@Rahimdad Thanks for reminding that I didn't login for a while lol.
@Jeh Bro they are quite cheap like any other car,
I have 2006 x5 v8 4.4
If u r buying a pre owned car just make sure u get it computer diagnosed before buying not the rta passing.
It gives u clear idea what u r buying.
I have owned x5 for 14 months, nothing has been repaired other than break pads, break booster or refill of ac gas.
Running strong roaring on road.
If u r OK buying used spare parts it will turn cheaper than Japanese repair. Sounds funny but truth.
My duster used to cost me a fortune even for regular repairs as compared to x5.
Only thing is petrol is little on higher side.
I am not a fan of saloon cars much so won't comment on 3 series but 5 series v6 is a good car.
Rest x5 is never meant for off roads so don't try and screw your car it's very powerful lion on road but risky for deserts.
U will love this ultra performance machine if u own.
But on a verdict if saloon ,mercs are a more affordable option in long run.
All the best
