Bye Bye 2003 E53...
I'll miss you!
 It was a great car but at 160,000 the time finally came. Between gas prices (it was my DD) and maintenance repairs, I had to start thinking long and hard about getting another car...so today I picked up another BMW. Although with the price increase of even entry level models I'm not sure I can even afford BMW's anymore. This may be my last one. Not good. Anyway, I owned my X5 the longest out of all my cars and I already miss that fickle car!  I don't know many of the "newer" members here but enjoy your X while you still have it. It was a fun car for me to have and drive.

I traded the X and I shouldn't have done that. Live and learn I guess.

I'm feeling ya.
I've got a little over 90K on the 2005 X and will be getting a daily driver for the express purpose of keeping the X. Like you I cannot afford a new one at current prices so i struggled with deciding weather I should sell or not. But I believe i'm leaning heavily towards keep it because I know if I get rid of it i'll be sorry. In the meantime I hope you will find some Joy with your new ride. Quote:

Thank you! I'm nervous with the so called bad winter people are already predicting. The sad thing is, no matter what the weather conditions were, I always felt safe in my X. Always. I'm not sure I'll have the same feeling in this car but I did want something totally different from what I had. So I definitely got that.
Honestly, if the X was not my DD I would have kept the car longer, no doubt about that. Gas and maintenance fees were rising rapidly at 160,000. A friend of mine wanted to buy my X but he wasn't giving me a good deal either, and trust me, I was being fair. He was also lowballing me. And I can't stand the idea of strangers having my number and calling me about my car and wasting my time. So I took the easy way out. It was too easy tho. A part of me wishes I had sold it to him because I'm curious of the mileage he would've reached before anything major happened...I wanted to get it up to 200,000. Plus he owns several cars and enjoys working on all his cars so he would have saved himself a lot of money on labor, unlike myself. Quote:

out of curiosity, what does is cost monthly to drive an X5 in the USA?
In the netherlands you pay for a diesel car, 100 euro insurance & 200 euro taxes each month (total of 390 dollar). diesel price is 1,50 euro per liter (about 4 liter is 1 gallon?) 6 euro per gallon = 7,8 dollar per gallon...
