Just purchased my low mileage 2002 3.0d BMW X5 black, with black leather and mahogany trim.... I absolutely love it!!!!
But before I get it on the road I need to do an oil/oil filter change, because the oil light is on and when I checked the oil it is below the min line has anyone got any helpful links on how to do this. I'm also going to change the air filter too, just wondering if you guys think I should change my pollen filter at the same time?
I would also like to say thank you to thedweeb for an excellent illustrated walkthrough on how to change the air filter - viewtopic.php?f=22&t=262

Thank you all.
I will upload pictures soon.

Welcome aboard. Remember we need the pictures ...

Welcome, and enjoy the X. I would suggest doing the pollen filter as well given that the oil light was on and below the min level. It doesn't give you much confidence that the previous owner was too bothered about service/maintenance etc.

Thanks pvr and don. Just did the air filter, not too bad, i checked pollen filter and it looked brand new so I didn't bother changing that. I will tak some pics this afternoon hopefully

Welcome buddy!

Glad you've found the forum helpful already!

With these guys help I managed to change my breather, air filter and clean out my EGR valve too. Great site!
