Could always get the Zionsville aluminum radiator. Works great on the race car!

Buy the Bentley manual so you have a step by step way to take it apart and put it back together. Digital pics will help you remember where things go too. Take it slow and things will be fine.

I prefer the TIS but I'm sure this is quite nice.

Turner motorsport sells them as do many other places. Google or search ebay for the Bentley X5 Manual and see what pops up. Sorry, I forget where I got mine (ebay I think for a new one). They are not cheap but they are phone book sized (major metropolitan area, not Yankton, South Dakota sized.

Ok, cool...I appreciate the help...Would one portion of the repair be easier for me to do, such as swapping out the radiator, and then letting the indy do the other stuff??

Once you have the radiator out, the water pump should be easily accessable (though I've never done it on an X5, just e30/e36/e34/e46.
I've never had to do the valley pan gasket (knocking on wood as I type) so I don't know how hard it is. I'm sure others will chime in.

What about the electronic version of what you're talking about. It's called a BMW X5 Series E53 Factory Repair Service Manual 1999-07. Check this out on eBay for $9.99: BMW X5 Series E53 Factory Repair Service Manual 1999-07:eBay Motors (item 150392258490 end time Dec-25-09 20:40:23 PST)

I don't think you need remove the radiator to reach the water pump on the X5 - just the fan clutch, belts, h20 pulley, lower & upper rad houses. Sure it would allow for more room but I think it's already pretty spacious in there.
