WANTED 4.6 or 4.8 X5

Post by M3ben » Thu May 04, 2017 2:10 am

Looking for either 4.6 or 4.8 wanting something that has been well kept and maintained with a decent service history etc etc miles ideally below 80k may consider something higher depending on condition and general care through its life (servicing/replacement gearbox/timing chain) I have cash waiting for the right one and willing to travel

Thanks ben

Hi and welcome

I think there was at least a nice 4.6 in the buy and sell section recently,

Also have a read of the E53 buyers guide it's very useful to help decide which one.

Good luck with the search - remember low mileage is not necessarily good. These cars are 12+ years old now, so mileage under 80k means a very low yearly mileage which is not always a good thing.  My 4.8 is also over the 130k mark now, reasonable mileage for its age.  They are also becoming finicky electromics wise, again down to age, so have a repair plan / deep pockets in place. New warranties on such old cars are not likely to provide very comprehensive cover unless outlandishly priced.

Good luck with your search.
