BMW X5 E70 year release. Updated BMW X5 Crossover (E70)
Sales market: Russia.
BMW X5 E70 is the second generation of the Luxury Crossover X5, which came to replace E53 in November 2006. The E70 is equipped with a large set of high-tech new products, including the BMW IDRIVE system (serial), as well as for the first time in the history of BMW - the third number of seats (optional), which increases capacity up to 7 people. A modern security system includes a unique design of the rear section, which ensures the safety of passengers of the third row in the event of a blow from behind. Outstanding in its characteristics sports version X5 M went on sale in the fall of 2009. This car, standing in a mansion in his model row, received the same power plant as X6 M - V8 turbo engine with a maximum power of 555 hp. and torque 680 nm. In addition, for the best handover, the car is equipped with a M Dynamic Performance Control system. In addition, it is worth noting that the BMW X5 is not just a luxurious and richly equipped car, but also practical. The volume of the luggage compartment in the model with two rows of seats is an impressive 620 liters. With a folded rear row, a total of 1750 liters of space is released.
The luxury affiliation X5 is still confirmed by the advent of the first generation in 1999, confirmed by a high level of equipment, which became even higher with the advent of the second generation of the model, and in terms of quality and the cost of the finish rose to the BMW 7 Series level. Initial equipment involves the presence of the following functions: glass and side mirrors, heated side mirrors and washer nozzles, adjustable column, start with buttons, multi-tissue, tissue upholstery, climate control, color multifunction display, CD player, standard set of parking sensors in front and Rear. In more expensive equipment, bixenon headlamps, light and rain sensors, steering wheel heating, rear seat heating, leather interior, panoramic roof, CD- or DVD changer, entertainment system for passengers, Bluetooth communication system, etc. Successfully solved the problem of placement of small items - all sorts of pockets, shelves, drawers, the cup holders are perfectly dispersed throughout the cabin. In 2011, cosmetic restyling X5 was held. The front bumper, air intakes were modified.
For X5, a wide range of motors is characteristic. For models to restyling 2011, the Russian buyer proposed two variants of gasoline power units (modifications 30i, 272 hp and 48i, 355 hp) and two diesel (30D, 231 hp and 35d, 286 hp .). After restyling, atmospheric gasoline engines were replaced with turbocharged (35i and 50i), with a capacity of 306 and 407 hp. respectively. In addition, the capacity of the basic diesel modification of up to 245 hp was raised, and instead of the version 30D, two new ones were added - 40D (306 hp) and M50D (381 hp). The latter possesses outstanding dynamics - overclocking up to 100 km / h in 5.4 seconds. This, of course, is less than that of X5 50i, but only 0.1 seconds, which, of course, cannot but impress. Yes, and the torque of this modification of the three-liter turbodiesel with a direct injection causes respect - 740 nm in a wide range of revolutions (2000-3000 rpm).
Speaking about BMW X5, actually, as the entire line X, it is impossible not to mention the XDrive full drive system. With normal movement, the torque is divided by the axes in the ratio of 40:60, but depending on the road conditions, the torque is redistributed between the multi-disc clutch between the axes ranging from 0 to 100%. With the arrival of a new generation X5, the system has undergone a number of changes, respectively, with an increasing value of electronics, where the standard is to ensure the interaction with the system of dynamic coursework resistance. The suspension can be equipped with "Dynamic Drive" options (adjustable stabilizer rigidity) and "Active Steering" (active steering), as well as rear pneumatic elements and adjustable stiffness of shock absorbers.
In the Safety Plan, the BMW X5 refers to the number of those cars that can be considered the standard, as evidenced by numerous safety ratings. The equipment includes 6 airbags, including front, side and disclosed protection curtains, ISOFIX fastening, belts with pretensioners. In addition, regular equipment includes anti-lock System (ABS), brake force distribution system (EBD), auxiliary braking system (BAS), a relief system from a mountain (DAC), a tire pressure control system. From the options are available assistance assistance assistance, adaptive headlights and alar-light management system.
You should not expect from X5 outstanding off-road characteristics, after all, this crossover is not designed for extreme, but for a quick and comfortable ride. Excellent suspension and handling, powerful engines, luxury equipment - here is its main trumps. With the maintenance of the second generation of the BMW X5 in the used machine segment, these cars are becoming more accessible, while maintaining a sufficient degree of gloscus to fit the optimal criteria between price and quality. The wide motor line makes the choice even more interesting.
Read completelyBMW X5 M has a special task - to remain a practical car and at the same time fully comply with the sports concept. Engineers tried to do everything possible to achieve the goal. As a result, it turned out a model for those who prefer to actively live and relax.
It is worth noting that the exterior and interior of the BMW X5 M are in German strict, but it is impossible not to notice the elements that emphasize the dynamic nature of the car. Here the harmony of sophistication and sportiness is ruled.
I will depart from the usual and start an overview of appearance not from the front side, but with the back. After all, one of the most interesting details is a pair of dual exhaust pipes, they are an individual "signature" in M-versions of BMW. Therefore, the look immediately falls here.
On the back of the BMW X5M are familiar angular headlights and the straight lines are generally dominated. Designers generally tried to highlight the body with various ways. Therefore, when viewed by the front of the BMW H5M, you notice how the streamlined hood flows into a bumper containing several aggressive traits. For wheels, 20-inch discs made of light alloy. 5 doors and a solid trunk (up to 1750 liters) successfully fit into the overall picture and do not reduce the energy outgoing from the machine. A pleasant bonus serves a panoramic roof, because BMW X5 M is suitable for travel, it means that it will be possible to see a lot of colorful species.
In the cabin of the BMW X5 M car, everything is also performed taking into account the task. It is filled with atmosphere of courage, rigor, but at the same time elegance. There is a contrast of light and dark tones. This is a reflection of the essence of the model. Adjustable automatically seats and multifunctional steering wheel in the Merino leather, they are the embodiment of comfort and benefit due to the full accounting of the Ergonomics principles. The display (6.5 inches) with white backlight and the instrument panel with the frame in color will help the driver to control the expense, be aware of everything. Heated seats, climate control into two zones, cruise control with the ability to use brakes, modern audio system (HIFI, 12 speakers, 230 W. amplifier) \u200b\u200band other options without which this class of cars is not available, naturally here are present in excellent performance.
Specifications BMW X5 M.
If the design can only hint on the nature of the car, the engine serves as the most essential proof. X5 M BMW is considered to be a sports crossover, because it is equipped with a V8 with 555 hp Other digits confirming power are an opportunity to work by 6000 rpm. and 408 kW. Double engine turbochardv (Twin Scroll Twin Turbo), in stock the direct fuel injection. Technical indicators have a real embodiment: the maximum speed is equal to 250km / h, and 100 km / h machine will reach only in just 4.7 sec. If we consider that the BMW X5M weight is 2380 kg, then the numbers are very impressive.
The gearbox is installed automatic. It contains 6 steps and, according to the nature of the settings, corresponds to the sports configuration M, that is, instantly reacts to the need to change the speed and situation on the road. In BMW X5M even tires (type Runflat) are ready for difficulties. If the pressure falls in them, the possibility of movement will still be preserved.
In a car, of course, four-wheel drive. It is a special design that allows you to optimally distribute traction between axes and wheels (BMW XDrive). Thus, the accuracy of the entry in turns is really increasing, stability. This rarely requires interference from the dynamic stabilization system (DSC). In addition to everything in the steering, the SERVOTRONIOL function is installed. With it, it is taking into account the speed of movement, and, depending on the data obtained, the sensitivity of the steering wheel changes with respect to the driver's efforts. Thus, effective control is guaranteed in a completely different range of speeds. Parking, reverse, riding on the highway - any conditions are taken into account by the computer. Among other things, this option is embodied in two versions: for conventional driving and for sports. In the second case, dynamism increases significantly, the impact of the steering wheel will have to be made more.
