Thinking of buying the 2016 BMW X5?
We are a rental company, not a dealer, so there is no 2016 BMW X5 for sale by us right now. CarmaCars does not finance cars. Renting is not a loan, so there is no credit check to rent. Thinking about the 2016 BMW X5? Here are the numbers in plain words and what to check.
Before you sign for the X5
Have a mechanic inspect a used one before you buy it. 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. Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked.
The figures, translated
It runs the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo, with all-wheel drive. It runs on diesel, sold at most highway stations. All-wheel drive sends power to all four wheels, which helps on snow and wet roads; good tires still matter most.
It is rated 9.3 L/100 km combined: about 28 litres every 300 km. A 300 km round trip costs roughly $43.26 at our price setting. The EPA estimates US$3,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles.
The X5 in everyday use
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Best uses
It suits a stretch of weeks between selling one car and buying the next. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
A longer test drive
Rent first, buy later: a week with the X5 answers the big questions. Renting first costs a fraction of the price of buying the wrong car. Rent it, live with it for a week, and decide with real experience.
Running costs
Ask what a set of tires costs for this trim; sizes and prices vary. The EPA estimates US$3,850 a year in fuel for 15,000 miles at US prices. At our price setting, 100 km costs about $14.42 in fuel.
Which one to look for
Ask the seller which trim it is; badges can be swapped and options vary. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Write down the VIN of any car you consider; it unlocks the recall and service history.
Next step
Ask about renting first, and buy with a clear head.
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 2016 BMW X5 from us first.
