Lol if your E83 parts bin is anything like your E46 parts bin then you could probably assemble a skeleton X3

Fortunately there is a lot of commonality between E46 and E83.

Hopefully, you'll keep it a bit longer than 6 months or so-

I wouldn't hold my breath. Peter has automotive ADD.

LOL'ing at this now. we've had the X3 for 15 months now.

That's still not a very long time. There's time yet for y'all decide to switch it up.

haha... yep, indeed. although with our projected life plans, it's going to hang around for a bit. i need to get at least another 3 years out of it, so it's going to get some more TLC this spring.

it's currently sitting at 326K KMs (~201K miles), so i expect some issues to be cropping up. the T/O bearing is quite loud at low speeds, so i know a clutch is in it's future, which i don't want to do (horrid job without a lift), but i will certainly tackle some "while i'm in there" jobs as well - driveshaft flex disc and CSB, rear diff bushings, SMF conversion kit, trans mount, shift linkage refresh. it's currently all very sloppy.

replaced LF ABS sensor @ 329K KMs. lights be gone!
