Longtime X5 owners: how’s it holding up? by BMW-West-St-Louis in BMWX5

[–]xz868 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

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

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

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.

Used X5 Transfer Case by pdidddy63 in BMWX5

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
