2016 x6 3.0d. 70k miles

[Ozzy]

Thinking of buying one of these, any problems to look out for, do they have timing chain issues, thanks

Hi Paul

Welcome to the Forum

BMW in their wisdom !! Moved the timing chain to the rear of the engine so it's an engine out job if there are any timing chain problems.

Having said that if the car has a solid history plus any evidence of interim oil changes you should be fine. I am personally not a fan of extended service periods so my 3.0d X5 (same engine and trans) gets an oil and filter change every year regardless of miles covered (current 133k) or what the service schdule says

Hope its what your looking for if it is ENJOY

Thanks Dave, I had a 2015 x5 3.0d with 98k on it, had to change the chain on it, mechanic said it needed changed he could hear a swooshing sound whatever he meant by that, just wanted to know if the x6 was the same engine
