Also, anyone have any experiences with the 1st gen x5M? Im considering selling my 4.8is soon and im on the fence. I would love to buy another X. Although my x5 has given me some problems, i dont think they are any worse than any other vehicle with 138k on the clock. The local BMW dealership replaced the head gaskets as well as the exhaust valve guidd sheilds under warranty. Total price for the job was 9k. It runs like silk now.
