Well gents, it's been a pleasure. At 138,021 mile, I have officially traded in my 2005 X5 for a 2012 Lexus RX350. It was a love-hate relationship between us, but over the years there were more bads than goods. Do I enjoy driving? Yes. Do I love how it handles? Yes. Do I feel invincible in it? Yes. However, it's the nagging stuffs that eventually took its toll. And I'm not talking about mechanical issues (although there's a few of those). Rather, it's the little stuffs like door handles and washer fluid pumps. Oh well, all good things must come to an end. Thank you again, gents, for all the help through the years. I couldn't have become an honorary BMW mechanic without y'all. Good luck.
