Several trips between Dallas, TX and Spring Hill, FL, 1100 miles one way, 2 trips towing a 6000lb tandem axle box trailer. Bought my '03 X5 4.4 with 100k miles 18 months ago, has over 145k miles now.

I Wish It could be more then 400km, but in my small countrey, can't go farther... Unless I go over in Russia ))))

Longest trip, 1.553 miles = 2.500 kilometers. Doing it again in about 3 days time, hope she holds together, my alternator (or so I'm told) is making a high pitch 'I have a supercharger installed but I don't', kind of sound...

thanks...im looking at either an oxfford green 3.0 in portland or a mahogany brown above seattle so it would be a fairly long drive

2-3 annual summer trips from NC to NJ, ~700 miles one way, and several annual migration trips from western NC to Naples, FL...~800 miles one way.

Even with ~80k miles on our '01, I wouldn't hesitate to get in it and go anywhere in the US.

On those 'long distance away' cars, look at it hard, and maybe get a local poster here, or indie to look at it before you boogie all the way there, and have 2nd thoughts...

I just bought my 4.8is in SoCal. and drove it 2255 miles to my driveway. We left Cali at 3:30 Friday and landed home at 4:30 Sunday. Over 2/3 of the trip was riddled with poor weather ranging from freezing rain to blizzard to extreme wind with ice and snow. The wife and I took turns driving. Our longest stop along the way was to have dinner in Denver with her cousin. Would I do it again? I say lets go! But I have to warn you, not everyone is as adventurous as we are...

I drove my X from Portland, OR to Phoenix, AZ for school at ASU just three weeks ago. She is still running strong.

One of the best trips I ever took: LA to Connecticut for a relocation.

Do a PPI before you buy it to boost your confidence. If the car in good shape, it should have no problem at all. I drove 2700mi from Seattle to Atlanta, not in the X5 but in a 2001 E39 with no problem at all.
