There has been many myths on this board to just lubricate or use antifreeze on them. They all don't work...tried them all. The cables are redesigned after 02 and do not to freeze.
I even called BMW for assistance because there is a TSB to change them...they told me to pound salt. The Mini coppers suffered the same problem.
Because of the problems with X5's, I still own 2, I went to Porsches.

Bought a PORSCHE before I bought a BMW. Will probably get a Cayenne for the next truck.
