From where I am (Bronx NY) it's a 15 Hour drive. So I am seeking information from those of you who have traveled far in our cars (X5) and tell me what should I take with me, what preventive maintenance I should do to the car. I will be leaving Friday 11pm. The most I've ever driven is 9 hours, so I know I will need to stop a few times.
Any information will be amazing...
Thank you in advance

I just came back from a straight 18-20 hour trip (both ways) to West Palm Beach from NYC last month. Pretty sweet ride and all i took was my small tool box, USB cable and washer fluid. Car has been pretty much maintained by me so I didnt need to change anything aside from the Air Filter. I would say check your tires and tire pressures, take washer fluid (you can also buy on the road I guess), make sure you have an APP that can read OBD codes just in case (if you dont have a laptop with software already), Road flares and check you car insurance to see if you get road side assistance. If your car is already in good standing, just get in and enjoy the ride
