    FinanceGuy's Maintenance/Project thread -- 08 E70

    I've been on the hunt for a good weekend use, family hauler car to replace my wife's Subaru Forester.
    Now, the Forester, while a great car, has had many issues, including 5 recalls, 2 of while were engine management firmware upgrades. It wasn't exactly been a trouble free brand new car (leased with 7 miles on the ODO).

    With that in mind, the lease is up in a few months. I have no intention of buying the car. So, the hunt was one to find something else.

    I present to you a 2008 MONACOBLAU X5 3.0SI N52B30 (N52k common name)







    I'll be picking the car up this Friday. The inspection II should be completed today, and full detail is scheduled for Tomorrow. Both interior and exterior detail with Charlie's favorite task of paint correction in spots.

    Details:
    Mileage: 106,000
    Nevada Beige Leather
    02/6/2008 build date
    Factory Nav
    Backup camera
    5+2 seating option (3rd row!)
    Lights package (xenon lights)
    Premium package
    Cold weather package
    Rear entertainment system

    1 owner car maintained by BMW of Bridgeport, CT.

    Plans for the car include minor coding work from BWMhatt app, a few small exterior details, and a Turner Motorsports software upgrade (to get the most out of the little 3.0 engine).
