The BMW X5, especially from the 2006 model year, is known for developing oil leaks around the valve cover gasket, oil filter housing gasket, and oil pan gasket.

Cooling system issues

The cooling system components, such as the water pump, thermostat, and radiator, are prone to failure, leading to potential overheating issues.

Timing chain problems

Some BMW X5 engines have issues with the timing chain and its components, which can lead to significant engine damage if not addressed.

Fuel injector problems

Fuel injectors can become clogged or fail, leading to poor engine performance, rough idling, or misfires.

Vanos system issues

The Variable Valve Timing system (VANOS) can experience problems, resulting in reduced engine performance and efficiency.
