Purchasing my first X5

[Alaskan318TI]

Hello

My very first purchase of a X5 and i have a lot of questions to ask. I currently own my second 318TI and love it to death, I love BMW in general and I promised my wife a X5. So what are somethings to look for when i go to look at this X5 tomorrow. I know of the transmission and a leaking sunroof but what else should i be looking for. thanks in advance for your advice

I hope it does not have an air suspension, then you will end up with endless problems.

The e70 air suspension is fine, e53 can have a few problems but that's due to age of the vehicle.

I have had four e70 x5's with level ride suspension and the only problem I have had is with the early adoption for the adaptive drive from the front hydraulic/electronic swaybar, early models used to get a clunk in the frontend due excesive play in the swaybar which was later fixed with a revised swaybar.
