Welcome. We have the same year MT. I bought mine with the same mileage.

There is a manual transmission registry thread you can introduce yourself to as well.

Thanks Squidzilla, I just did the introduction in the manual registry thread :iagree:

Thanks puddinboo! Yes.....more than I'm willing to admit to!:bustingup

there's a lot I want to do to mine but just don`t have the cash to do it all at once .I just do a little bit here and there. maybe in a couple of years it will be where I want it.

Got her back in the fall. She's been a lot of work. But, when you see a picture like this, it makes it totally worth it.

Just getting ready for first big tow trip of the season with my 414 HP, 4.8 liter (3.0 L with 224 HP up front + 1.8 L with 190 HP in back!). Let's see: 140,000 miles on this front driveshaft and original transmission fluid - should be fine, right :thumbup:

2002 X5 3.0 272,500 miles

Tried to reduce the resolution of a pic and ended up with a BMW Smart car :rofl:.....

Still looks better than the E70's. :rofl:

No doubt.

Here's a proper pic. Aug '03 production, almost 200k miles.....

Just picked her up a couple weeks ago:
