Looking to buy a 2017 F15 X5

Hi All,

New here to the X5 side of things.
My brother has an n54 335 E92 that has been a nightmare.
We're both fairly knowledgeable about cars and can probably pull the n54 apart and back together.

I've got my eyes on a 2017 F15 Xdrive 30d with 90000kms.
Previous services look in check, done every 10k.

I'm going to look at it tomorrow, but ive got no idea what to look for in these cars.
Any tips?

Got my 2018 X5 30D with 89,XXX kms about 6 months ago.

you're going to love her.

things to look for that I experienced:
- if optioned with Air rear suspension, check for leaks.
- check if tear tailgate is rattling when going over bumps, or approaching driveways on an angle, causing the body to flex, and in turn, making squeaks and rattles on the tailgate area
- typical oil leaks here and there.

Best of luck

Sydney as well. Looks like you got a great deal. I got a 2017 X5 M sport and paid $44k 98,xxxkm

$9k more for newer year and 9000 less km seems good to me.

ahh same same

If you have any issues, let me know, as my good mate has a mechanic/tuning shop.

He did my tranny service, full service and also installed the front springs and calibrated the rear airbags.

planning on ceramic coating her soon...feel like doing it myself (as its white..iof black..then nope...lol - too scared)
