I even thought about getting the e70 chassis 4.8 2007-2013 x5 which I'm not to sure if that's a bold move or not but, basically don't want my x5 to be a money pit!! Any suggestions on which is the safest route besides the 3.0 which has good fuel economy but very limited on power.
This made me LOL.

Looking at the lists of parts replaced its nothing much out of the oridnary for used cars and most over 100k...one thing I didnt see mentioned are the pano roof failures. Those can be very expensive and I dont see those as maintenance items like some of the items people have noted previously.
