I wonder if anyone avoids or, on the contrary, has no problem with those automatic car washes that auger your vehicle along while it's in neutral via a chain-driven gizmo?

Not that the shifter on the X5 is overly complicated and perhaps the jockeys may be used to this type of shifter by now but I personally would not consider using this type of car wash on my vehicle.

My X5 has not arrived yet (2 more weeks) but I do not anticipate running it through one of these types of car washes after it does arrive. I will go for the wand wash or the touchless one that travels around your vehicle when parked.

Any comments on car washes?

I see there's a polling option but I don't think I'll tackle that just yet - still figuring out how to nav around the forum.

p.s. If this gets double posted, what the heck am I doing wrong?
