5. Replaced front guibo joint
6. New Rack & Pinion
7. New Tail light assemblies (old ones were corroded beyond belief.)
8. New Radiator & Thermostat and hoses.
9. New rear brake pads, rotors and parking break assembly
10. New serpentine belt
11. New Electronic display (Thankfully comped by BMW NA)
12. Replaced Driver's rear window regulator
13. Replaced front washer pumps.
I just got it back from the new brakes and now the fuel guage quit working. I realize some of this is regular maintenance, but enough already!

I also purchased and still have a 2001 X5 4.4i, purchased in Feb/2004 with 22K miles. I have spent $30K+ for labor and parts from 2004 to present and still going. But, I really enjoy the SAV. It has 108K now and has really calm down on maintenance costs for the past year. I also depend on X5 World (Outpost.com) to resolve most of my problems now to cut maintenance costs. This is a really resourceful and informative web site.
