Built to Last: 18 Years of Power and Performance

Although my 2008 BMW X5 is nearly 18 years old and requires constant maintenance for aging parts, it is worth every bit of effort. Every time I replace a part, the car runs like brand new again. The performance, power, durable body, and engine are simply unmatched. I have no plans to sell or replace this vehicle; instead, I’ll continue replacing old parts to keep it on the road. I particularly appreciate the car’s built-in safety measures. For example, when there was a heat-related issue and a more recent problem with the spark plugs, the car was designed to shut down safely only once it reached a complete stop. This preventive feature likely saved the engine from catastrophic failure or fire. I plan to keep this car for a long time—as long as parts are available, I’ll keep it running!

Nice car

It is a nice ride, good to have it, since I bought it few years ago through an auction I have to go through a lot of maintenance, I saved money because I do DIY as much as possible. I like how it looks and how it rides

Way too friggin complicated

The X5 tries too hard to impress with sophisticated electronics that then proceed to fail. I sincerely believe such manufacturers are doing a disservice to their customers when they overreach like this. Back to basics first!
