Help guys
 
I want to purchase a x5 4.8is 04 or 05. I can find only with average 60000-75000miles without warranty. What do you guys think? It worth it?:D

No.. because when they start breaking - you will need a BAILOUT like GM.


try to find one with a warranty - if you cant find 1 you can always can buy a warranty.


look at past thread and you will the issue people come across- quite a bit of issues

depends... if you would have to sell a child for new tires (800-1100$ a set) -then no. bmw wont give you a warranty after 60-70k miles but if you have one before 50 and you update it with them you would be okay. 3rd party warranty is an option too. like the guy above said , there are
a bunch of posts to look over about your question.

if you pick one up thats been beat to hell or say a red salavge:bustingup you will have problems. a well maintained X should work out good for you.
there are guys on this site with a million miles on their cars with not that many problems at all.. do your homework and avoid the molested x5s with fresh wax...

oh by the way , the 4.6is is cooler dont listen to the 4.8is guys ! find a 4.6is and the ladies will like you. it's a guaranteed fact of science.
when they see the 4.8is they say "but the rims arent as cool" and "the front is messed up" :rofl: (honestly 98.9% will have no clue )

gl with finding one.... the 4.8is\4.6is are near perfect cars in my book :thumbup:

Get a third party warranty and enjoy the car. I got the best warranty I could - almost $3,000 for 3 years, but I am quite confident I will see the return. I purchased my car with almost 72,000 on the clock and really enjoy driving it.

if you can repair stuff by yourself instead of bringing it to the dealer than go for it...
