You could get a far newer car with far less miles that would be more reliable and cheaper to fix than that old BMW.

Not to mention prior to 2003, the X5 was...well....in need of work After 2003 you had a new front look, X-Drive, Premium pkg with HID and Pano roof...not to mention a stronger motor with valvetronic.

You will be spending tons in repairs, the trans is notorious for going out in the X5 and at 100+ thousand miles, it is close to guaranteed to die and that is a 3-5K job (half of what you'd pay for the whole car). IMO of course.
