New E53 X5 3.0 owner introduction

Just picked up an E53 X5 3.0i Sport for my wife and I. New to the BMW SAV world, but previously had an E30 325es that was a great ride (and which I still miss). Here's a couple pics from when I picked it up:





Got it for a great price, and am the third owner. First owner was a lease, and the second owner had it from 2004 to when I purchased it a few weeks ago.

Pretty impressed with the X5 so far, but did have some unexpected (yet after looking on this site, common) issues with the DISA valve and the CCV system both crapping out shortly after purchase (was leaving a smoke screen behind me before fixing).

Hope to learn a lot from members on here, and contribute what I can once I become more familiar with the E53.

Great looking car, congratulations. Looks pretty darn well loaded except for Sport Seats (additional option on the 3.0, not included in the Sport Package). Again, congrats, beautiful looking X5!!

Don't forget to visit the Navigation Forum for tips on upgrading the nav firmware, and new maps. There are also discussions on adding an Aux Port so that you can play music from your phone, or other device, over the vehicle sound system.
