    New To Bmw - Help Purchasing Used X5 Please

    Substrate replied to ExmoorNGF's topic in The Owners Club General Discussions
    Thanks for the welcome, I know how expensive and terminal semi auto boxes can be. I love automatics and big V8's so does anyone have an idea how much a repair or god forbid a replacement gearbox unit would be? Cheers Substrate

    New To Bmw - Help Purchasing Used X5 Please

    Substrate replied to ExmoorNGF's topic in The Owners Club General Discussions
    I am in the same market for a used X5. I am not bothered if it is a petrol or diesel but would prefer the V8 petrol. I have had a V8 Disco in the past so I am aware of the fuel costs ;-). How long can you expect the diesel and V8's to last? I am not afraid to do the maintenance and love fiddling with cars but service manuals are not easy to obtain. Does anyone have any recommendations for either the Bentley manual or the emanuals.com offerings? Other than the electrical issues what are the other items I should be looking for when buying? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Cheers Substrate
