oil field
Bought this car with 39.000 just 2 weeks ago. First issue, minor oil ring seal. Leaked for a bit. Now the issue is its burning oil. Do all bmw cars and trucks have oil issues? Went through this with the 645ci. Ridiculous!

The Cost To Maintain
I have had multiple repairs to this car. Luckily all were covered under warranty. Don't buy a desiel unless it is certified with a warranty. DEF tank has been replaced 3 times. I have been stuck 4 times with "reduced engine power" because of different sensors. On the he bright side this is a very comfortable car and great to drive. 25+ miles to the gallon.

A lot of problems after 60k
Everything starts to break down at 60k and it’s expensive to fix

X5 50is
Great car. Spacious interior and roomy. Drives great. Excellent handling and very quite despite sports package and large 315 20 tires. Lots of power and torque; one of the fastest SUVs you can get. Good gas millage for 5300+ lb vehicle (depending on driving style). On long trip we averaged 20-21 MPG fully loaded with 5 adults.
Run don’t walk away from this car!
Bought this car pre owned, 50k miles great condition, looked and drove like brand new. Within the first 6 months I had put $3k in repairs into the car, it’s been none stop repairs and maintainace ever since. Requires around $4k minimally a year in general upkeep. Horrible on gas, always in the shop, electronic issues-radio comes and goes, lock chime comes and goes, comfort access works half the time. Always an issue, leak, repair, won’t start, I mean the list is endless. Beautiful car drives like a dream, amazing in the snow, beautiful to look at but cost of ownership is out of control. Will be going back to a Mercedes truck next time around.
