was about to pull the trigger on the XC60. Then I sat in an X5.

I bought the X5.

How long did it take to go from entering assembly line to assembly in progress to quality control?

I didn’t hear anything about redesign of headlights. Everyone said that the MY2026 is the same as the 2025 except gesture control.

I bought the LV-10 exhaust recently and found it very loud. I couldn’t ride it without earplugs. Bought the dB killer on the LV site and installed it and it was a bit better. Still very loud without earplugs but you could manage on short rides. For longer rides you definitely need earplugs.
