Wow! Nice family!. I was worried about a 230 mile round trip from Austin to Waco. I met a fellow owner with a recent trade which included a 4.4i X5. He sold me a set of Weathertech mats and a set of xenon headlights. I'll post pics soon. His X5 is black. Hopefully he'll sign up for the site. He knows about our addiction. He discounted prices since I traveled to pick up parts. In return, I gave him a rear hatch button rubber seal. I had a spare. The 4.4i was missing the button cover. He also jumped when I opened my X5 upper hatch. It flew wide open. I showed him the helper springs. He'll order new struts and helper springs.
I had to teach myself how to use the cruise control. It's a rare feature I get to use. No problem cruising 75-80 MPH on I35. Oil change due in less than 300 miles.
The AUX has a Bluetooth adapter. I replaced a XM radio frequency module with a Bluetooth one. Sound is crisp and clear. No sound fade or radio station interference. One less wire too. A USB-C oord provides power and signal. I need a longer cable though to tuck it away and reach the glove box. The flashlight key on socket powers the unit. It connects automatically to AUX. Next, maybe new speakers.
Reached a top MPG of 23.4.
