Problems:

Oil leaks

BMW X5 engines are known for developing oil leaks, especially from the valve cover gasket and oil filter housing gasket.

Timing chain issues

The timing chain on the N55 engine (commonly found in BMW X5s of this year) can stretch or fail, leading to engine performance problems or even severe engine damage.

Fuel injector problems

The high-pressure fuel injectors can fail, causing rough idling, poor fuel economy, and misfires.

Water pump failure

The electric water pump is prone to failure, which can lead to overheating and potential engine damage.

Turbocharger issues

The turbocharger can develop problems, such as wastegate rattle or failure, leading to reduced engine performance.

Carbon buildup

Direct-injection engines like the one in the BMW X5 can suffer from carbon buildup on the intake valves, causing rough idling and performance issues.

Thermostat failure

The thermostat can fail, causing the engine to overheat or not reach optimal operating temperature.
