BMW X5 E53 is a rather old car, but it can always be improved and made so that it looks fresher, and if the car is painted and polished with high quality, the car will generally look like new. So tuning the BMW X5 E53 is a must.

In addition to improving the appearance, it is advisable to also make chip tuning of the BMW X5 E53 in order to increase the power, because the car is already old and does not drive much, even a more or less new Priora will do it, this is no good, so something needs to be done with the engine. then take. To improve the appearance, it makes sense to install new stylish wheels with new tires.

Also, when tuning, you need to pay attention to the head optics, it is better to replace it, put something modern, and the braking system can also be improved. With the help of tuning, you can fix some weak points in the BMW X5.

Depending on the engine, the price of the chip tuning will differ. There are 3 options here: 17,000, 21,000 and 24,000 rubles.

Those configurations in which there are 3.0 and 4.4 engines running on gasoline are tuned for 17,000:

The power of the 3-liter engine is initially 231 hp. with., after chip tuning - 251 hp. With. The torque is initially 300 Nm, after tuning the BMW X5 E53, the torque will be 330 Nm;

For those who have the BMW X5 E53 configuration: 3.0d and 4.6is, the price of such tuning will cost 21,000 rubles:

initially in the 3.0 d engine, the power was 184 liters. With. and torque - 410 Nm, after chip-tinning - the power will increase to 214 hp. sec., and torque up to 490 Nm;
there is also a second 3-liter diesel engine with a base power of 218 liters. sec., and a torque of 500 Nm, after chip tuning - the power will increase to 255 hp. sec., and torque up to 580 Nm;
there is also a more powerful engine - 4.6is with a base power of 347 hp. With. and a torque of 480 Nm. After chip tuning, the power will increase to 372 hp. sec., and torque up to 518 Nm.

The price of tuning the brake system is quite high - new brakes on one axle cost about 100,000 rubles, this is about original spare parts, similar spare parts can be found and 2 times cheaper. It is advisable to do brake tuning, because if the car drives faster, then it should brake better if something happens.

To make the car look more stylish, you just need to tint the front and rear lights, the cost of the front headlights will be around 20,000 rubles, and the rear ones - around 4,000 rubles.

The difference is so big, because in order to tint the headlights, you will have to completely disassemble them and tint the reflector, and on the taillights you just need to tint the glass and you don't need to disassemble anything.
Moreover, tinted headlights can be safely done, they will also illuminate the road well, because the lighting elements do not move during tinting. For tinting, use varnish or tinting film.

Also tuning BMW X5 E53 headlights is to install LEDs in the headlights, it all depends on the cost of LEDs and the work of the craftsmen.

Inside, the dashboard and everything that can be trimmed with carbon fiber, the interior will immediately change.
Alter the chairs with new leather, alter the ceiling with Alcantara, it looks good.
If the budget allows, then you can repaint the car, matte paint looks fashionable, but it is best to just paint and polish in order to achieve the outward appearance of a new car.
Install a multimedia system with a large display in the car, install a refrigerator and curtains.
For those who want their BMW X5 to become a unique car, you can also apply airbrushing or, in extreme cases, cover the car with foil.

Initially, the parking sensors in the X5 E53 are weak and often fail, especially when the bumper is removed, so either they must be removed altogether or new ones must be installed.

The radio tape recorder is under the spare wheel, there is a special niche for it, but this place is the lowest in the car, so if you drive through deep puddles, the radio tape recorder will flood, so it is better to move it to another place.

The X5 is not an SUV, but a crossover, therefore, its ground clearance is rather small, and the suspension does not really like off-road driving, so when tuning the X5 E53, you can install an air suspension if you don’t mind the money, but it’s better to just be off-road careful or buy a Toyota Land Cruiser 100, it is more suitable for off-road.

And then a video on how to do tuning BMW X5 E53:

Today under the heading "BMW Repair" we will try to fix a broken door handle on a BMW X5. Let's say right away - repairs can be both cheap and expensive, from an authorized dealer (6,000 rubles). We are not looking for easy ways and will try to solve the problem with our own hands, all the same, Xs quite often have problems with door mechanisms.

