New Guy
 

Hey guys,
I have been reading the forums for a month and finally purchase a BMW X5. Well tomorrow my X5 will arrive; a purchase from E-Bay. She is a 2004 4.4i with 19,500 miles.
I am so glad to find you guys and read all your posts and articles.:thumbup:

Chas

Welcome to Thunderdome!

Welcome Chas - you have great taste in vehicles!!!

Thanks for the warm welcome, I sure feel good hanging out here.

The color is Titanium Silver Mettallic with a black leather interior. I wanted Black on Black and the last second changed to Silver.
I actually bought the X5 on the 6th, but it is schedule to be here on the 18th. I am guessing not normal for a West coast guy buying a car from the East. I'll die if it rusts on me, because my budget was for a 2001 X5.
Then I seen some 2002 and liked the rear seat adjustments. Then I found a 2003 4.6is - WOW!! But the miles were high and those tires are $1600 to replace. Anyhow more later.
O yea - I am an UCLA grad. - but I am not a kid. lol 44 years old.

congrats ur gonna love the X.

Congrats&Welcome! The X will not be a she when you put the 20's!

Ha! No 20's for me. I actually drive my car about 25,000 a year. My company pays for my rubber, but will do a freak on me for replacements each year and a half.
I do envy the guys that have the 20's on this board. I will say I really really really love the 87's and the new 4.8is wheels. They are so hot.

Welcome!!! I am sure you'll enjoy. Jeff (UCrewX5) says it right that xoutpost.com - where you come for the information but stay for the friendships..

These are the pictures from the E-Bay listing:

I think my 1st mod(s) will be Cluster rings and Metal pedals.
Next is BlueTooth and have the wheels chromed. I'll take any suggestions.

Pictures look great! Congratulations! You have to do Al Running Boards and 4.8 body kit.

Welcome and congrats - be sure to post pics! :thumbup:
