Weather keeps playing with my emotions, gets nice for a day or two then rains or snows. Supposed to snow tomorrow after two 50plus degree days :dunno:

I'm glad you kept your X :thumbup:

X5 cross country trip March 2011
 

I just completed a cross country trip with my X5 towing 5,000 pounds in a 17 foot trailer. The X5 had 92,000 miles on the clock and no issues since purchased.

It was quite a trip, six days and approximately 3,000 miles long, started out in Virginia and ended up in Seattle Washington.

We had to drive through all kinds of weather including but not limited to rain, hail, fog and snow at different parts of the country, with no issues, however, with the constant fear of jackknifing.

On board I had all kinds of code readers, BMW diagnostic software on my laptop, emergency internet access, power converters, spare engine parts like cooling system hoses, fuel filter, work shop manuals, etc. and luckily I didn't have to use any of it as we had no issues.

The X5 is a 2002 model with the 4.4 engine, what a work horse it was, going through high elevation mountain areas, effortlessly. The transmission had a tendency of downshifting all the time to maintain my set cruise speed of 70 MPH, so I experimented with with the sport and manual shifting modes. I discovered that manual shifting was best for minimal automatic downshifts.

The engine ran cool the entire trip with very low oil consumption.

When we arrived at our final destination we parked and several hours later the left rear tire went flat, it picked up a nail on the way. The flat was repaired and the MX5 Michelin tires now have over 50,000 miles on them with no issues prior to this.

What a great trip it was! My X5 turned out to be the ultimate driving machine, I'd do this trip again without any fear, this SAV is built BMW tuff.


Sorry about the low res cell phone pic below, this picture was taken at a rest stop in MN just before the hail storm.

Is the car in back in tow!!?

No that's my wife's 335 parked behind the trailer.

i must say that reading your story on your trip with the X made me feel proud to be a X owner. I only have 47k on mine but realy thinking on a couple of trips to miami and houston texas. feeling a little confident :)

I have been reading these boards for a little bit now since I just picked this 04 4.4l up about a month ago.

Figured I would start with a post in here. I'm getting it ready for a trek across the country to Colorado next week.... we'll see how it does up Pikes Peak

fraserp, thank you.

Ludjak, those are depo headlights, I think I paid $480 for them.

Nice X
Love the color!

sps12b: very nice car. But why so small pictures? It's hard to get an impression on so small images, and the time of slow 14.4 kbit modems are long gone... :)

UMMM...how in hell did you get the wheels and BRAKE disc so CLEAN...OMG
Good luck with the "new" X5....

Love it!! :thumbup:

Thank you, alot of elbow grease and some meguiars works wonders lol, I love her the only problem is petrol in northern Ireland is around £6.50 a gallon roughly $10.7 American dollars. Sorry about large pictures but it's my first post.

More pics please! your X looks in as new condition. I sometimes wonder about M badges on E53s but I guess if any model deserved to have it, it would be a 4.8is, I'd like to drive one some day. Your fuel is obviously expensive in Ireland compared to Aus our problem here is the distances we sometimes have to travel, hope your X is as good to you as it looks.

Thank you again, yes I only put m badges on this week for a trail, there is so little x5 is,s here no one really knows what it is so I thought the only way was to stick the badges on lol and am I right to say they reserved estriol blue only for m,s lol. I guess if any other badge it should be alpina as they done the work on the engine. Would like to do the headlight update and mybe lower 30mm but getting the right parts here is a problem mybe some of my uk x5 drivers can point me in the right direction.

Doesn't your 'IS' have air bag suspension which is adjustable? I've dropped mine by 30mm (coil fr & re) I know 10mm isn't much but I should have gone 40. I've put some BMW Motorsport International badges on my X there off a E36 M3, I dont have your HP but I've got 615Nm under the lid (remaped 3.0d ) and some of other mods. Don't forget the pics. ( the M badges look great )

Huntertec that is a lot of torque Enough for any man lol . She has air at back and springs up front, If i lower front with 40mm springs will she skier her self at the back to level or do I need to put in lower links at back to fool it?

Better to do a search on that one I know there are a number of posts dealing with rear air suspension.

For some reason I'm not really a fan of silver, but this looks really nice! Is this somewhere in SD? The park looks familiar...

I pick silver because its the easiest color to care for. Ive had my share of black and its a nightmare to have. I spent half the time cleaning it than enjoying it.

You are correct! The car originally came from San Diego

Here's a pic I took on a cell phone from several months ago when we had hail in San Diego. I've never seen anything like this around here before.

