I don't understand why one would want to be a part of the forum or own a X5 if they are all such a money pit.
Canadian-boy, I have had very few problems and am north of 108,00 miles. Stick to enjoying your new X. You might have some problems, you might not. You can deal with it if it ever happens.
It would help to know on a 1-10 how comfortable you are DIY. We don't know how you pulled the codes and quite often some of the codes are symptoms rather than causes. JCL has offered good advice, before throwing parts at it to see if one of those darts hits the bulls eye, see if you are enjoying your X a little to much with your right foot. If you are sure that is not the problem then we can provide you with a troublehooting sequence that will have you replacing as few parts as possible to fix it.

It's ok x5SND didn't scare me or say anything I didn't already know. As far as DIY there's not a problem for me to do small things maybe to answer ur question 7-10 my capabilities. as long as i have instructions i can manage. I pulled the codes from a generic OBD2 wifi reader through my IPhone.
I originally had a P1092, P1419 and the Po141 codes when I bought the truck. Through trial and error and reading the forums, I ended up replacing both Maf sensors and cleared the codes and now its just my P0141 keeps coming back. I've been browsing prices for the o2 sensors and Bosch are 75$/ea sounds right? Those seem super simple to change, pre-cat anyways, think I just need the special tool right? I will change spark plugs too? Haven't checked but that should be simple enough to do aswell? These are things that should be done at 110k anyways, so I might aswell. Any specific or recommended plugs I should buy? Thanks again for the help
