We currently have 122k on our 2008 X5 3.0 which we bought about a year and a half ago with about 98k on it. So far the biggest inconvenience have been the trips to the nearest dealer 2 hours away to deal with the recalls. As far as repairs go, the biggest one we've had to deal with has been the rear air bags. Luckily, after a few YouTube vids and some additional research on the internet, I was able to replace those myself for only 300+/- in parts. I do the routine maintenance (oil, filters, brake fluid replacement, etc.) whenever I can. I'm hoping any real major repairs hold out until at least she's paid off about 2 1/2 years from now..... knock on wood! I say that knowing that just today we got the 'level control system malfunction' warning. Keeping fingers crossed that it's just a sensor!!