The BMW X5M version complies with ecology and security standards. Advanced Technologies (BMW EfficientDynamics) of the German company make it possible to approach the EURO-5 standard. CO emissions are 0.325 g / km. As for the protection of the driver and passengers in extreme cases, it provides amplifiers in the doors and a set of airbags. The car itself is equipped with a BMW Professional satellite system, which provides anti-theft functions. Another option that will help to avoid unpleasant situations, serves the parking alarms, which is triggered if the distance to another object is completely small. In addition, the salon is additionally insulated for countries with a rigid climate. And the conditions in Russia are soft exactly call.
The price of BMW X5 M in 2012 is about 5 million 200 thousand rubles. This price includes all the listed features of BMW X5 M and a number of others.
You can feel free to say that this modification further glorifies the BMW X5 model. In the M-version you can feel racing. Of course, it is necessary for its manifestation so that the road itself was perfect, otherwise the car thoroughly "tells" the driver of all the shortcomings of the canvas.
If dynamism does not like it, the mass of the latest intelligent systems will help maintain calm management. Plus, it is nice to have a fairly large car, but not to disturb the strict environmental norms, such as Euro 5.
Is it possible to make a better car recognized by many for the standard in its segment? Experts "Bayerische Motoren Werke" gave a completely unambiguous answer to this question - of course, yes! And this answer was the restyled BMW X5 "E70", spectacularly debut at the International Geneva Motor Show in the spring of 2010.
The X5 E70 model is positioned as Sports Activity Vehicle (SAV) and embodies almost all the latest technological innovations developed by Bavarian designers. More is more comfortable, safer, environmentally loyal - the manufacturer remains faithful and fixes the leading position among competitors in the segment of the "Premium" crossover segment. By the way, the production of the updated "E70", everything is the same, leading in Spartanberg (USA, South Carolina).
BMW EfficientDynamics in actionor, what is hiding under the hood of the updated X5?
The largest changes touched the line of engines. Those, if we talk about the technical characteristics of the BMW X5 2010-2013, then a 3-liter turbochargent six (N55) with a capacity of 306 liters came to replace the inline 6-cylinder aggregate. Forces (225 kW) and max torque of 400 nm (at 1200-5000 rpm), which allows the basic BMW X5 XDrive35i to accelerate to "hundreds" for 6.8 s. And to develop max speed of 235 km / h, while the average fuel consumption will be 10.1 liters. per 100 km. Achieve such results allows the use of BMW TWIN POWER TURBO technology, as well as direct injection and valvetronic systems.
In the top version of X5 XDrive50i, 4.8-liter atmospheric V8 lost the 4,4-liter V8 TwinPowerTurbo area, which has a direct injection system (High Precision Injection) and allows you to develop a power of 408 liters. Forces (300 kW), as well as max torque in 600 nm (at 1750 - 4500 rpm). This power unit allows you to develop a MAX speed of 250 km / h, and the figure of 100 km / h appears on the speedometer in just 5.5 s. From the moment of start.
As for diesel versions, XDrive40d is equipped with a 6-cylinder TWINPOWER TURBO engine with direct fuel injection (COMMON-Rail system), with a capacity of 306 liters. Forces, Max torque of 600 nm (at1500 rpm). The time required to achieve a speed of 100 km / h is 6.6 s. Extremely low levels of CO2 emissions and high running characteristics are provided by the presence of a double turbocharger VARIABLE TWIN TURBO. Although, perhaps, the most effective can be considered a version of X5 XDrive30d, which establishes a diesel unit with a capacity of 245 liters. Forces (180 kW) with an average of 7.4 liters fuel consumption per 100 km.
Both gasoline and diesel engines, installed on the updated E70 fully comply with the high standards of Euro-5 toxicity. The maximum comfort, high efficiency and excellent gear shift dynamics provides 8-step steptronic automatic transmission (previously the gearbox was 6-step), which constitutes an excellent pair of upgraded engine line.
Sports elegance plus harmonious proportions. Externally, the restyling model has changed not so much. Thanks to an updated radiator lattice, new bumpers and "grilled" air intakes, the new "X-fifth" visually reminds its own M-version - it has become more dynamic and more aggressive, while maintaining all its elegance. The next item in the list of exterior changes is a new color solution (there has appeared a popular brown tint, the number of items in the front and rear apron area painted in the body color) and the new design of alloy wheels are increased. The changes affected the BMW X5 2010-2013 optics, it received a newly decorated L-shaped rear lights, glowing in two LED strips. And thanks to the dual pharmaceans of daylight, harmoniously combined with led rings with optional xenon lamps, the figure of the model has become even more spectacular and luxurious.
Luxury interior. The Style Salon of the Updated BMW X5 is very close to the interior of prestigious 5-series sedans - also exquisited and respectable. The atmosphere of the "luxury" of the class is felt literally in everything. Amuses ample transformation capabilities, rich serial equipment, high-quality materials. Review due to high landing, optimal. Additionally, the third row of seats can be installed, which allows you to quickly confortably to seven people. Another important, according to the developers, the addition - cup holders (absent on the dorestayling version).
The transformable trunk is able to accommodate from 620 liters. up to 1750 liters. The BMW CH5 serial set includes a new generation IDRIVE system that provides intuitive and comfortable management of the entire complex of serial and optional functions of the audio system, as well as telecommunication systems and navigation. Optionally, it is possible to install a 8.8-inch display of the IDRIVE system, 4 zone climates-control, DVD Entertainment system, panoramic glass roof, ventilated front chairs and heating the steering wheel.
Principal novelties and driver assistance. Among the fundamental innovations in the equipment of the new E70, you can call the active steering "Activ Steering" used earlier on the coupe and sedans, allowing you to provide higher maneuverability and handling. In addition, for the first time in this class, a combining all active suspension elements (changing the rigidity of active shock absorbers and electronically controlled transverse stability stabilizers) The "AdaptiveDrive" system is appeared. Receiving information from numerous sensors, the computer evaluates the situation and provides a stable position of the body over the expensive, changing the necessary characteristics. Thus, rolls in the implementation of turns are practically excluded.
We can only say about the services that provide security and comfort, and the driver's help systems can only be said - their diversity is simply unique. The updated model is equipped with Side View systems and markup tracking, indicator of speed limit, rear view chamber and Surround View system (Circular Review), PDC (Parking Distance Control System), Adaptive Cross Switching, Middle / Far Distance Switching System Light, projection display.
As always, the Bavarian producer remained at the height and level of security. So the serial setting of the crossover includes the indicators of the tires, secure RUNFLAT tires and adaptive stop signals.
The car is also equipped with an ISOFIX fasteners intended for the installation of children's seats (back of the cabin), active head restraints (front seats), 3-point automatic safety belts with tension force regulators, side and front pillows, including side airbags for head protection.
Well, in conclusionabout prices for the BMW X5 in 2012. It will also be available x5 in the XDrive35i completation of which is just less than 3 million rubles (2919 thousand). Diesel XDrive30D and XDrive40D can be bought at a price of ~ 3 million rubles and ~ 3.3 million rubles, respectively. Well, the XDRive50i 2012 is offered at a price of ~ 3 million 720 thousand rubles.
The car systematically developed the success of the first generation of the model in the body of E53: it became more comfortable, universal and, finally, just more beautiful. It did not affect the experiments of Chris Bangla, she was given excellent passenger habits, they taught it to save fuel, and the dynamics raised to the level of the best sports cars. In general, not a car, but a dream. And at the same time and housewives, and macho. It would be possible to say that this is almost the best car among used, if not a whole bunch of nuances, mainly related to the cost of operation.
Dorestayl
The design, at first glance, remained the same as the predecessor. All the same motors under the hood, the same connected four-wheel drive, like Restyling E53, the same layout and approximately the same power from the most running motors.
The main changes affected the body and the cabin. The car has become a little more, received an almost full-fledged third of the seats and an updated design. From the technical point of view, the car did not carry anything new to restyling, when new turbo engines appeared, but the car managed work well. Even the first x5 was controlled as the best cars, and the second X5 surpassed it.

