[QUOTE=senwar;629405]I'm looking at getting a used X5 3.0d and have been looking at 2003 models upto 2005. However I want to know when the facelift occurred (month/year) and cannot find this easily in the fourm via search.
Last quarter of year 2003. Mine was manufactured in Nov 2003.

Model year 2004 was the first year of the facelift, date of production started 10/1/2003. (It was also when the X5 4.4 got the N62B44 engine)
Also FYI: Model Year 2005 started 10/1/2004 Model Year 2006 started 9/1/2005

For those of us who drive on the LHS of the road - 10/1/2003 is actually 1/10/2003 (1st October, 2003). LOL. Sorry, X5 Meister.

Hey Meister,
I also came up with the following from Wiki: http://wikicars.org/en/BMW_X5 It mentions as April '04 as both the production & shipping date, so from what you are saying I guess they mean the shipping date. To the OP, have a read anyway. It can't hurt to be more informed. GL with your purchase

Right, the 4.8is was rolled out later. I don't believe any were made prior to 4/2004.

JCL,
You're right. After rereading it I now understand it as referring only to the 4.8. Funny how the scribe didn't give an exact date for the main run update. Good to now know the exact date of said update of facelift, especially for someone after the newest prefacelift (if you know what I mean). Meister, where did you source your info ?
