I WILL ADD ANOTHER SET OF SAME OEM WHEELS AND RUN FLAT TIRES- worth about $1600 for FREE to the buyer. The additional wheels have RFT on them! Those tires typically go for $300 each ALONE without wheel!THIS CAR IS AN AMAZING DEAL as it sports rare 7 SEATs and the 3.0L NOT the gas guzzler 4.8L engine.
***IT RUNS AND DRIVES but has issues with transmission so DUE TO LIABILITY MUST BE TOWED as I do not know what the exact problem is - TRANSMISSION software or hardware ***
It has 2 BRAND NEW airbags (due to Takata recall - not some accident - dealer installed) and BRAND NEWnew fuel pump BMW dealer installed last week.

I have been driving it past 4 weeks daily. Only reason I am selling it and not fixing to be TIP TOP condition is lack of space to park it in Bay Area while I am gone. It is a steal price for a car that has 6 cylinder and better gas mileage than the 8 cylinder X5 versions that are much more common. The car does run and drive (I have driven it DAILY for past 4 weeks) and has clean title. I am listing it as a car with TRANSMISSION DAMAGE TO ERR on the side of the buyer as I hear it also grind and give noise when it starts up especially up hill and I see transmission malfunction message on screen. (On Craigslist I saw transmission with ENTIRE engine (engine is not needed for it - I assume only transmission IF it cannot be fixed) for about $1100 negotiable).If it was not for my personal family changes I would NEVER be selling it.BMW X5 3.0si E70 model withnormally aspirated engine without any turbos etc. for the price that BMW X5 E53 previous modelscould go for. Please assume the car will probably need a new transmission even though I have noidea if this is the case -still - caveat emptor buyer beware. Car had oil change &installed new filter for oil and air, put magnet drain plug. As per BMW spec BMW has claimed transmissions are not serviceable and should not be opened. I guess it is BMW so I did as per BMW recommendations and did not do any flush or add any transmission fluids. Maybe I should have ignored BMW recommendations and I would this way never get this error.
The car just had free of charge replacement of fuel pump and 2 airbags that BMW was supposed to do for it. I have title and registration in my only name in hand (registration valid till March 2018). The car runs&drives but may need to be TOWED at a POINT LONG DISTANCE in time. How soon? no idea. It may be just software glitch or a whole transmission may need replacement.

additional issues in addition to transmission malfunction: -front glass has a crack - need to glued or probably replaced-engine light on. it had been on since I got it. I drove it with no issues from NC to LAX and it had 21-24mpg (factory says its gas mileage is 23mpg I think).
- In LA in heavy traffic I got the transmission malfunction issue screen but made it no problem 300+ miles to Bay Area and have been using the car.-all lights are good but for the two on the hatch that I removed bulbs from (hence computer says left/right rear brake light). Those are auxiliary lights. They are not needed as those are those additional lights on hatch.-park is lit up as yellow (not red as in PARK brakeengaged)parking brake needs adjustment. I have driven without adjusting it and never had any issues. YouTube has videos how to regulate the PARK brake to get rid of this message on dash. I had not time to deal with this 'CEREMONY' that BMW has for parking brakes adjustment.-seat calibration. BMW has seat memory 'ceremony' and they need to be calibrated. in manual it states how to do that. I had no time to deal with it given the tense schedule.
I try to have it washed by a friend very 2 weeks but given I am out of the area all the timeit would probably be nice if it got washed thoroughly and vacuumed. Also the battery I am not sure if the right one for this car so I disconnect it when I am not using it.
Car has:* LEATHER SEATING in good condition -if it was cleaned it would look excellent* 18 INCH WHEELS WITH GOOD TIRES (INSTALLED 5/9/17)* PARKING SENSORS* 7 SEATS (VERY RARE EXPENSIVE OPTION)* HUGE PANORAMIC SUNROOF* AMAZING 3.0 INLINE 6 ENGINE (no failure prone TURBOS)* 4X4 WITH ALL SPEED TRACTION CONTROL AND STABILITY CONTROL* XENON HEAD LIGHTS* ONE KEY

This is just for legal reasons: Car is sold as is where is without any express or implied warranty of any kind. Buyer is responsible for checking it but I have done all I could to describe it with maximum diligence.
I reserve the right to back out of sale at any time for any reason or no reason if I deem transaction to be unsafe or I am not comfortable with it. Car will NOT BE DELIVERED UNTIL FULL PAYMENT HAS CLEARED AND A SIMPLE CAR PURCHASE CONTRACT HAS BEEN SIGNED. Please do NOT hesitate to make me A REASONABLE OFFER AND I SHALL CONSIDER AND ENGAGE IN A REASONABLE DISCUSSION.The car will be sold WITHOUT plates -you can test drive it but once purchases if you want to drive it you need to register it in your name and under your insurance.
It is a used car and the buyer is requested, asked and responsible for inspecting it. I have described it as diligently as I possibly only could but since it is a used car and a BMW at that I am requesting that you inspect it or have it inspected by a qualified person specializing in BMW. It is your responsibility to inspect the car. It is a used car. Please be reasonable as well as this is a car from 2007 so it has some other minor imperfections. If it was not for my personal family changes I would NEVER be selling it.
