2010 Audi Q5 3.2L – Commonly Asked Questions

How much is a 2010 Audi Q5 worth?

There are quite a few factors that go into estimating the value of vehicles. Typical estimates at this time are anywhere from $5,000 – $10,500, depending on condition and other factors. Here are some of the questions you need to complete before you’d have a fair assessment of the value of the 2010 Audi Q5. 

• Has it been in a previous accident? 
• Is anything broken on it? 
• Has it been smoked in? 
• What’s the mileage?
• Does it have any premium options (upgraded sound system, park assist, etc.)?
• What are the exterior and interior colors?
• Does it have a clean or salvage title?

Is the 2010 Audi Q5 3.2L turbocharged?

The 3.2L engine that came standard in the ’10 Q5 is naturally aspirated. So no, it doesn’t have a turbo.

Does the 2010 Audi Q5 get good gas mileage?

It gets around 23 mpg on the highway, and it reaches approximately 18 mpg in the city; I wouldn’t consider this fantastic gas mileage. Over the years, Audi has improved the fuel economy on the Q5, but that’s in the latest models.

How much oil does a 2010 Audi Q5 take?

The ’10 Q5 takes 6.6 quarts of oil. 5W-40 or 0W-40 synthetic oil (Audi/VW spec). Make sure you don’t use convention oil in Audis (or any car, really); they don’t bode well for the longevity of your engine.

Is a 2010 Audi Q5 3.2 All-Wheel Drive?

Yes, this Q5 is an all-wheel-drive (Quattro) SUV. There isn’t an FWD or RWD option for the Audi Q5 (who’d want that anyway?)

Where is the battery on Audi Q5 2010?

The battery is located in the trunk under the spare tire mat/floor panel cover. You must also remove the tool tray to gain access to the battery.

If you need to jump-start your Audi Q5 (2010), you can do so under the hood; the terminals can be found near the firewall.

I need parts for my 2010 Audi Q5. Where’s the best place to buy them?

If you can afford new and want to shell out an exorbitant amount on your Audi parts, you can purchase them through the dealership or another online retailer. If you’re looking to save significant money, buy used. Search our used 2010 Audi Q5 parts inventory.

2015 BMW 328D – Questions Answered

Is the BMW 328d reliable?

I’ve scoured various forums and found that most people are happy with their BMW 328D (F30) reliability. That isn’t to say you might have a different story; it depends on how well they are maintained.

What is a BMW 328d?

It’s the diesel version of the 328i. That’s about it in a nutshell.

Is the 2015 BMW 328d fast?

I wouldn’t call the 328D fast. It goes 0-60 mph in around seven and a half seconds. If you’re looking for a fast ride, it wouldn’t be a 328D.

What is the difference between BMW 328i and 328d?

The BMW 328i takes gasoline (petrol), and the BMW 328d takes diesel fuel. The 328d also gets considerably better fuel economy. For example, the 2015 328i gets 22 mpg CITY and 32 mpg HIGHWAY, whereas the 2015 328d gets 31 mpg CITY and 41 mpg HWY.

Can you tune a 2015 BMW 328d?

Yes, it is tunable. Ensure that you do your research and don’t attempt to tackle this project yourself unless you’re confident in your automotive skills; otherwise, find someone you trust.

Where can I buy used BMW 328d parts?

From us (Wolf Auto Parts), duh! You’ll find a wide selection of used parts for any BMW 328 model. If you’re looking specifically for used 2015 BMW 328d parts, you can find them by clicking on that link.

2013 BMW X5 xDrive35i – Frequently Asked Questions

Do all BMW X5 have third-row seating?

No, the X5 third-row seat is an optional package add-on. If you’re in the market for a BMW X5 and need 3rd-row seating, make sure you check the options beforehand.

Are all BMW X5 xDrive?

Yes, all BMW X5s are built on the BMW All-Wheel Drive system (xDrive). At least they are here in the US.

Can the 2013 BMW X5 tow a lot?

The towing capacity for the ’13 BMW X5 is 6,000 lbs.

Does the 2013 BMW X5 come with a manual transmission option?

No, the 2013 X5 3.0L is paired with an 8-speed automatic with no option for a manual transmission. You’ll be hard-pressed to find an SUV with a manual transmission.

What’s the difference between the 2013 BMW X5 xDrive35i and the X5 xDrive50i?

The xDrive35i has a 3.0L turbo engine. It has less power (300 HP) but better fuel economy than the xDrive50i. The xDrive50i has a 4.4L V8 twin-turbo engine. It’s considered the top-level X5. It’s quicker, more powerful, but more expensive (obviously).

Is the BMW X5 good in snow?

With BMW AWD (xDrive) system, the added clearance from it being an SUV, and good winter tires, it will perform exceptionally well in snowy conditions. I can’t emphasize enough how much tires make a difference in snow. If you have bald summer tires, it won’t matter what vehicle you’re driving; it will be risky in snow driving. If you want a more comprehensive breakdown of how well BMW handles the snow check out this article.

Part Out # 960 – 2012 BMW 750I 4.4L (F01)

The BMW 750i (F01) recently rolled through our shop and has been dismantled. The parts are ready to be purchased.

It’s quite the luxury BMW with an MSRP on this 750i (F01) over $84,000.

2012 BMW 750i 4.4L (F01) – FAQs

How much horsepower does the 2012 BMW 750i have?

The ’12 BMW 750i is powered by the 4.4L V8 twin-turbocharged engine with 400 HP and 450 lb-ft torque.

What’s the difference between the BMW 750I and the 750LI?

The 750i is a “standard-wheelbase” 7-series, while the 750Li is the “long wheelbase” model. With the 750LI, you’re going to get more rear passenger room.

Does the 2012 BMW 7 series get bad gas mileage?

It doesn’t earn top ratings in the fuel economy department, but what can we expect when it has a beefy 4.4L twin-turbocharged engine sitting under the hood? The RWD 750i and Li get around 15 MPG CITY and 22 MPG HWY. 

With the xDrive (AWD) models, you will get roughly 2 MPG worse on the highway.

Don’t forget that the BMW 7 series requires premium gasoline (91+ octane) and has a monstrous 21.7-gallon tank. 

With gas prices on the rise, it’s something to consider if you haven’t already purchased a BMW 7-series; then again, if you can afford a 7-series, you probably can afford the fuel… or at least you should be able to.

Are BMW 7-series parts expensive?

As with any luxury automaker, the parts aren’t cheap. A way to cut down on the cost is to either buy used or go the aftermarket route. The problem with going aftermarket is that they will not be the same quality part as OEM (Most of the time). The life or performance of the auto part is usually inferior.

2015 Audi A4 2.0T – Question & Answer

What engine does the 2015 Audi A4 have?

The ’15 model year Audi A4 came with the 2.0L 4-cylinder turbocharged engine. No other engine size was presented in this year and model. They did, however, pair the 2.0T engine to different transmissions. The CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission), the 6-speed manual, and the 8-speed automatic.

How do I know if I have a front-wheel-drive A4 or an all-wheel-drive?

The easiest way to tell is if it has the ‘quattro’ badge on the trunk lid. I know it’s common for vehicles to be ‘de-badged,’ so the front passenger-side dash trim is another place to look and see if it has the quattro badge. There are other ways of finding out, but those are two of the easiest.

How much horsepower does the 2015 Audi A4 2.0 turbo have?

It has 220 horsepower. It has a top speed of 130 mph and has a 0-60 mph time of around 7 seconds.