The car was taught to steering as well as the fifth series of BMW, even a higher center of gravity and mass were not a hindrance. Rolls, though, slightly more, and the suspension is harsh even in the most comfortable mode. But the off-road qualities of the family of the family at the same time were practically lost: the road clearance though left at 222 mm, but with such a number of aerodynamic elements on the bottom to climb a profile off-road - self-disstaining. Despite the rigid blocking of the front axle drive clutch, the car is getting jams quickly, because 18-19-inch rubber is frankly asphalt, on the ground instantly "closed".

However, most of all the owners of such machines are the salon, where not only exemplary comfort and quality of assembly, but also a new multimedia system with a branded "IDRIVE" and deep integration into a new mechatronic chassis of the car. And the versatility of such a car may well argue with minivans - if desired, a large salon allows you to transport a couple of cargo cubic meters or seven people; or "Paul Cuba" and five people with all possible comfort, speed and prestige. No wonder, many preferred a new X5 instead of the seventh BMW series.
Restayl
The 2010 update brought new trends in the form of turbo engines, and since 2011, the new eight-speed automatic transmission began with gasoline engines. The three-liter motor with a turbine on the dynamics almost caught up with dorestayline options with a V8 of 4.8 liters, and the turbocharged V8 allowed the bar for 6 seconds to "hundreds" for the "normal" xDrive50i and 5 seconds for x5m. Even more elasticity of new engines has increased, which means the dynamics in intermediate modes.

Problems
In the fifth year of life, the holders of the first cars were faced with an unpleasant feature: the highest quality of new cars in this age turned on high service costs and the failures of the set of nodes, large and not very. Yes, and the "Mased" of the atmospheric motors of the BMW series N in most cases manifests itself on the third and fifth year of life.
Most of the owners of the X5 E70 in such trifles did not be upset, simply replacing the car to restyling, with new turbosways. Problems are the second-third owner of such a car, and during the warranty period the number of failures is amazingly little for such a complex design.
Dealers, of course, resisted to the latter in clearly non-warranty cases. The high oil consumption was managed to "explain", and the mechanics of the automatic transmission are successfully treated with an update on the gearbox, because the adaptability of the new series of ZF boxes is the highest. If you buy such a machine of the last years of release, then you can safely skip almost all the text below by, except that the section about the motors and transmissions will be useful for you. The first time X5 E70 really breaks infrequently.
The same one who seriously thinks about buying the most inexpensive copies of the initial years, I would recommend to treat the story at all as another "ruined".
Body and Salon
The magnificent outward body is designed hard and expensive. Expensive is not only about painting and materials used, but also the price of components and works. Many launched decorative elements, very high quality of panel fittings, beautiful design moves like front wings passing into a bumper strongly increase the cost of any repair with any contacts of the machine with the surrounding coarse reality.
In the photo: BMW X5 XDrive35D "10 Year Edition" (E70) "2009 From the bottom of the car a bunch of plastic elements that are perfectly broken while trying to cut down on the off-road and storming borders. Corrosion can not be sought, unlike competitors from Mercedes, the Bavarians are fine at that age.
Even broken specimens of explicit instructions on poor-quality body repair in the form of paint blooms will not have, bumper and plastic wings. Surprisingly, even taking into account the parking sensors in a circle, there are enough battered cars - a family car with such a chassis really provokes inept drivers, and even a sense of false security in a high car affects.

