The DPF particulate filters about to clog on that, so if you don’t want that car to be disabled and stranded, delete the particulate filter and get the x5 tuned!

Randy my friend, It’s beautiful! $6K? You stole it!

That BMW M57 straight six turbodiesel is generally a really solid unit

I just bought the same 2012 X5 Diesel at an auction in Ct. For $6600. I love the car. Had 1 issue with an electrical malfunction message. Lost all my gauges. And all the warning light came on. Cost me $650 at BMW to repair corroded wires in the rear hatch. Funny same exact color. Good luck with yours Randy! Great cars!

It has Run Flats... No Spare Tire needed

Absolutely love my ‘04 X5 3.0i. It still runs and drives as good as the day I drove it off the showroom floor. There’s something about the X5 that just sets it apart. It drives like a 5 series sedan but has the utility of an SUV.

Damn what a great score on this SUV! ACV auctions has been treating you well and you got a good eye for neat cars!

You're gonna love the M57 ❤️ smooth, quiet and powerful engine.

The BMW has a dipstick in addition to the electronic oil level check. Its on the right rear, near the bulkhead as you look at the engine. I had two of these. Also, the Diesel Exhaust fluid lasts a long time. The truck will alert you when it has 900 miles of DEF left. This will give you enough time to refill it.

Love that you mix up the cars and trucks you bring home keeps things interesting

Love these high end Luxury car videos. One of the most asked questions is, is your BMW/AUDI/BENZ expensive to repair/maintain? etc and your answering those questions 🙏🏾😊

can you do a house restore vlog? painting the house it's really needed

Watching these videos makes me notice these cars on the road more.

Funny to see those plastic pieces in the armrest glovebox, those used to go over the cup holder area and were connected and you could pull them to cover that area, and those are always broken lol. Even my uncles X5 Diesel same year with XDrive35 or 40d had that broken. All these sounds and everything are so familiar. The check engine light could be O2 sensors? Least thats what threw the engine light on my uncles X5 when it ran perfectly fine. He also had troubles with the Turbo later going out and other stuff all in a span of 2 months or so. He sold it really quick after that and recently got a 2006 ML 350 as the replacement which is at the service right now for annual service. Another great video Randy!

Owned a 2011 X5D since new and now close to 100K -- great drive. Have the engine check light on and it for the Throttle Body. No performance issues so leave it on.

I wonder if it was lingering on the lot too long like others have mentioned for too much invested or did someone in the service department misdiagnose a problem and they moved it along with a red light? It will be interesting to see what you found wrong. Twenty twenty three is shaping up nicely with some really interesting vehicles. Another great video. Thank you.

As soon as i get a notification from Randy, i instantly stop watching the other video and switch. Great video as always.

Sorry to hear about the accident with the 40 chevy. Hope everything turns out ok. I will miss the Caddy. I still firmly believe it would have been a better more comfortable ride for power tour.

Seems like a good deal. These don't have temp gauge as they tend to run hot as normal operation, but there is a manual way for finding out. M57 by the looks of it. Quite tidy for the mileage

Interesting purchase Randy. I was interested in these when they were new even though I could never afford them, but the diesel engine made it intriguing with all that torque. I'm surprised you are playing cat and mouse with us on the trouble codes. Perhaps a bit of a tease for video #2 on the BMW X5 x35d. Of course I'll watch it.

That is a nice gift you got there. It wasn't sold, its a gift. Very nice

Gonna miss that 65 caddy it was cool car.

Keep up the great work. I love the BMW series. Sweet. Doing a great job.

Those newer looking parts towards the front of the engine is the EGV system that’s specific to this engine. I have a ‘13 with 86k miles and it’s runs perfectly. There is an extended warranty/service bulletin where BMW will replace the EGV system for up to 7yrs/100k miles from date of original service. It’s a big item too, $4-5k if you don’t get it done under warranty. There’s also a level sensor that goes bad in the DEF tank and you need to replace the entire system, not just the level sensor. Can be pretty expensive.

Good Video Randy Good Deal On The B M W Sorry To Hear About The 40 Chevy Hopefully You'll Have It In Time For Power Tour

Hi randy you never fail to entertain us keep the great work up

I enjoyed the video Randy, the BMW is a beauty 👍

That x5 might have a problem with the def system which can be costly, dealerships sometimes charge $500 to clean the def filter, it might need a new catalyst and both can be cleaned if you take it out and clean it with a high pressure water hose but you have to be careful with cleaning the def filter to much water pressure can destroy it, but the catalyst is expensive new 2k-5k depending on vehicle but you can try to find one used

Wow, what an incredible deal you got on that BMW X5!

