Yesterday afternoon I stopped by the BMW dealership south of here and had them print out a service history of everything that's been done to the X, so I now have pretty complete records. Seems like most everything was done at a dealership up through 97K, and it's at 111K now, and I am now working with the shop that worked on it from 97K until I bought it. Seems like a lot of the common stuff has already been done.

Today it's in the shop still trying to suss out this front end shudder. Most all of the front suspension has been redone in the last 10K, new rotors when I bought it. I have a sneaking suspicion that it's the caliper pins sticking, since the problem comes and goes. Friday & Saturday it was doing it pretty bad. Of course Monday and Tuesday it didn't do it at all. He's going to check wheel balance, make sure the new rotors don't need to be machined, and check the caliper pins today.

Also, while I was at the dealership I picked up 4 of the window clips so I can do that some Sunday this fall when there's no interesting games on.
