Yes. If you want, you can look up mine - 0C12126. I have every option except rear entertainment.
Its the ventilated seats that cools the seat and back. Comes in handy in warm weather. Theres a thread about its usefulness: http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=636993 |

Very cool, thank you, I appreciate the reference point to compare.
Currently I'm looking at a 2-owner 54k mile 2011, last 7 of LK26626, that had the injectors replaced 6k miles ago and has brand new tires. Feels like I should be in decent shape there, and I'm also looking to see how much we're looking at to make it CPO. Think I'm making a mistake or is this going to be a viable truck for the long haul? Thanks! |

I haven't had mine that long so I can't comment on its longevity. See how much they want for CPO before you decide.
I assume it will have summer wheels on it so another thing to keep in mind is if you live in an area that gets snow or even cold weather (below 40F), you should get winter wheels (notice I didn't call them snow tires). You should consider to either 1) keep separate set of winter wheels and summer wheels - swapping them out twice a year - usually in the fall and then spring. 2) get all season tires and not worry about swapping them twice a year. But, it depends on the where you live / drive the most. |

Yup, totally hip to winter tires - I'm in Colorado and having driven 3 RWD cars (-V wagon, E55 AMG, and then before that my manual G8 GXP) during the winter, this has taught me a lot of respect for Blizzaks and Dunlop Winter Sports. My wife hit a curb on ice while on all-seasons in her Cayenne and that was an expensive lesson.
Speaking of a second set of wheels, what's the smallest diameter wheels we can go with for winter rubber? I assume it's also fine to go with a square as opposed to staggered setup either for the winter set? |

For winter, I believe style 298M wheels are the only OEM that will bolt right on without the need of any adapter. You can get others, but will need an adapter for the rears.
OEM winter setup is 298 wheels with 255/50 R19 (square) Some folks have staggered for winter too. recent discussion on hub sizes http://www.xbimmers.com/forums/showt...1119181&page=1 |

Why....how did you not sell it? I have had all the issues with my car Injectors, starter, vent crank case lines, but other than that I am rolling with out warranty and a tune, there are a lot of the S63 engine with 100k++ miles. I am not worried, I put aside 300 dollars a month for car maintenance and repair. I knew what I was getting into. I could get a warranty from USAA for 3 years 30k miles for 2k but don't think it will be worth it

193 days is way out of line.
You guys have definitely cautioned me into also picking up a warranty. If I'm looking at X5Ms not retailed through BMW, which company would be best to go through for an aftermarket warranty as opposed to CPO? |

There have been many discussions on which warranty to go with. I suggest you use the search feature and make your determination based upon what you read.

Looks like very little consensus or feedback from those that actually purchased, just very high quotes. USAA does seem to be popular. My stepdad was in the Air Force, need to see if I can join USAA.

Thanks thus far for all the feedback, guys. I will be flying up to Seattle either Sunday or next week to pick up a '11 X5M with 54k miles on it at a good price. Looking at aftermarket warranties now, if anyone has success or horror stories there, I would like to hear them.

Can't believe we are getting snow! I'm in Parker, are you in the Denver area? It's amazing how much more expensive 21" rubber is... Glad I'm getting a car with 20" already on it. $1k for all 4 corners somehow sounds almost reasonable.
