New X5 3.0i owner
 

Hey guys, just bought a 2005 X5 3.0i with 64k miles on it. I have been a long time e46 owner (00 323ci and now an 04 330ci) and always wanted to get an X5. I would've prefered a 4.4i or 4.8i but seeing as how we bought this primarily to be my mother's car I wanted to get her something more reliable and since I know the M54 inside and out, this was the more practical choice. Also, we got a great deal on this truck. I've been lurking for the past month, tons of cool stuff here!

We bought it on 2/28 and within 2 weeks the front passenger door carrier broke LOL but that was no biggie to replace. Anyways, here are some shots of it:

Shameless plug of my freshly clayed/waxed Mystic blue 330

I spy, with my little eye, a Jag.

Yup! 91 XJ Sovereign with only 56k original miles. That thing is a smooth as silk.

Thanks everyone! Look forward to being a member!

I'm kind of a newb when it comes to detailing but I have been using Collinite 845. It is soo easy to apply and works really well from what I've experienced

good luck with her, I like the wheels[BTW check your tire pressure on the right rear] try to use Castrol oil.

I imagine that since you have an e46 with the same engine you are very familiar with many of the weak points of the car. That is one of the reasons I picked a 3.0. I have en e46 330xi as well.

You have an xdrive transfer case so you get buy the pricey BMW magic fluid when it comes time to change that.
