Two problems related to other fuel system tank assembly have been reported for the 2009 BMW X5. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
2009 BMW X5 diesel passive tank failed. I told the dealer and called BMW customer care and told them this is emmisions related and they should have replaced it when they replaced the active tank a year ago. BMW diesels will not pass smog due to defective designs of the active and passive tanks that contain def. The sensors are located inside the tank and cannot be replaced by an over the counter BMW part. Hence the whole tanks have to be replaced. BMW customer service is not willing to help and basically told me to go buy another brand which I will after owning 4 BMW. BMW should be heavily investigated for designing a poor emmisions system found in the BMW X5 and 335d diesel vehicles sold in the USA. Shame on you BMW for screwing your loyal customes.
I own a BMW X5 diesel 2009 model year, sometime 2012 the def active tank was replaced as covered by recall. Now it has started to give the same cel code ( active tank temp sensor failure). The replacement for this issue is very costly. This is part of emissions and BMW does not want any replacement without any cost to consumers.