Of the serious age troubles, it is possible to note that the weak plums of the windshield can be noted, and the right to clean is difficult, and after all the electronic control units are located above it. You can also note the way out of water on the engine from above due to the capped hood seals, the rear door lock knock and the high chances of the refusal of its electric drive and the inclination of the hatch drain to the climb. Also losing tightness rear lights - they are inserted into the opening of the door, and in the age cars they lose tightness, silvery inserts are oxidized inside, and the electronic filling fails. In the risk zone and the hood cable - in the absence of lubricant and jamming mechanisms, they are rhat. With passive safety, everything is very good, the car really allows to survive passengers in the most serious accidents. The cost of restoration, however, will be prohibitive - only the number of firing airbags is more than a dozen, and about the replacement of panels, of course, no one took care. After the accident, such a car should not be taken, there are practically no chances for successful recovery - new parts are very expensive, and used rare and are also worth a lot.
Salon and his equipment over the years reminded themselves more and more. A lot of complaints on the peeling wooden and carbon inserts of the panels, this is a fairly frequent problem for dorestayline machines. Soft door handles - consumage, if a woman rides a woman with a manicure. But the seats and the steering wheel usually hold for a long time, except that the electric drives are abandoned.

On the smokers, most likely tapping the driver's glass - it is recommended to replace the rollers and "hang out" the salon. And it is also worth checking the humidity of the floor carpet on the left side. If the pressure of the rear washer water is weakened, and the carpet is wet, then the chances cracked the water supply hose to the rear glass. It is plastic corrugated, and passes along with wiring harness into the back of the car. It is usually torn in the area of \u200b\u200bthe driver's feet or behind the rear doors, but the water from the washer not only waters carpets, but also fills the contacts of electricians. If it accumulates in the trunk or in the cabin - wait for trouble in the near future.

FRM block that controls all the lighting of the machine often fails in itself. For example, after turning off the power, it can simply "do not start." Sometimes the firmware helps, sometimes - easy repair. Often you have to change it to a new one.
The fan of the climatic system is also far from eternal, after five years of operation can refuse. The mirrors with a photochrom swell swell, and in the outer mirrors, the TopView system cameras: they lose hermeticity, the image becomes clouded first, and if you do not reanimate the camera, it will soon refuse at all due to the oxidation of the matrix contacts. The cabin challenges include the refusal of windshield janitors - its motor and the gearbox are frankly fascinated, gears often cuts.

Multimedia system failures - a separate conversation: IDRIVE updates for BMW owners have long become a special sport. Here it is necessary or yourself to be aware of updates and changes, or have a proven wizard. How to update navigation or "mining" FSC codes - all this is on the profile forums of the model.
Electrician and electronics
The failures of this part on age-related machines are added. In addition to the "salon" problems of electronics already described, you can expect the "mechatronic" machine stuffing. Many functions in new BMW are implemented at the expense of the appearance of electronic components where they do not expect to see - in particular, in the chassis and steering control.
Adjustable stabilizers of transverse stability, "smart" chassis pneumatics, active steering, electromotive drive of the front axle, adaptive head lighting - all these components are in their composition gearboxes, electric motors, electroclap ... and all this wear out.

Strongly suffer from our salt winter, the components of the wiring under the body and in the bumpers, the posting of parking sensors (however, it breaks often in intra-alone harness), suspension sensors, adaptive lighting and brakes. The rolling of K-CAN tires due to the failures of one of the components on it are often, especially different in this parking sensors.
Meets and "Kolkhozing". There are often proposals for replacing the connectors of the Parktronic sensors for components from engines ... ZMZ. Even with the fact that the wiring here is high-quality, not, purely resource problems. Since everything is rare, but the older the car, the more blocks will need either in repair, or in replacement, and here much depends on the qualification of the master and wishes of the owner.
Often, the method of repairing the node is worked out, as in the case of the replacement of plastic gears of dispensing drive, but mostly components are replaced with new ones. Podcast wiring and gasoline engines are in the risk area, for there is a very high temperature. Especially not lucky with gasoline supervised V 8 of the N 63 series - they have exhaust pipes in the back of the motor, heating the and without that heated engine shield harnesses.
Electroprompa and electrosters of the cooling system also have a finite resource, but they appeared only after restyling, and problems with them are rarely arising. But there are already no failures, which means that the resource of these nodes is also limited. On average, the problems arise not so often, but the value of the decision often makes you think about the sense of purchase a b / y of the car in general.
Brakes, Pendants and Steering
Brakes on x5 are beautiful from all points of view. They work well and have a completely sufficient resource. The disks are enough for a couple of replacement pads, and the pads themselves usually go no less than 30-40 thousand kilometers. If you put non-original components, the ratio is broken. There are no serious problems with corrosion pipes, nor with blocks ABS has not been noted. An opening and lapture of wiring to the ABS sensors and the level / tilt sensors are found regularly, but is relatively easy and cheaply cleaned.
The suspension is strong enough, if you do not fly into the pits and do not bend discs. Most of the trouble takes place on the "department" of mechatronics. The standard suspension without electronics on the E70 is almost never found, most of the machines are equipped with an adaptive suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers and pneumatic skipping on the rear axle. Much less often can be found cars on sports suspension without electronics. You can not be afraid of problems with levers and silent blocks, the components are strong and inexpensive. The resource of the levers in the front is for a hundred thousand around the city, behind - approximately the same, and half of the levers have standardly replaceable silent blocks and hinges.

