I forgot. One more thing to add.
CV BOOT.
actually I changed the entire axle because it was easier and I was unsure how long it had been ripped.

bought my 2001 X5 4.4 sport 6/05 with 42K - now 74K

expansion tank replaced before I purchased it - it began as a 3yr lease car in Philly, then bought by someone who used it for skiing trips, but did not invest in snows, so he only put 6K on it for the year he had it

I replaced...
RR window regulator
windshield
did the water pump/thermo/belts at 62K for pc of mind
acouple hoses were replaced during the Dinan install and 1 control arm

no warrantys - it runs great
I have my BMW dealers look at it everytime before heading X-country, so I stay on top of anything that may go wrong as it's cheaper to fix in the shop than out on the road

but most of my driving is interstate - no daily commute in traffic

spent more $$$ on mods than repairs

I'm at 70K and change right now... X at the dealer now.... Here's the laundry list:
  • Brakes
  • Left & right Axles
  • Both rear light assemblies
  • Actuators for both back doors
  • Thrust bushings
  • Power Steering pump
  • Belts
  • Radio Amp
Waiting to hear what the extended warranty will pick up.:eek:

I know the brakes and belts are on me....

almost 83k miles. put in about 50k within last two years when I inherited it

Drives great. Problems:
Headlight condensation (replaced under warranty)
Steering wheel tilt/telescope motor (replaced underwarranty)
Turn signal screw making clicking sounds within every revolution (fixed under warranty, not completed though)
CV boots (under warranty)
Brake Rotors (under warranty)
Dead pixel syndrome when it's warm
Brake light rust

Nothing too major. Maybe just lucky

GET WARRANTY!!!
