Saying hello. New owner with pics

Saying hello to everyone. Just picked up a 2006 X5 4.4i yesterday. Needs a little TLC, and a REALLY good cleaning. The owner had a really really bad oil leak and she was quoted 2500 to replace seals. So she decided to just sell it. She just installed DVD monitors in the head rests and a new Kenwood receiver. She listed it at 2wd. It was AWD, but kept that to myself. I had the engine idle for 2 minutes and oil was dripping, almost running off the undercaridge protector. I quickly shut it off. Added 4 quarts before I had it towed and it hardly registered on the dipstip. It idled really smooth, AC works great, just that crazy oil leak. Towed it home and detailed out the interior. Was looking around the engine (valve covers of course, BMW) Sure enough the drivers rear cam plug has major oil draining from it. While i was in their I didnt like the look of the white (off white) beauty cover and I painted it black. More to come as I go over the truck. This is my 3rd BMW. Had a E36 M3 4 door, and a E46 Convertible.
