BMW Diesel.
Hi I brought a 2013 X5 35d which has done 83k kilometers
( approx 50k miles). I've had it 3 months. I am just so impressed with it I will get a later model one in a year or to. The dealer removed the Blue performance system ( which is allowable in NZ) and said I'm better of without it ? He says better performance , more mpg and less trouble with the horrible exhaust filter thing what ever it's called. I put the required amount of fuel and injector cleaner in and it's running decidedly better. I've changed the transfer case oil and the auto trans oil as we tow a 26' caravan . ( effortlessly to I might add). Ours is the Sports model with bits and pieces of trim front and rear and sides. But most of all has wider 20" wheels front and rear and small wheel arch trims to cover , makes it look mean from the rear especially ! We also have a 2019 X4 M40i , what a car , it's the best car I've ever had and at 78yrs I've had a few ! It's the 4 th BMW I've had.
