Gavski is on a distinguished road
2004 X5 3.0 6MT with 120K. Owned since 40-something K

Have done: (S - Shop, P - Personally)
S - Both front axles
S - One rear wheel bearing
S - Valve cover gasket (probably failed due to bad thermostat / CCV)
P - Coils / plugs (Bavauto)
P - DISA repair with G.A.S kit
P - New Sachs struts all around (Bavauto)
P - Thermostat
P - Cold weather CCV kit from (ECS)
P - Front / rear brakes
P - Oil changes @ ~10K (mix of Mobil 1, Lubro Moly, Castrol Syntec)
P - Gear box oil changed to Royal Purple
P - Windshield washer pumps & grommets (still have a leak somewhere)
P - Installed modified Clutch Delay Valve (CDV) for us MT folks
P - Aux input installed

Under the remainder of warranty, did have major work done on the pano sunroof before 50K. Think I got new tracks and drains on that deal.

After doing the DISA, CCV and replacing a bad coil last weekend, the thing runs better than ever. Going for 200K at this point. I'm due for front brakes and an alignment.

I joke to myself - If you like wrenching, this is the car for you.

Its not fast, but it is solid and fun to drive.
