Good to see another Michigander on here! Bet you enjoyed that warm weather down there compared to a week ago! Love the Mid-Michigan area to "get lost" in the woods for a week or so in the spring & fall, not a whole lot of good places to backpack & hike for an entire week in West Michigan...
Are you planning on doing the full delete on this one too? Once the weather warms up, this is on my "to do list" for sure.

I had thought about getting it sprayed but seeing as how I used to work for a Tier 1 supplier to the X5 plant I know that BMW designs all of there cars to be completely rust free for at least 10 years. Our old X5 was a 2009 and spent it's entire life in Ohio/Michigan and it didn't have a spec of rust on it, not even on the undercarriage.
I am doing a full delete very soon (EGR, DPF, CC) as well as swirl flap delete, Whitbread fluid dampner and silicone hoses In/Out of the intercooler while he's in there. I would like to try and remove the actual DPF tanks too but I know there are some electronics to deal with when doing that but the less in the engine bay the better I always say.