Pneumatics with electronics make a sports car from a two-tone car, but the cost of service increases several times, because the electronic components of the suspension are not different in a special resource, and the price is offshore. As a result - a lot of half-sized solutions and frequent "collectozing" with the installation of another type of suspension on one of the axes.
Steering can meet two types. The usual rail is simple and reliable, without special delights, with an adjustable spool. After several years of operation, it rarely flows, the electronics on it fails to be completely rare.
Where the problems of adaptive management are expensive. And they happen somewhat more often. Failure for easy parking and a very "sharp" steering wheel will be the high price of the rack itself, the failures of its servo and sensor failures. Most of the failures are eliminated purely software, but sometimes brings diagnostics, so you have to change several nodes to eliminate the cause of trouble. The latest updates of the control unit and high-quality service for servicing any, smaller, machine faults with such a steering type are strongly recommended.
Transmission
Oddly enough, but special troubles from this side can not be expected. More precisely, the costs are quite programmed. Guaranteed regularly fail the Motor Connection Motor and ZF 6HP Box. The resource of cardan shafts is great, but they require as regular maintenance. Is that a surprise in the form of a rear gentler failure can knock out the soil from under the feet of the owner, it usually happens on machines with weak diesel engines, especially after chip tuning, but also with gasoline supervisory sixs can also occur. The remaining versions have a reinforced gearbox, which more corresponds to the potential of the motor.
Drives are weak, quite frequent complaints about the lack of lubricants and arising because of this problem - overheating and knocks, so before buying it is worth checking the condition of the hinges not only on the anticon, but also visually, with its removal.
I have already written in the review of ZF 6HP 26 / 6HP 28 - 100-150 thousand kilometers it comes out. But with further incomprehensible. If the oil was often changed, did not "ignore", on time was replaced by the GDT lining, it can also go through, there are copies with mileage for 250 thousand km in some hands and without signs of ambulance. But more often will need a serious bulkhead, replacement of the sleeves, repairing mechatronics ...
If there are twitching during acceleration, and the transmission errors do not burn, then, most likely, when you have a blocking of GDT, but the box is clean. And if twitching when switching, it is likely that the box will go to the "Capital" immediately. Cause or in wear, or in the overwhelmed level of oil due to the trays of the pallet, the seals of the electrical industry or the pump. In any case, the box will wear the sleeves and dirt in the hydraulicone, for a long time it will not live even after topping the oil. The increase in the cooling of the automatic transmission can extend its life as a frequent oil change, once every 30-40 thousand kilometers. But the age box after the "first call" it may not help.
Newer eight-adjusted automatic transmission is still not bad, in any case they are less common in repair. But when runs, it is already up to one hundred thousand kilometers. There are copies with full wear of frictional and scored mechanical mechanicalon. And repair workshops are compiled on the maximum lightweight automatic transmission, which can be deformed during disassembly.
Motors
The total feature of all new BMW motors families is the widespread use of plastic in responsible nodes, high sensitivity to overheating and extremely stressful thermal shoes. And yet - complex management systems and very large sensitivity to the quality of sensors and the operation of the electoral motor.
Do not be surprised if you regularly persuade on the replacement of the expansion tank cover, the oil filter cover, temperature and MAF sensors, lambda and the like trivia. Sometimes a wine resource, sometimes it is a reinsurance, but in any case there will be a lot of trouble with the car Highitek, especially if you do not delve into the subtleties of service, do not wash the radiators and calculate only on the warranty and the loud name of the manufacturer.
About the motors of the old family N 62 and N 52 I have already written repeatedly in reviews, and. The three-liter six series of the N 52V30 series is quite good on a general background of the motor, but the high temperature of the thermostatting, large service intervals and insufficient quality of the "branded" oil contribute to the coke of the oil, which goes the piston rings on the second or third year of the machine. By five years, the engine with urban operation is formed a resistant oil appetite, to eliminate which it will have to go through or at least to use the cutting and pour only high-quality oil with a small replacement interval.

The owners know about the problem and often change the "native" oil with an interval of 7 thousand kilometers, which does not solve the problem radically, but reduces the chances of serious consequences. Many stood and colder thermostats and, that almost completely eliminates the chances of an increased oily appetite. However, the complexity of the engine design is high, it has enough problem nodes, from the unpleasant Valvetronic inlet and Vanos phasers to purely resource difficulties with chains of oil pump and sensitivity to oil viscosity. When the drive belts of additional units often breaks the cooling system nozzles, and the timing chains have a large scatter on the resource, from 120 to 250 thousand kilometers.
A larger engine, 4.8 is also an old familiar N62B48. One of the most successful options in his family nevertheless suffers from the same trouble as the motors N 52, with amendment that the cylinders are eight and the aggregate is stronger.
An additional feature is not the most successful Timing design with long calm instead of a roller in the center, which reduces the chain resources to hundreds of thousands of kilometers and makes it very sensitive to the operating temperature. Problems and their solutions are similar, many owners try to prevent "Mased" more frequent oil replacement, but simple measures usually do not help, it is necessary for comprehensive treatment with a decrease in operating temperature and using other oils.
On restyling, motors with immediate injection and turbocharging appeared. To the old problems of the Motors of the series N 52 and N 62 they added new ones. First of all, this complexity with nozzles, which inevitably arises from all engines. A lot of nozzles, old revisions were theoretically changed in the framework of the revitalized companies and under warranty, but this is not done far from all cars. Nozzles flow, refuse, will fail.
In the photo: Engine N52B30 The consequences - to choose from: from the hydraulic man when starting the machine to an uneven idle, losses of thrust and rogs of pistons. The revision of the nozzles must be checked when buying, otherwise it is inevitable excess costs, because the price of nozzles is from 25 thousand rubles, plus work. Especially hard to nozzles on Motors V 8 with their amazing layout.
Motors of the N55B30 series for machines with an index 35i have one turbine and an inlet system with Valvetronic, in contrast to N 54, which were not installed on E70. Additionally, this means that the motor has fewer childhood diseases, but also a special stock of strength for the forcing, it is also deprived.
In the photo: Engine N55 A slightly reduced working temperature relative to N 52 slightly improves the situation with the piston group initially, but there is an electric-ham in the cooling system, and simply replacing the thermostat to reduce the temperature can not do, it is necessary to interfere with the motor control. In addition, sometimes pump refuses, and it happens more often than problems with conventional drive pumps.

