At one point I was thinking of selling it, but I think I liked it too much to sell, and having so few miles in ODO it will run long time.
And yes, with quite small amount of investment the sound system is easy to get better, usually you get better speakers a lot cheaper after market than as factory option, the sub would be nice to add though.

I'm shipping my car to Finland as I'm moving there, leaving the sunny California, think about that :) any way, the X is still appx. 60k€ car over there, so selling it here for $35k doesn't make sense.

Here's some pics from other thread

Actually, i think it's even more than 60k Euro's, i think it's closer to 75k Euro's, but it's not an easy seller imo, up here, Diesel X's outsell the other engines 10-1.
But great looking X, hope your enjoy the "country of the thousand lakes"
:popcorn:

I bought my 2002 X5 4.4, in the UK,for the equivalent of about €35k about 6months ago and there was pretty much no difference in price between it and the diesel equivalent, presumably due to high fuel costs.

That's still better than $35k but I think the price gap would be a lot smaller but I can't really say for Finland specifically.

Yes, I know it's not an easy seller. But then again, selling it in US for $35K and loosing 35% for currency rate after transferring the money. So which one would you rather drive, 25k€ 540i -97/98 with over 100k miles in ODO or 60k€ 4.6is with 40k in ODO ;)

Because Finland has the car taxes the prices are one of the highest in Europe, Denmark or Norway wins.

Great colour combo!
:thumbup:
And i think it's going to be hard to sell that baby of yours. (for your sake)
Hard to top a great car like that you know.
I would've chosen the X anyday over a 540i imo.

that thump sound when you close the door is the sound of QUALITY, not these pissy light cheep doors lol
