Nails in the tires and anything else you want fixed or documented because it's your best chance of getting it done with no headache.

Thanks. This isn't my first rodeo so I am pretty sure i have the obvious covered.

I am hoping to get some feedback specific to the '07 X5 and potential issues that folks may know about with respect to this model.

You bought it at a rodeo? Weird, but then again I've never been to North Carolina. I bought a lawnmower at a football game once, so I guess it's kind of the same.

You're not missing much.

I negotiated the purchased from a dealer 75 miles away so I am looking forward to the drive home!

I have a late 07 4.8i and have thus far experienced no major problems. Just crossed the 50,000 mark. Had a faulty electronic module that required a quick stop to the dealer, but otherwise the car has been bulletproof. I suppose you could ask them if the car has received the electronic updates that makes the transmission less jerky. Not sure what the service bulletin # is but a quick search of the forum should tell you. Congrats and enjoy.

The only issues I've had with my '08 with similar specs have been a rattling tailgate and a nonfunctioning windshield washer pump.

Congratulations, make sure to take it straight to the dealer to make sure you have the latest SIB update for your transmission, especially if you feel stalling. Nothing else. Congrats again.
