Challenge glory?  He is about 2x high on price unless it is super nice.

Just grab this and hold it for me until spring, you know for when my garage is empty.

Let me know if you need a parts car, good pixels and all the windows work.  Mine is a 3.0/2.5/4.4i.  Oh, and a full manual swap kit.

That's the 4.6is, what would be the "M" of the time. 

The transmission from your X wouldnt work as this one is a V8. Same with the cluster, this one has the gray cluster like the e46 M3/e39 M5 of the time. 

That's a really cool X5.

Yeah, I figured none of it would match except the pedal assembly and maybe the 4:10 differentials and other dodads.  I want this X5 but it's just not happening right now with my current over full lot.

Vaguely remembered an Angry notion of a V8 BMW with bad chains in Angry's future, this just looked like a good one.  You know as good as a 20 year old broken BMW can be.

My friend had one when they first came out and I loved it. Modern cars and SUVs are obviously faster, but for the time it was incredible.

I did scratch this itch once with my 1998 740iL. I kept hearing how terrible it was to do the M62 chain and guide job, so I bought one with wasted guides and fixed it over 2 weekends. I still have the tool kit.

I have the itch for an M62 X5 as a Challenge car, so it has to be bought right. At $1000, this would be a good starting point.
