Well, 2 days and a ~$1500 trip to glorious Texakana later, I am back home. I will say that the X5 had new tires- runflats of all things! I always hated run flats, but ya know? I kinda like these. Paired with the alignment, the X5 ran like a freakin new car. I cannot wait till I install the Turner solid core kit. It's going to feel like my dear old 3.0!