Hello gang, my 1st post, just picked up my first X two days ago, it is 2003 4.6is in my favorite color, sorry for mobile pics ... ill post some better pics.

Wife and I visited some relatives in Lake Placid, NY last weekend.... apparently, the locals like the X5.

If that was a 4.8is and the airbag gave out... It would suck to be that poor squirrel.

None the less. Nice pix!

Nice to see that other species appreciate the X as much as we do :)

Great pic!

Hello Everyone,

Nice!
Do you have spacers on this picture?
Are you running 315s / 275s??

blacked out truck......FOR sale WHeels n Tires....B/O.....tires are 90%...pirelli scorpion zero...pm for offers.....or email for quick [email protected]

i love @FTara's truck!!...X6m wheels....came close to getting them ..till i saw his...and i was like damn! damn! damn!...sick assssss truck on x5 w/x6m wheels.

Thanks for the compliments guys! ALOT of work went into the truck to get it where it is now!

@ Turbo_Bimmer, Im not running any spacers. Its just the wheels on the standard 275/315 setup. The rear rims are 11" wide, so they pretty much come out to the edge of the fender as it is.

;before and possibly after.....COMPLEMENTS TO "OXBLOOD8" FOR PHOTOSHOPPING THE BLACK RIMS..

just got new rims and tires put on today...so happy for my e53 sav....here you go "xblood...

Nice!

thank you T2k...

X5SND, truck looks fantastic. :)

Feels has better handling..

Thanks dude!

Just wait until its lowered! Its a world of difference!

Any advice on lowering suspensions?

2001 purchased in Germany and shortly brought to hawaii i still have original invoice its 3.0i with every option dealer could install back in the day. 22" with pirelli tires. Seen on this picture is roof rails that are not there anymore...removed for sleeker look:rofl:

Coming from tire size 255/50/19(F). 285/45/19 (r). Switching to. 275/35/20. And 315/40/20. Take more gas? I notice that it eats more gas on my truck since i put new wide ass tires on... I thought it would make that much diff. But damn. Gas was like twice im spending..help!!

Mass of wheels.
Check alignment.

seems to be a trend here and no one says anything but why do people put the M badge on their X5?

Yes ill do that @beltcap... Many thanks.... And yes ido notice that... Kinda disgrace to the x5 world.... Its seems like trying to be M power not sav power

Ganda kuya! ;)

wahahahah...tnx @fullmetaljacket...ok lang.

Pioneer
 

Do you have a picture of the Pioneer installation you could share?

M Badges
 

I believe that the general concensus here is that M badges are a resounding "no-no" on any X5 other than the X5M.

...however, mine has a small M on the bottom of my (e46 M3) steering wheel that would leave a silly gap if removed. Otherwise, there is not and will not ever be other M badges on my X5.

Dam this thread blew up.108 pages.ill post pics of mine next time im off from work

Latest changes
 

Hi all, thought I would post the most recent of the X5. Changes made from my last post are Depo lights, black badges and black 2 pac on the wheels.

Sorry for the poor quality photos, it is pouring down rain outside so just cleaned it up and used the iPhone.

Hope you all like :)

Milsey.... I've been thinking of painting my X5 badge how much of a pain is it to remove and replace I'd imagine you'd have to replace the 2way tape on the back.

Wilkoturbo... I haven't seen that colour in a non " is " model before. I like your X but Jeremy Clarkson wouldn't like the caravan :D

Ha ha very funny I love top gear ! The x is a limited le mans blue :)

sorry for the shitty pics

i love the black X.thing about the gray ones is they werent awesome enough to either be silver or black so its as if it tried to pic a spot in between

So the //M badge on your lid make any faster.
I don't understand why people put //M badge on non //M cars :doh:

Mate I ordered a new set of badges and then used plasticote to paint them. I gave them about 5 coats I think. All I did was mark the old badges with masking tape, rip them off, clean up the residue with acetone, then stick the new ones on. The new ones came with their own double sided tape/adhesive as per the factory.

Overall it was pretty easy. You in Sydney?

I agree dude, but end of the day I'm not sure why people keep bringing this up. It is HIS car and if HE likes, fine by me. I do agree with you though. Kinda weird. But ehhh?

Those darn front plates really ruin the look!!!

i love your ride

Mahalo. :)

My ride 2005 X5 4.4i (before I install the running boards)

That makes me want to get rid of my running boards... looks tidier IMO and less like a 4x4.

