The X5 3.0D Sport facelift 6-gear auto is the one to go for (2005-2006). Bullet-proof engine and gearbox. Superb driving experience on and off road in all conditions.

Sports model is optional. Stock is more comfortable on bad roads. Facelift started at late 2003. I have both, facelift and prefacelift. Both are good cars if very well kept. Prefacelift actually have little bit better awd system wich works 62% at rear and 38% at the front.

@@carguy0446 I live in my X5 full-time year round, exploring wild regions on and off road. They are very capable vehicles with bags of interior space.

From 2010-2016 I had an 06 4.4i and loved it. Door handles jam, window motors break...gaskets get leaky, transfer case gets stripped if you drive it off road, water pump may go...other than that it's pretty good from my experience

@@Shotyoudie that's a lot, but that's because of the 5speed automatic gearbox. With the six speed there's a little bit less rpm. It's kind of loud when accelerating, but not loud on constant speed. It's louder because of cat delete that previous owner did. I like the sound.

Wrong statement. Facelift e53 were made from 2004 to 2007. Only downside for prefacelift was gearbox reliablity and power, but even so, i like gear change smoothness and Awd system on pref more. Awd system is from same era Range Rovers and works all the time 62/38.
