XSeries-forum

Hi guys and girls 

I am a new forum member and hopefully new owner next week. You have a nice forum here with a lot of information about BMW X cars.

I have few questions. The X5 I am looking to buy next week is advertised as BMW X5 3.0 xDrive30d M Sport 2010.

Forgive the lame question, but what model that would be E70?

Also I have used the forum search function, but cannot find any list with X5 recalls, is there any place I can go and check that?

Thank you all.

Hi Val and welcome

The X5 history is:-

E53 1999 - 2006

E70 2006 - 2013

F15 2013 - present

The car you are looking at is an E70.

Sorry but can't help with the recals

Hello and


For recalls you need to visit VOSA.  You need the build date - not the registration date of the car.  The build date is under the bonnet (month/year).

Note that this only covers safety recalls mandated by them and not 'Quality Enhancements' offered by BMW.  You will need the last 7 of the vehicle VIN characters (2 letters, 5 numbers) to get this from BMW.

Hello and  along

thank you all
