My other problem was I couldn't get to the manual 'cuz the glovebox locked itself also.
Even my tiny Boxster trunks have emergency releases!
BMW Assist knew none of the info several of you posters have thoughtfully provided.
And naive me, I thought the service people they called might have to know some of it to qualify. But the second tow truck driver
was veeerry familiar with towing X5s. "Yeah, I tow 'em all the time."
By the way, I promised pin to pin info on relay failure. Sorry, there wasn't much more except Pin #1 to Pin #2 in the fan cut-out relay had no power.