Moreover, it is not specifically the handle that breaks, but the silumin part (magnesium frame) inside it:

Temperature. The handle, especially after washing, is warm. And it's winter outside, -20˚C - the mechanism just freezes. It doesn't take a lot of force to break the frame inside of it. Usually, everything happens like this: on a cold winter day, you go out into the yard to your X5, as usual you pull the handle and something suspiciously clicks. Moreover, the door opens normally from the passenger compartment, but not from the outside.
Moisture gets into the mechanism itself, the parts freeze and are chained together, and then with a sharp movement you open the handle and everything inside is torn.
Wear. This is due to the wrong trajectory of movement of the outer handle during its opening. We kind of move it towards ourselves, and it must go up, because of this, the loop wears out and then it breaks.

If you go to the salon, then at least 6,000 rubles will be taken from you. We have collected the most popular repair methods:

Remove the trim. Strongly. Press on yourself, nothing will break.
Open the window completely.
Take out the ignition key.
Remove the pillow.
Pull out the plug completely (in the direction of the cylinder), not the small one.
Fold back the corner of the soundproofing.
Remove the lock cover from the end of the door.
Through it, unscrew the keyhole bolt, remove the keyhole by moving against the direction of the car.
Next, loosen the bolt on the outer handle and take out the handle from under it, and on the other side, take it out of the mount. At the same time, squeeze the frame mechanism (silumin) towards yourself. The outer handle should be open, so it is easier to remove it from the grooves.
Unscrew the bolt on the outside of the door under the rubber band of the handle. Then, from the inside, disconnect the frame cable (silumin). I also need to remove the lock cable, but I do not know where to find it there.
Unscrew this silumin frame.
Take it out and put in a new one, lubricated with silicone or pumped with a slice of 1 mm iron in the form of a ring.

Spare caps will definitely come in handy, we recommend purchasing a couple of pieces.

For non-illuminated knobs: Look for the LED on the wiring harness when the dimensions are on. All the same, you will disassemble everything.

You buy a magnesium frame yourself (2,000 rubles from an authorized dealer), remove the trim and have it serviced. They will take money only for work, which is about 1,000 rubles. Such repairs will cost us 3,000 rubles, which is half the price.

Before giving the frame to the service, fill it with silicone so that it does not break next time:

Watering the WD-40 handle or by other means does not help. Generally.

A piece of iron 1 millimeter thick, rolled up like a ring and welded at the junction. The work is difficult, but the result will last for a long time. And if it freezes, then something may come off in another place. We don't know which one, but time will tell:

Comments on article 12, leave your own:

Oh class, I recently read about the repair of an air conditioner fan and did not think that something else could break in the BMW. Renders the door handle just tears off in the cold)) tin and it is the Bavarian auto industry.

The fascists are somehow not thought out, my Logan does not even fall off at minus 40

Keep me four. At the very gangster's car, the door handles fall off.
Co-co-co, German car industry. Nothing falls off my Renault Logan, but you can also tie a motorcycle by the handle and everything will be fine. It opens in frost and cold, and you don't need to pour anything there.

Go ahead and ride your Logan and don't bother us here. By the way, don't forget to close the windows when I overtake you.

Logan can only buy @ ₽

Dear owners of Logans or any other cars, I am sincerely sorry that you are such beggars and cannot buy an expensive and comfortable car.
Therefore, envy is better in silence, you will pass for the smart, but it breaks down and any car has a variety of problems.

Dmitry welcome! If you have free time, we can cross, will you show live how to change the frame? I'll remember once and for all then)
And I still have a question, the door opens, but it's sooo hard, you have to pull the handle to the very end. is it a case in the frame?

Good day! Unfortunately, I have no time for this at all.
Contact the service station, ask to show, for example.

Thanks to the class, helped everyone and even friends!

Guys, tell me, can you make out everything if the child lock is also on? That is, the door does not open either from the inside or from the outside. At the sink, one mu..k somehow managed to snap it shut.

