Anyone in Brooklyn with 3.0?

[Roman D]

Hi guys, anyone in Brooklyn or near with E53 X5 3.0? I would like to listen to the sound of the engine - I think mine is hissing, passed the smoke test @ BayDiagnostic and they really pumped it up - I think it sqooshed some oil out of rear crank seal (which is NEW) under pressure, NO Check Engine light but I don't like the way it sounds. I never had a BMW before so I would like to hear what is "Normal" The reason why I am looking in to it is because when I start the engine and take off - car is very energetic, clutch bites right in and engine pulls smooth and strong, next traffic light - it becomes lazy-er....

Just find a use car lot with a BMW and ask to take it for a test ride.

Thanks.. I, honestly, did not think of that but schedule of my life won't allow- i work 7am-3pm then go to my business stay there till 7-8 pm which leaves me with very busy weekends. Driving around dealer lots that may or may not have this kind of a vehicle would be very inefficient. I mean, I could search internet first but 10-15 min meet with local X-out member in evening seems as most convenient way.

Theres gotta be a lot of "Buy here pay here" lots around Brooklyn with 3.0's sitting around I would imagine, maybe hit one at lunch.

They didn't put it in their MINI.
