How Long are You Planning to Keep These Cars?

You can get the pump only for $160 from Amazon. Bosch part. About the same price for pierburg. It's a simple install don't pay somebody other than family to do it. Pump life esitmate is average of 4-5000 hours. Multiply by your average mph to determine an estimated distance to faikure.

And keep the better sender unit. The problem is the sender resistor will wear out. I just refurbished my left sender unit. Not sure what is so scary about a car losing power. You have plenty of kinetic energy to go quite a way and get off the road. It's like page two of driver education. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

- Stay away from Delphi (see the link above).
- Stick to Pierburg, go to ebay and search "E53 Pierburg fuel pump", you will find some for sales for about $145. - Anyway, back to topic, I plan to keep this thing until 200K or so, after 200K, it is too expensive (money/time/effort) as so many things can go wrong after 200K. I am now at 130K...

I could easily see a well-maintained ($500-$1000/yr average) M54 e53 make 400,000 miles on original engine. N62 e53 could well do it if owner was willing to do some major repairs a couple of times. Actually, same goes for the M62 powered e53 I would think.

I absolutely agree. I say all the time it's a bargain to spend $50-100/mo to maintain an incredible X5.
Back to training on driving: I had a tire blow out on a Freeway interchange right at the apex and didn't even raise my pulse. This was less than two years into having my license. Panic is exactly the opposite of helpful.

Regrettably I was forced out of my X5 last week. I learned sooo much from this forum over the years and for that I thank you all! Every DIY I tried I learned right here. I reached an incredible 250,907 miles and owned the car just short of 18 years. I will miss her.
