Anyone who owns a BMW 3, 5 or X-series with a 6-cylinder engine (turbocharged or non-turbocharged) that is out of warranty should plan to budget. I was told this at the car service when I said I was going to buy a BMW x5. What are your thoughts on this purchase?

The older the car, the higher the maintenance costs. That's why I advise you to buy a maintained new year BMW x5 car on the web resource https://imagineautos.com/used-bmw-x5-in-illinois . Generally, you get what you pay for and a cheap BMW will probably cost you more in the long run than you are saving now. Are you sure it's a BMW you want to buy?
