Looking at an X5 diesel at Maxwell Ford in Austin. Can anyone go check it out for me?

Let me save you the bother.  X5 diesels are the serious suck.  To the point that my friend who's a BMW service writer told me emphatically to not even think about getting one.

That's how I ended up with the Cayenne diesel, which has been pretty much bomb proof reliable, plus has the monster warranty.

In reply to docwyte :

Funny. My very trusted BMW mechanic, who I've used for 10+ years with all my BMWs and Porsches, adores them. So much so that his wife has been driving one for 7+ years now. 

You'll need to log in to post.