I’m not a bmw fan, but I do like your x5 Randy! Loving the videos

Straight 6 Turbo Diesel AWD with a huge sunroof and that color is a car i'd own. Very nice ride.

Biggest issue with Diesels built since 2007 is the emissions systems. For the rest of it that is really low miles. I have the VW equivilent Touareg with the 3.0 TDI, also a 2012.

That straight 6 diesel , in this exact spec is something I've been looking for. Cannot find deals that good though :( This and the ML350 Bluetecs are interesting, even if people are scared of them. I had a 328d wagon N47 4 cylinder that was amazing.

Great deal brother clean Blessings..

I hope you enjoy Fast X with your mom! I loved it, and saw it twice. The BMW looks nice...good deal.

Excellent video

Another great steal!! Hopefully she's not hiding any secrets. Keep up the great content!!

Well Randy the interior on that is really nice and not even broken into surprises still has the leather grooves in the leather good find and it's a diesel this is a steel

Randy mention he would be buying better cars and he’s been doing a great job! Keeps me interested

Whoa that's an amazing deal 😲🤘🏽🔥

Amazing deal Randy 🖤😇

DEF, Diesel Exhaust Fluid. Particular filter is a part of the exhaust and emissions system

That is a nice X5. It sounds great.

Under 30mpg? Wow. I'm getting 31-34mpg depending on how I drive (almost zero city driving) but I did a bunch of digging and found that the 2015 year was the best balance for me in terms of cargo space and efficiency. (of course, I am nearly always in Eco mode, because I'm boring) The USB port would be for Nav updates, and music playback (I've got a 128g stick in mine currently) The 'plumbing' on the front should be your EGR stuff. mine was replaced due to a recall this winter. The main DEF port on the passenger side is the fill to the active tank. the port on the driver feeds the passive tank, which should not need to be filled under normal operation.' ---- Hopefully that code stays away, but looks like a solid car. It would would take a considerable sum of cash, or nicer car to offload my F15 generation. ENJOY THIS ONE!

Good luck buddy

You took it for a song, Randy. Those diesel engines are very popular here in Europe, and in many countries, it is possible to do a DPF delete like in the USA. With that mileage, it is a risk to keep it longer, but for car flipping is ideal. Sell it for a profit and call it a day. 👍

Code is caused by the EGR return spring or NOX sensor is my guess :) I have one of these X5's and love it.

Nice!!!!! I always wanted a diesel suv

Sweet, you got a Mitsubishi i- miev, can't wait to see vid.

I bet the reason it was dumped in the auction is because diesel prices or super high and nobody's really looking for diesel luxury vehicles right now

It was a 10 year old BMW with over 100k miles that's why they dumped it at auction ❗

Hi I have one o7 whit a lot of problems ! Please make a video whit your scanner and how diagnostic and found problems .

Hello I have one of them since new never got a problem, 2 years ago bought one for my brother pretty close to the price you pay by that one had issues with vacuum control to turbos so I’ve change everything on the vacuum side also deleted stage2 running since then absolutely np

Loving this and the Benz very interesting content cars!

I really like this one,. Would love to see what's causing the CEL and more of it.

Congratulations randy. I feel like coming down here and see this great cars collection.

Are you not able to get another title for the Kia seems a waste just sitting there

Sunshade is probably where the spare tire has to be my x7 has it in there it’s a storage compartment for it when you don’t use it

9:29 - The "Pierburg" marked thing is a vacuum pump and on its right is the EGR heat exchanger ✌️

Good videos and you are a good person positive.

In the VW TDI world kits are sold to delete the DPF system. Also maybe bmw has a special exyended warranty for dpf issues?

To fix a problem with M57 engines can cost you pretty penny. I owned dozens of e70 35d's in the past and at present working on 3 here in Florida and sure enough parts aren't cheap and most importantly not many Techs around who knows how to fix them

Enjoy with film 🎥 you're good man because you take care with your family 👪

Right on Randy u go bro

I used to own exact same car and i used to have the engine light on and almost 99% it was DPF issues. Quick tip if it is to take it out for long blast or get it professionally cleaned. Ps bought mine in uk

Raddy friend, I had the same problem when the machine was still new, so I solved it by replacing all the rotary pump seals. Maybe you too and the same problem (I hope) because the dde and a sensor from the engine management unit. Surely the first thing they will tell you after the diagnosis is to replace the pump. Let us know.

