OEM BMW › Brake discs

Rating 4.0

Braking:

One of those checks will be a minimum thickness on discs and pads. Given you've only done just over 1000 miles in the vehicle since purchase, it would seem to me that the minimum thickness on the discs when the vehicle was sold to you was at or below that required as part of the pre-sale check.

Pros: minimum thickness on discs

Cons: discs below required thickness

Chips/cracks:

For my X5 M comp I go with the ultimate tire/wheel, windshield, ext maintenance (5 not 7). Curb rash one rim and you make it back… WS replacement from crack is the same. BMW glass has gotten softer and more prone.

Pros: make it back

Cons: BMW glass softer

Braking:

If you find a used BMW that has been well taken care of, especially one with an inline 6 cylinder, you should have very few issues for 5 years of ownership. A few examples in my family… 2003 X5 4.4i just regular maintenance including new brakes for 5 years of ownership and 60k some miles.

Pros: regular maintenance

Cons: new brakes

Leveling under load:

I own 2. Bought both used at around 45,000 miles. One now has 145,000 and has had two minor repairs in those 8 yrs of ownership (roughly $500 each time). The other is a bit newer, I knew when buying it that the rear air suspension would be soon due for replacement.

Pros: minor repairs

Cons: air suspension replacement

Look out for the transfer case. I have a '22 45e and it's an amazing car but for a while the car would sporadically shudder at low speeds, especially when turning (like in a parking lot). Best way to replicate this is to have the car facing downward on an incline and then slowly backup. If you sense any shudder (feeling is most prominent through the steering wheel), then the transfer case needs attention.

Pros: amazing car

Cons: shudder at low speeds

Bosch › Spark plug

Acceleration:

I changed the spark plugs on my X5 with Bosch ones. My mechanic showed signs of being upset with me for not bringing the genuine BMW ones... Fast forward to a week ago - the car throws a check engine light and OBD scan shows faulty oxygen sensor heater circuit. My mechanic linked this to the Bosch plugs, suggesting they might not be the correct type. I ended up replacing them with genuine BMW plugs and an O2 sensor, which cleared the codes and improved power. My learning is that Bosch has many SKUs, and it's hard to ensure the exact OE part number, potentially leading to incorrect plug types (e.g., 'double platinum' instead of 'laser iridium') for BMW, costing more in the long run.

Cons: check engine light, incorrect type, costly in long run
