Holy crap! As a power rear seat aficionado, I’m almost ashamed to admit I had no idea the first gen X5 had power reclining rear seats until I saw this video. That is awesome.
Sold my father's with 300k for 1500 like 6 years ago. Clean and working as it should. Man that lifter tick on a cold start brings me back working on it. Great cars.
Yep. I pity the fool who pays $1 for this vehicle. It will be an everlasting nightmare. It is why JR talks about how nice it drives as it does - the durability is sorely lacking. Why so many receipts. I owned a 2006 Saab 9-3 for 12 years, 191,000 miles and tracked what I did to fix it. Next to nothing. Spent a total of $350 on repairs the rest was maintenance which includes the front and valve cover rubber engine seals as those are maintenance items (if you don't count that as maintenance parts cost me another $200).
The lines in the window aren't for the radio they are heating elements to defrost the windows, the antenna is hidden in the little wing where the brake light is. How do I know this well I have this same car and I found out where the antenna was recently, the side windows do warm up as well when switched on.
@@SimonPhillipsPhoto ah, fair enough! I'm sure one of my old colleagues said it was the aerial on his E46 Touring. Perhaps he was wrong or my memory is bad, could be either 😂
I always like this generation of X5. Got good strong lines and easily recognizable BMW design. I remember right before they switched to the newer model, I saw one of these at an auto show. It got the panoramic sunroof that I thought was real cool.
This makes me miss my ‘04 X5 that I had back in the early ‘10s. It was the 3.0, had a panoramic moonroof, heated seats & steering wheel and the (to my knowledge) very rare 6 speed manual transmission. I kick myself for letting that car go, miss it often.
Hey JR, that heavy pedal feel you mentioned is the adaptive transmission. You can reset it by following these steps: 1 ) hit start button once to turn on power (Don't start the engine) 2) then press the accelerator down to the floor for 5 sec. 3) then hit start button once to turn off power. 4) then remove foot from accelerator. 5) then waite for 2 minutes.
Dang, a RAV 4? My sister drives a 2004 Rav 4 which is now well over 120k miles and she's rarely had a problems, and most of those were things her son was able to fix. Only visit to a shop was to replace a starter and that was something like 3 years ago.
We got a 07' RAV4 for my work, (back in 2007, maybe 20 miles on odometer) they drove it tell about 270k, then the engine started consuming oil like mad, and the catalytic converts were shot. Seems on the Toyota engines of that era 07-09', the piston rings wear out from the passages getting clogged. It was a design fault, most would fail around the 100k mark if they were going to fail, so getting to 270k on a business vehicle that does minimum of 100 miles a day was not too bad. Rather unfortunate, because the rest of the vehicle was still in remarkably good shape. No rust, (NM car) transmission seemed perfectly fine, A/C still blowing cold. Just a lot of miles as a company vehicle.
@@TheKsa2009 Totally can - but clear coat gone and some rear corner damage. Engine solid - power steering not so much. BMW is less reliable but more fun to drive.
I daily a 2001 BMW 740i E38 and it has ~245,000 miles. My dad’s 2000 740i E38 has ~320,000 miles on it, and my uncle’s 2000 540i E39 has ~250,000 miles on it. Old BMWs can live forever if properly taken care of! I hope I’m able to “buy” the car!
Hey JR, try some penetrating oil/ ATF on the back wiper motor. That and a little manual loosening might be all it takes to bring the rear wiper back to life. 😊🤩
Wow that’s awesome man! I had lost my job from COVID and my vehicle got repossessed because I couldn’t keep paying on it. Me and my wife have been walking our kids to and from school since then, I’d love the chance to buy that vehicle for $1, hopefully whoever gets it is in need of one like I am, good luck to everyone ✌🏼
@@tannerwilliams9854 i guess they went seperate ways in life, and i think he's tired of people asking about it cause i never see him answer anything about it
I order a 2004 X5 in Sterling Gray, fully optioned and I still drive it daily. It only has 85k miles but drives exactly the way it did when it was new. No major issues. A few minor oil leaks which were easy fixes. FYI, they don’t have auto high beams but do have auto headlights. Also, the grids in the left rear quarter glass is not defrost, that is the antenna.
The 6 disc changer is in the rear driver side under a panel. I had a few of these, great cars as long as keep up with the maintenance and suspension with OEM parts.
I know that feeling jrgo! I have a m54 engine like this one they do last forever! Funny thing is mine popped code for the thermal oil level sensor today lmao
I absolutely love those SUVs. I have a friend that had the 4.8i and it was great. Every BMW has coolant issues in those years. Everything is plastic so they like to explode out of nowhere, but parts are decently priced.
Love them! I had a 3 litre diesel (That engine was super reliable, probably the most reliable part of the car) 2001 X5 for about 3 years and loved it. It didnt have the rear power reclining seats or the sunroof but pretty much had everything else. Sold it with 126000 miles on it and still on the original motor and trans. It had a problem I never managed to get fixed, in summer after 10 minutes drive it would beep and say STOP OIL PRESSURE! but it must have been a sensor.
