eskirvin is on a distinguished road
I bought it, so now I own any problems it has. Things I've noted so far:
1) The little guides for the AC vents are broken on 3 or 4 of the vents. Seems like an inexpensive fix.
2) The driver side visor fell out of the mounting hole. If it is like my 2005 X5s, it should have some pin that is perhaps missing. I'll be checking this weekend.
3) The sway bar end links aren't in great shape. They aren't rattling yet, but will need to be replaced soon.
4) The front tires were shot and I replaced all 4.
5) The pads and rotors are worn. I don't think it's had the brakes done before, which is very common here in Kuwait. I've seen a number of cars with the groves from the pad rivets driving like maniacs. I've ordered Powerstop replacements. I could use some advice here...is changing pads and rotors complicated by any technology? I've done a LOT of pads and rotors over the years, but not on this model.

After I get it washed this weekend, I'll take some pictures and post them.
