Xoutpost.com - 2005 4.8is for sale

time to move her to a new home, after 10 years with us. We are relocating and won't have room to keep her (or the need).

This BMW X5 is at the point, IMO, where it can either be driven until expired or refreshed and given many years and miles of new life.

Approaching 170,000 miles.
From Original window sticker, which I have:
Black Sapphire Metallic paint
Black Leather Interior
Heated Steering Wheel
Rear Side Airbags
Pano Roof
Dark Wood Trim
Navigation
Original MSRP $73,130

Maintained by prior owner and me very well. Serviced every 5k miles, broken items repaired as they occur, with the exceptions noted below. Service and body records available. Mechanically fine.

The known flaws are:
Paint: top surfaces show what looks like water spots, but I think came from acid rain near a coal plant. Needs either a very good polish or a wet sand and respray on those surfaces (hood, top, mirror caps). The rest of the paint is good but could use a detailing polish.

A spot of surface rust on the passenger front door, rear edge at bottom.

Wheels, which are black (anthracite I think) need refinish due to chipping and some rash. I've waited on this because I wanted to do it with tires in a few thousand miles. Tires actually are fine but I like to change early, especially going into rain/snow season for better grip.

Splash screen won't advance (no response to button push). New problem, no clue yet what the fix is. Would ignore but needed for radio access and NAV (although that is an old system). Repair, replace with like, or replace with modern unit (AVIN)?

Priced at $5,000 firm on this board.

Will list on other car sales sites soon at a bit higher price to leave room for haggling. The gang here has helped me over the years so you all get first crack at it, and best pricing.

PM me here or email at [email protected]. I have more pics and can take whatever you like. Located in 40515
