Well after 7 years I decided to trade in my 2001 4.4 X5. The last straw for me were the brake lanes rotting out, and almost getting totaled at an intersection. Having owned 2 M3's, 2 325's, a 328IS, and the X5 I can honestly say I am finished with BMW's. I would like to that the creator of this board, the moderators, and all the members, for what I believe to be one of the greatest sites ever. I can't tell you how much money you save me over the years or repairs. My mechanic actually uses this site to help troubleshoot issues, which is saying a lot for the quality of content.

I wish you all much happiness with your X5's as they truly are the greatest car ever made - it's too bad BMW designed things like transmissions, brakelines, and timing gaskets so poorly.

If people need parts let me know - I will be putting up the following on ebay:

- Brand new Blizaak Snow tires (0 miles) on style 58 rims
- Peak reset tool
- Peak airbag reset tool
- X5 manual

I would rather see this go to a fellow enthusiast so shoot me an email at [email protected]

Thanks again for everything
