In all seriousness though I'd really like to show the car off in 10-15 years. This was really the super sedan that started the horsepower war that we see today in the industry. This was also back in they day when BMW was really on top of its market and had some really hot products.

It also has a really cool option you could only get for 2000. It has the 'all leather' package which gives you leather everywhere you look, including the dash. The 2000 model was the only one that used genuine leather (2001 and ups got synthetic stuff) and this option was available with the 'sport' interior (aluminum trim, etc.) for 2000.
Sweet ride, Chris!! I can tell it's not your daily driver.

That thing's gonna be a classic, if not already.

Juan,

Our 2001 X5 has over 118K miles....it's a keeper! I got over 290K miles on my E30 325i before getting rid of it. Just do the proper maintainance and the BMW will serve you well.

Have fun and keep on driving!!

What is this going to do to my trade-in value?

We may be driving up to NJ in May (another 1300 miles round trip), and I am really starting to worry about this. We would drive my wife's Jaguar (X-Type), but I hate that car (which is partially the reason why my X has so many miles -- she hates it too). I'm glad the lease on that jag is up in June.

Or... should I just enjoy my car and not worry about it?

Opinions? Thoughts? Comments?


thanks!

Juan

Yeah, my service advisor has commented on what a good customer I am. I see a tiny scratch, and I have it buffed out. He's mentioned what good care I take of my X -- and, well... of course! Why wouldn't I?
