I'd be weary of any Beemer that is a v8 going into the 100k mark. These beasts get expensive. I hope u have a warranty. I sold mine at 98k and I never looked back. The 3.0 x5 is very reliable the v8 not so much. If u start to feel that tranny slipping you should reconsider selling. I opted for a new honda when I gave up my x5. I now get 260 miles out of a 45.00 fill up. This is a game with fire. The e53 will always go down in my books as one of the sexiest body style ever
