any tips? Yeah, a good warranty unless you have deep pockets. Good luck.

I agree with this tip! I've had more problems with our 2007 X5 4.8 than any other car we've ever had. I'm on this forum now looking what it SHOULD cost to get our 3rd $1000 oil leak fixed.

You can expect the rear shocks to leak down, the throttle to stick, transmission problems, electric seat problems (which BMW refused to cover even though they failed under warranty). Oh, and did I mention repeating oil leaks?

Oh man.

Mine has over 100k miles on it too. Guess I should get the 3rd party warranty.

Let us know what you figure out with that. I'd be surprised if you could get any decent warranty after 100k.

Yeah, I'd be interested in what you find out on a warranty as well. Ours has about 80K.
