@mac,
As chatcher said, don't get too worried about what you read on internet. Those who don't spend a fortune on repairs are not heard from much. I have only done 60K miles on my 2008 4.8i. I had extended warranty through Nov 2012. Had Automatic Hold button and iDrive screen replaced under that. Only one real repair in last 3 years. The transmission leak that cost $1,105 at BMW dealer. All the rest of the repairs add up to less than $1,000. So repair costs not been an issue at all. Maintenance is not cheap because I go to BMW dealers. No decent indies around me at all. Tires and brakes are pricey. Note that if your battery hasn't been replaced, that that should be done.

I will not try to scare you but, hopefully this is what you can do on Monday. I own a 2008 x5 with a 4.8 and 159K on it. ( a little validation) I would immediately do a per-purchase inspection at an INDY shop (not at BMW dealer) - check for oil leak from "gasket to nowhere" (oil seal on alternator bracket) (mine went out at 130K) - check transfer case front and back shaft play (my just went out at 159K) - check valve seals and if repair was done (mine are leaking and it will be a 4K or less repair) - check to see if fuel pump was replaced (call to service by BMW) (mine went out at 137K) - check ac compressor (mine went out at 142K) Each one of these repairs is something I would expect to fail. Prices are about a $1K and up for each (except fuel pump) Side Note: Here are repairs I did before 100K - coolant transfer pipe with valve valley cover gasket - rear air bag (suspension) - alternator - throttle body - rear drive axle assembly -transmission fluid flush because there is a pipe with leaky seals inside (this needs to be done) That's about it in the last 90K/3 years I've owned the X5. Add regular service and 2 battery changes. |

That's because you don't want to jinx the truck.
