Thank you. Thank you sir. You may have the record btw. Your X5 inspires my X5 to be a better truck.

Thanks, my X is running so good that I cannot justify getting rid of her. So I just continue to modify her. I think a supercharger is on the horizon, because after driving my M the X it just boring. Congratulations on the 200,000 miles not alot of people can say that about their car.

With all of the bad threads out there where people are complaining about thier X5's it is great to see this thread where people are braging about thier X5's.

After I purchased mine earlier this year, I was nervouse because of all the negative posts. After reading this thread, I don't feel so bad.

By the way, 2006 X5 4.4i with 82,000 miles.

Congrats I have around 140K on my 02 X5 3.0. Have you had any major breakdowns? Mainly are you on the original transmission?

Thanks brotha. Nope. No major problems. Original trans and engine. All the other little gremlins people complain about though (pixels, heater transistor, window regulators, control arms, SLS light....). I try to do all the work on this beast myself. Don't think I'll drive anything but BMW as long as forums like this exist. Love the support. Can't beat the tutorials and response. (sniff..I promised myself I wouldnt cry..)

Congrats and welcome the 200K miles club. I just past 225,000 miles last month. I'll post a pic in an original thread when I get a chance to upload the camera pic.