Nice car Randy.

Great deal randy

Those are insanely reliable!

good buy randy my uncle had one it is bulleproof he love it

Thermostat to go out on these bmw and they’ll run cold which will kill the DPF’s because it’ll run rich to try keep the temp up, I would drive around with scan gauge in with coolant temp reading on

The "35" designation is a twin turbo 3.0 litre inline 6 cylinder. Either gas or diesel. They can be in a 3 or 5 series. I love diesels. Mercedes or BMW.

This’ll be interesting! Another risk! Good luck randy! Love the video though!!!!

wait - was that a mitsubishi i miev? we've had those in the UK for years and they're also called the Peugeot ion here too. Keep up the awesome work randy!

A large Dealer doesn't generally work with finance companies on cars more than 10 years old. 6k is about what you should pay as redlight special at dealer auction at most for an x5 that old would have been 10k with no lights on the dash and a smaller used dealer would be the ones to get someone financed for it, and that still wouldn't be easy because its got more than 80k miles on a German vehicle. But it's an absolute steal at that price if you can retail it yourself and not have that CEL come back on. I would also recommend looking into open recalls, because diesel gate actually impacted all diesels sold in North America; my 13 s350 still has engine warranty until I hit 177k.

Absolutely fantastic deal at the moment anyway

Because the DPF filters usually go bad around 100,000 miles and it's very expensive to fix . That's why most of these BMW X5 diesels are traded in and sold cheap.

Very nice it was very common in Europe in diesel

Think you make a good deal with this BMW . Cheap for sure 👍

Awesome car

I've seen that movie you were talking about Fast X and it's a great movie

The BMW desiel looks good 😎😎👍👍

What type of OBD two scanner is that I would like to get one and doesn’t work with all makes and models even Mercedes Benz?

Wow $5k .. I bought one of these from an auction 6years ago for $5500 so good to see they haven’t lost anymore value in 6yrs… also there’s a reason they are so cheap.

Good luck with the BMW. 👍🏻 I bought a $75K 750iL for $3K years back. Worst car ever. 👎🏻 was constantly breaking, sold it the next year. And it looked like new also.

Cheep as chips , well done !

im thinking about getting this bmw x5 as my first car

It’s a shame the US doesn’t seem to adopt these smaller diesels. My dads got an f150 diesel with a 3.0 powerstroke in it, which is basically a Land Rover engine used in Europe ford redesigned for the f150. Such a fun truck and it gets like 27 mpg on the highway! These types of vehicles are very popular in Europe. I think you got a steal dude. Guessing the dealer let it go because of the year and mileage. They probably gave the customer like 5 grand for it, so they still made something or broke even. I bet a lot of bmw customers probably prefer gas. I love my diesels!

Best generation of X5 in my opinion. Hell of a deal.

I would like to see a profit and lose report on the sold cars :)

I love the X5. It’s beautiful. My next car will be a BMW. I have a Audi currently.

Hey Randy, kudos is always! Never miss a post you’re the best! Are these little BMW diesels as reliable and durable as other diesel? just had a thought, Randy, I know a monkey wrench Mike doesn’t have the viewers or the resources to buy vehicles Much over $1000 but what if you guys did a partnership on some cars

I'm betting that you can get that code resolved without too much effort. It might cost a couple grand, but you'll still be way ahead. My guess is the Austin dealer is so swamped that they didn't want to bother with this one, to you benefit!

That's a good buy

Nice car.😊

Randy, with the diesel prices, Im sure the dealership had a real hard time selling the used SUV. I think your going to have a PITA selling it as well. Enjoy it in the meantime though as for 6K its a deal.

Randy, i think u should keep the bmw for yourself! It's a beautiful and big car like u wanted

Hi Randy. Can we get a report on the sold cars? I enjoy your profit and loss videos

I like that S550

When I sold cars ALL trades and auction vehicles were inspected by the shop after it was cleaned. This was to protect the dealership and customers. I worked at 4 different dealers. So. Don't be afraid of shop tags.
