I performed the long tranny break in procedure myself (thanks to my local bretheren Doru and Florin for compiling the info and purpose) and i think it helped a bunch. I could have performed a lot of this myself but time has been tight and i just wanted it done

Oh and finally got around to installing the new Delphi fuel pump last night since I received my fancy fuel ring removal tool. worked perfectly!!!!! And I'm sure this is all in my head, but the new Delphi pump (which is physically smaller) seems to start the X5 faster and pedal response seemed quicker. Original one still worked perfect at 205k kms but why not replace it since I've seen some "stranded" posts on here lately.
This new Delphi pump is a newer, slightly different looking pump. install took 1.5 hours, so not bad at all and in that time I vacuumed and took the time to undo some fasteners holding the black rubber down, instead of ripping the black rubber under seats, over metal frame so I could bend the black rubber back without damage.
I still have the original pump incase this new one craps out for some reason. it sucks when you keep a good usable old part just as a back-up part... I've got no storage space left on my shelves in garage.
