It could be true, am trying to do whatever I can to prevent rust (wash, coat it etc), especially in snow areas.

My personal research returned the water pump as an occasional issue for the x35i. I did not research the 5.0.

The battery can also be an issue, depending on driving habits, per the SB.

Overall, the the X5 is a very solid reliable platform. Change the oil regularly and don't neglect preventative maintenance. I expect over 150k miles on the engine.

150K miles of engine life expectancy? That'd be a blasphemy for the BMW brand. This engines should be able to last at least double that.

Good to hear! Turbo motors generally have a lower TBF so I was taking a conservative guess.
