Well I think most of my issue is gone for now. My battery died Sunday night. I removed the battery and left everything unhooked for 12 hours and then installed a new battery. Now it runs like a different truck. The near constant hesitation is gone. MPGs are up. Idrive boots better.

The battery started the x5 fine. The problem was it would die if I sat with the ignition on but the engine not running withing 5-10 minutes.
