The 2015 BMW X5 for buyers

CarmaCars rents cars and does not sell the 2015 BMW X5; this page helps you judge it before you buy one elsewhere. This page puts the 2015 BMW X5 in plain words for buyers: what it uses, what to check, and how to try one first.

What to check on the X5

In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. Owners filed 152 complaints with NHTSA, most often about engine, fuel/propulsion system and fuel system; have those parts checked. There are 6 NHTSA recall campaigns on file; a dealer can check by the VIN whether each was done.

Under the hood

Power: the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo; drive: all-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. With all-wheel drive, it pulls away more surely on slippery roads, though it does not stop any shorter.

At 8.8 L/100 km combined, a 300 km drive takes roughly 26 litres of fuel. At our price setting, driving 100 km costs about $13.64, and a 300 km weekend about $40.92. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.

Good uses for the X5

It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a work trip where a reliable car matters more than anything else.

Space and size

It offers the space of an SUV with the height that makes loading easy.

Try before you buy

Rent the X5 for a week and see how it fits your life. A week with the X5 answers more than any brochure. Load it with your things and park it where you park; then decide.

Year and trim

Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. Within the 2015 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which. Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay.

Money matters

Tires, brakes and batteries are the regular costs to budget for beyond fuel. Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,550 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices.

Next step

A week with the car can save a costly mistake: request it now.

Rent it for a week before you buy

A week of your own driving tells you more than a test drive: the commute, the parking, the fuel. Rent a 2015 BMW X5 from us first.
