ewebby is on a distinguished road
i have a 2001 X5 3.0 and it is running well. Window regulator design is awful, so expect to repair those. I do all my own maintenance and live in AZ so I have issues with heat and dry rot. Nothing crazy, just front upper control arms will need to be replaced $600. Since 26,000 mikes when I got it, I have had a new water pump, hoses, intake and exhaust sensors. The rear tail light connection design is very poorly designed, be prepared for them to go out. Other than that, I will need my oil spectator replaced soon, other than that just typical maintenance.
