PLEASE HELP! FIRST TIME BUYER!!

[khome]

i had an E39 528i, i love BM's, but the amount of electrical problems (eg ABS, traction, Sensors tec) started to get a bit ridiculous.

X5 are my ideal cars.
Unfortunately i can not afford the latest models.

I just need to know which X5's have the least problems 2001 - 2003??

Has anyone had any good experiences with these cars, where they've not been virtually throwing money out the window??

It will be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!

:xoutpost:
For the 2001-2003 models, the 2003 are going to be most reliable. Late 2003 preferably, although I had 0 problems with my early 2003. You can get 2004-2006 too for not that much more.
But, it would be best if you added an extended warranty. The price will get way out of control after 75k miles.

good to hear. thanks

All i have read is how many problems people have had with the cars!!
How many k's did it have when you bought and sold it?

thanks again.

will be interested to hear more responses

I bought it new in 2003 and sold it in early 2007 with 44,000 mi. or so. No problems at all, but I would not own it out of warranty.
