I BOUGHT A HIGH MILEAGE BMW X5! Mistake?
I bought a high mileage 2013 BMW X5. Mistake?
In this video i talk about the pro's and cons to high mileage cars. The subject of the video is a 2013 63 reg BMW x5 3.0d M Sport with 193,000 miles on the clock! I also get the wheels refurbed during this video back to their original factory diamond cut finish.

Wednesday video gang 🔥 Thanks for all your support people. You lot are sick 🙏🏼👌
Well put it like this, at least if YOU were offering me a high-miler..... I’d trust you ! 👍👏
Dude, you are one of the most honest dealers in the world. Period!
Calvin you said the discovery felt gutless in comparison can we get draggy times in that too please?
@@gregaaron5462 good shout I’ll try and get them posted in my insta story in the next few days mate.
Always enjoy watching your videos Calvin mate....the x5 has done it mileage well...I thought maybe 120000 at the most mate👍
Let's all agree that a high millage car is much less risky than a high millage woman 😂
The more you abuse the car the stronger it’ll get.... I’ll not repeat the second part to that 😩🤣
FACTS
You're not wrong there mate
@@ray5952 my guy ray knows 🤣
😅🤣
You would never believe the X5 has done nearly 200k miles by the exterior/interior condition.
Really enjoying the content at the moment calv! BINCA diaries and these kind of videos really interest me. Editing is on point as always👍🏻
I think newer cars with high mileage are nothing to shy away from, I’ve always bought high mileage car a few years old and they make great buys never had an issue
Probably because they are highway driver vehicles. Doesn’t damage the engine and the gearbox nearly as much as city driving. And also less time is spent in the vehicle as it’s going faster, so it gets worn less in the interior! Also people don’t want high mileage cars so they are much cheaper
@@matthisalbert it's very unusual to get a car to that kind of high mileage if you're just doing city driving in such few years. Unless it's constant on the road without break which is unnatural
Never driven this gen X5. Drove the 1st and 2nd gen. switched my SQ7 for the new shape X5 Quad Turbocharged X5 M50d and still love it. But even this gen which apparently isn’t as good as the one it replaced or anywhere near as good as the new shape, it still has so much road presence and looks timeless 🔥
The real question Calvin is, as a reseller do your get more customer complaints/returns with high mileage vehicles?
I'm coming up tomorrow from Cornwall just because you are being so honest with your videos 👍
Always positive confidence on your craft mate 👊🏼
I had one of those from 2017. Not with the M-Sport spec though. Loved it. Only had it for 3 years and drove 30.000 miles, but knew it had hardly been run in by then.
I didn't like the look of your videos at first, but you have got me hooked! I bought my dream car in 1998. 84k in 2.5 years. It was my bosses company car, perfect service history. Owned it for 21 years. Still going strong at 180k. Not rusty because it was always garaged. Guess the make....Alfa Romeo 155. I loved it that much, part of the sale agreement was I get to drive it once a year 😂
Another great video Calvin. As always. Those refurb'd wheels look fantastic. 👌
Just found your channel, liking your honest discussion and insight ✊👌
A fairly new 3 litre diesel with low owners and high mileage has got to be a pretty safe bet. Good that its got history. Proof that 100k cars aren't as worrying as people think they are
"But if you're on a bit of a budget and you want to give it large" 😎 quote of the week 👍🏻🤣
Great video Calvin! Love the X5 :D
Yes calv 💙 loving the videos mate
If buying on a budget (as most of us are) would you choose high mileage over lower mileage but older? I have bought older low mileage examples and they can be a bit hit and miss.
My first 'nice' car was a 2005 BMW 318ci in the same blue. It was facelift with the LED taillights and i loved it!
I tend to always buy higher mileage cars as long as they have been looked after. I recently bought a high ish mileage A6 allroad bitdi and it has loads of options, was well looked after and it was the cheapest in the uk when I got it. 👍😎
Great videos Calvin take care bro 🔥
Lovely video mate. I might be being stupid, but I am doubting that that x5 30d was 92k from new, considering the new ones around 60k?
