Maintenance / Repair for X5 2002 w/ 70k miles

Kendall · #1 10-16-2007, 09:30 PM

I had the inspection 2 done at 60k miles, the belts done at 52k miles w/ clutch job..

I am thinking based on typical BMW experience, this car will need:

brake pads / rotors as needed
new battery sometime soon
thrust arm bushing / ball joints or as needed suspension work
brake fluid flush
watch for coolant leaks ie. water pump hoses etc.

Can anybody think of anything that I missed to look out for?

How long do shocks typically last for you guys?

I would be mindful of the ICV and the oil seperator system at this milage and year model.

Good point, the oil separator was already replaced under warranty last year... It was clogged.. I have not had any issues with the ICV at least not yet..
