Right on, way to keep your ride on the road.
I will have to see if there is an enthusiast for something like this.

The interior def smells like its new.
Thank you for the post.

This is really something else man thank you for posting this. Do you take it out once in awhile to knock anything out of it keep it moving? I've heard of the tires getting flat spotted and maybe the wheel bearings can corrode. The brake fluid might need changed by now.

It would be really cool to do an auto to manual conversion, and even that diesel swap that was posted the other day. Either something like that or just keep it perfectly original. I do like the color. Let us know what you end up doing with it.

Wow! So that’s what my engine bay could look like… I’ve got some scrubbing to do!

Gorgeous X5. Great share 🙂 - tough decision you've got. Is it sentimental to you? I still regret selling my Dad's old E28.

That said, I couldn't have sold that for as much as Bdc101 said yours might be worth... that kind of cash would be tempting!

I have to ask... Why are these in pdf? This format is notorious for viruses.

What's wrong with the normal Jpeg?

Incredible car though, thank you so much for sharing :thumbup:

I've owned two E53's and several other E39 E46, etc.

I would sell it. If you are dying to own one, sell this one for big money ($20k+) and go buy a used one with 150k miles from a rust free state for a small fraction of what you sold this for.

That vehicle is a true gem. I would not be in a hurry to sell it. There's no point in driving it. Keep it pristine as it is now and let the world know about it as you've started doing. Someone will pay very high $$$ for it - they just need to discover this gem. Good luck!

I do pull it out to the driveway a few times a month weather permitting.
I plan on scheduling a visit to the dealership soon .
I think I will leave it stock for the next enthusiast to do as they please with it.

It really isn't sentimental, my parents are alive and well.
Sorry to hear about the regret.
I am hoping I could get something like what Bdc101 mentioned.

The photos are in PDF format because of the site attachment size restrictions.

The Jpeg was massive.

Thanks, no problem.
