New to X5 World

[RDM3]

Hey everyone!! I am a newbie here and have some questions on the X5, I am new to the X5 but not BMW, I have a 1997 Dinan Supercharged M3.

Right now I also have a Land Rover Freelander, had it 2 yrs and it has been leaking antifreeze, they replaced the overflow tank and it still leaks, I am going in Weds to find out if it is a hose or worst case the head gasket, if it is the head gasket I will dump it, I am not paying $4k-$6k to get it repaired.

With that said I found a 2000 X5 4.4l 79k miles at a local Mercedes dealer, they are asking $16,450 and will give me $4500 trade for the LR, what should I look for in the X5, what are the common issues?

I already checked insurance rates, that is not a concern, tires will run about $800 from tirerack when needed and gas is not an issue, I get about 220 miles a tank in the LR, it is a 15 gal tank, so the BMW will do about the same or better.
