I have a 2002 E53 3.0l Sport all the external BMW emblems are black. 5spd manual. It currently has 237462k. miles on the clock. I am the second owner. I purchased it with 196743K miles. I have replaced the door handles, rebuilt the front and rear suspension components except the struts, shocks and ball joints. I also replaced the oil filter housing gasket, pcv system, valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket.The front left wheel bearing was changed. The auxiliary heat pump took a dump but I'm still getting lots of heat. Those are the major repairs. The regular repairs are brakes, rotors, tires, etc. I love this SUV I have a spare 2003 3.0l with a 5 Spd manual. The engine needs to be rebuilt. It only has 163K miles on it.
