That's what happens when you push a car to its limits.
May I ask why you were going 120?
I'm 19, and never took my X past 80.
I was told to wear my seat belt by members on this forum, and you know they're right. I keep my seat up, proper driving position and buckled up. Feels like i'm an F1 driver sometimes.

I would say engine swap. Find a low mileage motor from a scrap yard off a wrecked X5 for upto 1,500 and than pay someone another 1,000-1,500 to swap the motor.
