Purchased my 2005 X3 about a month ago, first time I've owned a beamer, wanted a 4x4 ready for winter, I've owned an Audi TT which had awd via the haldex diff, but was very small, and I've owned 2 nissan navara, very big and a little agricultural,
Thought the X3 was a nice in between choice for what I needed, it's black, 2005 2.5i model, 120000miles all leather and it's in good condition with loads of service history, however, problems have all ready started ::) ::), I'll have a look thru the forum, hopefully I will find some answers, if not I'll start a new thread in the correct area,
I will get some pics up when I get a chance,