A relatively simple turbocharging system favorably distinguishes this motor from N 54, and the turbine resource with neat operation is quite acceptable, for 100-150 thousand kilometers. But with a chip-tuning and in the case of a poor state of the motor lubrication system, it decreases sharply, many stubbornly change the turbines each second, after 30-45 thousand kilometers, not noticing the essence of the problem. Most of the cars with these engines are still on the warranty, and "out" comes out little data on failures, but on the basis of available information it can be said that he delivers a lot of trouble, and the service must be complex and thorough.
Larger V 8 of the N63B44 series and their "M-option" S63B44 differ also in a curious scheme with the location of the turbines in the collapse of the cylinder block. This means a quick heating of catalysts and the convenience of access to turbines. And also - a huge number of problems associated with overheating turbines, engine wiring, cylinder caps, engine glands and gaskets, motor shield and everything connected with them.
In the photo: Engine N63B44 Plastic parts are literally scattered on machines aged from two or three years from high temperature. This is especially unpleasant for the details of the cooling system and wiring - the number of engine failures increases several times. No matter how surprisingly, the more forced "M-Motor" has fewer problems due to a smaller operating temperature. At least, at least an oil-challenge caps, after a year, oil is not beginning to pour oil into cylinders, and therefore "MACHINE" does not grow so rapidly, does not die and the catalyst does not overheat.
But in general, the high characteristics have to pay in the most literal sense of the word. Because of the hellish working conditions, the turbines themselves are not maintained, the control systems will fail, the oil supply hoses are covered, it does not withstand plastic intake manifolds.
Yes, and the notorious nozzles of direct injection are already eight, not six, and they work in more stringent conditions, and piezoceramics is sensitive to temperature. There are problems with two thin "cycling" chains in the drive, which are rushing and jumping easily and easily.
If briefly, then without serious intervention in the design, such a motor does not live happily and happily. There is even a decrease in the operating temperature helps weakly due to layout features. The oil thermostat does not cope at all with the oil temperature, and at the same time they do not hold the plastic parts of the oil system and the sealing of the tubes.
Otrada for owners X5 E70 are diesel engines, because at dorestayling models there was a very reliable diesel engine of the M57 series, which is deservedly considered one of their best motors in recent years. Although on machines with two turbines, there are frequencies of the oil from the supply tubes of turbines, and the resource of the timing chains above 160 thousand km is no longer guaranteed, although it may reach up to 250 thousand. The particulate filter can deliver hassle, it sometimes does not regenerate due to errors, short runs and no hearing of the motor, it is expensive and removed, too, not for a penny.
The bolts of the irrigation roller, despite the review of this node, are still sometimes clouded. Yes, and the rest are typically available, but are not so often found.
But the motor has a stable resource of the piston group, does not suffer from "Mased", it does not have problems with "Velvedron" and "Venosa", not coking oil. It pulls it perfectly and even withstands a serious chip tuning, although many projects should use EGT sensors - they clearly exceed the reasonable temperature in the combustion chamber, which leads to a decrease in the motor resource.
Power scatter in various versions - from 235 to 286 liters. from. - "Magic" figures from the Bavarians. Machines with two turbines, naturally, is much more complicated in service, but the final cost of operation against the background of gasoline fellow, it will be small, especially if the diesel fuel is a good and regularly change fuel filters.
More "Fresh" Motors of the N 57 series on restyling are completely new, but also quite strong. And even the piezoquormsinki here are distinguished by a calm character. Forcing stock even higher. Due to the novelty, the motors of special hassle are not delivered, and, most likely, they will not differ much from M 57 in operation.
What to choose?
Unlike the first x5 in the body of E53, the "living" E70 is still enough, despite the more complex construction of electricians. If you buy a car after a caring owner, who cared for her not by the regulations, but according to conscience, that is, good chances of the fact that options with Motors N 52, N 55, M 62 and dieselks will be in full swing.
With other electrical and suspension troubles, they are practically necessary. It makes sense to count on cheap operation of this class, it does not make sense, it regularly requires a good service with a dealership scanner and skillful techniques, but for now expenses noticeably below the residual cost of machines.
In the photo: BMW X5 3.0D (E70) "2007-10 Only the acquisition of machines with Motors of the N 63 series are not recommended, unless you need a sports car dynamics, for the troubles with them are really too much. In any case, the regulations then from the manufacturer should forget if you don't want to spend a lot of time in services. Replacing the engine in the engine - every 7-10 thousand kilometers, high-quality synthetics, and not hydrocracking tiny. Replacing the oil in the gearbox - every two or three, and a very careful examination of the chassis.
The car systematically developed the success of the first generation of the model in the body of E53: it became more comfortable, universal and, finally, just more beautiful. It did not affect the experiments of Chris Bangla, she was given excellent passenger habits, they taught it to save fuel, and the dynamics raised to the level of the best sports cars. In general, not a car, but a dream. And at the same time and housewives, and macho. It would be possible to say that this is almost the best car among used, if not a whole bunch of nuances, mainly related to the cost of operation.
Dorestayl
The design, at first glance, remained the same as the predecessor. All the same motors under the hood, the same connected four-wheel drive, like Restyling E53, the same layout and approximately the same power from the most running motors.
The main changes affected the body and the cabin. The car has become a little more, received an almost full-fledged third of the seats and an updated design. From the technical point of view, the car did not carry anything new to restyling, when new turbo engines appeared, but the car managed work well. Even the first x5 was controlled as the best cars, and the second X5 surpassed it.

The car was taught to steering as well as the fifth series of BMW, even a higher center of gravity and mass were not a hindrance. Rolls, though, slightly more, and the suspension is harsh even in the most comfortable mode. But the off-road qualities of the family of the family at the same time were practically lost: the road clearance though left at 222 mm, but with such a number of aerodynamic elements on the bottom to climb a profile off-road - self-disstaining. Despite the rigid blocking of the front axle drive clutch, the car is getting jams quickly, because 18-19-inch rubber is frankly asphalt, on the ground instantly "closed".

