They were lucky enough not hit any other cars but my father was able to maneuver the car out of harms way into a nice big fat telephone pole which saved their lives. If they didnt hit the pole they would of jumped over the guard rail and down an overpass.

To make a long story LONGER....The X5 is totaled and am looking to purchase a new one. They dont make the 4.4 anymore so I am thinking about a 3.0si Xdrive.....I "hear" they have about the same power & pick up as the older v8's...TRUE?

I bought this car from the sales manager Marc Monroe from Park Aver BMW in Maywood NJ but he is long gone and the new ppl there I dont know.

The list price in 2003 was $53,495 I walked away paying $51,500 after taxes BACK THEN when the economy was "better"...I was thinking they would have insane deals out there today does anyone know?

I would also make a sale with a local sales rep on this site that could get me a deal....

Any BODY?
