wpoll, yes sir you are correct e-torx and torx. sorry words are not my friend sometimes and it helps if I use the correct terms rather than trying to describe the item.
All I know is that they are buggers if they snap. Infact, the whole pressed in ball joint to knuckle idea stinks of something the BMW engineers had to use as they already had parts off the 5 series and they would last 3 years under stress testing. I love the x5 but small things like this can make a simple job VERY time consuming.
