First Xpost Message, Second X5

[MauiM3Mania]

Hi everyone, I needed to introduce myself/jump in because I soon will have questions to ask!

I first picked up a used E53 X5 last April, The vehicle had been around but was a sturdy vehicle that never failed me. I found it was being used as my daily driver while the M3s sat in the garage.

Over time, I desired a nicer copy and stumbled upon this nicely optioned, 2001 E53 manual trans X5. 127k miles. Engine performs well and no serious problems so far. It drives like a dream and appears to be a Maui car, being here it's entire life. I have since sold the first X5 and am spending time and a few dollars on this one pictured below.

The various issues have included the pullies, tensioners and belts, window clips on DS front (fun time) and many little things. OFHG is on the list as is wheel speed sensors and shifter refresh, either UUC's kit or just replacement of some of the worn bits.

I look forward to sharing my experiences and if I have anything helpful, it will be forthcoming.
