Also these are the two X5's in the Boston area I'm looking at Friday
2001, 3.0, 71k all records no accidents----asking 15,500
2003, 3.0, 73k all records no accidents---asking 15,500

Welcome Brad...
Your list, from your research, is right on in terms of the weak points...
maybe add to that the oil seperator situ, esp. in colder climes.
The auto trans issue is a jump ball, as many have gone 100k+ with no
problems and others have been less lucky...
As to your question above, I think yes to the couple year deal, (minus
my crystal ball).
Our '01 3.0 w/68K is still rolling fine, albeit with manual trans, knock on
wood.
You might push harder on those prices, imo, and maybe focus more on
the '03, fwiw, simply as a model with 2 more years of assembly line
experience.
