GamecocksE53 is on a distinguished road
New X5 Owner!!

Heys,

I just wanted to stop by and introduce myself. My name is Doug and I am a new E53 owner! On Saturday I picked up a silver 04 3.0 with every option. The car will mostly be used to tow the boat and to the mountain bike trails. The inside and out are in PERFECT shape. No dents, scratches, fading, etc. I was shocked to see the condition because the truck has 140k on it. My dad is in the car business and I was told that I got the car for about $2,000k under wholesale so I jumped on it.

I had a BMW Tech do a pre purchase inspection and it passed with flying colors. He said it was the best BMW he has seen with that many miles. Then again, who hasn't heard that from their mechanic? I doubt I will be doing much with aftermarket stuff since it is not a daily driver. It did come with an extra set of 20" chrome rims that are hideous and I am currently plasti dipping. I have DL the most recent NAV disc and plan on updating that soon.

My current DD is an Audi a3 s-line (sorry bmw faithful), but I have had an E46 330 ZHP and a Mini Cooper S JCW, so I am somewhat familiar with BMW and German odds and ins. With that being said, what are the first, lets say, 5 preventative things I should look into/do?

I know everyone wants to see photos, I will post some as soon as I am out of the office!

Thanks a lot yall!
Doug
