I just got the x5 3 months ago and just looking over the previous owners service history, I couldn't afford just one of these things going wrong. so there is a price to pay upfront removing the components or just wait for an unfortunate time so the car starts kicking you in the balls.

So the total investment for me is $804 bucks for the Buzzken kit and $600 for the TRF tune since they have that deal going and you also have pay 25 bucks to send the ecu in. so if you do the work yourself you are spending $1,425 bucks
but the parts you sell should be worth more than that, just the 2 NOX sensors are worth 250 each easily.

Previous owner was quoted that much for the tank all tho somehow it was still covered by bmw.

So I just found this EGR delete kit that fits the x5d
it's not as fancy as the AARodriguez "race pipe" but for $23.88 who can argue against it?

I guess it does not come with the hardware to bypass the coolant lines but that can probably be done with some hoses from home depot.
not that it bothers me the way it is now but it would clean up the engine bay a bit.
btw does anyone know how to drain the urea thank? I tried poking the hose that connects to the metering valve but nothing comes out of it. Im assuming if you drain the active tank the passive tank should drain too.
