Help on x5 purchase
Hi all,
Been a very long time since I have posted on here, and then it was in the 335 and 650 forums.... Anyway, right now I daily drive a H1, was trolling craigslist and saw a 01' X5 4.4 for 4K. Pics look like it is is good shape. I was thinking of scope this up just to have a smaller alternative from time to time from the H1. I have been trying to read up on common problems with the x5s, but all I have found is very minor stuff: no AM radio, steering wheel squeaks, bumper sticks out unevenly, noises brakes, etc... I am wonder more in the major mechanical side if there is any thing I should look for. I am handy with a wrench and pretty comfortable working on BMWs. But I don't want to buy in to a money pit that could have been avoided....the H1 is a money pit to last several lifetimes. Thanks in advance.

01's are first generation X5s, this forum pertains to 2nd gen X5s... try this forum:
http://www.bimmerfest.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=22 nevertheless you're looking at a very old car probably worth no more than $10k (just a guess). Buyer beware, there's nothing more expensive than a cheap german car.
