Hi guys,

- Currently own a 2005 X5 3.0i 6spMT with 130K, car runs fine.

- Want to get an E83 X3 for son in college.

- The 2003-2006 X3 has M54 engine, which I am very familiar with.

- For 2007-2010, I understand it is an N52 engine and electric water pump (which should be replaced every 50K-60K etc.).

- I don't mind buying a 2007-2010 X3 with 80K or so. Can someone go over the pros and cons of 2007-2010 X3 for me?
