Oil and filter change with high mileage synth oil. Pulled the filter apart and am happy to report no plastic bits therein. Of course they could all be in the bottom of the pan!

Also tried to do a fuel filter change but upon pulling the needlessly complicated protective cover over the gas tank and filter, I immediately noticed that I had been sent the wrong filter. The one I bought was twice as long and had different connectors. Not sure what it is supposed to go to, but definintely not the 2002 4.4i X5 that I put into the website. The vacuum hose rubber was completely shot but the lines and connectors looked almost new.

Got into the left front door as the window was jamming and found that both clips were barely hanging on, and the slide on one side of the regulator had come off the cable. Nothing surprises me with the pathetically poorly engineered window regulators in the X5...definitely don't live up to the usual German engineering standards. I have replaced two window regulators in my 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee in 29 years yet have thrown at least 6, and untold numbers of clips at the X5 in 20. I've got a regulator, vapor barrier and clips inbound from Pelican. Meanwhile I've got the door card under surgery as the plastic adhesive has failed in a couple spots where the clips attach the door to the card. Gorilla plastic epoxy seems to be doing the job, but we will see if it holds under stress. I'll probably upgrade the speakers in the door since I've got the panel off.
