X5 options

Recommended Posts

Am looking at possible getting an X5 to tow a trailer for work - ( would rather spend 10-12k on BMW than 20k on a hilux :) )

Am currently thinking the 99-2002 vintage probs the 3.0L with a sportpac.

Any opinions/words of wisdom appreciated - the 3L versus the V8 etc.

I am aware that the maintenance costs will be much higher than a toyota etc.......

3.0i petrol will really struggle towing. Get the 4.4 - all the torque you will ever need.

3.0d is the most sensible/versatile option but the price reflects that.

how tidy is this!?

3 litre petrol drinks as much as the V8 for normal driving, would suggest would be even worse when towing.

Have found a nice 2001 diesel, rebuilt trans and front transaxle. Is that normal for 275km? Would a 2005 be the higher spec engine?
