The BMW X5 e70 starter relay location is under the dashboard panel, beneath the glove box, by the floor of the front passenger. This part of the car will eventually become ineffective at some point. The battery will need to be changed out every 50,000 to 60,000 miles. It may coSTSome money, but You will have to cough up the cash to keep Your car running. You will come into issues with the battery during the life cycle of the vehicle. For one, the battery can just be completely out of juice. You will need to recharge or replace it at this point. There can be a leak, causing the fluid to come out. The battery can drain quickly and will need to fixed. A cracked case could come about and will need to be replaced completely.

The starter relay in the BMW X5 E70 is beneath the dashboard panel under the glove box near the floor of the front passenger.
Sometimes the car will start and I can drive it and then it seems like after it gets warm it'll stall out and die and then it won't crank back then if I let it set overnight sometimes it will crank up now it's getting to where it don't crank up and I was just wondering are there anything that I could do without taking it to the dealer and be able to fix the problem any ideas please text me back

My 2011 X5 also has this issue once the starter or engine gets warm, the starter will engage and disengage quickly, before the engine can start. I replaced the battery and starter and had the alternator tested (OK). Seems like the electronics is cutting off power to the starter motor. Any ideas? Thanks. Neil
No I did not figure it out it still won't crank or start and I've changed the computer and the Cas3 module and the key they all match but I still it won't crank or start
I also have the BMW X5 e70 and it was running and then I cut it off and went out the next morning to try to start it back and it wouldn't start back all it does is clicks and I hear the click sounds like it comes from that cas 3 module so any ideas on what my issue is anybody
