Q: I have a 2005 bmw X5 and no manual, what is the procedure to program your garage door opener to the buttons?
A: Martin is correct, you wouldn't have found this procedure in the manual anyway. It came with the UGDO (Universal Garage Door Opener) itself when it was purchased and installed. But the exact same thing is at the website. Basically you hold the button for several seconds until it flashes, then hold your remote up to it and press its button. However, if you have a rolling code opener, it is a little different. Also, if the button you want to use already has a code in it, you will have to delete it. To do this, you have to delete all the old codes. That is in the procedure also.
Here is a simple run down which would probably work for you, but double check.
1. For first time training, press and hold the two outer HomeLink buttons, releasing only when the HomeLink indicator light begins to flash after 20 seconds. (Do not perform this step when training the additional HomeLink buttons.)
2. Hold both the handheld transmitter button and the HomeLink button you would like to program until the HomeLink flashes slowly then rapidly (then release both buttons)
3. Press and hold the HomeLink button you just programmed. If the garage door opens/closes then programming is complete. If it does not then proceed to step 4.
4. Get a ladder and press and release the “learn” button on the back of your garage door motor head
5. Within 30 seconds get back into your vehicle and press and release the HomeLink button you just programmed up to 3 times or until your garage door activates. Programming is complete.
Q: Purchasing a 2005 BMW X5 3.0. Price: 22,500 Mileage: 23,500, CARFAX reports rear accident, repaint?
Looks and drives great, not sure what to do.... I think $ 22,500 is a good deal but the accident worries me. thoughts????
A: I ran the info through Kelly Blue Book and it shows the retail price for my area to be around $27000. The accident might be why they have it priced so low. I would suggest taking it to a body shop and have them look it over. Personally even though it's a good, no great deal, I could not be satisfied knowing it had been wrecked. But you have to decide for yourself if that is something you can accept. But I would definitely go over it with a fine tooth comb before buying. Check the under carriage is it welded or spliced together. Look at the paint from all different angles, does the color look off in spots?

Q: A BMW in a lower income area?
I might be getting a 2005 BMW X5 for my 16th birthday. But I'm afraid that If I drive it to my high school, it will get F**cked. My family is rather wealthy and everyone in this area hates us for it, I'm afraid that some of the other kids will like, key my car. So, my question is, Do you think that people would do it? And/Or what insurance would cover this?
Because my dad Hates the city, we used to live in Detroit.
A: They might, kids can be really cruel.
As for the insurance damage like that would fall under your comprehensive coverage (covers things like fire, theft, vandalism, windshield repairs...). You would have to pay whatever deductible you have on your policy and the insurance will pay the rest.
Q: Why do people prefer the X5 over X3 other than size?
the X5 looks so ugly compared to the X3 which looks a bit futuristic at the least and some ppl might say its female of X5. but i would rather drive a car that looks nicer than a car that looks like a cheap old bmw.
comparing a 2005 X5 to a 2003 X3
the X5 looks like a 99 model comparing to the X3.
A: no idea, as the X3 is pointless. you might as well get a 3 series saloon. the X3 offers no benefits over a saloon car.
Q: BMW fender bender price?
okay so my friend got into a fender bender today with a 2005 x5 BMW, but the BMW only got a scratch on the bumper, so basically the only thing that needs to be replaced is the bumper: can only one tell me how much an x5 BMW bumper would cost?
A: Repairing any BMW is going to be pricey. Don't be temped to go the cheap route. It is not worth it and the resale value will take a hit. The first thing is to find a shop that repairs BMW's. The other issue is making sure that they only use factory parts in the replacement of the bumper. Lastly, be sure they do the job properly. A shop that uses the correct paint and follows the right steps to ensure a perfect fit and match of the paint. I had my BMW done a few times and I learned that you can't take any short cuts. You are going to pay for it when its time to sell the car.
I paid about $2000 for the repair, but it depends on the amount of repairs under the bumper.
I hope this helps.
Q: Burning smell from BMW X5?
My buddy has a BMW X5. Every time the road conditions are wet (rain, slush, or snow), he gets a burning smell inside and outside of the car. It smells like an electrical component or wires. The car is a 2005. I have observed smoke comming from the front left (driver side) side of the car. If anyone has experienced this or knows anything about it I would really appreciate some help. Thank you.
A: Probably just the extra money he paid to buy a German vehicle when he could have gotten a better Japanese/Korean SUV for $8000 less with fewer problems.
Q: Specific Car models in future, will they still be stylish?
I've always loved the 2005 Mercedes CL, and the 2005 BMW X5, I can't drive yet, so I'm just gonna ask this question, will these cars still be cool in the future?
A: Well, the late 70's 80's and mid nineties are a good example. People back then thought those cars were very stylish and unique and were good quality, but boy were they wrong!
Q: I would like to get a used BMW x3 , is 2004 too far back?
I am looking into the BMW x3. The X5 is bit too much. I am looking for Used X3. If anyone has had any expience with this car, can you tell me how far back is too far. Ive seen some 2004 and 2005 models that are really affordable, however it is used., so is that still a good buy? I though about leasing a new oneIhowever i realized youre just putting your money into a car just to rent it. Just needed a few opinions
Thanks for any help!! :)
A: I had an '04 and now have an '06. Wonderful vehicles. Beware that the '04 has a stiffer ride and seats, it seems like. That's fine if you are a true BMW fan but many people complained about it so they made it softer in '05. I have never had a real problem with anything and the maintenance and basically everything but the tires is covered for the first 4 years/50,000 miles. It's a lot of fun to drive on winding roads. It will not win a drag race against many cars (I got beat by a Dodge truck, and even my old Mercedes with 160,000 miles will beat the X3 on a straight road) but it is a lot of fun to drive. I will buy another one when this lease is up. I highly recommend it.
