With further internet investigation this is a leading suspect... I am less than thrilled with the potential diagnosis as the internet reports $9-$12K to repair this problem...

I see there are two fixes, one just inserts a pipe in the front of the tube and solves one end of the pipe, the other involves a little more labor (10-15 hours) and a special collapsible pipe.

Since the trade in value of this X4 is only about $7,500 I'm not about to spend more than that to keep it on the road. To make crap worse, I'm moving to a rental house today so I can start demolition on my kitchen, living, dining, entry way... not a lot of spare time to fix anything myself, or to even go new car shopping which isn't in the budget either...
