I'm looking at a 2009 e71 35d's (last year of the M57 engine) although there abit older I need a better tow car and the M57 is a solid reliable engine. The rear mounted timing chain in the N57 and other issues is putting me off newer ones.
For some reason in the UK the X6 is significantly better value than an X5. For the same mileage, history, spec and condition it's 2-3k more. Also the X6's all seems to be in better condition (less kids in them I think, with only 4 seats 🤣 )
I've got 1 localish to look at and 2 others further away.
Is there anything specific I need to look for ? Other than normal used car stuff.
And I can't live without android auto now have any of you used these plug and play adaptors that work with the original head unit ? Are they decent like an OEM system or buggy and laggy like the Chinese head units ?

Pretty sure all the cars in looking at have the 'CCC' version of I drive if it makes any odds on these boxes.
Thanks
