Buying the 2002 BMW X5
CarmaCars is a rental company and does not have the 2002 BMW X5 for sale right now. Rent one for a week first, or ask us to look for one. For anyone shopping for the 2002 BMW X5, here are the facts that matter.
What to check on the X5
There are 4 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done. Ask for the service records and check open recalls by the VIN. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace.
Engine and fuel
Its powertrain is the 3.0L 6-cylinder with all-wheel drive. It calls for premium gas, which costs more a litre than regular. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.
At 14.7 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 44 litres of fuel. A weekend of 300 km comes to about $77.19 at our price setting. At US fuel prices, the EPA estimates US$5,150 a year for 15,000 miles.
Best uses
It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else. It suits anyone who needs a car for a few days, a week or a month without buying one.
What the X5 is like
It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.
Rent it for a week first
Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience. Rent the X5 for a week, or up to 365 days, before you commit to buying one. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
Year and trim
Within the 2002 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. If two trims share a powertrain, the difference is equipment, which you can check in person. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
The cost of driving it
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. Get an insurance quote for this exact model before you buy; rates differ a lot between models. A 1,000 km month costs roughly $257.30 at our price setting.