Everything is really simple, the author did not deceive), although it was scary to handle the pillow. You can add information about this to the article, for the user's confidence. Thank you, I love useful people, I myself try to help people. We were pleased with the branded wiring clamps) I have not seen this, it's nice to repair a car with such chips!

A used car is subject to natural wear and tear and failure of elements of various systems.

The more complex the design, the more questions may arise. The Bavarian brand was no exception. So, BMW X5 repair can greatly affect the wallet of its owner.

Its release was launched in 1999 in the United States, and a year later the model became available on the European market. Released as a rival to the ML-class Mercedes-Benz, the Bavarian was very different from him constructively.

It was the first vehicle in the SAV (Sport Activity Vehicle) class, which underlines its focus on dynamic driving rather than off-road functions.

The BMW X5, from a technical point of view, is a very complex car. And the abundance of electronic systems complicates the already complex design of the German crossover. But first things first.

From among the unpleasant: the uninformative and very tight clutch of the manual transmission, which takes a long time to get used to, as well as small side mirrors with poor visibility.
Despite the fact that the body successfully fights against corrosion, electronic contacts are susceptible to oxidation with the subsequent destruction of electrical equipment, the list of which is striking in its abundance.
A complete discharge of the battery can cause the factory anti-theft system to malfunction.

There are several drawbacks in power units: all motors are demanding on the quality of fuels and lubricants, since they are prone to oil consumption for waste, and the fuel equipment of the diesel version does not tolerate low-quality diesel fuel, which causes the fuel pump, pressure regulator and nozzles to suffer.

When servicing, use only recommended oils, the replacement date of which is indicated by the on-board computer. But due to the high sulfur content in the fuel, the service interval must be reduced to 8-10 thousand km.

This must also be done because traditional overhaul methods by block boring and BMW motors are incompatible.

The timing drive for all engines is chain. With a mileage of more than 250 thousand kilometers, the risk of repairing the chain, sprockets and tensioners of the drive of the proprietary variable valve timing system called Double Vanos in the BMW X5 increases.

The suspension requires special attention. Frequent visits to the service station will be associated precisely with its components. The ball bearings of the front levers are most susceptible to wear, which change every 35-50 thousand kilometers and only in assembly with them.

Silent blocks of the rear suspension, often referred to as "floating", do not last more than 60-70 thousand kilometers, after which there are unpleasant squeaks and knocks from the rear axle of the car.

The situation is even more complicated in the case of eight-cylinder engines, where an adjustable air suspension is used at the rear, and, on request, the front was also available. Despite the fact that it is generally considered very reliable, malfunctions are still noted. Their cause is most often the failure of the body position sensor.

The steering rack is extremely weak, which is not repaired - the entire assembly is changed. The procedure is expensive, which significantly affects the owner's budget.

But the steering tips and shock absorbers, on the contrary, are able to withstand up to 70-90 and 90-120 thousand kilometers, respectively.

Another costly one is the braking system. Due to the fact that the brakes are forced to perform two functions at once, stopping a fast and heavy crossover, as well as imitating the action of a differential lock, its components have to be changed much more often than usual.

In this regard, brake discs require replacement every 40-80 thousand, and front and rear brake pads - every 10-20 and 20-30 thousand kilometers, respectively.

The BMW X5 has always been a huge hit with buyers. The brutal appearance, dynamics and comfort provided the crossover with a confident level of sales. The second-generation model that replaced it was never able to gain this level of popularity.

And this is despite the fact that the E53 had a number of shortcomings that could significantly affect the wallet of its owner.

For a long time, the Bavarian crossover will be the standard of a dynamic SUV with sophisticated handling and luxurious finishing materials, but few can own it.

Visitors to my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/950 have a unique opportunity to take advantage of valuable advice from professionals in their field. After receiving competent advice, repairing a BMW X5 with your own hands will seem simple and uncomplicated operations.

