I bet there are a lot more of us out there than we know about, considering the reason for most posts is due to needing info or having issues with the vehicle.

Don't see many posts on here saying, "Hey, just wanted to let you know I rolled 150K miles and still don't have any problems!!"

my 01 is on 108k and thought that was high! I have the 4.4 and if i can get to 190 I'll be very happy. Not sure how that will be in NYC though..

I just turned 106k yesterday, and execpt for a sensor, everything seems fine. And of course the window motor plastics that broke.

Forgot to add, I have only put on 22k in the last 3 years, so the vehicle doesn't get driven much. We have 3 other cars and 3 motorcycles to drive also.

Ya, but that's still great.

I'm at 166K miles, but unfortuantely, the auto tranny went out about 30K miles ago, but I did change the tranny oil and who knows? Also, right cat converter needed to be replaced, but my O2 sensors were gone, prolly should have replaced the O2 sensor @ 100K miles....now, I'm not burning oil anymore like I did since the bad O2 sensors was making my engine run richer than it should....No cold weather related problems (e.g. oil separator) due to our local climate is quite mild.

Already went through 4 window regulators....but other than that, the X5 has been fine. The X5 runs much better with better fuel mileage since the cat was replaced.

I can understand O2 sensor replacement increasing mileage, but not replacing a cat. How would that work??
