BMW X5 Mk2 common problems (2007-2013)

It’s fair to say the BMW X5 rocked the automotive world when it was launched in 1999 because it was a large 4×4 that drove like an executive car. A sporty one at that. And the second-generation E70 car simply improved on the recipe by providing better performance and efficiency, no matter what fuel it had in the tank.

However, it isn’t perfect, with owners noting a number of issues concerning the transmission software, the fuel system and the suspension.

Nevertheless, if you’re willing to get the spanners out and fix it yourself, there’s nothing here that should unduly worry a home mechanic. And best of all, you’ll save hundreds if not thousands of pounds on BMW garage labour rates.

So, now’s the time to download our Haynes Autofix product for the BMW X5 Mk2 and let it guide you through the most common faults and repairs.
