Uh oh.
![]() ![]() The radiator looks good, but the expansion tank has a hole in it. |

Did the hood survive?

I’m still waiting on the interstate for the tow truck, so I haven’t taken a real close look, but I think so.

Here's hoping for the best. Looks like it may not be to bad considering all things it could do.

There are a couple of dents in the hood. One broke the paint.

Let us know what snapped as it looks like the fan blades came apart but were they the cause or was it the waterpump, or, or?
Mileage on all the parts too as many have posted that these all fail big time at 80-140K Good luck and hopefully it was a failed belt.

The worst part is the whine I hearing now. “I WANT A NEW CAR!”

She heard a loud bang
Mine makes that same sound. (Wife not car). I just teased her that any time a tire is low on air or ice freezes a window and "the horror" she can't go through Starbucks drive through for "an entire day" her go-to complaint is "get a new car" We've spent less than $80/month repairing her 18 yr old e53 for going on 3 years which is amazing to me what other car could do that!? Mine is about 9 months younger just about to turn 17 (based on production month) and has only averaged $40/mo with some substantial repairs involved like all 8 rotors the disa valve alternator thermostat coolant reservoir a couple of door handle carriers etc. I have to explain that we would pay more in car payments in half a year for a newer car that would cost more in repair and more in insurance. We have full coverage on both our cars $0 deductible comprehensive for $100/mo total. That's not happening with a newer car. I'm looking for my next X5 always. I'd like to find one with 100,000 miles from 04ish year just to reset the clock a bit but my goal is to get to 280,000 to double the purchased miles on my first x5
