Yes, having owned several BMW cars, I was not as worried about maintenance when it came to getting my 2005 4.4 even though it does have 90k miles. I had it checked by BMW, and it had all of its records plus the 100k extended warranty, PLUS my good friend is a Master BMW mechanic with his own shop (and knew the BMW dealer mechanic who had worked on mine before I bought it).
HOWEVER
I still go into this ownership a bit tentatively. BMW X5's are less reliable than Land Cruisers, Lexus LX470's, and Lexus GX470's. I won't hesitate to change my mind if a great deal comes around AND the X5 gives me more trouble than I think it is worth.
All of that being said, what kinds of things should I pay attention to on a 2005 X5, 4.4?
