craigsx5 is on a distinguished road
Hello 4.8isX5,

Mine is a 2004 3.0i with a sports pack. I've owned the car since new, and it has never been in any accidents. It has done 160,000 klm and it is in very good order (no signs of rust anywhere else). I must admit, I have never bothered to wash down the underside, though. It's always been a 'good driver'.

Thankfully, I haven't had much go wrong with it to date..... only 2 wheel bearings; front door handles stuck; panoramic sunroof broken caused by sun and heat on cheap plastic fasteners; one parking sensor broken; MAF sensor failure.........Mmm, they all add up, don't they.

All these issues have been fixed with the help of this forum!

FYI, I attach a photo of the repaired sub-frame, for those interested.
