I sold my 3.0D cheap, in October 2022 just before the MOT was due, as it didn't feel right when i was driving it. Turns out it needed a fair bit of money spending on it. Just seen it up for sale so going to look at it, at the weekend... all the issues have been fixed and it's £100 more than I sold it for.

It’s hard to beat an E53. Price, looks, practicality and - these days, rarity. I’m in the uk with a 4.6 and it stands out from the crowd. At the moment I’m driving several hundred miles across the uk each week to se my dad and on the journeys I may see 1 or 2 other E53’s. I agree also that prices will go up.

I have been a BMW bigot since 1980 when I bought new the 320 IS. drove it til 1998 only replaced a clutch under the warranty. regular oil changes and tune ups to 265,000 miles. Guys would stop me to talk about the car. My wife thought it should be a convertible and backed under a tractor trailer which was its demise. still running well. I added in a 1988 735i which was an animal, drove for over 200,000 miles until my son wrapped it around a bend in the road. Added in a 2001 X5 4.0 that snapped your head back. my son wrapped it around a tree in 2008 with 175,000 miles on it and he walked away without a scratch. added in the twins 2006 X5s 3.0 currently 195,000 and 264,000 and still going. I have driven over one million miles in BMWs, Great cars. They covered NYC, Long Island beaches and Vermont ski slopes. Can't say enough praises for BMWs until 2006. I am slowing down at 73.

if you are going to use this car 3-5 years or more, your variant is to restore by professionals who know this transmission very well. Otherwise I would recommend to find a donor somewhere in junkyard or after crash and just replace it. In thin case the best variant would be to find it on car that works and test it before using scanner like Reingold and by test drive. I have a problems with 6hp26 ZF with E package but the gear works fine more or less, I would drive it until it die and just will replace it from used car it's the cheapest way I think but you need to check it carefully by specialist who know it pretty good.

The BMW X5 is a terrible car. I bought 2 of them, A 2003 & 2006 as new. I've had nothing but problems with them over the years. Both broke down within 6 months of purchase as new. The electronic parts burn out all the time, window regulators are terrible, cheap and break down, the trunk button wears down, I've replaced the rear lights 4 times, etc. The engine repair and parts cost too much. They charged me $800 to fix a fault in the rear light bulb. The BMW dealerships are way too expensive. If you are not mechanically inclined, prepared to spend a lot of money on this car. I will never buy a BMW again.