Thats actually a really good specification X5...panoramic sunroof, harmon kardon, heated steering wheel, 4 way heated seats wow... that is lovely
Love the vid Calv!!
The cold weather package, is a pair of gloves for when it needs pushing.
🤣😂 underrated comment
Awesome video as always Calvin.cracking x5, but unless you’re giving a 12 months gold warranty, sorry high mileage is a no no. Having said that I would buy and have brought a high van before. Love the channel, great content. Thanks for sharing pal.
Loving the content recently calv! And nice to see a weekday video back, absolutely lost during the week 😅
Calvin and those mints hahaha!! I remember a old video when the skyline got tuned and the tuner kept on eating your mints..Classic
Cal loving ur channel bro 👊
Great video calv! I'm in the market for a x5 40d in my price bracket most have medium to high miles around 80k ish definitely makes me feel better knowing this has nearly 200k!
Calvin doing his best to sell this X5 in the vid 🤣 Good content, keep it up!
Special breed being a dealer 👏and on the high mileage never put me off ,has long has its been looked after,one of the best cars I had was a golf mk 2 gti with over 100 thousand
Loving the vids Calvin . I do music but car trade on the side . You da inspiration bro
These gen x5’s are so reliable. We’ve had our 2015 model for 70k miles and have had 0 problems
Considering one of these, nice to see it on high miles
Enjoyed that mate 💯🇬🇧
Great video bruv, @ 14.24 "wanna give it large " love it mate
Top upload again 👍👍
great vid man! By any chance do you have the link to the website/service that you used to see the vehicles original options and price?? Thanks again
Just watched your X5 vid. Excellent info and great fun! Don’t be frightened of high mileage as a user. I have had E class Mercs on 215k and 180k. Buy parts on eBay and either fit DIY with YT vid or get an Indy to fit. Happy Days
My beautiful X5 is going great 👍🏻, 217 miles , had to get the serpentine belt and ccv valance changed with a new oils change and it’s going strong 💪
What model please?
@Calvin ..what do you think mate...a categorised low mileage car..or high mileage hpi clear car with low owners/good history? whats a better buy if you're on a tighter budget?
Excellent video as always Calv. Got a question here, on HPI checks etc what is DVLA millage? I've not been able to find out exactly who enters it besides it's entered by the general public
Dvla mileage is when it enters auction, or when you fill in the logbook it has a section for mileage and people fill it in that’s where they get the information.
We all love a high-mileage hero. X5 looks great on that mileage, when they're well cared for they will serve you well.
This is quite beautiful. Any car can last you forever if you take good care of it
By the looks of them they haven't been looked after.
Any car can last forever if you throw enough money at it.
@@gravemind6536 I mean every car requires servicing & repairs, that's just what the maintenance of anything is. You could sell a car you don't want to fix for one that has no issues, only for it to later on inevitably have issues - or, you can get a lease where you are hassle free, but pay the premium of it.
Have you ever driven a VW Golf TDI -knackered after 40k miles
@@Sabhail_ar_Alba Complete bull.
In 2019 I bought a 12 plate X5 xDrive35i fully loaded with 77k mi. I drove it to 119k mi and spend almost 7k in maintenance then I traded it in for a 66 plate X5 xDrive35i M Sport fully loaded that had 38k mi. Now I have 56k mi and I absolutely love it mate. I have to say those BMW diesels are bulletproof, my petrol 3L might become less reliable in the future but I'm still very happy plus that M Performance exhaust sounds amazing!
Heated steering wheel maybe in the cold weather package?
