Hello all. I'm Don from South Central Pennsylvania. I owned a 733I for a couple years and never had a problem with it. I recently purchased a well used X5 and it has been keeping me busy getting the kinks out. This Web Site has bailed me out and saved me a lot of money allowing me to DIY. I have twelve other vehicles ranging from a 66 Pontiac Bonneville convertible to a 92 Dodge Stealth RT TT. I normally don’t spend any time posting on any site and usually just get the info I need and get back to the task at hand. I am glad that so many people have come together to share info and assist their sometimes frustrated fellow Bimmer owners. I hope that I can share some documented repairs in the future and possibly help another. Gotta go fix my A/C issue now. Chow!

Hi everyone, just signed up. I just got a 2004 X5 4.4i a month ago and my friend suggested I join the forum. I got a quick question though, on saturday I went out of town with my X5 but on the way the front right hand side CV gave in. As there were no shops that specializes on bimmers at that town I had to drive 200 kms back to the city. Do you guys think it would still be safe to drive my X5 one more day, just to bring it to a shop? I hope I get a reply before I head out tomorrow. Thanks in advance.

Previously owned the worst E38 imaginable; everything that can go wrong did just after purchase (steering hoses, brakes, A/C quit, drivers seat backrest broke and wouldn't adjust, shifter wood broke off in my hand, etc...). Looking at an X1 28i.
Rick here form Northern Cali. Just picked up '08 3.0si. Got a good deal with extended warranty. I also have '87 E24 635csi that I have owned since '98. This is my first timeon bimmer forums.
Camille. This reply is likely too late, but my experience with CV boots and joints is that after 80kms the axle grease is gone and you have likely damaged the axle; therefore, you will need to replace the entire axle and not just the boot. Not a good idea to ever drive with a broken cv boot or joint. Hope you got it fixed ASAP.

I posted my intro in the F30 thread but now I want to show off the newest member of the family. The wife was at delivery all alone since I was out on an assignment at the time.

We just picked up the fiance an 03 X5 4.4. So far it has about 500 miles on it since we picked it up(proceeded to do a small road trip for the weekend). It seems to be doing great so far. We really like it. No mods yet.

Greetings from Kitchener, Ontario, Canada... proud new owner of a 2012 X1 in the limited red colour. Not sure why the colour is no longer being offered, although I do like the Orange!
I was quite surprised the minute I drove this vehicle. I have owned a Z3, 525, Porsche 944, and Saab 900 SPG in the past. I was NOT expecting the performance that was felt out of this little 2.0L motor. At first glance I saw a BMW version of the Matrix or Mazda wagon. Once I accelerated out of the dealerships parking lot, I knew that I was in a whole different league!
Hey Guys, I'm Don from Tennessee and I own a 2005 X3 with M aero kit all around and debadged.
My other rides are BMW 2000 323i and 528i

Hello everyone,
Name is Chris from Dallas tx. My ride is a 05' X5 3.0i.
I have owned it for about a year and have done several mods and repairs.
Most of the info I used in doing so came from this forum.
Thank you to everyone that has shared their knowledge and experience here.
Mike from NYC. Just picked up a 2012 X5 M in Carbon black last weekend. Already did a few cosmetic things and K&Ns, much more planned for the near future. Looking for around 675hp to match my old CTS-V.
I normally avoid forums like the plague, but since I had to join to get instructions, I figured I may as well intro myself.
