\r\n \r\n how many miles it got?
\nand how much
\n
\n
\nthey tend to have electrical problems
\n
\nmy recommendation is dont buy it
\nare you buying it just cause its a bmw? save your money and especially since its high mileage, every part to fix on that thing is expensive and usually dealer only\r\n

\r\n \r\n i work at a specialized european auto shop in biloxi...they are great cars...as for electrical problems... never to my knowledge and we do at least 20 services on bmw\'s a day. major problems are window regulators which can be an ass to change...the awd is great on the x. and they are one of the most high mileage capable cars out. if you like it get it...YES you will pay to play but, hell thats with anything cool...i drive a supercharged mini cooper..(owned by bmw) and it has been a fantastic car. i would say go for it... but like everyone else said...don\'t do it to be cool...do it bc its what you want. IMO\r\n
