I'm having the worst time trying to post pics... I uploaded a few to photobucket and I've tried everything to get them on here. I don't have that many yet bc it's been at the shop more than I've had it. Anybody can walk me through it?

I'll tell you guys what has been done already in the past couple weeks. I bought this as a second vehicle because a) I've always loved the e53 x5. b) I have a silverado that is a pain in the butt to park and take out to dinner and stuff. c) got a great deal with it being a repossession and them not having any luck selling it for a year+

- both fuel sending units
- new halo (passenger side)
- electrical short in the harness inside the console
- ac recharge
- a couple blown fuses
- new key
- coolant flush
- oil change
- new spark plugs
- oil leak at timing cover and valve cover gaskets, (very slight)
- transmission leak (very slight)
- new speaker
- new hazard switch
- new washer pump
- new passenger front door latch
- new vapor barrier and seal in door ^^
- new knobs for nav
- rear wiper

Things the credit union did before I bought it...

- new brakes and rotors
- new window motor or regulator
- new battery
- new tires
I know I'm forgetting a couple things they did but I don't have their receipt in front of me....

Anyway as you guys all know this stuff added up fast. I'm pretty comfortable with knowing it will be 100% and should give me great ownership now. The place now doing the work offers a warranty program through preferred which I will get your guys opinions on. They had to make the X 100% before they could offer it.

Go to your album on photobucket, click on the picture you want to post. There should be a box on the right of the image that says "Image Links". Click inside the box of the last one (IMG code) to copy it.
Now go onto Xoutpost window and Ctrl-V the IMG code. Click on preview post and your image should show up. GL

^^^^ So I looked at your link for the wheels you are selling and I DO like those wheels... I bought a set of 87 reps non-staggered that I regret buying... Saw them on craigslist and jumped the gun without knowing much about the wheels. If you still have them in a while when Ive accepted how much I've spent on the x so far, we will talk.

Thank you very much!
