One owner (leased and then purchased), California car, Well maintained throughout its life. 
This is one car that just would not die --- My wife took it from new to 160K miles and just got tired of this car.  Purchased a new X5 in 2011.   Kept it as 3rd car, but I just got a new BMW too, so this became a 4th car that we no longer need.

The car has original engine and transmission and never had trouble in both.   Car takes about 1 quart oil in between oil changes (always have used synthetic) that BMW service indicator tells -- usually around 10K~12K miles.  The automatic transmission shifts no different than when it was new -- no gear shifting up or down issues.   Always passed California Smog test with no issues.

New Continental all-season tires with around 4000 miles on them.  Always maintained properly and used OEM replacement parts by my mechanic.  Recent (3 yrs) major repair/maintenance noted below.   It should be self-evident that this car has been well maintained/repaired promptly.

2014-02 (191K miles) New Tires, Heater/AC blower motor resistor replaced.  Oxygen Sensor replaced.
2013-12 (189K miles) Fuel gauge sending unit replaced.  Front-end Tension Strut, ball-joints, etc, replaced (about time/miles to do this).
2011-01 (176K miles) Radiator reserve tank replaced. Washer pump replaced.  Battery replaced.
2011-01 (176K miles) Transfer Case Assembly ("drive train") replaced w/ new OEM parts (over $4K - only major mechanical repair)
2010-04 (155K miles) New brake pad, rotors, etc.
Note: All four power window failed (not motors, but plastic mechanical parts, a common problem, and has been all repaired/replaced -1st one around 50K miles, and last one around 130K miles).

Now for the condition of the car.  All the functions, every indicator lamp, control, etc, work on this car -- every flaw that is known to me is listed below (after the options).    The paint is in just amazing shape -- the car was NOT waxed before pictures were taken -- the shine indicates the original clear-coat (over metallic green-grey color) still in great shape and not oxidized.  AC/Heat works really well -- no different since new.  Spare tire is full size, all OEM included tools intact (never used), Two key/remotes (one well used but fully functional and one like-new), one service key plus a plastic key, and owners manual in the glove compartment.  Bluetooth hands-free (Motorola T505 aftermarket) will be included and left in the car.

This car has full option (premium, cold-weather, etc), minus sports package.  That means,
- Navigation (factory, and western USA map included)
- Leather and wood trim.
- Rear privacy tinted (factory) windows, and window shade (factory)
- Rear seat, split 60/40 and power reclining on each part.
- Heated Seats (two front) and six way power seats, and head-lamp power washer jets
- HID head lamps.  

And the standard features for BMW X5 2002 could be had through searching internet.  Cars.com has a good summary, but there are others.

List of Flaws
- Paint scrapes on front bumper -- both sides (pictured)
- Center armrest -- odd but only this armrest leather surface is visibly worn.
- Center armrest -- there are two storage area, main, and "cell phone" area.  the latch open for the "cell phone" area is stuck open -- and is held by removable putty -- thought about just super-gluing this latch shut but did not.   You could.
- Small tear on door panel (pictured)
- One of the park-distance sensor on the rear bumper is held (completely secure and tight, but...) by wire (pictured)
- A few visible "parking lot" dings - no damage to paint but visible.
- Navigation LCD screen has developed display "dead" region on lower right side, about and less than 0.5" by 1" area (pictured) at about 130K miles.  Further expansion of this LCD screen "dead" area has not expanded in recent years.
- Back of the driver's seat "magazine"pocket is a bit stretched out (pictured).  The other magazine pocket is not.
- Trunk mounted 6 CD changer removable cartridge has a stuck CD -- probably repairable but not functional, but sold AS-IS.
- Car had low-speed accident w/ damage to the rear at around 30K miles -- bumper and rear panels replaced/repaired by new parts.
- The trunk/rear window is not original OEM -- was broken into at around 160K miles, and replaced with non OEM glass (i.e. same part and spec, but no BMW logo found on this glass, BTW, rear defroster works fine as expected).

Note: Turtle sticker on the trunk window is on the outside and removable by peeling it off.
Note: Noticed that the Autocheck reports 1st accident (low speed rear damage) correctly, but 2nd accident listed for 2014-04 is in error.  There was no incident/accident on this car (my wife's X5 -2011 model did have a minor accident at that time under the same insurance company).

Updated BMW X6 spied running the 'Ring in Germany

Tue, 22 Oct 2013

Following the debut of the X5 earlier this year, it shouldn't come as a shock that BMW is testing an updated X6 in its homeland. The Munich-based manufacturer trekked to the Nürburgring to test the lifted, four-door coupe it calls a Sports Activity Vehicle, while also giving us our first peak as to what the future holds for one of the weirder models in the brand's stable.
Mainly, we can safely expect the next X6 to get the same range of refinements made to its platform-mate, the X5, which debuted earlier this year. If we're lucky, that could mean an X6 sDrive35i, complete with rear-wheel drive with which to fling the big SAV about. Adding a rear-drive option could also broaden its admittedly limited appeal by lowering the cost of entry, which could serve the pricier X6 well. As a point of reference, the X5 sDrive35i is priced at $2,300 below an xDrive all-wheel-drive-equipped model.
The X6's top-flight xDrive50i model should get the same 45-horsepower bump as the X5 xDrive50i, thanks to refinements to its twin-turbocharged, 4.4-liter V8, while the 3.0-liter, turbocharged six-pot should remain unchanged. We wouldn't hold our breath for an X6 diesel to arrive, although weirder stuff has happened. Like the X5, though, this should be a pretty slim refit that improves an already competent package to go along with an expected increase in price.

BMW: i8 sold out, i3 records 10k orders

Mon, 25 Nov 2013

Just in case anyone was wondering how plug-in BMW cars would be received, the answer is apparently "quite well." After speaking with BMW's global sales chief last week at the LA Auto Show, Reuters has learned that the plug-in hybrid i8 sports coupe is already sold out for its first year on the market.
There is no word as to how many i8s BMW sold, but the first example was delivered to a customer last week in Germany. As for the all-electric/range-extended i3 hatchback, the automaker has received more than 10,000 orders for this model before it even goes on sale. Likewise, we don't know how many BMW plans to sell, but we do know they'll be showing up in the US before next summer.
We've already spent some time behind the wheel of both plug-in BMWs, and you can check out our first drive of the production i3 and our first drive of an i8 prototype.
