Yeah my list of items that would need to be replaced if i went that route is big. But i figured if im going to replace the engine and transmission and those 2 alone will set me back 1500-2800 just parts. If i buy a rear end accident X5 with low miles then while i have it why not replace the whole front end ? X5 has been parked now for a year.

I hate to part it out. I kept the interior and exterior in great condition so its something to think about. Like you said could look for a low miles run and drive and part mine out i guess.
