3.0 5 speed 80k miles.

Replaced:
Crankcase vent system
Valve cover gasket
Water pump
Tstat
Power steering hose
FSR
Changed all the fluids

I am totally 'off the grid.' I have no warranty and no records from the previous owner. I do everything myself, and have saved a good deal of cash that way. Honestly, it has been pretty good, all things considered.

ADDED: New Tranny

I'm a few miles short of 100K and so far I've replaced;
water pump
front end bushings
power steering hose
valve cover gaskets
CV boots
final stage resistor
Otherwise, been a great ride. I've changed all of the fluids, brakes, and spark plugs myself. I burn less than 1 quart between oil changes. Good luck

Update from my post 2 years ago.... I am now at 145k
CV boots
Entire front end (shaking like a bandit) ebay $349....

This car was built well.............

If I may, I don't know if its just my X, but I've done a lot more work under warranty thank God, but its been the following that have been replaced.

Battery
all belts and hoses
thermo stat w/water pump
rear main seal
the infamous crankcase breather went bad, 30 below that night
valve cover gaskets
alternator
expansion tank
final stage
front right headlight, would get foggy when I washed it
everything for the front suspension, which I just did the final one with the CV boot replacment
spark plugs
Gas cap
instrument cluster
2 window regulators
Windshield washer pump for the headlights
some other leaky gaskets that where replace, something about bank 1 needed new gasket???
power steering hose
tail light socket, which I have done something of my own design to fix my tail light issue. ;)
Valley pan
and some other little stuff, but you all get the point. Thats why I'm keepen her for ever!!! Or untill the wheels fall off, lol!!!

So, it's safe to say that if I didn't have a warranty, I'd be royaly screwed!!!
Some of the above things were from me being very anal about my car. I used to smell oil burning when I shut the engine off. It was from the stupid gaskets that were leaking slowing. They would never have done that service if I didn't bitch about it. Other then this stuff which seems like a lot , but I did most of this serivce with 3 shots. so not that big of a deal. I have 99,456 miles right now, warranty ends at 100,748 miles. So hoping my tranny doesn't die anytime soon, and will last me at least another 50k before going dead. Love this car and it looks soooo good when its clean.

Thats quite the list and you seem to have hit most if not all of the typical X5 problem areas and a few few extra maintenance items thrown in to boot - glad you got it covered under warranty.

2001 4.4 ltr 134K miles.
Other than wear items (tires, brakes, plugs. . . )
1 window regulator.
front half shafts (CV boots ripped & I replaced both safts)
Ignition switch.
It drives as tight as my 2006 4.4 ltr with 27K on her.

Mind if I ask what extended warranty you have) Also year, type and mileage of your X?
Also, if someone from OKC happens to read this thread, would you please tell me where you go other than Cooper for post-warranty repairs? I see a shop listed in the phone book (Bavarian Autohaus) but know nothing about them.
Thanks.

my mileage
 

I have 187,000 miles on my X5 3.0L
All suspension parts replaced
4 window reg
2 AC resister fuse
transfer case - gang get a reman for under 1K, BMW wants 2200K plus
the labor is $500
valve cover gasket
3 sets spark plugs
just put 4th set of Michelin MVX4 $1,046
headlight restoration
battery
water pump and belts
visor broke, did not fix, ditto rear cup holder
there's more, you get the pix.

If it runs another 50K I'll feel allright about repairs.

All of the above was out of my pocket, est $15,000+

I'm getting a Tundra truck this month, you would never
see this level of repair out of a Toyota product. I've had
tons of Lexus, Nissan, Toyota - don't know what a repair
bill looks like, all went 100K miles.

I've had 3 BMW's - all broke down except for motor.

BMW sells their product to first buyer who then trades in
3 years. They just make $$ on the subsequent owners.
Not a bad biz model I might add. I just won't give them
another 50K................

I would rather have the rest of the car fall apart than have the engine seize and leave me a my family stranded 400 miles from home and 400 miles from where we were going. That happened in me 2 year old Toyota Tacoma 4dr 4wd in Virginia. We stopped to get gas when I went to start it, it let out a chirp like a scalded monkey and died. The thrust bearing spun. Luckily it was 3200 miles short of the warrentee running out. Customer service was very good to us and got us on our way the next day. It did; however, take pulling the engine again and the transmission and transfer case twice to stop the oil leak after the engine change. And then there was my 1978 Land Cruiser. That spun the #6 main bearing. . .

In my book, you can have your Jap cars and trucks. I'll stick with fixing the little BS things that might go wrong with my BMWs and VWs. At least I know I'll be able to get home to change my window regulators.
