2001 BMW X5 4.4i Sport Staggered 19" Wheels OEM Hitch Well Maintained
2001 BMW X5 4.4i Sport Utility 4-Door Description
I'm a BMW enthusiast and have owned this car for 3.5 years. I bought it knowing it would need some maintenance and went over it from front to back. Please review the long list below. It drives great. It has minor cosmetic issues - a few scratches and door dings, and the drivers seat is starting to crack. There are lots of photos - please review them all to get a good idea of the condition.
I encourage bidders to inspect the vehicle before bidding. It is not a brand new vehicle and I want you to be sure you are happy with what you are getting. Contact me to arrange an inspection.
No returns. Sold as-is.
Comes with 2 remote keys. One original (a little worn) and one newer key.
Has a genuine BMW 2" receiver hitch with all the proper reinforcements and wiring.
Rear tires are new (within the last 500 miles) and it was aligned then. Front tires are 3-4 years old and were still in great shape and so were not replaced.
Has the rare "cold weather" CCV hose heater kit installed.
Interior bulbs upgraded to LED. Had the optional rear foot well lights retrofitted.
Front and rear wiper arms upgraded to E70 style
Headlights polished, new aftermarket taillights (not LED)
Has new Euro-spec "aspherical" side view mirrors (both sides) with the wide angle outer section to reduce blind spot problems.
The carfax says there was one accident with a previous owner. I have had the bumpers off and door panels off and don't see any evidence of hidden damage. It definitely has a variety of small dings and scratches. I've tried to keep them protected with touchup paint to prevent rust. The drivers "A" pillar has a scratch. The hood has a 1/2" dent and a mark where someone pried off the roundel (it has a new roundel). The drivers "C" pillar has a scratch that I used touchup + primer on. Each door has at least one "ding". The corner of the upper hatch had a scratch that I used touchup on.
