Someone on here lives in cold (maybe not Canada cold) weather and did a catch can project. Had good long-term success from what I recall. That's in one of the main catch can/ CCV threads. Keep a spare expansion tank around. The rest should be find for at least another 60k miles. Suspension starts getting wobbly well over 100, unless your roads are garbage. I can't speak on generation 1 auto transmission...I don't have one.

I did read the post about the "catch can" version. I think that I'd go with the climatic one. I was planning on changing the expansion tank too before the winter. All cooling system components usually go around 120 km...mine went on my 330 when it hit 120 on the nose...

The X has a claim of $13k against it. If I get it for a good price I'm still going to buy it (I think)

What is a claim? A lien or an insurance claim?

I'm resisting SO HARD not to buy them. It'd be nice to run 315's on all 4 corners.

Regardless of the mileage on the vehicle, but because of the age, all belts and hoses should be replaced. I would automatically replace the CCV system with the cold weather version if it has not been done so already. Make sure the undercarriage is power washed and inspect the brake and fuel lines for corrosion damage. Salt exposure is especially hard on them as well as on the radiator.
I would pull the front driveshaft and make sure the splines are not rusted or worn. Grease the splines and make sure the seal in the transfer case is in good condition to keep water out of the splines. I'm of the opinion you should leave the transmission fluid alone. I have 304,900 miles on mine and it operates fine. Perform a brake fluid flush and fill and perhaps a shorter oil change interval the first two times as well. 2002 X5 3.0 304,900 miles 2014 428i 19,400 miles 2004 325i sold at 123,600 miles 2001 325i sold at 66,000 miles 1970 Firebird - Under restoration