I’ve had my bmw 2 years and never new about that feature on the harman speakers 😂😩
We have friends who had a 2003 X5 which had done 300k miles when they finally got rid of it. They'd owned from new and it drove like a car with about a quarter of that mileage
Hey Calvin, I know you said each to their own and it depends on the individual car but if I told you I wanted to spend £12k on a facelift 2016 Audi A3 1.4l s line with every factory option you could think of like a pan roof and an virtual cockpit, but it had 85k on the clock, would you say I was being stupid with my money, or would you say it's a good ideal as long as the car was in good nick? Thanks man
Yes bruvvvvv, Wednesday videos are back #Calvin is Onit 😂
Solid vid good quality info
I’ve never had a problem with high mileage cars as long as there’s a decent service history. I bought a sept 14 ,Volvo v60 d4 r-design at exactly 4 years old with 138000miles on it, for £7000, spent £400 getting new timing chain and service, and it’s now done 160000miles and probably deprecated less than £1000 a year. No brainier.
Calv i agree i love buying high kms and finding that perfect high km car then telling everyone about how good it is !!
Looking forward to this one it’s my next car next year ! Sorry tuned in late but father duties and trip to Primark 🤣
Quick question: I have an Audi s3 and it’s been off the road for around 3 months.. I start her up every few days.. thinking about it I’m sure you wouldn’t start all of your cars every few days, how often should I start her and let her ticover? And then for how long.. Cheers
Good video bro!!
High mileage. Have very low Part Exchange value. Anything over 120 and the dealers offer peanuts. This is the experience I have had. Great content, thanks for sharing 👍
What about Van's? I have a Ford transit H3 L3 on a 67 plate. I got it with 4k on it and now With 566k on the clock. Only have the normal service and belts, pads and tyres changed. Still on the original clutch too
Theres a Mondeo Estate minicab running around where i live that did 730,000 miles before it was put out to pasture. It still looked decent when it was sold off.
Hi Calvin What auction Did you buy the BMW in
I sold my 2004 Mercedes C220 CDI 5 years ago with 215k on the clock. After your video Calvin, I used MOT Checker to see if it's still running, and it is! But the last MOT shows 145k on the clock. How does that work, I wonder?
He's speaking facts 💯 old is gold 🌟 If it's been looked after 👌🏼
Very interesting clip. I very recently regrettably sold my 57 reg TDCI 2.0 Ford Mondeo which had 213,000 miles on the clock and drove like a new car and I never for once had any issues with it, apart from the regular servicing, and I had changed the timing belt. I only sold my beloved Mondeo because it would not pass the ULEZ requirement due to start in October this year in many parts of London. I have travelled the length and breath of the UK with my Mondeo and never one day did l have to call the RAC to rescue me. What a lot of people don't realise is that as long as one upon buying a high mileage car, immediately gives the car a good service (oil filter, air filter & plugs in the case of petrol cars) most importantly changing the timing belt/chain, and subsequent regular servicing, the engine will go on forever. Surprisingly quite a number of people don't know a lot about cars and only judge a car's reliability on it's reg or mileage. I think you should also do a video on "Should l buy a newer or older reg car"?? A lot of people judge a cars reliability on the reg of the car. I travel a lot and I have seen countless of high reg cars ie 67,68,or 69 cars break down and are on the hard shoulder. This is because people who drive these cars think because the car is new, nothing will go wrong.
don't these have big issues with the delphi injectors?
Hi mate, what app did you use to check the optional extras of the car cheers. Great video!
I’m thinking the same
Some of the best cars I've had have been high milers. My favourite has to be my old 07 merc c220 cdi. Had full merc history, very few marks and bought with 240 odd k and sold at 253k just because I got given a company car. Miss that merc
I think it depends on how well the owner has looked after the car e.g regular service, wear and tear items changed over, well valeted and not treating it like a rally car 😉
So true. There's a lot of M50d's on the road which have been used for the school run and to make the wife look important. 🤣😂 In 5/6 years they'll have done low miles but been poorly serviced. People may think they're getting a great car but will probably get problems due to car not being uses appropriately.
Most of the cars fors sale on your website have over 100,000 miles but Im still interested in bying a car from you because i believe you wouldn't rip me off!!! keep up the good work
love your take on this one bro! I agree that high mileage cars are not necessarily a bad thing!
