2013 BMW X5 4dr SUV
turbocharged 440hp 4.4L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 45000 mi US $50 |
Replaced control nob for phone, nav, radio, cd, etc. |
| 46580 mi | The front passenger vacuum door lock actuator needed replacement. For the past few trips, it will not "suck" the door 70% of the time, and we had to shut the door rather harder as if it had not vacuum to keep it from unlocking |
| 66340 mi | The vacuum door ( left rear) lock actuator was replaced for malfunction |
2013 BMW X5 4dr SUV
turbocharged 315hp 3.0L I6 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 45700 mi | Scheduled maintenence and recall for module that connects with cell towers. Speedometer 3 mph faster than actual. Was told the tolerance is 10% so that was considered normal. 10% is awful in my opinion |
| 57000 mi | Took the car in on Monday with Combox issues with connected drive. They could not get it to work. They emailed connected drive for account info and update. Dealer never got a response so they could not get it to work. Had to pick up the car on Friday. Later I called connected dive, BMW assist. They gave me a refund for service that was not provided. They did a reactivation or reset from their end and now it seems to be working. I need to test it more to be comfortable. |
2013 BMW X5 4dr SUV
turbocharged 300hp 3.0L I6 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 42000 mi | Horn blew when vehicle shut off. Determined that previous airbag recall repair was done incorrectly and a wire was loose. It contacted the steering wheel column when power-retracting at shutoff, sounding the horn briefly. Service writer tried to charge us the $50 CPO deductible, but a more experienced service writer who checked my wife out later knew it was their fault from a previous repair and waived the deductible. |
| 20000 mi | rearview camera malfunction |
| 30000 mi | Navigation display was turning red and then black and was unresponsive. Software update seems to have resolved the issue. |
| 33000 mi | computer needed to be reset |
| 11300 mi | The Airco System needed reset...fan wouldn't go below medium. |
| 14400 mi | WOuldn't stay on station - got lost - reflashed |
| Replaced Bluetooth hands free microphone. |
2013 BMW X5 4dr SUV
turbocharged 265hp 3.0L I6 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD
| 79000 mi US $350 |
I drive controller replaced |
| 18000 mi | Low power voltage reported which stalled the transmission/engine. Changed power outlet box in rear which seemed to fix issue (though the transmission still shifted erratically). I traded this vehicle out. |
| 2000 mi | Combox for telematics failed (i.e., Bluetooth & iPod connections would not work). Replaced combox. During combox programming, entire CIC failed (i.e., iDrive failed). CIC replaced with new unit (i.e., new iDrive installed). |
| 39000 mi | Computer failure caused the rear backup camera and warning beeper to stop transmitting. |
| 34000 mi | Electronic and computer issues |
| 42160 mi | Amplifier and head unit were replaced |
