Common problems for 2016 X5Ms?

[Ad20058]

Hey everyone. New here and thinking of getting my hands on a ‘16 X5M. Not new to bimmers. Have a ‘08 e92 with a whopping 43k miles lol.

I love that car but needing something a little bigger and am a bit obsessed over X5Ms.

As I start taking the search a little more seriously, are there any common problems on these cars I should be aware of?

Common issue I've encountered with any car with Air Suspension is leakage in the system. Hopefully with a 16, it's already been replaced. Although by now, it might need to be replaced again soon.

I had this with my 2012 AMG E63 wagon (replaced under limited extended warranty in 2017) and my 2015 X5M (replaced under original warranty in 2018).

The monoblocks can have piston seizures due to corrosion in areas that have a lot road salt. Since you live in DC, it shouldn't be a problem. It's the inside pistons that seize.

Those are the only major things I've encountered in my 5 years of ownership
