I have been using Mobile 1 in my 2002 X5 3.0 and my 2001 Z3 2.5i forever. Both vehicles have about 185,000 miles each with no major repairs.
My 2021 45e usually gets 30-34 in mild southern US weather per charge.
I drive a 2016 f15 x5 40e. After 7 years i still do the same distance full electric, maybe 2-3km less but can be my driving style
I set off to test the X5 battery to see if degradation was better or worse than my iPhone's 10% degradation over one year. We've driven 29,996 miles, 15,296.5 electric. My best all-electric range achieved was about 41 miles when new. After one year, I achieved exactly 41 all-electric miles from a full charge in ideal conditions. Zero percent degradation as measured by this test. It appears temperature and AC/heat use have much greater impacts on range than actual battery health at this stage. Results look better than expected for long term ownership and residual value.
I bought a Bosch reman for my X5 about 3 years ago, no issues whatsoever.
Turns out the high pressure fuel pump had disintegrated and the entire fuel system had to be replaced. They tried to blame it on water in the fuel, I didn’t cave, so warranty covered it.
Always been a bi Michelin fan - never been done wrong with them. They cost a little more, but the ride and quiet are worth it to me. My X5 is right at the 70,000 mile mark with the set of Defender LTX I have on it, and I'd imagine another set is going on right behind them.
I did find the b6 to be on the stiffer side. Not full on race car stuff, but definitely "sporty stiff."
They absorb impacts really well, but you're still gonna feel everything.
My BMW X5 windshield broke on the way home from the dealership. These windshields, or the construction of the car and the pressure on the glass is a huge problem. Folks all over the internet with the same issues.
I have the same one in my E53 X5 3.0 and it takes forever in the winter to warm up. I replaced the old one as it was leaking but the new one takes like 10miles to get fully up to temp. If I have a long coast up to a stop the temp gauge will actually go back down.
