weird, I've purchased a ton of ebay parts for my E30 and E36 and never had a problem with them.

man you guys are beating me up over this X5, I expected a lot more "fun project" like comments. Lighten up, it's a $2000 X5, if I drive it for one winter it's paid for itself. I get to tinker with it and hopefully give it a little more life.