They are great but only when bought for the right money and hopefully been well looked after
Depends how the miles were clocked up if they are city miles then thats a lot more wear and tear than if its all motorway miles. Rural miles are ok but not great either.
I have an Audi A4 s line 2009- it has done 206000 miles and it pulls like new. I love it.
Calv do you have a video coming up soon with the e46 m3 wagon?
Can you recommend anyone for wheel refurbishment and a seat specialist I have a mk2 focus ST3 and the drivers leather seat stitching coming apart on the upper bolster closest to the door so need that doing
You might be able to help me. I’ve got a 2013 x5 30d which is ULEZ non compliant and my mates got a 2012 x5 30d which is ULEZ compliant. Any idea how an older version is compliant?
I have a 2010 40d E70 with 120k on the clock. The engine is fine but the electrics have started to play up. I've had to change the diversity antenna 3 times in the last 5 years. Also In hot weather the rear camera is fuzzy and power rear door refuses to open fully. Overall it's served me well, but just disappointed with the electrical problems.
I used to buy a lot of high mileage cars but they can be hard to sell. I have just got in a nice 2010 bmw x1 in black with black leather, on 153,000 the engine sounds like it's done 30,000, does not smoke at all its the 2,3d twin turbo with 225 bhp as standard
Very nicely specked X5 tbh, but God what’s with the squeaking lol Is that the camera or the seats/trim?
Hello brother please advice should I buy 25000 miles driven x5 2016 .. the guy says he s had some knocking sound from the engine but the company fixed it for free as it was under warranty
Hi mate. I done hpi check on my car but they didn't give me optional extras list
190k bmw 640d gran coupe here , looks and drives absolutely mint !! If you covered the clocks you’d think it had done 50k !!! I absolutely love it !!
If you do buy a BMW used, you better have warranty added or you're screwed.
Im after x5 40f 2017 18 possibly? What sort of mileage to look for on these please?
Good video I always say high mileage is ok as long as the service history is spot on
I have BMW X5 F15 40d, current mileage 77kk miles, have it from 10kk miles. I have changed - both turbochargers, rear suspensions airbags, transmission seal. Don't know if BMW reliable, the last repair of both turbos was quite costly.... !!!
Great video aimed at people who can’t spend loads, well done👍
234k on a 2009 LCi 630i. Drives beautifully.
Calvin I'm in the market for a new car...cls 350d 2015 onwards preferably?
Hey I am just like you bought a high mile high spec car but it was worth it! I serviced it done few bits and its spot on even wear and tear was not bad so happy price was really good and i did not have any problems with it as long as everything is done on time !
That’s a perfect example. Some of them can turn out to be really good experiences for people 👌
Heated wheel = winter pack... yours also has adaptive LED headlights which is an option....
I actually want one of these suburban luxury tractors, after many years of driving sedans. This model in particular, X5 with the 3.0 diesel, looks the most appealing. Was also looking at the Audi Q5, both first and second generation, but not sure where to start with those engines.
I always buy high mileage BM's, however I don't usually go above 80k on the clock. But I'm looking for a second hand F15 X5 M50D fully loaded - adaptive cruise/headlights, TV, reverse cam, all seats heated etc. Given my budget, I think I'll have to be looking at mileage in-excess 120K. Thanks for the great video. 👍🏾
So at 120,000 miles I should be good?
They are great if have been regularly maintained 👍
Hey guys, what app did he use to look up car options and their prices? tnx
Had an 2007 audi a4 b7 2.0 tdi sline with 350000 ran and drive like brand new if there fully serviced regularly some engines are bullet proof 👌
Which app do you use for hpi check and spec?
My previous LC70 series was 323,000+km but the buyer considered it as a brand new product..
Those vw caravelle are used by alot of airports as shuttles. So most spend their lives up and down motorways, I've seen some with 500k miles and still drive perfect.
I need a reliable family car with a bit of go in it for £1600 by next week what would you buy or suggest?
I just bought a car from UK how can I do the check on the spec or can I pay someone to check it for me
Cold weather package is the washers for the headlights.
good video Calvin timings chain maybe
