X5chemist will become famous soon enough
Being across town, I took advantage of not working today. A new front giubo was installed. It was missed during the oil pan gasket fix. The new one is slightly wider. The old one still looked good. I think it had been replace once. I could not get it to fit. The star metal plate was clocked incorrectly. The bolts would not fit. I had to look up how it fit properly. Once the plate was aligned, it fit perfectly. It's cheap to rent a lift at DIY shop.

Now I understand how a post face lift version is different. Guess I won't need that aluminum spacer from Russia.
