I say this a lot but we were hoping to get four years of reliable use out of this old BMW. We are 5.5 years in now, and I like this car a lot more than I thought I would. So we are committing to keep it running well for a bit longer. Our family car got into a fender bender a few weeks ago, so we are going to take this on a 1,000 mile road trip for the holiday as well.
Anyone have any specific experience with the GAS DISA repair kit? It seems like a good product/upgrade.

Should pick up 1 coil for the trip. Easy to replace if you need to and having one on hand will prevent the uber price markup having to buy local to wherever you are.
I've still got my eye out for a manual (5 or 6spd) x5 that needs saving. Think it could be a very fun experience.
