Hey Bros!
My X5 E70 2009 drinks about 5.8 to 6.1 km/L.
Think depend on driving habits and whether city or highway. Mine is more on city....
Will check on vacuum valve thou.

Re: Any X5 owners here?

oh wow, so the X5 really drinks quite a bit of petrol ah ?

Re: Any X5 owners here?

Mine after 2 over mths.. About 6km/L. For the feel, comfort and capacity think it is ok. Don't buy bimmer if fuel consumption is a concern..

Re: Any X5 owners here?

Any mod done anyones? Can share? I Juz changed my spark plugs and coils + air filter + install my old sprint booster... Response and power significantly improved!! Not sure if Powerbox better? Anyone has experienced both?

Re: Any X5 owners here?

To be fair to the car, it's 1.8m high, almost 2m wide, 2.1tonne and a All Wheel Drive, u don expect the consumption to be a in the 1 Series league. 16L/100km for the xDrive35 is about correct.

They All say it's faster than a M3 off the line.... when the road is totally wet and when CTE is flooded again

Need to wait for another 50 years for a flash flood. Sometime 50 years will just flash by

Re: Any X5 owners here?

For benefit of potential X5 owners, my experience with my 2009 XDrive 3.0i is clocking 6.1km/L but $160 full tank with 95 RON @$2.16/L for about 420+km. ..
