I wouldn't make a 3 hour drive without having full disclosure of what this vehicle needs. With the miles and missing of correct components its going to need some work $$$$$. In addition you can always get a good feel if someone has taken care of something. In this case look at the fact that the interior is filthy and the owner felt that it was good enough to post for sale. Obviously poorly cared for. I just dont understand when trying to sell what you have why not put your best foot forward: Clean the vehicle inside and out before taking pictures to post for sale. Furthermore this X5 is not what you were really looking for . You originally mentioned that you want 4.6is. Your better off going for what you really want. Take your time and be prepared to pay for what you are looking for and accept minimal compromises (for example colors).
