The Best Value SUV Used. Nothing Better!
 I have had two 01 BMW x5 4,4's and I never had  any real issues with them. The first X5 was bought used at 49k and I had the lower control arms changed under warranty. I had it until 79k and nothing else but oil changes were done.  I sold it and bought the same model with 69k and every single option as the other was just a 4.4 with no extra options. I had to change the AC Climate control module. I did the repair in 15 minutes. At 78k just did front brakes and coolant flush.  I do not baby my vehicles and both x5's have held up very well in NYC.  If you want an SUV that handles and drives great, this is it!
