Would I generally be better off with an 02 than an 01, and an 03 than an 02? Above all I want something reliable (may consider purchasing an aftermarket warranty). If anyone has any ideas on best places for an aftermarket warranty that would be great also.
Thanks very much!

2001 was the first year of the 3.0i in the X5. IMO, 2002 would be more reliable, as more of the gremlins have been worked out. I have a 2002 3.0i, and I also bought an after market warranty through Warranty Direct. The only claim I have placed thus far was for roadside assistance to change a tire
. Others here have WD as well. If you have any other Q's about the 2002, let me know. I still have the original window sticker from mine as well.
