Looking
 

Hello Everyone,
Looking to buy a new X5 :D and new to this forums. I have read that a lot of the members work/own dealerships so just wanted you valuable input on the following car. Reading through some posts I feel this car is way over-priced but I might be wrong.

Also it seems to have the the low-tech cluster which I thought was phased out in 2004.

2005 BMW X5 3.0i - Black

Thanks

price??

The link has it as 27883 but i think they bought the price down to 25555.

Not sure that we own dealerships...although the knowlwdge base around here would lead one to believe such :thumbup:. If you can afford a little more cash out of pocket, get a 4.4i. The additional power is worth it. As for the cluster, it didn't change until the E70.......Phil

:xoutpost:........ops, that should say "Our new digs........ Xoutpost"

Thanks for your reply. I was going in for a 4.4 but have heard from many (including the delearship) that the 8 engines are not as bulletproof as the 6's.

Oh and regarding the cluster, I know the whole cluster didn't change but the E53 have a high tech cluster which can be seen in many of the member's picture. What I am referring to is the display with the time, range, etc. is the short one and not the wide one.

The 3.0i is sluggish unless you get a manual from what I've heard. And it can't be as much fun to drive.....Phil

Even at this price, its still high. If you really like it, i'm pretty sure they'll let go for 22-23k which is fair.

I was thinking that price was high also...

Wilkommen,

It seems to me that the 4.4 and 4.8 are solid.

The 4.6 was solid too, but there were a few issues and they revamped it for the 4.8

The 6 is one of the legendary motors. Chevy 350, Fords v6 etc...
