Need advice before the X5 gets traded in.

Sounds like you know what you are getting into
1. Active tank, SCR + DEF injector
2. Nox sensors
3. Thermostat
4. Glowplugs and module
5. Throttle valve
6. EGR cooler
7. Exhaust temp sensors (pre and post DPF, high and low pressure EGRs)
8. Differential pressure sensors
9. Boost sensor
10. Battery
11. Idler pulley bolt
12. Leaky turbo oil line
13. Pressure converters
14. Injector 5 + 6 due to water infiltration (broken bulkhead partition)
15. Parking Brake actuator
16. driveshaft (depending on year)
Scared yet? Those are just the things I can think of that break, not even counting maintenance like
1. Tranny fluid + pan
2. Water pump + belts
3. Differential and transfer case fuild
4. coolant
