My first BMW


Just bought this 2000 X5 4.4i with 102k.

I am replacing a leaky radiator and the valve cover gaskets and seals. While I have it apart I am going to replace the water pump, spark plugs, oil, coolant, and a tranny service.

You say that now, this may be your first BMW, but it may also be your last, after you get beaten down with one thing breaking after another...lol!

As a Walmart greeter I could help you a lot with how you welcome new owners.
