I just parted ways with my first X5; 2001 with 180,000 miles on it, of which I put 130,000 miles myself! Last year in march I made the trek from the Gulf of Mexico in Alabama to Pittsburgh, PA then back again. 2000 miles Round trip, through Asheville,NC and the blue ridge prkway. Absolutely amazing trip!! I just sold that 2001 X5 for an upgrade, An immaculate 2002 X5 with 50,000 miles on it, just sat in a lady's garage!!
