X5 from Ukraine
 

RWD.

M engine ??????

facelifted headlights, prefacelifted electric fan in front of radiator, non X5 motor (obviuosly), prefacelift cooling expansion tank, silver rings on cluster, manual transmission (?)... RWD??

is it a modified 4.6iS? what are the details??

It was a 4.6is once. The whole drive train was taken from M5, so it's manual and RWD.

The car looks weird, but tastes differ.

The owner reports the car drives great, but I'm not very confident it drives at all, because the owner used the M62 oil pan on S62 which is very risky because of very different lubrication system. I personally would never start the S62 with M62 oil pump and I also have no idea how he coupled the Double-VANOS lubrication with M62s oil supply.

I would suspect a front end damage to the car - facelifted front requires new front fenders and the hood, the bumper is not a big deal as it can be replaced in normal course of ownership... the front end damage theory goes well with replacement of the M62B46 engine, which is a potent engine to begin with and removal of the front wheel drive portion of the X...

Unless the owner is able to provide pictures of the changeover which clearly show intact 4.6iS converted into the X5"M5" where the car is not damaged, my theory would stand at 85%(or 90%) validity...

Hey NickP, where did he get that front bumper cover with the lower lip, I like it.

looks to have a few missing pieces...

Should be the AC Schnitzer E53 bumper...

Hey are you on VK.com? more pictures of X5?

Sorry, no more pictures and not a VK member either.