However, most of all the owners of such machines are the salon, where not only exemplary comfort and quality of assembly, but also a new multimedia system with a branded "IDRIVE" and deep integration into a new mechatronic chassis of the car. And the versatility of such a car may well argue with minivans - if desired, a large salon allows you to transport a couple of cargo cubic meters or seven people; or "Paul Cuba" and five people with all possible comfort, speed and prestige. No wonder, many preferred a new X5 instead of the seventh BMW series.
Restayl
The 2010 update brought new trends in the form of turbo engines, and since 2011, the new eight-speed automatic transmission began with gasoline engines. The three-liter motor with a turbine on the dynamics almost caught up with dorestayline options with a V8 of 4.8 liters, and the turbocharged V8 allowed the bar for 6 seconds to "hundreds" for the "normal" xDrive50i and 5 seconds for x5m. Even more elasticity of new engines has increased, which means the dynamics in intermediate modes.

Problems
In the fifth year of life, the holders of the first cars were faced with an unpleasant feature: the highest quality of new cars in this age turned on high service costs and the failures of the set of nodes, large and not very. Yes, and the "Mased" of the atmospheric motors of the BMW series N in most cases manifests itself on the third and fifth year of life.
Most of the owners of the X5 E70 in such trifles did not be upset, simply replacing the car to restyling, with new turbosways. Problems are the second-third owner of such a car, and during the warranty period the number of failures is amazingly little for such a complex design.
Dealers, of course, resisted to the latter in clearly non-warranty cases. The high oil consumption was managed to "explain", and the mechanics of the automatic transmission are successfully treated with an update on the gearbox, because the adaptability of the new series of ZF boxes is the highest. If you buy such a machine of the last years of release, then you can safely skip almost all the text below by, except that the section about the motors and transmissions will be useful for you. The first time X5 E70 really breaks infrequently.
The same one who seriously thinks about buying the most inexpensive copies of the initial years, I would recommend to treat the story at all as another "ruined".
Body and Salon
The magnificent outward body is designed hard and expensive. Expensive is not only about painting and materials used, but also the price of components and works. Many launched decorative elements, very high quality of panel fittings, beautiful design moves like front wings passing into a bumper strongly increase the cost of any repair with any contacts of the machine with the surrounding coarse reality.
In the photo: BMW X5 XDrive35D "10 Year Edition" (E70) "2009 From the bottom of the car a bunch of plastic elements that are perfectly broken while trying to cut down on the off-road and storming borders. Corrosion can not be sought, unlike competitors from Mercedes, the Bavarians are fine at that age.
Even broken specimens of explicit instructions on poor-quality body repair in the form of paint blooms will not have, bumper and plastic wings. Surprisingly, even taking into account the parking sensors in a circle, there are enough battered cars - a family car with such a chassis really provokes inept drivers, and even a sense of false security in a high car affects.

Of the serious age troubles, it is possible to note that the weak plums of the windshield can be noted, and the right to clean is difficult, and after all the electronic control units are located above it. You can also note the way out of water on the engine from above due to the capped hood seals, the rear door lock knock and the high chances of the refusal of its electric drive and the inclination of the hatch drain to the climb. Also losing tightness rear lights - they are inserted into the opening of the door, and in the age cars they lose tightness, silvery inserts are oxidized inside, and the electronic filling fails. In the risk zone and the hood cable - in the absence of lubricant and jamming mechanisms, they are rhat. With passive safety, everything is very good, the car really allows to survive passengers in the most serious accidents. The cost of restoration, however, will be prohibitive - only the number of firing airbags is more than a dozen, and about the replacement of panels, of course, no one took care. After the accident, such a car should not be taken, there are practically no chances for successful recovery - new parts are very expensive, and used rare and are also worth a lot.
Salon and his equipment over the years reminded themselves more and more. A lot of complaints on the peeling wooden and carbon inserts of the panels, this is a fairly frequent problem for dorestayline machines. Soft door handles - consumage, if a woman rides a woman with a manicure. But the seats and the steering wheel usually hold for a long time, except that the electric drives are abandoned.

On the smokers, most likely tapping the driver's glass - it is recommended to replace the rollers and "hang out" the salon. And it is also worth checking the humidity of the floor carpet on the left side. If the pressure of the rear washer water is weakened, and the carpet is wet, then the chances cracked the water supply hose to the rear glass. It is plastic corrugated, and passes along with wiring harness into the back of the car. It is usually torn in the area of \u200b\u200bthe driver's feet or behind the rear doors, but the water from the washer not only waters carpets, but also fills the contacts of electricians. If it accumulates in the trunk or in the cabin - wait for trouble in the near future.

FRM block that controls all the lighting of the machine often fails in itself. For example, after turning off the power, it can simply "do not start." Sometimes the firmware helps, sometimes - easy repair. Often you have to change it to a new one.
The fan of the climatic system is also far from eternal, after five years of operation can refuse. The mirrors with a photochrom swell swell, and in the outer mirrors, the TopView system cameras: they lose hermeticity, the image becomes clouded first, and if you do not reanimate the camera, it will soon refuse at all due to the oxidation of the matrix contacts. The cabin challenges include the refusal of windshield janitors - its motor and the gearbox are frankly fascinated, gears often cuts.

Multimedia system failures - a separate conversation: IDRIVE updates for BMW owners have long become a special sport. Here it is necessary or yourself to be aware of updates and changes, or have a proven wizard. How to update navigation or "mining" FSC codes - all this is on the profile forums of the model.
Electrician and electronics
The failures of this part on age-related machines are added. In addition to the "salon" problems of electronics already described, you can expect the "mechatronic" machine stuffing. Many functions in new BMW are implemented at the expense of the appearance of electronic components where they do not expect to see - in particular, in the chassis and steering control.
Adjustable stabilizers of transverse stability, "smart" chassis pneumatics, active steering, electromotive drive of the front axle, adaptive head lighting - all these components are in their composition gearboxes, electric motors, electroclap ... and all this wear out.

