Finally drove my X5 for the first time this morning!

In the last few weeks I've been cleaning up all the little things that were not functioning since I picked it up.

Rear air suspension lifting on it's own to max height. Replaced the rear height sensors, seemed to do the trick.

Codes for catalyst efficiency. Changed both rear O2 sensors. No more engine light.

Did an oil change just because.

iDrive knob was all broken, ordered a used one from Ebay and replaced it. Finally have access to iDrive menu now.

Because I have iDrive access I could now look at the TPMS warning I was getting. Set all tire pressures and reset through iDrive, problem solved.

Had no stereo sound in the vehicle. Went through all fuses, everything checked out fine. Started worrying I might be replacing the amp. Pulled rear cover to at least look at the amp and see what I'm dealing with. Amp was missing it's own fuse for some reason. Put a 20A fuse in and voila I have sound!! Love the simple fixes.

But when checking the sound, found that my CCC volume knob is broken. It still functions to turn it off and on with a push, but it doesn't control volume at all. SWC work just fine, so I'm leaning towards just letting it be. Maybe if I'm feeling rambunctious I'll pull the CCC unit out one day and see if I can't jimmy rig some sort of repair for the volume knob.

Still needing a really good detail job on this thing. But it was nice to finally park the old work beater Accord and start driving the cheap X5 for work commuting.
