I'm glad i found this post from searching.

As replacement to wife's 2002 Honda Odyssey, i'm considering 2015 BMW X5 XDrive50i, (production date shows as 2015-07-21) and looking up the engine type, i believe it's the N63TU variant from 3rd generation X5 (2014 to 2018).

Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct. Powerful and solid engine.

It doesn't have many factory installed options though.

Sorry to hijack, but thought i would ask for quick feedback, rather than starting a whole new thread about my ask.

Thumb up, or down?


Thanks much.
So it's a 1 owner with low 26k miles and M-Sport - which is good! It also has 3rd row seats - I wish I had those (they are for kids only, but they are priceless when you really need them! It has LED lights and some other options - which is nice (it's not fully loaded, but good enough).
It's 2015 so technically your 4 year or 50k miles warranty is about to expire. You'll get 1 year of CPO warranty on top by default - but I'm not sure if that car is sold by BMW dealership - so my only negative is the warranty situation. You'll need to do PPI before buying for sure and check all maintenance records. So I would say thumbs up IF everything checks out and you'll sort out warranty issue one way or the other (if they are wiling to budge a bit in price and you can get a good aftermarket warranty for that saved amount - then it works too, sometimes aftermarket warranty is way better than CPO warranty from BMW, it all depends).