I admit that I been kinda watching you since you got fired from you job. Still remember that one. At first really didn’t like your videos but I must say you are now one of my favorites and you do some really cool stuff. I always wanted a BMW but not so much anymore. Enjoyed video. Thanks
Whoever gets this is getting a hell of a deal. Not only serviced but fixed properly before getting it from a damn good mechanic. Wish I could make an offer
I would expect a BMW with that many miles to be in terrible condition but it seems like someone took it to the dealership and looked after it except the exterior as it seems it hadn't been washed in a while. I think if it has very little problems with that many miles it deserves to be saved. I also love the tailgate/trunk.
Certainly would make a good backup vehicle for me, and I just checked and found $1! Currently driving an 05 GMC Sierra with a 5.3 and 235k that’s doing ok except slight oil leak. And I drive anywhere from 250-500 miles a week for work. And I don’t always need a truck. Would probably do better having an SUV again.
A 253K mile BMW, that's impressive! And that stack of service records looks about right for a car of that mileage, assuming it was well maintained. This looks like an interesting project, you're going to have to pour some money into parts for this one, though.
I've got a friend in Ottawa that needs to get out to So Cal where I live. He was the builder of the black Jackman Bros. 32 Ford and has a truck out here he needs to drive home. He's getting up in years so road trips aren't easy for him. If you were to choose me, I could get out there, receive the X5, pick him up and get him to the West Coast. Anyway, love the show and the new shop vids. Can't wait to see the lifts go in, Hoovie will need to give you a mechanic nickname since the shop will start looking like the Weezard's.
So @WatchJRGo, were you sad that the Amberghini questions have been getting fewer and farther between in the comments section? Because you KNOW this video is gonna chum up all the same old questions all over again. You're such a troll; I love it!
It has headlight washers so it's probably got Xenon headlights. The radiator expansion tank is notorious for splitting, plus there is an additional thermostat in the same region. I sold heaps as a BMW dealer parts interpreter. There was also an exhaust retrofit kit, which could alter the appearance to make the car look like a V8.
Dang, I would kill for this car! I tried buying a decent X5 years ago and got stuck with buying the 4.4L which seized up a few days later. Totally bummed! Someone will be a lucky, happy person for the holidays with this!
The I6 is the only BMW engine I would even consider. Although the plastic cooling system stuff is a huge deterrent for me. Mist likely will never own a BMW or any German car for that matter. Only one that MAY happen is an Audi or VW GTI/R with a 6 SPD manual... or if I could ever find a clean VR6 VW Corrado with a manual. That's a pipe dream though, I dont even remember when i last saw one on the road up here in Ontario, Canada.
In this case no it's not. The I6 is the engine to have in this heap. I've always liked I6, most are bulletproof. My 93 grand Cherokee had 360k miles on it still ran like a top.
I would like to officially enter the BMW sweepstakes again. I am really looking forward to seeing the finished garage. It will be worth all of the time, money, and effort when it is complete. Have a good one!
Nice to see you pickup a vehicle so soon to work on in your new shop / garage. Please stop calling it a warehouse unless of course you plan on just warehousing cars.
The E53s are honest, yeah the V8s had their well documented problems, but remember this car is based on the E39 5-series, which is probably one of the best car platforms ever made. Get the 3.0 diesel or 3.0 gas version and they're solid cars!
My 2001 X5 has 180K on it, just replaced the transmission fluid, even though it says lifetime, I didn't want to risk it. Drives great, still looks great, classic lines.
@@maxpax27 I had my local independent shop do it. They replaced the fluid and filter. Bought at europarts-sd.com they had best price, you have to call them for the parts as they don't advertise them on their website.
I love the auto wash. I really enjoy taking my old Crown Vic up to Charlie's at Kellogg and West when I have the time. They've a really good undercarriage wash also.
Giving someone an older BMW for Christmas is probably worse than getting a fruit cake. Also my 92 S class has pretty much all those features plus dual pane windows and the self closing doors and trunk

Driving my 4th X5. Absolutely most awesome suv. They drive amazing. Current is a 2013 and has just 40k miles. Will sell it cheap to someone next year when I get a 2022 X6 hybrid
*Oh man i love X5's they are the ONLYBMW's i really like. i do love the V8 also though. Those timing chain guides that break dont scare me off. Those things are friggin sweet*

I think the back windows are not heated, the radio antenna lines are there.
Driving my 4th X5. Absolutely most awesome suv. They drive amazing. Current is a 2013 and has just 40k miles. Will sell it cheap to someone next year when I get a 2022 X6 hybrid
“I’d buy that for a dollar!”
My band director says that pretty frequently
Running man lol classic
I wouldn't.
@@mjjr1000 it’s Robocop but I love that film too
Marx Brothers. A night in Casablanca. Excellent.
*Oh man i love X5's they are the ONLYBMW's i really like. i do love the V8 also though. Those timing chain guides that break dont scare me off. Those things are friggin sweet*
I admire your energy and knowledge. this looks like a very interesting adventure in your new garage. great job!!
Funny... I actually have a dollar sitting right here.. LOL! But I am in California.
Love it JR and Gabe! I have a shiny silver dollar for that BMW! 😁
May the odds ever be in your favor! 😁👍🏼
Just sold my 2004 X5 3.0 - loved the way it drove - had a bunch of electrical gremlins but still really liked it - just too many vehicles so let it go.
