+2 thanks mam4.6. It'll be a bit of a learning curve for me too. New to all this programming stuff. I have many 'old school' vehicles in my stable that I've worked on over the years (points, adjusting valves, timing etc.) and have that pretty down pat, but this is a whole new ball game for me....
Did spend yesterday morning in my 'workshop' while it was pouring down. Basic service on the X5 - oil, filter, serviced K n N filter, checked CV boots (all fine), overall inspection of steering components (all good too). Noticed a minor leak at bottom of power steering fluid reservoir, so will keep an eye on this. Very happy with my recent purchase (3 months ago). First BMW ever and quite impressed with the vehicle so far, but heaps to learn about it and much to monitor too. Out of our 11 vehicles (some business) my wife likes the X5 best of all, so that's half the battle won from my perspective.
