Car financing: 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. We are not a lender and do not arrange loans. A monthly rental can cover the time while you arrange financing with your bank. Here is what to know about the 2016 BMW X5 before buying one.
Recalls and complaints
Look at the tires, brakes and battery; they are costly to replace. In Ontario, a used car needs a Safety Standards Certificate to be registered. NHTSA lists 5 recall campaigns for this model; ask the seller for proof each one was fixed. Owners filed 74 complaints with NHTSA, most often about electrical system, engine and unknown or other; have those parts checked.
Under the hood
The 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo is what moves it, with 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.
Combined fuel use is 9.3 L/100 km: about 28 litres for 300 km. In energy, every 100 km costs about $14.42 at our price setting. EPA puts its fuel cost at US$3,850 a year for 15,000 miles at US prices.
How big it is
An SUV body means more headroom and a taller cargo opening than a car of the same length.
Who the X5 suits
Families, skiers and anyone with bulky luggage. It suits a weekend away when the train does not reach where you are going.
Drive it on your own roads
Drive the X5 on your commute before you commit to it. Nothing is charged until we confirm the rental and you approve the offer. If it is in our fleet, rent it; if not, a similar car gives you a feel for the class.
What it costs to run
A 1,000 km month costs roughly $144.20 at our price setting. 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.
Which one to look for
Decide what matters most first: fuel use, space, or the price you can pay. If you are unsure between two options, rent one of them for a week first. Within the 2016 lineup, trims share powertrains or differ in equipment; the trim pages show which.
Ready to ask?
A rental request is free; the offer shows the full price.
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.
