Our X5's 7th Birthday...
-Built 8/01 -Delivered 9-15-2001 3.0, Sport, Prem, Cold, Activity, 5 speed manual, etc. Currently has 67,000+ miles on it. It has been quite trouble free, knock on wood; other than yearly oil changes, the list of "stuff fixed" is pretty short: 1-Nov. '01: recall for Aux Cooling Fan replacement 2-Jan '02: dead batt., towed in, spent a week at Stlr; they finally dignosed and fixed the CD radio fault that would turn on radio below 37 degs and run down batt. SI# 65-12-01 3-August '05: Final Stage Resistor replaced and new front brake pad and rotors, under Extended Maintenance: ~45,000 miles 4-September '05: water pump replaced under about to expire oem warranty. ~45,500 miles. 5-Oct '07: orig. battery replaced, as precautionary item, by me. 6-"Insp ll", transaxle & manual transmission fluids, belt dampner changed by an excellent Indie in Asheville. Also, the orig.rear brake pads & rotors were changed by them at that service. ~62,500 miles Pretty damn glitch/repair free over the past 67K miles and 7 years, imo. I suspect some items to fix will come up on the ol'jukebox in the next year or so, but overall, it has been a remarkable car and fairly problem free. New tires for the added 132s are due next spring. Most of you have seen the hundreds of X5 pics I've put up here, but I took a batch of quick snaps on the X's birthday; no detail job, just a wash and the once a year Zaino job is good to go. So, some Birthday Pics of our old '01...I hope we get another fairly trouble-free 2-3 years out of the ol' beast. Thanks for looking. BR,mD   Some driveway snaps:      Some goofing around pics:

And, a couple of funny ones, from our "Delivery Photo", way back
on 9-15-2001. We bought it from Bell BMW in far northwest NJ, just below our home then in Warwick,NY. The sales guy was willing to track down a manual trans w/sport for us; fairly rare and they found it at Hendrick in Hickory, NC. Coincidental because our new house on the Mtn was almost done then, in western NC, about an hourish from Hickory! NEway, VZ was 45 then, I was 54, with the pink legs, extra 20 lbs and the Boston Blackie hairdo...I look and feel better today, at 61.  They called us by VZ's last name, as the car was/is registered to her... She let's me drive it anytime I want to, though.

Cool shots! I wonder, were sportseats not available with sport package back in 2001? Liking the 3-pedal though; not available on the current X5s unfortunately.
I'm close to overtaking you on the mileage though!
