How long do you plan to keep your*X5/X6

[Keithwand]

2016 X5 with 21K miles. Still enjoying my car with no plans to part with. Will need tires soon. The run flats are noisy but good wear.
Non runflats soon.

As long as my x5 f15 is the last diesel I’ll be keeping her.

Many years- possibly update to a 2017, or a 5.0 if the price is right and the mileage is not too big of a factor, but I really like the package on the 2014 I have now- M-Sport & a few extras. I would not have purchased them with the car, but I bought used and they were on there. I've since driven a few other X5s without the extras, and I guess i'm spoiled.

But in general- I'd like to get a good 10-12 years out of the car, or more if maintenance & repair does not approach diminishing returns. The other good thing is that the dealers still want the older models (or so they say now, we'll see when it's time...), so trade ins / trade ups should be slightly easier.

What RFT do you have as my P Zeros could only last 15k miles?

Fair point.

Dunlop’s. Noisy but good wear. 21k so far and should get minimum of 25+

I was pretty impressed with the F15 (35i) loaner we got last year and mentioned to my wife that I could see myself driving one but had to be MSport, since the F85 was out of my range. Test drove the M50i 8 months ago and it was a done deal!

Mine is already a money pit. Two years ago I had the amazing [bad] luck of stone chipping my front camera. It cracked the glass on the camera and didn't damage anything else. I put off on fixing in, but it fogged up recently and was giving me errors, so I replaced it... $500 for the part! Shop quoted me two hours labor, I ended up fixing it myself and cutting my hands and arms.

Life of owning a BMW...

Probably 15 to 20 years ...this 35d is the best thing I’ve ever owned ... or until 300;000 miles

Same here. I had e70 diesel and now F15 diesel. I ordered the F15 with all the options I wanted knowing I would keep it for a long long time....

[Maverik259]

35k on my '14 50i and got extended warranty through 2023 so somewhere around there

[covertstyle]

Just got my 2016 X5 35i at 48k miles, planning to keep as long as it's running!

Previous owner drove above 20k per year, but mainly highway miles.

Probably a silly question, but what's the major difference/impact on a car if mileage is mainly city vs. highway driving? I can understand the brakes going out sooner, but is there anything else?

Seeing all these pics of the new G05 is giving me the itch to upgrade.

I saw the new 8, I’d rather buy that than change my F15.

I love the look of the interior but still not sold on the exterior. Specifically the grill. I imagine once they are out and about it will grow on me, but right now I'm not a fan.
I also can't afford the new one right now in life, so that may have something to do with it lol

My Dunlops were noisy too, but i did get a legit 26k out of them. I switched to the Bridgestone RFT's. They are quieter for sure, but will only get about 20k out of them.
