It's awesome to see an X5 with such high mileage, even if it is just a 3.0.

I do think that it's great that it ran strong the whole way up to 325K miles! But now it has a misfire that we can't put our fingers on. But, with our current plan for the X5, would you want to turbocharge a 325K mile motor? or a 117K mile motor? I swapped a set of rims for it, so I don't really mind putting another engine in and seeing how much further the body can go.
