Picked up a 2012 X5M recently...
Hello. Newbie here. I drove a Dinan 328iS back in the day. Loved it. I needed an SUV/SAV to haul music gear around, and I orginally planned on building an 80s Dodge Ramcharger with a modern Hemi powerplant swap. When the build sheet started hovering around $25k, I decided to start browsing the e70 X5M market.
After encountering several shady sellers and a shady dealership or two, I finally found one. I ordered Lemon Squad inspections on almosy every black X5M I could find for sale that met my initial requirements. This is the one I chose, it was delievered to me on Saturday: |

Very nice! congrats!
Unless its been done recently.. the first thing I would do is replace all coils (and spark plugs if they havent been done) many engine issues are caused by bad coils so it'll give you a fresh start. |

Other than that, I am going to bring it to a BMW specialist close to me. I am going to have them give the entire vehicle an inspection while also taking care of the 90k mile scheduled maintenance. After that has been completed, I will need tires. Then I will consider driving it! |

Speaking of runflats, I know the P-Zeros suck, but has anyone had luck with Dunlops? |

I had Dunlops (they came with the car when I bought it). I just put Conti DWS on, and it rides soooo much better.
