Anything i need to think about B4 i pull the trigger on this 04 4.4i

[gocats]

Hey guys,

I am new here to this forum but not new to BMW. i just sold my 05 e46 M3 and have owned a 330 and x5 3.0 in the past. My wife wants to get rid of our 05 Lexus GX 470 and wants another X5. It has been 3 years since we have owned one and i am a bit out of the loop.

So 2 ?'s for you guys if you dont mind.

1. What do you think of this deal? 2004 BMW 4.4i X5 black on black sport/prem pack 30k miles CPO till 2010/100k for 26k?? Is this a good deal in this marketplace. I have searched high and low on craigslist, autotrader, and ebay. This seems to be a fairly good deal from what i have seen in the last 2 weeks of hunting??

2. What should i look out for, or problems should i expect? Any known germlins for this year and is an 05 or 06 any better?

Thanks in advance for your help and input!!!!

With that warranty in place the only think I would be worried about is whether or not the owner took care of the vehicle. A carfax report would be helpful as well. Is it clean and does it drive well?

The car is very clean, one owner, never been wrecked, no kids in the backseats, etc... All records of service by dealer.

Sounds like a good deal. I wouldn't worry too much about the bluetooth...

what does everyone else think? Good deal? Is an 05 or 06 worth another 4k?

Thats a good deal.

Most 04 do not have Bluetooth. Early years don't, and some late 04 builds do from what i've read. Mine does not have BT. The inner tires wear out like crazy. Great ride and great power.

obviously the newer one you get the less problems or ""gremlins" however that is a great deal and I would jump all over that
