Hi Everybody,
This is Hank from Mechanicsburg PA (recently burnt badly by the Sun BMW Mechanicsburg stealership)
They near about destroyed my beautiful and flawless Alpine White 2003 X5 3.0 out of pure malice, just coz I turned down an offer to be highway-robbed.
I will now look to these forums as my one and only support group... while I try to undo the damage done to my poor baby.
Looking Fwd to wise counsel and brotherly help from all you fellow BMW-enthusiasts.
BTW my beater car is a 1995 318i with a whopping 161k miles on it !!! Its Such a warhorse !! :-)
Thanks in advance !

I wanted to introduce myself here; I have enjoyed my X5 4.6is for quite some time now. It is black on black w/factory nav and has the rare and $$$ underride protection bar underneath the front spoiler. For being nearly 10 years old and logging over 127k miles, it is as close to perfect as it can get. All stock BMW, with a few electronic upgrades... I love it!!!
I added a JL stealthbox, 2 alpine digital PDX amplifiers, a JL cleansweep (so I could keep my factory headunit/nav screen) and a mediabridge with bluetooth so I can have handsfree calling and can stream music from my smartphone... works great!

Hey guys, im not new to bimmers but just brought a 2006 x3 m package into the family. Got it for a steal and im sure I'll be around these parts more often.
Hello folks.. Checking in to say hello. New member here, just built/ordered a 2012 X3 M Sport for the wife and our baby on the way...
Looking forward to getting to know everyone.
I just replaced my Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited with the 5.7 Hemi (LOVED IT) with a 2004 X5 4.8is . It's a couple of clicks faster, but definitely a luxury upgrade. I have found a couple of things I'm not sure if I care for, but overall, I like it. Plus I was starting to have some mechanical issues with my Jeep so I decided to sneak it into the dealership before anything went terribly wrong....

Hi!
Thought I'd intro myself.
My name is Carol.
I live in Michigan.
I have an 05 X3, bought used 4 years ago. Love it! My first BMW and don't think I'll own another brand ever again.
This is the first time I've ever been apart of any type or forum looking forward to meeting people and getting help with my car issues!
2008 X5 4.8is
Hi all, first time E53 owner but have had 20+ bimmers over the years and have five at present.
Just did the timing chain job and have some extra parts due to trying to get stuff here on time. If anyone is about to do this job lmk what you may need.
Also, I rented timing tools from bimmertoolrental.com which made it super easy and cost effective.
Aloha,

I have been 'lurking' for some time, since before we aquired our '02 X5 3.0i last November. We just sold our first BMW, a '99 540i, this past Saturday, which we had for almost two years. I hated to part with the 540, but the DW needed a better (for her) winter car, and it wasn't practical to keep three vehicles. I work for a local BMW dealership, as a parts delivery driver (part time, I am a retired postal worker). I got through them, what I thought at the time, was a good deal on this X5. It has thrown me a few surprises, but I am working my way through them, and am mostly happy with it. The wife seems to be OK with it, so unless things go 'south', we plan to keep it a while.
I have been a mechanic for over 40 years, both privately and professionally, and like to do most of my own maintenance. I use this forum as one of my information sources, and visit almost every day. And, if I think I can help, I will put my $.02s worth in.
Let the adventure begin.............
In Atlanta, GA. My wife drive 2001 E53 3.0, and I have 2001 E39 525i.

Ride: 2012 X5 xdrive35d Isabella Luna
Love love love my Isabella. She loves long drives with her panoramic roof open. Especially on sunny days. Had an 06 x5 4.4i, Ezzra, sad to see her go but acquired her sister shortly after! Got into a slight fender bender with a semi trailer six weeks ago, they still have her and I cannot wait to get her back. Happy to be a part of the BMW community.
Had to re-register for some reason (too much lurking? lol), so thought I'd add a quick post here. Have a 2001 X5 4.4i, bought it from a family member back on '04. Love the car, and have decided to fix a few things rather than trade up to an unknown vehicle.
Thanks for all the info and help I always find on this site!
