Consumer Review Video - 2008 BMW X5 3.0si 3.0L 6 Cyl.
The 2008 BMW X5 3.0si is a relatively difficult vehicle to maintain, but shouldn’t be too hard for someone experienced in vehicle maintenance. Accessing the petcock for a coolant drain is difficult, as you will have to remove a large panel from under the vehicle. This will require you to contend with gravity as you complete. Keeping an eye on the brake fluid will be tough, as you will need to remove a cover in order to check the level. Changing the cabin air filter with reliability can be a problem, as you will have to use many tools.
Some things are easier on the 2008 BMW X5 3.0si. Changing the engine air filter is easy to do, as you only have to disengage a few fasteners for access to the filter. These fasteners are easy to disengage. Accessing the tail light bulbs is easy to do, as there is a designated access panel in the rear of the vehicle that is easy to remove. The components of the spare tire are easily accessible in the rear of the vehicle. This keeps the tire and jack kit ready to go in case of emergency.
