BMW X5 F15 xDrive30d (2013-2018)
Verified7 reviews
Great all rounder – Okay I just purchased the BMW X5 2014 a couple of month’s ago with 150,000kms but it does drive like new. I made sure all services were done and the vehicle has been a highway commuter from Brisbane to Sunshine Coast clocking up 80,000kms in past 3 years, which for me is much better than short city driving for a diesel motor. Buying an older BMW… Read more
you must keep it maintained and serviced every 10,000kms and only use the appropriate oil and filters etc. The only negative I can think of is the noise of the wide rear run flat tyres at highway speeds.
great quality car for people who can afford it – bought my 2015 30d m sport x5 brand new cant fault it m few minor issues but all were covered by warranty , i bought the extra 2 years from bmw so had 5 years full cover , just done 70000km no issues what so ever , usually i change cars after 5 years , will keep it for 2 more years , for piece of mind have taken an extended manufactures warranty… Read more
so the same as bmw from car sales for $2410 three years , as the new warranty so cant go wrong to keep it , drives great , looks great , great on fuel , would buy the next one after this , as long as you get the service plan for bmw for 5 years and extended warranty there is no reason why you cant keep the car for 5 even 6 -7 years . if not i would change it every 4- 5 years for sure .
I love my bmw f15 x5 30d – I bought my x5 fi5 30d brand new 3 years ago have done 60,000 km have not had a single problem I drive it every day I did buy the service package which I think was a good idea probably after the warrenty expires I will get it serviced privately as the dealers are very expensive before this car I had a 2009 x5 e70 also very good .There is something special about bmw I really enjoy the brand.

Great car, hard to fault – I've had my X5 for nearly 3 years from new and it has been faultless. That doesn't mean it isn't perfect - there are a few areas that let it down. The car is great and hard to fault but it really is just a good all rounder. There is nothing that it really nails above the GLE or Q7. The steering feels a bit lifeless for a BMW, part of the dash… Read more
where the silver trim under the passenger airvent meets the rest of the dash is slightly out of alignment (seen several others plus X6s with the same misalignment) and the M-sport suspension can crash against potholes really harshly.
The head up display is the best I have seen with directions, music, telephone and speed listed. The harman/kardon sound system is noticeably better than my friend's Meridian. The leather is a bit rough but it has been hard wearing. The xenon headlights are very very good. The panoramic roof has been flawless. The auto braking has been useful on several occasions.
The fuel economy hovers around the mid 8s consistently with mixed city and highway driving.
The servicing was included as part of a corporate pack so I can't comment on price. We have always been offered a courtesy car while the servicing has occurred.
Overall I can easily recommend this car. I intend to get another when the new shape comes out. It isn't the most thrilling car to own and drive but it's definitely a very good allrounder.
Great luxury car – The driving experience is amazing not much noise, easy to handle and great performance. The interior in mine is cream and it looks amazing I also have great legroom and the dashboard is very fancy. This is where the bad part comes it is really expensive to maintain i.e, fuel, oil, maintenance, brakes and etc. are super costly. Show details
Awesome SUV - Love it! – Purchased a new 2016 X5 30D with M-Sport, panoramic glass roof and innovations package. Plus 5 year warranty. Lots of cool features, great performance for a large car and very comfortable. Maybe too comfortable. Love the active cruise control, head up display, lane departure warning, fuel economy and so much more. Highly recommend this… Read more
vehicle.
Previous car was a BMW E92 335i which was great apart from the rattly turbo waste gates.
Loved the car and the performance but the seat belt extenders were a bad design and as mentioned above, the turbos can be noisy.
What a Brillant SUV! – We received our new BMW X5 xDrive30d the weekend before last. We cannot stay out of it. The gadgets are endless and I particularly like the heads up display. The interior is typically luxurious, but to be expected from BMW. We expected that being a diesel for it to rattle and be sluggish like a truck, but you can barely tell its a diesel from the… Read more
outside when it is running and can't tell at all from the inside with the cabin closed. The fuel economy is extraordinary with the first tank doing an amazing 1150 kilometres for the first 85 litre tank. The size hits in you the face the first time you try to park it (or maybe its fear of scratching the all plastic guards) , but then of course the car helps you out with all of the parking aids and cameras swinging into action and the are genuinely amazing. But the thing the surprised us most was the performance. 0-100 in just under 7 seconds for a SUV of this size is swift in anyone's book. I can't imagine what the larger engine sizes would be like. We are so glad we upgraded to BMW after test driving many of the cheaper brands. It seems you do get what you pay for.
