Plus the cost of full coverage insurance that is always required by the banks.

What ever happened to this guy who bought the cheapest X5 ever? Did he give up on fixing the vehicle?

Lost in cyber space.

They come in, post awhile, and disappear once the vehicle is fixed or sold. Dropping like flies lately..... Must be the fact that we are now at 10+ years old and most are over 100K. I am sitting at 58K and just drove her for the first time in 3 weeks on a Saturday run to put on an axle boot for another X5 4.6is owner. Couldn't get the clip to reset on the axle,other than that it would have been a 1.5 hr job including clean up. In December I will get to volunteer to do the other side inner and outer boots as they were cracking also. Fellow X5 owners, we have to keep them running....

I think that a lot of them leave or dump the X once they figure out the real cost of BMW ownership.

Like this guy tdog05 who considered me a douchebag because I told him that the bargain X that he brought and bragged about needs a new trans or a trans rebuild and that it was going to cost him more than what he paid for the X. He only posted that one thread and never hear from him again.

How many more years before I can become a long haul owner

I must have got lucky with my purchase. The vehicle rocks in every way and I've yet to have a major issue. I think the worst was a valley pan gasket, but that repair was fun.... I think I paid too much..., but what the hell.
