Hello, I just took up delivery of a e53, so greetings!!

[ny x5 guy]

Yep, I just got delivered from California a 2003 e53 with the following traits:

Titanium Silver
3.0 inline 6 cylinder motor
5 speed manual transmission
grey leather
45,000 miles
immaculate condition inside & out
1 owner & dealer maintained with full maintenance history

I just saw her on Saturday after having bought her about 3 weeks ago from a bmw dealer out in California, I'm in New York so had it shipped here. I have to say this car or truck or is it SAV? It took my breath away, it's so nice. It was definitely garaged as has no sun damage or dings/dents exterior is perfect and so is interior. I mean the previous owner drove it about 3,000 miles a year and took it to the dealer regularly to service it, brake fluid flushed every 2 years, oil changes every year, power steering flushed, fuel injection serviced and flushed, control arm bushings renewed, I mean this guy was crazy about over the top servicing of his machine.

Anyway, I'm very excited to own it as I've been driving the car my wife bought new back in 1998, for the last 15 years, a subaru impreza, which has been a good car but is very much been through the mill.

We have a baby 11 months old now, plus 3 pug dogs, so it was getting ridiculously cramped and I kept looking for stick shift bmw 3 series x drive wagons. When they did pop up they sold quickly and for around 30g, plus I knew deep down that wasn't really big enough for us. So one day I was checking the bmwusa site for pre owned and stumbled across the beaut I wound up buying.

Anyway, please to meet you fellas and hoping to come here and gather round the water cooler or hot stove depending on time of year and chew the fat with y'all.

cheers .. from the big apple.