Running boards
 

I tend to agree with you (since I have the stock trim - lol), but I sure like those big 166s over my 18" 74s.

Style 337 reps with 275/45/20 Cooper LTZ all round and 30mm spacers on the back.

Nice wheels! They make the car look about 5 years younger.

Thanks ! I wasn't sure how they would suit the e53 but they work really well :)

Thanks J.Belknap! Like the angel eyes in your avatar. Were those hard to install? Anyone else have advice on the angel eyes/halos?

Mine is a sport pack... I am starting to dislike having them on the car TBH... all they do is gather mud and dust etc.. not like I ever step on them! :rofl:

Might take em off!

BMW M300's on my 2004 4.8is :thumbup:

love the look of these wheels on the E53

Alec, install of the DEPO Pre-facelift Headlamp Housings w/ 60 LED AE & Auto-Level could be done in a free evening, at a casual pace. I went about it a different way electronically, that added an hour, for what it's worth. Not sure how that would apply to your facelifted housings. (What year is yours?)

- J

Pictures from the back please??? or an angle shot. Thinking about these for my alpine E53.

Thanks

Thank @Naz... What can mr bmw2 do? Any opinions i really wanted the ambers taken off and corners lights want to turn on when making turns thats it.. No daylight corners for me

Thanks! I really appreciate it! I picked it up yesterday and have already put on 300+ miles. I love the car...so much fun to drive! :D

Congrats, beautiful car:thumbup:

That only has 12k miles? Wow! Great find. From the looks of the plate it's out of Idaho?

Congrats!

show's negative character from you.

Thanks! The car now has a little over 13K miles after the weekend. I drove it to the coast (Lincoln City/Newport) and back on Saturday... The car is actually from Ohio, but they do kinda look like Idaho plates...

It's nice to see a fellow Portlander on these boards... :thumbup:

Again congratulations on a great car! I know it's hard to stop driving a BMW so it's good to find an endless road.

Be sure to take some back roads home via Skyline/German town Road and feel it hug the corners.

Maybe we'll see each other in passing:thumbup:

Another piece of advice, if you spend a little time every so often inspecting your X it may save you headaches later on. I love staring at her anyway so it gives me some quality time with my X5. I have cut off potentially expensive repairs by notecing signs of paints of failure through these sessions.

:iagree:

love your X The Dude. i want those rims soooo badly.deff the best looking rims for the X IMO

Looks very good with those rims.

Just installed the running boards!

Looks fantastic! I think that'll be my next project too!

What a nice car! Brand new!!!!

Brand new??? :dunno: That's an E53 Model years 1999-2006. It's 2011.:nanana:

James - did you get the air ride fixed?

No, not yet. I have to take it to the BMW dealer for them to do it. (Friday Aug. 26) None of my friends here in Sweden seem to have the right pc program to do it with. Even mine will not work. :dunno:(AutoEnginuity 7.4) But I’m not too worried about the ride. It is stuck in the lower passion and has not lost any air yet and plus, the ride is sooooo smooooth! Kind of like it & it look’s cool too!!! :thumbup: I’ll post more after I’ve been to BMW with it.:beerchug:

I just love your detail job!!! :thumbup: Looks "GREAT" :beerchug:

Hahaha... :nanana:
Looks like a new one for me, that's what I said...

classy

It must be Borat's car ! :D

I love your car - how much spacers do you have?

That looks soooo good !!!! Side steps or "running boards" is a must for me - it's a part of the "Sports package" here in Europe and I think it improves the look of the X5 a lot !!

Well done !!!

Thanks, they are 25mm spacers in the rear. H&R part # 50757252. (DRA style)

Well I have finished all the mods I am doing, well nearly. Only want to do an M3 steering wheel fit and black out the titanium interior parts with matte black Di Noc.

Mods include;
20x10 and 20x11 E70 black wheels
Depo Headlights
HID fogs
Led Tails
MkIII update
DICE Mediabridge
Black Badges
New BMW Badges
Skid plate
Black grille
X-Pipe
Camber correction pins

Just two months old - to me. :thumbup:

where did you get the HID fogs?

A local vendor here in Oz.

Very nice, looks to be in great condition

Milsy your car looks similar to mine in places.

Next for me is 4.6/8 rear diffuser and wheels (either colour change or new wheels). I've always had black wheels but think I may go for a dark gunmetal on this

My X5 & 325xi
 

I just recently sold my Black X5(E53) and this is my Silver X5(E70) now. Sorry for the poor iphone pics.

