Hi all

Hi all,

Just bought an '01 X5 4.4 for my wife as an early Christmas gift. I currently have an '01 M5 which I've had for the past 5 or 6 years and had a '98 540 before that, so even though i know this won't be the most reliable car, but it will be fun to drive, comfortable, safe and I know what to expect as far as repairs (well, mostly anyway.) Her current car is more reliable and cheaper to fix, but when it does go wrong, it never throws a code or a light so I have no idea what's going wrong and have to end up taking it to the mechanic. With the BMW I know there will be great resources like this board with knowledgeable people.

I told my wife this is her car, but my toy :-) I'm trying to resist the urge to play with things... but if you had a bone stock X5, what would be the top 5 things you do to it? (Bluetooth, nav upgrade (I have the 4x3 now Mk2 or 1 now), headlight facelift, angel eyes, etc....)


Thanks,
Matt Atkins
