I recently serviced my excuse generator, added synthetic oil and had the speed knob expanded to go to 11.
Rotational assignment for 4 months. Drove b/c I wasn't going to give my dogs to the airline folks in July in Vegas. Limited room in the apartment for tools and definitely no room to park a trailer around here (Pentagon City).
So far so good except for all the darn "marches" on the mall. Can't get a day down there w/o some group of whiners clogging everything up while they trash the place. This Saturday was horrible. Place was a pigsty by noon and they wouldn't get out of the way for the vets who were visiting the WWII memorial (actual WWII vets). Pissed me off (my father is a WWII vet).
Anyway, back to the X5. I'll do the full cooling system work as you suggested once I hit 80k miles. Probably do plugs and fuel filter at the same time. Already did the diffs and transfer case. Trans was replaced under CPO recently, so it's ok for now.
Have you seen the cooling system age out before hitting miles? I may not hit 80k for a year or so and the '05 X5 is a 11/04 production model.
