Had one like this a bunch of years back.  3 little old ladies pulled out right in front of us.  Hit them square in the rear.

When the police showed up, One of the little old ladies says with a straight face: " Officer, Officer, He sped up and hit us".

The look on his face was priceless.

Glad everyone walked away. 

That's funny!

This is hilarious. No worry about someone being an idiot and pointing the finger at you.

Glad you are all safe and sound. 

Thanks guys

Nice interior!

[YoungCR]

Very nice! Those X5's are great. I6 or V8?

Thanks! It was one of my favorite color combinations.

Ended up getting the I6 since it gets a little better mileage. It will be doing more highway driving and grocery runs (family car)

[GB-335xiCoupe]

Very nice. Yesterday I found myself watching YouTube videos and reading reviews on X1. The second generation 2015(?) or 2016 can be bought for around $24k used. Seems they depreciate very quickly. Which is good for guys like me who never buy brand new.

[patsbimmer1]

The X1 is tempting but when i looked at one it didnt have any more room in it than my e90 and id actually say the e90 has more luggage space than the X1 unless you fold the back seats down.

So now the question is, is there anything I should take care of before it goes wrong on it?

Timing belt and valve adjustment. Penor Motorsports special Veterans day sale, $250

It's an x5.  Just open your wallet and wait for shit to fail!  If it's a 35i then there's a good chance you'll do a water pump eventually.

I expect that with every Bmw made already

[Jeff]

I will be more specific, is there any preventative maintenance items I should take care of before the single digits hit and the snow fly’s.

It has 104,000 miles and Is the 3.0L

1. park car outside

2. get in cold car

3. assume the washer fluid can cut through the frosty windshield

4. frantically switch wipers off because your precious wiper blades are being wrecked by chunks of ice 

5. watch wipers go through another cycle or two and not trust that they are turned off

6. try to turn wipers off again

7. realize they were off the first time you tried

8. watch the wipers get wrecked for another 4 or 5 cycles

9. post about it on local forum
