The other thing I am worried about is the cosmetic and corrosion abuse on the vehicles that I see on the roads here. How do you keep your X5s nice? Do you recommend a clear bra to minimize damage from the stones, sand, etc on the road? If so, can anyone recommend an installer in Calgary? One more - do you recommend any kind of undercoating to inhibit rust?
Welcome to Calgary my Friend

I drive on the deerfoot every day 3 to 4 times a day about 30 to 50 kms so yes i have clear bra on my 01 X but not on my 04 4.8is cus i dont drive that in winter time at all.
