BMW X5 parts reviews

I’ve been running conti DWS 06s on my X5/7s for years. Really like them. Good all weather traction, even in the snow. If you’re in lots of snow often then a true winter/summer setup is best as nothing beats snow tires, but for the usual storms we get in the Denver area they’re solid.

I'd go with the Continental studdless, they are a bit better than what I have on my own X5, the Goodyear tires you've listed.

Ive had mine and its oem continental on a 2012 with 170k mils

I did all 4 Brembo rotors + Z23 Powerstop ceramic pads for ~$400 from Rockauto on my F15 35i last year. The Z23 pads are a favorite amongst the X5M crowd I’ve been loving them for over a year now - don’t usually buy Powerstop but these are great. All around great setup

Bosch icon like my X5 and I'm happy. Worked well snow and rain.

Safelite’s windshield is not tinted nor as thick as the OEM. I’d recommend only use the BMW OEM windshield or you’re devaluing you X5.

Lots of BMW's as they get in to the upper mileage tend to start consuming oil one way or another.

The timing chain was the first thing to go , which was meant to \u2018last the lifetime\u2019 of the car, which in BMW\u2019s eyes was certainly no more than 95k miles. Expensive to fix! Then the air suspension , oh and the brakes also locked whilst at a friend\u2019s house and parked on the drive , had to be dragged off their drive by the rescue lorry. The rear windshield also just spontaneously exploded while parked on my drive.

I’m getting issues with rotors warping on my 2002 E53. I bought Zimmermann smooth rotors couple of years ago and they’ve been lathed couple of times now. At one point I had to replace Zimmermann pads too as they were excreting glue or something that caused “falling stars” on the rotor faces.

Just got back from a 1200 kms trip in my 2024 bmw x5 m40i.I can confirm that the headlights are bad.Had a nasty sidewall rupture on the front right tyre because I couldn\u2019t see a pothole in the rain at night .
