well guys and gals at this time i am no longer an X5er. Hurricane Sandy has flooded my Babies, 2005 X5 and a clasic cruser motorcycle. she is beyond repair. flooded to the roof with salt water. i hate to think what it would cost to repair. OH btw, I did not have full coverage on her, so she is a goner.. At this time i dont know what the future holds. i just bought a 1998 honda civic for $1500 in good mechanical condition to take me through the winter. Even though i no longer have a Bimmer i will still check in. who knows maybe i will be able to afford another in the near future Over the years you guys have been a great help and extreme fun to hang out with well keep up the good works and keep the information flowing. I will keep in touch
