cn90 is on a distinguished road
I just wonder the reliability of newer X5 (fuel-pressure fuel pump, intake valve deposit, the electric water pump: I can handle it). Any major repair issues in the newer X5?

My 2006 X5 M54 6spMT now has 133K miles.
Bought it in 2015 at 112K miles.
Things done so far:

1. Window regulator (left front) after plastic clips job. Eventually needed a new WR.

2. Partial cooling overhaul a few yrs ago.

3. Spark Plugs, CCV Mod (the BavarianE39 CCV Mod...great mod).

4. Brake line corrosion replaced with new metal lines and bubble flares.
This is the only job that was a PITA...

Other than that, the E53 X5 has been reliable like a "Toyota Camry" lol...
I will keep this X5 for a while, unless you guys convince me to upgrade.
Any stick shift for the newer X5?
