Hi,
Looking into getting either a 2016 X5 M 26k kms (16k mi) or a 2016 X6 M 21k kms (13k mi). Can you guide in which problems I could find or changes you got down the line until aprox 50k kms or 35k mi Thanks! |

I had my sway bar replaced under warranty at 19k miles due to leaking. But other than that no issues. $3,600 repair to BMW.

Some issues my X5M had.
Rear differential fluid leak replaced and covered by warranty at 25K miles ($5000 or so per dealership). Steering column replaced under warranty at 30K mi (not sure how much it would cost out of pocket, but I'm sure it's at least $500). Rear air bags recently replaced at 35K mi - out of warranty ($700 parts/labor at indy shop - Dealership cost at least double that). Nothing "major"; but it's a BMW and expect issues to arise. |

2015 X6M 52k miles, done under warranty:
- Steering column - Driver door soft-lock - Bloody squeaky front brakes replaced multiple times - Front wheels chuttering noise when cornering Now that it's outta warranty, noticing right rear airbag leaks only when I repark the car, e.g. pull out of the garage and park in the drive way or vice versa. |

My 2016 X6M has 36k miles and the sway bar also leaking, the dealer just replaced it under warranty. Wow, I didn't know it was a 3600 dollar job.

I replaced them myself with arnott bags - easy and now problem solved. Set me back around $350 but they have lifetime replacement warranty, so if they break again, I get new bags for free.

I am right around the corner at 60,000 miles, and luckily I have had a single issue. But keeping my fingers crossed. My X5M is going in for both front and rear differential flushes, transfer case flush and transmission flush next week.

I just purchased a 2017 X5M with 72,000 miles. I had a 3rd party inspection done and everything looked good. After driving it home, I immediately noticed an oil leak in my driveway and it turned out to be a leaking upper oil pan gasket. $3,400 estimate for repair as the front suspension has to be removed to access it. Fortunately I was able to get the Chevrolet dealership I bought the vehicle from to pay for the repair. I'm not able to get an extended warranty as the vehicle has a Stage 2 Dinan Package. Hopefully no more major issues going forward.
