Well, transmissions on X5's go up after 100K and on for the most part which is well within the generally accepted limits for that complex a piece of machinery. Your price range is pretty low, you may want to save up a little more for a 04+ X5. Better engine in the 315hp Valvetronic 4.4 (290/5 hp in the earlier 4.4), Pano roof option and "newer" overall look.
