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.

This is an E70 forum, so not sure if many know much about the '01 X5s mate...

01's are first generation X5s, this forum pertains to 2nd gen X5s... try this forum:

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.
