First BMW waited along time for it.

It's an 05 with 112k miles on it, picked it for 10k. After I bought it I found out why it was priced so low, the panoramic sunroof failed but I found a fix for it. I'm getting ready to send the MID off to fix the pixel issue. Other than that I love it.

Hope you still love it by the end of the year, the road ahead may be rough and unpleasant.

Why so much doom and gloom? I agree that E53 X5 isn’t the most reliable but not bad if you’re willing to wrench a little. I'm still loving my X5!

OP, congrats on your first BMW. Sweet color!

If all someone has to say to the first time owner is to scare them of their newly acquired SAV, that's not cool. Their experience might not be the same as yours. I own various E53s since 2005 and I'm quite satisfied with them.
