I was a 540 poster on RF and Bimmerfest since 2002. I think MrLabGuy was with me as well with his 540. I was part of the defection that lead to the creation of the wonderful X5World!

Didn't see my name on this list. I came over in late March 2005 from RF after Chris F. told me where all the cool people went.

Oh yeah, forgot that many people joined X5world in the first month. I joined RF in 2002 and I think this was my first post:

I just received my 2003 X5 3.0 last week and it does NOT have power folding outside mirrors. It has been mentioned on this board that this is new to MY2003, but not sure if it just applies to the 4.4/4.6 or also the 3.0. Just curious, has anyone confirmed which model/option has this? Thanks,

I started off on the roadfly boards around January 2001.

I started on Roadfly as well, came over here as part of the mass migration...

It isn't me, B-Line...
But, I found my original post from the Ol'RoadToadBored,
back in the day, (November 2001), when that was the only
joint for X5 bs:

Hi All, New to this board. Just stumbled upon it. Have read most of the X5 posts.
Our X5 is 2 1/2 mths old w/<4K miles.We enjoy it;it is a "2nd" car. Had Jeep Grand
Cherokee for 6 yrs before this.

My 2 cents on picks&pans:

Picks: Glitch free thus far.
Seemingly well constructed.Surpising torgue in all gears at all rpm.
More bells&whistles than the space shuttle.
Handles v.well for SUV.
Excellent gas mileage,esp on hway. Don't see yourself on the road.
The MBenz drivers look.
Pans: First gear is way too low. Almost a creeper.
Crying for a true OD 5th. What were they thinking?
Seating pos. is so-so. Maybe it's just me: right leg goes to sleep on long drives.
The v.good handling sucks you in;this is not a car!

$5 visors!! What pieces of junque. And, don't block much sun.
Black leather interior: shows everything.Pass on the black int,if you can. The open
"moonroof" doesn't do much in exhaust,etc. Just wind noise,when open.
The antitheft/brain red thing on rear view mirror looks like something off a $5 toy.
The computer can't read my gar. door opener.
Doesn't hold as much "cargo" as the ol' Jeep.
The doors close very "clunkily" and don't always latch.
Any comments/opins are welcome and appreciated.

Ques.: any exp with aftermkt snow tires/wheels? The orig tires are not for snow,imo.
I'm changing my oil/fil. at 4k+. 15k seems way tooo long for me.
Thanks for letting me rant and rave.
My Best Regards, MD"

And, a page of posts from that week back in Nov., 2001:

http://bimmer.roadfly.com/x5/message.../y2001w47.html

MiCkEy, Greg, ChrisF., and a few others were there then, also.
And, a bunch that don't come by here, or have moved on...

I was a knucklehead nearly 6 years ago, too.

Same idiot, jes'
older now.

My dealer is delivering my new X5 tomorrow morning to my house. It will have Premium/Sport/Auto/Climate/Xenon/Nav and dark wood. It will be Steel Grey/Black. I can't wait. I have a digital camera, so I will take lots of pics when I get it.
Yahoooooooo!
