FYI I am in Chicago as well (Streeterville next to the lake), who are you using for your Indy ? I'm using M & R Car Import Services (on Sheffield) in Lincoln Park.

I had the CCV valve replaced during my 'fix all oil leaks' repair back in 11/17 when the alternator bracket failed in spectacular fashion, so hopefully the CCV valve won't fail anytime soon.
I live in Logan and commute to the 'burbs for work. I've been using Bimmer Werkshop just off the Kennedy at Montrose. They are easy walking distance to the blue line so it works well when I'll be carless. Thanks for the reco on M&R. Always nice to have options!
And if we ever end up in the same parking lot together, it's quite likely that I'll be standing next to your car pulling on the driver's door handle of your car wondering why the hell the door won't open! My X5 is nearly identical to yours
