Book on Repair and Exploitation Bmw X5

For the first time, the BMW X5 was introduced in 1999 in Detroit. In 2000, the car began to sell in Europe. It was the first SUV from BMW. The first generation of the BMW X5 was produced from 1999 to 2006. All the features of handling this car can be found in the manual for repair and maintenance of the BMW X5 1999-2006 car of the Ukrainian publishing house Monolith .
This is an off-road car BMW X5 difficult to name, because in the first place is an elite high-speed car, with a versatile spacious body, well equipped with devices. The main consumers of cars of this class are Americans.
The BMW X5 is one of the most "packaged" cars. Power of power units up to 360 hp, permanent all-wheel drive, five- or six-speed manual gearbox or adaptive automatic. In addition, most of the cars on our market are equipped with an adjustable air suspension system, stabilization system, ABS system, automatic speed control during descent. Salon X5 fully corresponds to the rich technical equipment. All cars are equipped with an ignition key with an immobilizer, climate control, an on-board computer with a large multimedia screen, eight airbags. Finishing materials - leather and natural wood.
In 2004, restyling was carried out, after which the X5 changed not so much the appearance as the character. The all-wheel drive became "intelligent" - to replace the free inter-axle differential came multidisk clutch with electronic control. Now the moment between the axes is redistributed with the help of a coupling. This clutch also helps the machine to fit into the turns.
Also, all-wheel drive improved the car's behavior on snow-covered and dirty roads. However, a serious "rogue" it should not be called, in particular because of a small clearance, automatic transmission and a short suspension.
The body of the BMW X5 is a bearing, with subframes in the area of fastening the rear and front suspension. The quality of the metal is so good that rust can not be found even on cars of the first years of production.
The visibility from the driver's seat is not bad, thanks to the high landing, although the wide front pillars block the view when cornering. All controls are located at hand.
The most common motor on our market is 4.4 liter with a capacity of 286 hp. And the M62 index (from 1999 to 2004) or N62 (since 2004). Also popular is the 4.6 liter engine with a capacity of 347 hp. Less common is a 3.0 liter power unit, whose power is 231 hp. The turbodiesel in volume of 3,0 l, capacity of 184 hp. Or 218 hp. Has excellent traction and economy - 6.9-11.1 liters per 100 km of track.
The resource of engines as a whole is 300-400 thousand km. All power packs "do not like" poor-quality fuel, so they need to clean the injectors, and extremely high-performance means and not use ultrasound. This also applies to diesel injectors.
All cars X5 have a permanent all-wheel drive. Non-blocking asymmetrical center differential and single-stage distribution do not cause censures in operation. Similarly, the multi-plate clutch that replaced it in 2004 behaves in the same way.
Almost all BMW X5 are equipped with five-speed automatic transmissions up to 2004 and six-speed automatic transmissions since 2004.
Officially, AKP is considered unattended, but to prolong its life it is recommended to replace filters and oil in it every 50 thousand km.
The car is harsh on irregularities, because the running gear is sharpened for high-speed driving along the road.
Ground clearance of 185 mm is small for easy overcoming of gullies, however electronic systems effectively help to overcome snow-covered and wet country roads. The lifespan of the running gear depends on the style of the driver's meal.
BMW X5 - cool off-road good pedigree, comfortable and fast.
