Thanks bandite53.
Yes, belts are a good idea.

We know our time is limited with our 06 X5, but honestly, we just cant fault it
(apart from the radio module).
Quality of finish
Economical
Well Maintained
Luxury Vehicle
Problem Free, Cheap to Service, No common terminal problems.


So we are caught in the situation of keep it, as better the devil you know, and really, it cant drop in value too much more.
Or trade up... to probably a E70 X5, which will cost $60,000 AUD.
For essentially, a vehicle that doesn't do much more than what we have, and will drop in price like a the proverbial.

Which leads me to this thread i guess, how can we best look after our 240k beauty

I am fairly sure the Auto Trans fluid has never been changed, nor either Diff.
So i have them on my list.

EDIT: I found a nice thread on the Harmonic Balancer

Price is scary though: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BMW-X5-DI...-/320954855812

Thanks for the heads up.
