Bought 03 4.6is
So...
Yesterday, 03 4.6is with 150000km just came up on craigslist without any pictures. The owner was saying the car is somewhat drivable, but there is loud engine knock, hence will take any reasonable offer. As soon as I saw it, yeah.. chain guide is gone... will cost 4-5k to fix and probably owner doesn't what to spend too much money onto it as these cars are money pig if you don't know how to fix yourself. Anyhow I drove by and it was silver exterior with imola red interior! Body was little dirty but was in good shape. No rust, nothing biggie. Generally speaking, interior needs alot of love.. I mean really need some LOVE, but nothing has been ripped or burnt, etc.. Grabbed the VIN and found it has every single options except 4 axle air sus. Hesitated little since with the loud knock, I cannot really test drive it and I didn't want to snap the chain which will cause more damage. I asked him how much he will take... he told me 1k will do. Huh?? 1k? Heck, I can sell front/rear and running board and that will make up 1k. ha... So... I offered him $800.... and... bought the car.  Plan is to revive this car and in the end, sell my current 02 X5 3L. Here is option sheet.

Wow, $800 for a 4.6? Nice find! Hopefully it won't cost you too much to get her running properly again! Did it come with any maintenance records?

I won't be parting it out. Just too much work and don't have enough space for that.
I'll do my best to revive this car.  As for maintenance records, there isn't any..... I didn't expect much either for $800. haha There are few things wrong with the car that I know so far other than engine. 1. navi works but no radio or CD 2. Side mirror folding not working. worn out gear I suspect 3. PDC not working, couple blown sensor. 4. cracked front windshield.

Nice find. I would keep your current x5 and take you time rebuilding the 4.6is. That way you can take you time finding the parts as cheaply as possible.
Hopefully the engine does not need a complete overhaul.
