When I purchased from my buddy it was my intention to keep this forever however due to relocating to a smaller home I would need to let go of some toys. So, I came to the conclusion that I needed to find a new home for this.\r\nSince the original purchase, I\u2019ve spent on fixing the alignment, powder coated the wheels and brakes, detail, and install small new parts that were wearing out such as the center cup holder roller, window regulator, headlights, and door trim. \r\n\r\nMy BMW mechanic has confirmed the vehicle's excellent condition, with no signs of rust and a strong mechanical performance. It has been garage-stored, never smoked in, and still has that new car smell. All features, including the sunroof and tilt, function perfectly, and no dead pixels which are super common. \r\n\r\nBack in 2007, This vehicle received a new rear diffuser from a BMW Dealership under the 1st owner ownership from a light rear tap at a stoplight from another vehicle at a low speed.\r\n\r\nPlease note that a minor accident was reported on Carfax on 7/15/24, but I'm working with them to resolve the issue as it was an error. Until recently, I noticed there was a change in the Carfax. It is showing a small accident on the left side of the vehicle on 7/15/24. I\u2019ve already spoke with CARFAX and is currently working on getting it fixed as there were no accidents since 2007. You can see the adjustment in the Carfax at the bottom stating \u201cResearch Note Requested.\u201d \r\n\r\nPlease feel free to contact me with any questions and I will do my best to respond in a timely manner. I wish I can keep this car but I hope to see it finds a new loving owner. This X5 runs and drives amazing, the paint is absolutely stunning, interior looks like new especially the grain wood, and is truly a low mile mint condition X5. \r\nWhoever wins the auction is getting a fantastic and good looking BMW with many options.", "likes": 2, "timestamp": 1724779631, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 15398190, "authorName": "ZachWolfe", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/zachwolfe/", "bidAmount": 500, "content": "$500 bid placed by ZachWolfe", "likes": 0, "timestamp": 1724786782, "type": "bat-bid"}, {"id": 15398196, "authorName": "ZachWolfe", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/zachwolfe/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "Any VANOS maintenance history?", "likes": 1, "timestamp": 1724786813, "type": "comment"}, {"id": 15398780, "authorName": "Prestigemfg (The Seller)", "authorUrl": "https://bringatrailer.com/member/prestigemfg/", "bidAmount": 0, "content": "@ZachWolfe: No maintenance history for VANOS.

The Owner's name is Tony and they have fixed numerous things for me the past couple years. I have also learned how to do some repairs/ or minor fixes using YouTube videos.
