Have you already done guides and transmission service on your own? It'd be a money drain to chomp into one that hasn't had one or the other done. I just bought one that will be draining me for awhile. But, if it's what you want you know the deal going in.

If you do have guides done, perhaps he'd be willing to trade - sounds odd to say - but with a little cash. IDK, tough one.

Im about to shuck out for the 4.6is transmission rebuild to the tune of $2500 or so. I've been in E38's for 15 years, so I know guides are coming - or should be done - especially on a 4.6is given the rarity, speaking of I've learned my X5 is 1 of 27 in the world Dinan modified. So, i feel like I have to get it right for my own sake, and because it's the right thing to do.

I also messaged BMW Classic and they have directed me to BMW archives for production numbers on the 4.6is, it will be interesting to see what they say or if they will disclose that to me. Their Twitter account admin shot me down and said it was against policy to disclose.
