Analysis

What Problems Does the 2013 BMW X5 Have?

Frequently reported problems for the 2013 BMW X5 include oil leaks (particularly around the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing), coolant leaks (radiator, hoses, expansion tank), and electrical issues (sensor failures, iDrive malfunctions). Some owners have reported problems with the transfer case and transmission, especially at higher mileage. Air suspension issues, such as compressor failure or leaks in the air springs, are also noted.
Recalls for the 2013 X5 included issues related to fuel pump failures and brake vacuum hose issues, which could affect braking performance.
Long-term reliability can be a concern due to the complexity of the vehicle's systems. Regular maintenance, including fluid changes (oil, coolant, transmission fluid) and inspections, is crucial to prevent major issues. Pre-purchase inspections by a qualified mechanic are highly recommended to identify potential problems before buying a used 2013 X5. Check for service records documenting maintenance and repairs.

How long will the 2013 BMW X5 last?

With proper maintenance, a 2013 BMW X5 can reach 200,000 miles or more. However, consistent upkeep is essential. Vehicles with neglected maintenance may experience more frequent and costly repairs. The long-term durability is affected by factors such as driving conditions and climate. Weaknesses over time include potential issues with the cooling system, oil leaks, suspension components, and electrical systems. Preventative maintenance, such as regular fluid changes and inspections, is key to maximizing the lifespan of the vehicle. Ignoring warning signs can lead to expensive repairs down the line.

Not so fast!! Warranty and engineering rigor does not live up to quality expectations... Or is it business as usual? I have been a fan of BMW's for a long time due to what I believed to be a company that stood behind its reputation for dependable well-engineered vehicles. I was surprised when the vehicle started to smell like smoke from an interior electrical fire. I pulled over, opened up the cargo area and found an open drinking bottle had leaked under the carpeted bay lid. Later? the dealership notified me that there was over $1300 in damage to one of the electronics modules. I spoke with the service manager and requested to see the problem. The service manager had the cargo area open and the plastic battery cover removed. He pointed to a small silver box that had been damaged. Then pointed to the culprit, an electronic connector that had been mounted cup up vs down so that it would catch water along the unimpeded drip path. A minor spill would cause expensive damage. Several electronics boxes and connectors were placed in a similar fashion. (I thought what engineer designed this. It appeared to be either an intentional design flaw or pure stupidity). Working for a large aerospace engineering company and being grilled repeatedly over engineering rigor for far less expensive products, I was appalled. Quality engineering, and engineering rigor are normal processes in engineering companies and corporations like BMW. It?s in place to prevent mistakes which might create a large liability. BMW didn?t design a spill dam, turn the connectors over, use watertight connectors, or squirt a silicon barrier into the electronic connectors. All very low cost preventative measures. When compared to the cost of the impressive sound proofing, quality leather seats, etc? it?s impressive that BMW blatantly ignored process to increase vulnerabilities. With the risk of a liquid spill, quality engineering and risk analysis would highlight this as high risk of damage, high cost of repair, and high frequency of occurrence. It is unbelievable that BMW did not know this was a problem. So the question is was this an intentional vulnerability to increase owner costs.. When a warranty request was made..BMW's response was "this is damage from external causes and is not covered by manufacturer warranty?. ... This is an engineering vulnerability that even an inexpensive Hyundai would not allow. Higher engineering and business ethics is expected for a $70k vehicle. BMW Fail

As of today, used market prices vary widely based on condition, mileage, and location, generally ranging from $12,000 to $25,000. The X5 has depreciated significantly, as expected for a luxury vehicle of its age. Factors affecting resale value include vehicle condition, mileage, service history, and the presence of desirable options (e.g., premium packages, third-row seating). Models with documented maintenance and clean titles command higher prices.

2013 BMW X5 Cost of Ownership

The 2013 BMW X5 is generally considered costly to own. Insurance premiums tend to be higher than average due to its luxury status and repair costs.

2013 BMW X5 Insurance

Insurance for a 2013 BMW X5 is moderately priced, reflecting its status as a Sport Utility Vehicle with strong safety ratings and
reasonable repair costs.

How Does the 2013 BMW X5 Compare to Other Sport Utility Vehicle?

The 2013 BMW X5 competes with other mid-size luxury SUVs like the Mercedes-Benz ML-Class, Audi Q7, and Lexus RX. In terms of performance, the X5 offers a sportier driving experience than the RX, but the ML-Class and Q7 can be comparable. Feature-wise, the X5 provides a similar level of luxury and technology to its rivals. However, the Lexus RX generally has better reliability ratings. The Audi Q7 offers more spacious third-row seating.
In terms of price, the X5 falls in the mid-range within its class.
Alternatives to consider include:
  • Lexus RX: Known for reliability and comfort, but less sporty.
  • Mercedes-Benz ML-Class: A balanced competitor with similar luxury and performance.
  • Audi Q7: Offers more passenger space, especially in the third row.
  • Acura MDX: More affordable and generally more reliable, but less luxurious.

If reliability is a top priority, the Lexus RX or Acura MDX are better choices. If sporty handling and driving dynamics are preferred, the X5 or ML-Class are good options. The Q7 is best for those needing a more spacious third row.

Final Verdict: Is the 2013 BMW X5 a Good Sport Utility Vehicle?

The 2013 BMW X5 is ideal for buyers seeking a blend of performance, luxury, and practicality in a mid-size SUV. It's best suited for those who appreciate a sporty driving experience and don't mind potentially higher maintenance costs. Whether it's worth buying depends on the individual's priorities and budget. A well-maintained used model can be a good value, but a pre-purchase inspection is essential. Consider the xDrive35i for a balance of performance and fuel economy, or the xDrive35d for better fuel efficiency. Avoid models with a history of neglected maintenance or significant mechanical issues. If reliability is a primary concern, alternative vehicles may be more suitable.

Great service from Brandon Powe Luxury Car Outlet

I worked with Brandon Powe on a BMW purchase. Not only was he extremely professional and knowledgeable, he also provided amazing post purchase assistance with my desired modifications. I’ve referred two people since my purchase and they all appreciate Brandon’s top tier salesmanship. I’ll definitely be back when the time is right.

Emissions light

This is the X5d and I have had years of intermittent issues with emissions warning lights coming on and sometimes it came on on my way home from the BMW service department when that is the reason I took it to them. The light came on again and now I’m told the filter needs replacing and the part is $3500 and I’m sure the labor will be close to $2000. I have 125000 miles on the car so thinking it should not be a problem but the value of the car may be so low that putting this kind of money in it would be worth it. Getter rid of the car with this problem is likely a big loss situation. Don’t know what to do. Is there a recall for this that I don’t know about? I bought this car with about 20000 miles on it from the dealer. Thanks.

Sleek, Sexy & Stylish!

Was just rear ended totaling my 2004 X5 with only 80K miles on it. *Don’t drive a lot hence the low miles. Well Maintained! Best car I’ve ever owned! Purchased a 2013 X5 with only 39K miles & all the bells/ whistles! Test drove it & said “I’ll take it!Ć¢ā‚¬Ā I overpaid a little but got a car that I know & trust! It’s sleek, sexy & stylish! A true head turner that handles well & reliable! Would recommend an X5 to anyone! *I do miss my 2004, though!
