Thanks for your response. Makes me feel a little better. The mileage is a tad on the high side but given the fact it's a diesel I'm ok with that. My DD is an E46 with 168k on it and I've practically rebuilt the whole car aside from the engine and it runs like a champ. My E60 M5 had 99k before I sold it. My point is that maintenance is no problem for me to handle so higher mileage isn't too scary for me. And yes my budget is my limitation to low mileage vehicles. After looking at X5s with 20-30k for $35-40k I'm still convinced id never buy a new BMW even if I had the cash to do so.

Case in point is my in-law's 2005 Honda Odyssey. It has 60k miles on it, but it was purely used as a city car in SF and it is beaten like a red headed step child of a ranging alcoholic step dad. Geez, that thing rattles, never has proper tire inflation, scraped wheels, a ton of dents and scrapes and a leak in the windshield seal.

My X5D budget is also $30k. The 2011 and 2012s I am finding are just not a good value. No warranty and lots of miles. The 2010 and 2009 are much closer to $20k, have the same lack of warranty and similar miles. 2009s have the added benefit of all Sports having AD (but with older iDrive ). I plan to spend closer to $20k and bank the rest for parts. I generally fix my own car so self insuring is possible for me.

Well I threw the guy a counter offer so we'll see if I'm going to be a new X5 owner soon. Appreciate the feedback everyone has provided. Hoping to have an answer today.

Well it's done. Locked in a deal with the seller for $27,750. Seeing that the truck needs to be transported I figure it'll probably arrive in about two weeks. Pretty excited about the purchase considering how rare it is to find one with this many options. The only thing I wish it had was LED coronas (early build) so I'll have to find a solution to that.
Looking forward to delivery so I can give it a really good cleaning. I'll also put together a build thread of my progress. You can see how meticulous I am about my cars by viewing my E46 thread here: http://forum.e46fanatics.com/showthr...409&highlight= Anyways thanks again for your guys' feedback & comments. Pics to come soon. |

I recognize your car/thread from E46F - your level of detail in cleaning your vehicle is incredible I've been a member there since '04 but don't really visit much anymore (still own a '05 330i ZHP). |

Just for the record, E70 35d never got sport suspension. Just sport activity package for appearance, but without the better damping and anti-roll of the true sport pack. AD was a rare option on any E70, and seemingly much less so on the D.

Well only that on pre-lci x5 diesels the sport package bundled in AD which really did improve the handling.

Well, in Europe the AD was an option you could tick of for all X5 - also the 30/40D. I got it on my 30D (similar to the U.S. 35D) MSport
