Things on the 3.0 that go that shouldn't. Oil Separator, oil filter housing gasket, window regulators, door handle carriage - drivers, CV boots at least in hot and dry AZ. After 8 years of having my 2001 x5, I finally found that Pelican Parts has the best parts. I got the following and they have NO dust and no rust and brake unbelievably great. I won't buy any other from now on.
