I really, really like our '01 X5 3.0...but, when the ext warr., (from
Warr Direct), expires this summer, I will be thinking about tossing it,
if WD won't let me "re-up" for some reasonable price.

I know UCrew and a few others here have had amazing time/mileage
good service and reliability, but I will not drive this long without some
kind of reasonably priced safety net.

But, I have time to think about it, time to drive it and we shall see...
otoh, I need to plunk $40Gs+, with my X as a trade-in, on a new ride,
like I need a case of herpes, lol!
