BMW X5 E70 Buying Guide: What It Costs to Fix

What this guide covers
This guide covers the E70 X5 with the engines named on our repair pages: the 35i (N54 and N55), the xDrive50i (N63), the 4.8i (N62) and the xDrive35d (M57). The chassis page is BMW E70 repair costs. The costs are owner reports, not failure rates.
Air suspension
Look for a rear that sags overnight, a suspension or chassis warning, or a compressor running constantly. Replace both sides together and pull the compressor fuse before starting. A Canadian dealer quote is noted on the page but not counted. See X5 Rear Air Suspension Bags.
Owners priced the rear air suspension, oil leaks on the 35i, the coolant lines, valve stem seals and timing chain on the 50i, and the EGR cooler and DPF on the 35d.
