New E53 X5 3.0 owner introduction
Just picked up an E53 X5 3.0i Sport for my wife and I. New to the BMW SAV world, but previously had an E30 325es that was a great ride (and which I still miss). Here's a couple pics from when I picked it up:

First owner was a lease, and the second owner had it from 2004 to when I purchased it a few weeks ago. Pretty impressed with the X5 so far, but did have some unexpected (yet after looking on this site, common) issues with the DISA valve and the CCV system both crapping out shortly after purchase (was leaving a smoke screen behind me before fixing). Hope to learn a lot from members on here, and contribute what I can once I become more familiar with the E53. |
Looking great! Welcome to the forum. I grew up in Roseburg so nice to see people from Oregon on here

Sport Package is always a great find!

Welcome! You'll love your new ride...

Great looking car, congratulations. Looks pretty darn well loaded except for Sport Seats (additional option on the 3.0, not included in the Sport Package). Again, congrats, beautiful looking X5!!

^Something I still complain about to this day, I never got sport seats on my Sport Package equipped '03

Welcome!
