We have a 00 X 4.4i 246300 kms which was a nightmare and its repair list is impressive.Despite that we still love it,and compared to new to us e61 sports wagon,X has something that makes us want to keep it longer.
Although it needs a transfer case chain replaced,some paint job,here and there some silly plastic stuff replaced.Thankfully 00-03 have less electronics that the facelifted ones,which means if you replace mechanical stuff with a good brand/quality part you will have a nicely running relatively simple SUV.Which after a while will be so predictable in terms of maintenance and repairs.
At least it's what I think and feel.Our X is originally from Edmonton and now it goes strong through the Maritimes' snow and freezing rains.
