      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.

      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.

    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.

    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 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.

    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 am envious of his tool selection. Recommend that he set up a Amazon link so he can take advantage of my purchases.

    That sound with the cooling system I bet is just a worn out expansion tank cap seal and these are easy and cheap to replace, since the expansion tank doesn't have a split down the right side I'd say thats been replaced before and its possibly still got life left in it, but if working on the cooling system its best to replace it.

    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

    Nice vehicle if cash is no object. It is good to see you try to fix it up. Welldone.

    It's a good thing these older BMWs are easy to work on, because you will be doing that a lot.

    When these first came out in 2000 they were a revelation. Luxury SUV's were still a new thing, Mercedes had the absolute crap 1st gen ML, the G-wagon wasn't sold in the USA yet, Lexus had a legit winner on their hands with the RX300, but it drove like a Camry(for better or worse). Then you had the big lumbering trucks like the Land Cruiser/Lexus LX470, Navigator, Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon, Acura was selling rebadged Izuzus. Nobody had thought to build an SUV that drove like a sports sedan.

    I see some people are referencing the engine sound on startup, many are saying it’s the timing chain rattling, but are we sure it’s not the lifters? Seems like the sound goes away with oil pressure. Thoughts?

    • @Gabe-ABNCW3
      @Gabe-ABNCW3 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It’s totally the lifters. Just needed some oil circulation, as the car has been parked for a day or two.

    • @WatchJRGo
