Owner's Pitch
"2003 BMW X5 3.0i project car with only 134k original miles. The chassis is in fair condition with the desirable 4WD drivetrain and clean title. While it needs a new engine, it serves as an excellent parts donor or a high-potential project for a DIY mechanic looking for a classic E53 SUV."

Description
Overview: This 2003 BMW X5 3.0i is a 4WD SUV finished in green. It features a clean title and has significantly lower-than-average mileage for its age, currently showing 134,121 miles on the odometer.
Mechanical Status: Please note that the vehicle currently needs a new engine. It is being sold as-is, making it an ideal candidate for a mechanic's special or a parts vehicle for a restoration project.
Chassis and Body: The vehicle is in fair condition overall. As a Southern California car, it offers a solid foundation for those looking to rebuild a classic early-2000s luxury SUV.
Market Highlights
- The Project Market: In 2026, early generation BMW X5s (E53) have entered 'young classic' status. While mechanical issues are a major hurdle, the relatively low mileage on this chassis makes it an attractive donor for enthusiasts who have a spare M54 engine ready for a swap.
- Regional Demand: In Southern California, rust-free project cars are highly sought after by out-of-state buyers and local flippers. A clean-title BMW SUV for under $1,500 represents a low-risk entry point for those with the tools to perform a major mechanical repair.
- Value in Parts: The market value of $1,250 is underpinned by the vehicle's component value. Between the 4WD transfer case, transmission, interior panels, and intact glass, the vehicle is worth its asking price even if it never returns to the road as a runner.