Here is my P.O.S
 

I just bought this thing, and I hate it...nothing but issue after issue..I also want to throw a shout out to ACURA 101 WEST in Calabasas Cali..you can suck my dick...these people totally ripped me off..failed to mention this pile was in a accident and covered up, all new front end paint that is fading after two months now..the front bumper is totally bent behind a new bumper cover..looks like someone hit a big pole..front rotors are warped, and didn't notice until i really had to use the brakes, thanks to california LA shit for traffic. Already have about 2000.00 in parts replaced, front end now is creeking like crazy, and driver door window regulator just broke last night...I might as well have SUCKER tattooed on my forehead since that's what the dealership read when I walked in there door....nothing worse than buying a car with payments and hating it, which I rarely drive now, but stuck with it and stupid payment...car looks good though..from a distance...just like a porn star..looks hot from three feet away, but up close has lots of make up and is a royal bitch, temper mental, and high maintenance...If It Fly's, Fuck's or Floats...It's cheaper to RENT !!!

Unlucky :(

Sorry for the bad luck at Acura 101 West -- That place does suck a mean chubbie ...should have gone down the street to Bob Smith and had it checked out...20-20 hindsight. Hopefully the X will treat you better down the road.

Picked this up a couple of months ago, has 56,000km and is as new....

Is a 4.4 and seems to have most things except heated seats.

What is a car wash?

This is after 3 days of tearing around town going to fire calls. I may try and go out for some better pictures but there is quite a lot of mud, salt and leaves on the vehicle. At least everything still works on the car. I really wish I had a Wrangler in this this case...

The e53 is the most beautiful . Lol cant stop doing this with my friends .

Here's my X5 with 9.5 & 10.5 x 22 Hartge Classic

nice.what happened to your rear windshield wiper buddy?

I removed it due to the fact that I never really used it anyways. I found a company that makes glas plugs special made for BMW. It has the exact diameter. You glue it in from the inside. I like the way it looks. Gives it nice clean look! :)

It does look clean..I had thought about removing mine..since I never really liked having a rear wiper and never use it..I hate the idea of turning it on when the back windows usually get really dirty and I didn't want to risk scratching the heck out of the glass...So good idea..But I'll leave it for now..I like having options i guess (hense) Sport SUV etc. Your X5 looks nice..it's nice to see so many taken care of, unlike the guy that bought my old wheels and tires..he just tossed them and crammed all four in his X5 and not worring that the tires were all over the leather seats and he had to push and just about kick a wheel and tires to fit through the rear door...I couldn't believe it...anyway, nice ride you have..I went from 9" all way around to 9.5 and 10.5 x 20 Much nicer looking

In Hawaii...i love this pic for one reason i have not washed my car in 2 weeks and it was really dirty but on the pic still looks good. love the beah

newbie X5 owner..
 

I wanna show my car but somehow i can't get the images to work, i keep getting these flippin' X's on my pics! Is it because i haven't posted that much on the site?

Once you upload your image to say, Photobucket use the [IMG] code. Copy paste, and you are done.

Cool, on the way...

Okey, so here is my '05 Imolared X5 4.8 IS
Didn't really wash it that good before the pics, but i think it looks decent! :)
Enjoy!

Amazing. I hate you. ;)

Haha, don't be hatin' :)
But seriously, it is a very nice car. Minor touchups needed for it to be close to perfect condition. Also, it has traveled almost 10,5k miles (not sure if i converted it correctly, approx. 170000 Km).

Also, i do miss the navigation system, but hey, that's what you get when you buy a used car.

My X5, pug, and I http://www.xoutpost.com/images/smilies/thumbup.gif

Greetings from Greece !!:D

just get a dynavin. all the fun of a nav system without the pain of slicing wires AND you get to keep the OEM look:thumbup:

I'm surprised to see that without Nav. Looks amazing though, very jealous of the titanium trim inside! yummy!
Love the aftermarket BMW logo too.... i've been gazing at those on ebay since I got mine

Anyone in the NC/SC area looking for a set of Like New wheels and tires?
We just sold our X5 and now our wheels need a new home too.

Let me now if you are interested. They are great and look new, no scratches, chips, nicks and the tires have less the 2k on them.

This is exactly how mine will look when finished. Beautiful example.

That is awesome looking. I know you hated selling that. Was it repainted? It looks like NEW! Great wheels too, but I'm stuck on style 87's. I'm in NC as well. ARRRGH.

No it was never repainted. Im just OCD and detail our cars a lot. Yeah it was a sad say to see her go.
