    2013 X5 35d Purchase

    Hello all,

    I am looking at this car in the all wheel drive version. In the past, I know BMW had issues with the xDrive. I wanted to know if those issues had been solved by the 2013 model year, or if they are still good to not have.
    Any other thoughts on a 35d?

    Thank You

    Go for the newer version of BMW X5 redesign, I think it is worth waiting.

    I think that thr X Drive issues have been resolved and you're safe getting the 2013. As another pointed out, the redesign is coming soon; so it may be worth waiting for it if your budget allows it.

    I have a 2010 diesel and love it. The torque is amazing and fun to drive. I have no problem with the winter and 20" wheels perform well in the snow. Diesel engines are very reliable, I'm not a fan of the new design but that's my choice.
