oh ya, also noticed my drivers headlight is broken, oh joy, guess the shop that changed the engine removed the front end because the bumper was definitely off as well. WELL adding Depo headlights to my list too :/
how old is the ccv in your x5?(if more than 2 yrs replace it as preventive maintance or it may freeze and hydrolock your engine and possibly need a new engine)$800.00 installed is a well worth investment compared to a new engine.
lube door handle mechanisms , silicone weather strips, lube latches all around and hinges, check hoses, drive belts, all fluids. these x5`s need alot of tlc.
