New to me 2004 X5 4.4i

Just wanted to introduce myself as I recently bought an X5. Long time BMW fan as I also own a 98 540i and a 89 325ix. I am the 3rd owner of the X5 and it only had 69,285 miles when I bought it a little over a month ago and now I'm at 71k and counting. My other 2 cars I've been fortunate enough to be the second owner of each car. In a way I'm kinda the second owner as the previous owner(my cousin) hardly used it. In the 2 years he owned it he only put 3,000 miles on it. And the first owner is a mutual friend of ours. I hope to be able to pick everyone's brains when a need arises and to generally browse through just to see what other people's experiences are with these great rides. And to hopefully put in my 2 cents worth. As soon as I get back from this roadtrip I'm on I'm hoping to be able to post a few pics of the X5. See ya.

Unfortunately not yet. Got a rag stuffed in plastic to keep the rain out. The front part is partially closed and the shade closes but I left the shade open to keep track of whatever moisture might get in. As soon as I have access to some tools I'm gonna try the repairs you suggested. Thanks again for the info

Yup. Front section somewhat closed but not quite all the way. Also got a sears roof top cargo box covering big section of roof. Provides some cover from rain.

FIXED!!!!! Well kind of..... Got rear section to close using the suggestion here in the forums but then front section refused to cooperate! Ended removing rear section(PIA not recommended took forever to get back in) and using key to close top. Still slightly off on top but good enough to keep elements out. For now.......

Welcome! Great to know the history of a X purchase.

Have you been a member of a forum in the past?

I've been on bimmerforum since 2011 and its great. Long time fan of BMW's. My first love was my father's 86 325e 5 speed. Now I got my own but better. Only one more I'm trying to get and thats my uncle's 74 2002. He bought it new and was going to give it to his son but he doesn't want it. I'm hoping he will sell it to me since it just sits in the driveway doing nothing. Waiting patiently....
