How many kms (or miles  ) are expected out of the 3.0i, as in lifetime.
Same question as above, however in reference to the auto trans.
When are the major services, do E53 have a major timing change or timing belt service?
When driving the cars, what issues should I be looking for?
How do I know if they have an OEM upgraded headlight.
Any help would be great guys.
Talk to you soon,

many are over200 000 miles . one member is over 300 000
same high milers on original transmission . low mileage abusers need new transmission .
servicing usually every 15 000 miles . schedule usually - oil service £ 150 - inspection 1 £ 250 - oil service £150 - inspection 2 £350 - oil service £150 - inspection 1 - get the idea . timing chains on all X5 engines .
issues to look out for when driving - watch your speed - you may be driving faster than you think you are due to the refined drive .
search the site for photos of members cars with headlight upgrades .
