XSeries-forum

So my wife cooked the E39 528i for the second time.  And after a rebuild last year another 2K seems a bit steep to keep her going - so have decided to buy a used X5 E53.

I have found a used X5 E53 3.0d Sport through a BMW dealer with 74k on the clock FBMWSH.  £10500 with a full BMW warranty.

Is this overpriced or am i getting a good (as You can get via main dealer) deal?

Thanks for any advice.

Hi and welcome, did they say what year it was ?????? And what spec, satnav etc.?????

2005 Sat Nav electric from seats bluetooth comms pack... think that was about it...

Hi,

To give you a rough idea...

I bought mine recently, also a 2005 (55) with all the toys, 3.0d auto. I got £500 off so paid £7,500.

However, mine had 121K on the clock, and bought from a back street garage with a questionable 3 month warranty. It is in superb condition throughout though.

Based on that, I would say £10,500 for yours from a BMW dealer with full warranty - how long is this? - with that mileage, its not too bad.

But I would definitely do a bit of haggling. I think they'll be expecting £10,000.

Hope that helps.

That's one hell of a deal from a main dealer. I've seen similar recently for up to £13,500 (advertised) so £3k less should be snapped up.

That always assumes it's not a poverty spec manual in some horrible colour combination; Turquoise with Saddle Leather, that no one in their right mind would buy.

[/quote]He did say purchased from BMW dealer(not main Dealer) ?????????? Just a thought

Yes it is a main BMW dealer!  However they can't deliver for at least 10 days due to number plate transfer (they only told me this after taking the deposit.  I have also seen a 2004 3.0 d sport all good extras sunroof sports pack comms pack black lovely car with 45k on the clock and two owners.  FBMSH too...

Which would you go for.  I can get a lapsed BMW warranty on this for £890 and he wants 11k for it...

Lovely to get feedback from people who know these cars...

Before I bought mine I saw a lot of rubbish for sale around £10500 at back street dealers and some non franchised dealers, so the price is about right for excellent condition. I paid £9k for mine with 2 owners and FBMWSH and 89k miles it's good but not great. A few scratches etc but seems a good used car with new michelins all round and I'm happy with it, I went private in the end but bought from someone who for bmw and had x5's for years

I'd check out that milage carefully, in my search for an X5 I came across quite a few examples which had obviously been clocked, even ones with full history, at 45k the interior should look reasonably new, the side bolsters on the drivers seat gives a good indication.
