Buying a used 2019 X5. Tips?
Hi all,
I found a loaded 2019 X5 40i xdrive with a great price, which im kinda skeptical but it's from a very well known dealership in Chicago soooo. The guy told me that there's no any credit whatsoever because those are for new cars only. Is that true?? I mean honestly the price is below my budget but any extra saving will definitely make my day. I am trading in a 2013 335 which lots of issues lol so that's gonna be painful to hear how much they give me. It has 8000 miles only and literally every single options that I want except for the white interior. Never negotiate with a dealer, does anybody have tips to help me out???? Thanks! |

The G05 X5 is a highly leased car so that in itself doesn't mean much. I recall that several of the owners who got BMW to take their cars back, were leasing them. As you know, leases are normally for three years, there aren't any G05 X5's that are off lease yet so there's a story behind this one that would be interesting to understand. If you have the VIN, you might post it here and see if anyone recognizes it.

I wouldn't. There's a reason it's a "good deal". I have a 2019 X5 and it's been in the shop 13 times since I bought it new in Nov 2018. Most unreliable car I've ever owned. It left me and my family in the side of the road in the middle of nowhere with 400 miles on the clock... It's currently been sitting at the dealership for nearly two months waiting on parts. Been discussing with BMW about a resolution... not right I need to keep making my lease payments while driving a loaner with a fraction of the value of my car. It's my 4th BMW since 2007 and the second with significant problems... so it will probably be the last BMW I ever buy or lease... if they'd buy it back I'd sell it in a heartbeat...

there's a huge difference between the F15 and the G05. The G05 isnt a vehicle, its a computer that has wheels, and the software isn't fully baked in. I have frequent glitches and miscues when driving. Does it bother me? No, its a lease, therefore not my problem. If it were mine i'd have so many sleepless nights wondering how long this stuff will last till it breaks expensively. Don't buy it

I'm glad you haven't had any issues, I'll continue to pray for you and other owners that you are able to enjoy your vehicle issue free for the length of your ownership. I, however, will never do anything with vehicles that are this sophisticated except lease. |

I'm not necessarily frustrated. I just feel overwhelmed. Having driven the F15 for 4 years, I didn't really query the PCD guy for much figuring it was just another iteration of something I already was very familiar with. I was so so wrong. It took me almost 2 months to fully wrap my head around all the new features and how to use the tech. So I can understand there will be software hiccups with something this sophisticated. I also realize I'm not the typical owner since I'm a forum enthusiast. But at this point, I'm trying to reduce daily stressors, and I know if I own something, my annoyance would turn into frustration and paranoia every time it acts up.
Although software issues aside, there's been zero mechanical issues. |

What I'd recommend to look for are Dealer Manager car, the Managers offtin will drive a fully loaded unit till it reaches a certain millage then they will off load it.
Typically these are good deals usually between 10-20k off, are fully loaded and service will be done on schedule.. check all dealers US wide there's lots of deals where you can fly, buy, and drive home. |

If you really want to play it hard leave interested without signing and wait until they contact you. Down side could be that someone else buys it. If you look at the car line it is your first girlfriend the price won't go down much. My current car is a new one. My two cars before were 6 months old and driven by the owner of the dealer. Got a really good deal on both and never had serious issues. I always had 2 years BMW guarantee. In your case I would try to have the same. After two years all major faults should have become clear and taken care of. You should be able to look into the service history. If there are major issues that should be evident. In Europe there is a Bmw program that sells cars driven by Bmw employees. They usually have a lot of options. I don't know if this exists in the US. Off course more 3 series than X5 available. Good luck. It's a great car ! |

I would not own or lease a late model BMW without a warranty. They are very expensive to repair. Knock on wood we've had ours for 16 months and have had 0 problems but it's a 3 year lease so it will be turned in before the warranty expires.

It does have standard 3yr 36000 mile warranty. And i should be able to get major things fix by the end of that if there's some flows in the 2019 productions. hopefully i just win lottery by the end of the warranty and i will get a Urus without asking how much it is.
