First post on here, I just bought my 2002 X5 3.0 manual on Saturday. Got it with 98k miles, 1 previous owner. Car was in immaculate shape. Thermostat and vacuum hoses replaced at dealer before I purchased. I've had it for 5 days and yep, already an issue.

Driver's side door wouldn't open for me yesterday, from inside or out. I tried the coat hanger trick, couldn't get it to open, said screw this I've got a warranty for a month I'll use that. Drove it to work today by getting in the passenger seat and the driver's door unlocked when I pulled in to work. Still wouldn't open from the outside though. The handle itself on the outside looks to be askew by the tiniest or margins. Am going to try spraying some of that lubricant into the handle when I get home tonight.

Other than that it's been a blast to drive. Missed driving a stick. Had a 2012 Infiniti G37x before this, and although this car is more than 10 years old it's way more fun to drive.

My X5 came loaded, heated seats, sunroof, DVD system, etc. DVD system is useless though, it seems the monitor is broken. Looked it up on ebay, 300 bucks for a new screen? Pffft.
