The BMW X5 is equipped with a timing chain. It is recommended to replace the coolant every 60,000 miles, and the air filter should be changed between 15,000 to 30,000 miles. Spark plugs should be replaced at 100,000 miles unless they are copper, in which case they should be changed at 30,000 miles. Various engine issues can arise, such as loose gaskets needing tightening, spark plugs coming loose causing problems, and oil leaks that should be promptly repaired. Excessive oil consumption may necessitate earlier oil changes. A critical concern is engine overheating, which can lead to fires and even car explosions.
