Hi all, I just join this forum because doing some research first. I am looking at getting a 10 year old X3 E83. Milage looks to be quite reasonable at just over 100k. I just want to gather some views on what to look out for if i were to commit to this. Regular maintenance is understandable. Changing parts...I also gather is almost mandatory but would like to know what are the parts to look out for and if there is engine oil burning, any tell tale signs etc. I just want to make sure i get the cost right so that I dont jump in and then get blind sided by a lemon. I understand that there is no guarantees in life...but Im hoping by doing all this, I at the very least do my due diligence and mitigate some of the risk. Appreciate any feedback. Btw how do I know if its using the m54 engine and if I need to change gearbox or overhaul the engine in the worst case, what is the cost like ?
