HELP/New to X5

[hypnotiqdmg]

Hello all, I'm a BMW fan ever since buying my E36/95 325i. My love carried over to the motorcycle line and I now have the new S100RR bike. I need an SUV to transport the bike and just take care of things around the house.

My little brother is in need of a good car so I figured it's time to pass down my baby and upgrade. I'm looking at a 4.8is that has every possible option I've wanted down to the leather/suede combo. My only problem is it has 93k miles on it. Should I but it? What are some of the issues fellow drivers have encountered repair wise above 100k? I purchased the 325 with 80k and have had my fair share of repairs and am interested in what I may be getting into buying with higher mileage.

Thanks to all for your input!

What year?

Does it have all the service records?

Tleong thanks for the quick response. It's an 05. The ad didn't say anything about having the service records. I'll call them back and inquire, I think the excitement of finally finding the "whole package" left me dumb to asking the important questions

Thanks,

if you do a quick search, you can find an instant answer to some of the "general problems" associated with a 4.8. However, off the top of my head, facelifted models are certainly more sturdy than their counterparts 01-04. Generally, if the service records are intact, you should pull the trigger.

Thank you greatly, I'll find out about the service records and keep you posted. Defintiely appreciate the advice.
