Alright guys, sad times here. I have made the decision to part out my X5. No one local wants to buy it on FB, even for $1000. I sold the hood, tailgate and steering wheel yesterday.. so officially it's the beginning of the end.
I'll be listing a JL Audio Stealthbox on eBay (contact me asap 😉
and probably a few other parts that can help me recoup some of my costs over the last 5-6 years. It is actually an interesting feeling pulling parts off of the car you've put so much time and parts into over the years, then to hand them off to a stranger for a fraction of what it cost you. Similar feeling when I watched the kid drive off in my e36 M3 that I 6 speed swapped. But you can't keep everything and I have too much stuff and not enough hours in the day for it all.
My suburban gets a solid 10-11 MPGs but can haul anything you attach it to 😂. I have my e39 M5 and my wife's 07 X3 M-Sport left as far as BMWs go.
Thank you all for the advice and recommendations and information from this site and I hope my previous posts help someone in the future.
