Siena Red Metallic

Hey everyone!

I've been a lurker on the board for a while now - started when the 3 series started having issues - and with the help of all of the members here I knew exactly what to look for when I decided to buy an X. I became the proud owner of an 02 X5 Siena Red Metallic back in February. Already did the water pump with the help of a write-up I found on here. (Lots more useful information here than on a certain other board having to do with E46's )

I've already put about 7,000 miles on it and honestly love every second. Cant wait for the mountains to get hit to see how it handles the roads up to the slopes!

Just wanted to say Hi to all of you and look forward to coming here...

Alex

Late intro, but congrats on the X. Nice rare color.


What make you change the WP? I'm all about preventative maintenance so I'd do them all in one shot: seprentine belts, pulleys, thermostat, expansion tank, radiator, upper and lower hoses.

When you get the front driveshaft issue, do a search on here and send it to that member in Wisconny...!

NICE COLOR COMBO. I searched for a particular car for months..I wanted.....NO Black, No Silver or No White and it had to be a Sport Prem...and No Black interior
Well, it seems that ALL of the 06 and later cars were those colors...
So I finally settled FOR A SAPPHIRE BLACK with tan interior....
As you ride by dealerships, check the cars on the lot.....
