E70 X5 noob, questions, school me on X5

[DrumAdrian]

I'm gonna shop around for a used E70 with the 3.0 motor....I'll just be very meticulous when I'm looking for used X5s.

I agree, if you can work on your own car it's worth the cost of parts. I just don't have a lotta friends here in San Diego that wanna work on cars and most of the BMW CCA club members just pay a shop. (I'm still looking for others like me in the club)

It might seem crazy, but I was so desperate for a auto shop friend, I made this offer to a guy and work:

"If you buy and old rusty mustang and I buy an X5, I will help you work on your car whenever it breaks.......buy your have to do the same for my X5"

He passed cause he has a baby on the way.
