Just bought my 2004 3.0d on 92k, lowest mileage car I've owned for years, traded my Volvo for it that had done 177k and ran perfectly...its not miles that kill them in my opinion it's the lack off maintenance and thinking it's not worth spending money on as it's old and done a lot off miles..

[quote="Horizon"] Hi and welcome to the forum. I've got anE83 3.0d X3 at the moment which I use for towing our caravan. I've had an E53 Facelift E53 a few years ago which I never towed with.

As above bought a 2004 X5 diesel yesterday morning, loving it so far and was bought to be a tow bus for the caravan so towbar is first on list if anybody has a detachable  for sale would be much Appreciated?

No doubt questions will start soon....reminds me off my old E39 inside tbh,
