Thinking about buying an 06 x3..any advice/things to look for?

Hey I'm thinking about buying a 2006 x3 with 152k miles from United BMW in GA.

Any big issues I should be worried about? I am fairly mechanically inclined, things like oil/brakes/suspension are within my ability. Would a high mileage x3 be a good used car to have or should I stay away?

I bought 2006 X3 with 105k miles 2 months back. I bought it from a reputed, BMW enthusiast car dealer. Before selling, he replaced front shocks/some gasket and engine oil. I got 3 months power terrain warranty

I think main problem with these cars is Transfer case for Xdrive...which is not a big expense at Indy shops.
If the car you are looking for is in good condition, engine and transmission running good then you should go for it. Make sure you get the right price.
My SA at BMW dealership told me these cars are bullet proof.
I bought mine to deal with bad roads/valet parking/occasional NYC trips.
My other e93 is lowered with 19'' wheels, I have to protect that :-)
