BMW's American-built SUV came in three models in the 2006 model year: the 3.0i with a 225 horsepower, 6-cylinder engine, the 4.4i with a 315 horsepower V8, and the 4.8is with a 355 horsepower V8. X5s have all-wheel drive without low-range gearing, and front side airbags and front and rear head-protecting tubular side airbags come standard.
Compared with previous versions of the X5, the 2006 models took critical hits, with professional test drivers complaining the car wasn't all that practical. "BMW knows that most luxury SUV buyers spend about as much time off-roading as they do in the 99-cent store," wrote one, adding that while the vehicle drives nicely and can carry five passengers comfortably, "it wouldn't be a good choice for home improvement projects or any other activity that requires serious cargo capacity."
I have a BMW X5 3.0 Litre Diesel Sport, which is not starting. The car opens as normal with the fob and the lights on the dash come on as normal but then when I turn the key to start the car it clicks once and all power is lost, with the only way of re-starting the car being to jump start it. Any help on possible solutions to repair the problem would be greatly appreciated.
I could use some help. I have a bmw x5 2006 with 113,000 miles. It was losing a lot of oil and the mechanic said it was a leak. He fixed the leak. The next week white smoke came out of the exhaust twice. Also now after 3 months after the repaired leak the car is out of oil. The mechanic said it's burning oil. He recommend placing a higher grade of oil. I am not sure this will be fix. Any other suggestions? Also I only saw the white smoke twice. Thanks in advance
ABS, Brake, 4x4 traction, and Trans failsafe prog, Engine failsafe prog, Service Engine Soon coming on in the car just all of a sudden. The car will not start on its on nor hold a charge. We tried jump starting it and it will start for awhile but after unplugging the cables it dies. What could be wrong?
I have a 2006 BMW X5 3.0 and the 4x4 light is on for no apparent reason. I took it to the shop and the mechanic has no explanation. He checked out the car extensively including hooking it up to a computer with no luck. Anyone ever experience this before?
