Late to this thread, but we have two X5s: 2004 and 2006 3.0i models. I'd drive either of them across country without much more than a quick oil and antifreeze and tire pressure check. Combined they have about 500,000km on them. Both have zero rust and ride true and square.


Compare them to other SUV/SAV from the same year. When was the last time you saw a Merc ML? Pathfinder? 4-runner or the like that wasn't rusted to crap? I'll wait. Tonnes of X5s on the road around this winter wonderland we call Calgary by comparison
