Time to say goodbye to the 4.8is
The 4.8is is one of the badest vehicles on the road. It's exhaust note is like music, it will blow off most cars on the road and even give an e46 M3 a run for it's money(ask me how I know). it's also roomy, comfortable, luxurious and can tow 6000lbs. Unfortunately, it's also one of the most expensive vehicles to maintain once it gets over 100k
My wife and I are heartbroken. We feel like we're taking our favorite dog to the pound. We've put about 24k in repairs in the two years that we've owned it and that's with me doing most of the work.15k of those repairs were warranty: the trans & diff replacement as well as the alternator bracket gasket oil leak which are all high cost repairs. Everything else we did a our selves: air suspension nightmare, Suspension components, brakes, electrical gremlins, trunk lid actuator, mirrors, etc,etc Now that we have 7 month old twin boys, they are our new money pit  (they are the reason I haven't been on here in so long)I'd like to thank all of you on this site for providing a great forum full of friendly, enthusiastic people. I haven't done anything to the X5 without looking here first. We'll see some of you at Bimmerfest East...one of the best times I've had at any meet and one the most bad ass representations of the mighty E53. I didn't get much time to hang out last year because Kristen had her 135 in the show and I had my e46 with another forum. Here's the listing my wife put on Craig's list. we'll probably just trade it in later this week at Kristen's dealership. 2005 BMW X5 4.8is LeMans Blue 355HP V8 AWD We have an OEM load space divider a complete OEM cargo liner and LED angel eye bulbs that we'll probably sell separate. Good luck with your X5s... may they serve you well for years to come!

GLWS. If you trade it in, what's next?
The "iS" is still one of the best SUV on the road today. If $15k was warranty works then you didn't put $24k into it. Some new owners might find the figure scary.

I'd say considering the cost of the trucks when new, if 15k of 24k was covered under warranty and you got the major things out of the way, I'd say you were well caught up and probably the next owner should have mostly trouble free years ahead.
Good luck man we are gonna miss you on here, great price your X is beautiful. All the LeMans are getting sold, first TwinsPoppa, then relentless1 in South Jersey, and now sockethead in South Jersey.

We put the wheels from Kristen's car onto my black e46 and it looks sick. She put VMR v701s on hers and it looks great! Here's a pic of the twins with fohawks lol. They are 7 months old now... you can understand what we've been going though, eh?  Quote:
