Used BMW X5 for Sale in Stoke-on-Trent

About the BMW X5

The BMW X5 is a large five-seat SUV that has been part of BMW's range since 1999, sitting above the X3 and below the X7 in the company's line-up. The examples on this page come from the third generation, codenamed F15, which was built from 2013 to 2018 and was the first X5 to be offered with a choice of petrol and diesel engines alongside all-wheel drive as standard across most of the range. It combines a practical, high-riding body with a driving position and handling that BMW buyers tend to expect.

The two diesels listed here cover the most common choices. The 3.0-litre six-cylinder xDrive30d offers strong, relaxed pulling power and is well suited to long motorway journeys and towing. The 2.0-litre four-cylinder xDrive25d is the more economical option, with lower running costs and a smaller tax burden, though it feels less effortless when fully loaded. Both are fitted here in M Sport trim, which adds sportier styling, firmer suspension and a more focused cabin look.

Owners often praise the X5's comfortable ride, roomy interior, quality materials and secure, confident handling for a car of its size. Boot space is generous, and the seats are supportive over long distances.

When looking at a used F15 X5, check the full service history and ask for evidence of timely oil and filter changes. Diesel models should be checked for smoke, rough idling and any warning lights linked to the particulate filter, especially if the car has mostly done short journeys. Test the air suspension if fitted, check the electronics work properly, and look for uneven tyre wear, which can point to alignment or suspension issues. Get an independent inspection if you are unsure.
