I'm going to take a shot at this. It's a really long one, I admit, but it's worth a try:
I bought a 2003 4.4i X5 in October. It's Alpine white, and came with no known aftermarket mods. The VIN number ends with 48294. It is a one-owner lease return that was from the Los Angeles/SoCal area. The dealer I got it from up here north of Seattle buys lease returns, makes sure everything is in order, and sells them to really happy people like me. (I've purchased several vehicles from them over the years, and I'll buy from them again, when the time comes. I've never had such a satisfying car buying experience with any other dealer.)
Since X5World is such a popular site, I'm wondering if that previous owner of my X5 happens to be a member here. Given the owner-loyalty numbers, it's possible they could have gotten a new BMW, maybe even a new X5. So they could be hanging around here. Is that you? Or someone you know?
I'd like to contact that previous owner to learn if there is anything important about this truck that I need to know about. The CarFax I did on it before purchase didn't cite any problems, and I'm not having any serious issues now, but I'd still like to know if there is anything in the past that wasn't documented, or if that owner has any info they'd want me to know.
Are you out there?
Dave
