Still $24k of work was done to it no matter who paid for it. I'm not bashing or trying to scare people away, just telling our experience. We love our X5. Financially, it's time to let it go... from the heart, we'd keep it forever.
What's next? My wife moved from BMW to parts manager at Acura (same parent company owns the whole complex of 10 dealerships) They have a '08 MDX, completely optioned out and half the mileage for dealer cost so we'll see how that works out.... it certainly aint no X5.
We still have three other BMWs.... My wife has a heavily modified 135, I have an e46 ZHP and we have an F30 X drive for a daily driver. The 135 and e46 stay in storage over the winter and we used the X5 for shitty weather and road trips with the trailer out to Ohio with the twins and dogs. It was our favorite so we used it a lot.

Good luck man we are gonna miss you on here, great price your X is beautiful.
All the LeMans are getting sold, first TwinsPoppa, then relentless1 in South Jersey, and now sockethead in South Jersey.

A guy saw it on Craig's list and he's buying it tomorrow. He's really excited. So, yea we feel pretty good about selling it in it's present condition with all the work that's been done to it. We hate to sell anything that sucks.
He understands that they need a lot of TLC. I told him he needs to join this site so maybe you'll see our LeMans blue back on here again soon. Who knows? I may be on here now and then to give my two cents. I know a hell of a lot about the E53 now lol