Strongly suffer from our salt winter, the components of the wiring under the body and in the bumpers, the posting of parking sensors (however, it breaks often in intra-alone harness), suspension sensors, adaptive lighting and brakes. The rolling of K-CAN tires due to the failures of one of the components on it are often, especially different in this parking sensors.
Meets and "Kolkhozing". There are often proposals for replacing the connectors of the Parktronic sensors for components from engines ... ZMZ. Even with the fact that the wiring here is high-quality, not, purely resource problems. Since everything is rare, but the older the car, the more blocks will need either in repair, or in replacement, and here much depends on the qualification of the master and wishes of the owner.
Often, the method of repairing the node is worked out, as in the case of the replacement of plastic gears of dispensing drive, but mostly components are replaced with new ones. Podcast wiring and gasoline engines are in the risk area, for there is a very high temperature. Especially not lucky with gasoline supervised V 8 of the N 63 series - they have exhaust pipes in the back of the motor, heating the and without that heated engine shield harnesses.
Electroprompa and electrosters of the cooling system also have a finite resource, but they appeared only after restyling, and problems with them are rarely arising. But there are already no failures, which means that the resource of these nodes is also limited. On average, the problems arise not so often, but the value of the decision often makes you think about the sense of purchase a b / y of the car in general.
Brakes, Pendants and Steering
Brakes on x5 are beautiful from all points of view. They work well and have a completely sufficient resource. The disks are enough for a couple of replacement pads, and the pads themselves usually go no less than 30-40 thousand kilometers. If you put non-original components, the ratio is broken. There are no serious problems with corrosion pipes, nor with blocks ABS has not been noted. An opening and lapture of wiring to the ABS sensors and the level / tilt sensors are found regularly, but is relatively easy and cheaply cleaned.
The suspension is strong enough, if you do not fly into the pits and do not bend discs. Most of the trouble takes place on the "department" of mechatronics. The standard suspension without electronics on the E70 is almost never found, most of the machines are equipped with an adaptive suspension with electronically controlled shock absorbers and pneumatic skipping on the rear axle. Much less often can be found cars on sports suspension without electronics. You can not be afraid of problems with levers and silent blocks, the components are strong and inexpensive. The resource of the levers in the front is for a hundred thousand around the city, behind - approximately the same, and half of the levers have standardly replaceable silent blocks and hinges.

Pneumatics with electronics make a sports car from a two-tone car, but the cost of service increases several times, because the electronic components of the suspension are not different in a special resource, and the price is offshore. As a result - a lot of half-sized solutions and frequent "collectozing" with the installation of another type of suspension on one of the axes.
Steering can meet two types. The usual rail is simple and reliable, without special delights, with an adjustable spool. After several years of operation, it rarely flows, the electronics on it fails to be completely rare.
Where the problems of adaptive management are expensive. And they happen somewhat more often. Failure for easy parking and a very "sharp" steering wheel will be the high price of the rack itself, the failures of its servo and sensor failures. Most of the failures are eliminated purely software, but sometimes brings diagnostics, so you have to change several nodes to eliminate the cause of trouble. The latest updates of the control unit and high-quality service for servicing any, smaller, machine faults with such a steering type are strongly recommended.
Transmission
Oddly enough, but special troubles from this side can not be expected. More precisely, the costs are quite programmed. Guaranteed regularly fail the Motor Connection Motor and ZF 6HP Box. The resource of cardan shafts is great, but they require as regular maintenance. Is that a surprise in the form of a rear gentler failure can knock out the soil from under the feet of the owner, it usually happens on machines with weak diesel engines, especially after chip tuning, but also with gasoline supervisory sixs can also occur. The remaining versions have a reinforced gearbox, which more corresponds to the potential of the motor.
Drives are weak, quite frequent complaints about the lack of lubricants and arising because of this problem - overheating and knocks, so before buying it is worth checking the condition of the hinges not only on the anticon, but also visually, with its removal.
I have already written in the review of ZF 6HP 26 / 6HP 28 - 100-150 thousand kilometers it comes out. But with further incomprehensible. If the oil was often changed, did not "ignore", on time was replaced by the GDT lining, it can also go through, there are copies with mileage for 250 thousand km in some hands and without signs of ambulance. But more often will need a serious bulkhead, replacement of the sleeves, repairing mechatronics ...
If there are twitching during acceleration, and the transmission errors do not burn, then, most likely, when you have a blocking of GDT, but the box is clean. And if twitching when switching, it is likely that the box will go to the "Capital" immediately. Cause or in wear, or in the overwhelmed level of oil due to the trays of the pallet, the seals of the electrical industry or the pump. In any case, the box will wear the sleeves and dirt in the hydraulicone, for a long time it will not live even after topping the oil. The increase in the cooling of the automatic transmission can extend its life as a frequent oil change, once every 30-40 thousand kilometers. But the age box after the "first call" it may not help.
Newer eight-adjusted automatic transmission is still not bad, in any case they are less common in repair. But when runs, it is already up to one hundred thousand kilometers. There are copies with full wear of frictional and scored mechanical mechanicalon. And repair workshops are compiled on the maximum lightweight automatic transmission, which can be deformed during disassembly.
Motors
The total feature of all new BMW motors families is the widespread use of plastic in responsible nodes, high sensitivity to overheating and extremely stressful thermal shoes. And yet - complex management systems and very large sensitivity to the quality of sensors and the operation of the electoral motor.
Do not be surprised if you regularly persuade on the replacement of the expansion tank cover, the oil filter cover, temperature and MAF sensors, lambda and the like trivia. Sometimes a wine resource, sometimes it is a reinsurance, but in any case there will be a lot of trouble with the car Highitek, especially if you do not delve into the subtleties of service, do not wash the radiators and calculate only on the warranty and the loud name of the manufacturer.
About the motors of the old family N 62 and N 52 I have already written repeatedly in reviews, and. The three-liter six series of the N 52V30 series is quite good on a general background of the motor, but the high temperature of the thermostatting, large service intervals and insufficient quality of the "branded" oil contribute to the coke of the oil, which goes the piston rings on the second or third year of the machine. By five years, the engine with urban operation is formed a resistant oil appetite, to eliminate which it will have to go through or at least to use the cutting and pour only high-quality oil with a small replacement interval.
