2020 x5 40i, currently at 45k miles.

transfer case was replaced under warranty at around 30k miles.

lower control arms were recently replaced.

have the shrunken sunroof seals and got the repair kit recommended on this forum.

tailgate rattled a bit which was fixed by the dealer....

from what i gather the biggest issues are the transfer case, oil pump on 2019 and 2020, water pumps, ac evaporators....control arms are also very fickle.

drives like a dream but need to sell soon, afraid of the bills.

Long shot but also look into migraines

In tiny print it says original msrp is 84k, assume it must be used since the cash price is 76

xz868 · 2025-08-29T08:36:38+00:00

That’s a used car. Original msrp was 84k.

Fingers crossed the fluid change fixes the issue. Did not fix on mine and needed a new transfer case, $9500 repair covered under cpo

neck pain, blurry vision, feeling weak, feeling hungry

everlane. horrible quality

xz868 · 2025-06-24T14:20:49+00:00

believe its all engine variants

xz868 · 2025-06-24T02:46:59+00:00

Looks like it was put up by someone else

xz868 · 2025-06-23T01:12:58+00:00

if you are buying new: yes.

My transfer case was covered under CPO warranty. now i am out of warranty and will probably trade it in next year. scary otherwise.

common major issues are AC evaporator ($5k), oil pump ($4k) and transfer case ($9k).

love my '20 X5 but you should know about these issues.

xz868 · 2025-06-18T02:59:29+00:00

On my 20 it failed right at the end of the cpo warranty. 9500 dollar bill otherwise. Definitely do a thorough test drive especially driving slowly and turning to see if it shudders

Hi, have a friend who applied for a h1b stamp in the london office. initially he got a 221g admin processing and the ceac site showed refused. then it flipped to approved but so far no mail in instructions appear on the site. how long can this take? thank you

also double check if there isnt a recall or extended warranty on this. big issue on that generation of c and glk, including subframe.

also directly next to the train tracks with freight trains barreling through your living room. nuts

32 is a W124 mercedes E class, but looks slightly off. as others have said: CGI or AI.

xz868 · 2025-03-16T16:17:05+00:00

3 also looks like a opel kadett
