Nice! Tell us a bit more about it. Mileage, options, when did you pick it up?

I had her since 06, with 23k , I have 140k now, I had the the timing guilds go,I didn,nt now until is was to late and the INDY in bedford started to rebuild the whole engine.
the guy was a jerk and I would not recommend him.
I then did the suspension on her,front and back ,new OEM spings,new engine mounts.
This year I had a INDY play around with the oil pan ,he ended up screwing that up, that then messed up the heads, had them rebuilt$7.5 k.
Now she is running great the guys at motor works west did a great job, the engine is now 100%, no noise valves, runs great.
I must admit I stuck it out with her, I hate having any one working on her.
The only thing I like to do is water pump , and replace the wind sheild.................and maybe the aluminum running boards..............

Still on the original transmission then?

I fear the same failure that you had. Did you have trouble sourcing engine parts for the 4.6?

What color interior? Any mods?

hi epdark , the parts where alittle time consuming to find,but BMW has most of the parts, I like this SAV because the newer ones are alot more complicated,these are pretty easy to work on if You can find a BMW specialist, the 4.8is are great SAV too,after 2005 I would,nt get involved......................