Among the main repair procedures that the crossover undergoes during operation, the following stand out: mandatory oil change, timely replacement of spark plugs and automatic transmission oil change. Over time, it is also possible to replace the battery and replace the thermostat.

The mid-size SUV BMW X5 was first presented for review in 1999. The X coding in the name of the model denoted the equipment with all-wheel drive, and 5 - the platform (the X5 was designed on the basis of the 5-series of the Bavarian car industry).

The new crossover turned out to be much shorter than the BMW 5-series, but at the same time it became taller and wider. The body of the E53 was well suited for driving on a flat road and bumps at the same time. This also made it possible to make a large ground clearance. In terms of operation, the car did not cause problems, and do-it-yourself repair of the BMW X5 E53 was quite possible, even if the driver found himself far from living places.

The body of the E53 did not last long. In 2006, it was replaced with the E70 body, thereby making a generational change. BMW E70 was produced until 2013. Collected a crossover, like its predecessor in the States.

The new generation X5 was equipped with many different electric assistants:

this is the innovative X-drive all-wheel drive system, endowed with variable torque;
and DKU system;
and ABS, and much more.

In 2010, the X5 is undergoing restyling. The optics have been redesigned both at the rear and at the front, the shapes of the bumpers and fenders have been changed. As for the engine row, it also underwent a bulkhead (only the "charged" version M 4.4 l. Was left untouched).

The third generation X5 called F15 comes out in 2013. Despite the same platform and the same dimensions, the new crossover did not have a single body part in common with its predecessor, the E70. The interior of the car has also changed for the better. The salon now has genuine leather and a giant display.

Over the course of 14 years, the X5 has been changing all the time. If you look at the life cycle of the crossover from the outside, you can immediately notice how its technical equipment is improving (a simple 4x4 is replaced by an X-drive), the level of comfort (the crossover is becoming more and more similar to the BMW 7-series) and the dimensions of the body are changing.

According to most experts, progress is clearly visible. The manufacturer purposefully worked on this crossover model, bringing the X5 to perfection. If you ask an ordinary resident of our country which BMW crossover he likes best, then in 99% he will answer - "X fifth".

If you still have questions related to the replacement of certain parts and assemblies of a Bavarian car, the experts at my.housecope.com/wp-content/uploads/ext/950 are always ready to provide support. In addition, we recommend that you look into the BMW X5 repair manual, which provides valuable information.

The BMW X5 is a great car, but problems can arise with it. It is especially undesirable to deal with a number of breakdowns after the expiration of the warranty period. Moreover, the manufacturer has clearly calculated the period of time that the main parts and assemblies will work reliably and efficiently. This is what caused the installation of the warranty period, after which several problems often appear at once.

The brainchild from Germany is an all-wheel drive crossover belonging to business class cars. On the territory of Russia, there are models - with two types of diesel engines and a model with a V-shaped gasoline engine.

Most often, repairs are required to solve the problems associated with "oil starvation". A red lamp on the sensor lights up, which shows the oil pressure level, you need to turn off the engine and go to a car service.

Gasoline engines have an aluminum shell that overheats. This leads to frequent changes of the electronic thermostat. In addition, the radiator must be cleaned. If cleaning is not done in time, then you can subsequently overpay for repairs. These problems are common for the Six. But for the "eight" is characterized by the failure of the throttle valve.

Large and frequent problems can happen with an automatic transmission. Elastic couplings may deform.

If the BMW X5 has a mileage of 40,000 kilometers, problems begin with the chassis. It is necessary to carry out prevention. To begin with, it is important to subject the car to diagnostics, and then resort to a full-fledged repair. In such a case, such a procedure as replacing the ball joints will seem like a trifle.

The weak points of the BMW X5 include the suspension. She may burst, or the anthers will wear off. In addition, the tightness of the CV joint is often violated.

The mid-size crossover BMW X5 E53 is one of the most popular in its class in our country. Car enthusiasts appreciate its brutal appearance, comfort and luxurious exterior, excellent dynamics and reliability.Among the shortcomings of the model, one can note its dislike for our roads.
