My 2003 X5 3.0i currently has 147,850 miles and requires about $1,200 in maintenance, replacing thrust arms, bushings etc, oil filter housing gasket and rear diff seals.

Looking for some feedback on whether I should complete the repairs or just trade it in on a 2009 X5. It has been a good vehicle to date only requiring minor repairs and maintenance so far.

All feedback is welcomed.

Thanks
