Our X's 8th Birthday...
~73,000 miles. It has had very few repairs other than oil, tires, and the usual maintenance items. Still runs like a top, and with recent new thrust arm bushings and a new set of Michey Diamaris it drives almost like new. It has hauled countless assorted big loads, 4 geezers w/golf clubs & stuff numerous times, has run us back and forth to NJ/NY dozens of times and, has basically run like a top through all kinds of weather. One cannot make it "shake its head" regardless of what it comes upon. Knock on wood, but I hope it's around for its 10th. A very, very capable car, imo. '01 3.0, 5 spd manual, sport, style 132 19s, etc. Thanks for looking! BR,mD     A fun pic, using slow shutter and "panning" the stationary car.     And, a fun/weird pic...not sure it worked, but different. Thanks for looking!

David, looks like you're taking great care of your X so it'll likely be a teenager before it moves out.
Are those pics taken with your new 40D?

Happy b-day to you X. It still looks great and current. The wheel upgrade gave the old girl some more legs but I still love that E53. People still think my '02 looks hawt.

Ray, yes...the new 40D. I like the cam, it's high quality and loaded with
"stuff", but it doesn't blow me away. Maybe I've become addled and numb or, I was expecting some giant step in "quality". Not beefing as it's a fine machine. I sort of miss my old 2 1/4 by 2 3/4 Pentax,my old Calumet 8x10 view camera, my Minolta 7iX and even my new paper weight the budget KonicaMinolta 5D, lol! All shot with the Canon 40D, 17-85mm IS lens, handheld, crummy, foggy low "light", most "underexposed" a tad, ISO 100, "landscape" button on for more color sat., etc. No PS, but some were fiddled with in Picasa and/or Zoom Browser. My long narrow driveway and the very cloudy/foggy weather up here limited the angles, shots, etc. Thanks, mD Last edited by motordavid; 09-22-2009 at 07:49 PM.

Sweet X5 as always. I love how it doesn't have any of the unnecessary options that break (*cough airsuspensioncough*) and the manual is a plus. Surprisingly mild on the mileage though.....8 years and 73k miles isn't bad.

Matt, it does have the rear air susp., via the Sport Pkg. Has never been a problem.
The list of things glitched/fixed is minimal, and except for maintenance items, the post warranty & ext warranty pieces R&Rd can be counted on one hand... knock on freakin wood!

Hope all is well, md! Jeff

Happy birthday to your X
 It looks top shape! Just like my 01, 4.4i Although I was not as fortunate as you as to not have alot of issues with the X. I do tend to have issues here and there but I guess after time once you fix the stupid issues, things tend to be okay.
