2003 X5 4.6is For Sale - LOWERED PRICE

For Sale: 2003 X5 4.6is, 204k miles – very good condition but broken front differential

MOTIVATED TO SELL AS-IS, WHERE-IS - LOWERED PRICE (SEE BELOW).

Silver 4.6is, alcantara interior, M5/M3 steering wheel, Eonon (factory-look) Bluetooth stereo. This car lived in Utah up until 2015, I purchased the car at ~120k miles (with a stack of receipts, including a new transmission installed at around 50k mile under factory warranty) and has been in Snowmass CO since then. I replaced the timing chain and tensioners a few months after purchase (knowing that is a weak point of these cars) and I have fastidiously maintained this vehicle at an independent BMW specialist since then. A stack of receipts in the time I have owned it (alternator, transmission and transfer case service, suspension air-bag replacements, countless suspension parts costing $$$, recently replaced ignition coils, driver’s seat electrics, numerous window regulators, to name a few),

The front differential recently died on me and the estimate to replace with new BMW parts is a little more than I can bear at the moment. This would either be a great project car for someone who has the time and inclination to replace the diff themselves, or to part out the car. The interior is in excellent condition – with the rare and very nice alcantara (with leather trim) with no tears or other marks. The 20” rims are in very good condition, with near-new Nokian Hakkapeliita all-season tires and near new Nokian Hakkapeliitta studded snow tires. Mechanically this car runs great, feels like there is still a lot of life left in the engine and transmission. Non-smoker’s vehicle. Exterior is in very good condition with a little oxidization of the paint-work on a few panels and a few minor scratches, but in all, still very good condition.

Note – the car is not driveable at the moment without the diff replacement, so this is an as-is, where-is pick-up by the buyer. I do not have the tools nor the facility to part-out this vehicle, so please do not contact me for parts. The buyer will need to pick up the car and tow it to their home at their cost.

Pictures below, feel free to reach out with questions via PM. NOW asking $1,950

Why not find a used one?

How much would you spend for a front diff?

I was actually thinking of selling the car before the diff went. This would be an opportunity for someone who has the time and ability to do this repair themselves.

There is one for sale in CO at the moment, he is looking to sell it $320 shipped so I could pass on the details to buyers and they could negotiate directly with him.

Good deal for a local. Nice truck for not a lot of money.

Good luck with sale.

In amazing shape for over 200K miles. A true testament to the results of responsible ownership .

its far too nice to part out and a front diff shouldn't be too hard to find.
