Sorry, not filling out the sig is such a newb thing to do. I will get it fixed.
2004 X5 4.4L (200k) and I am having start issues just as those described in the TSB about the levers. Only on one side, it starts fine then runs like crap and I get faults for bank 2 then it misses and clears up and runs great till you start it again. Seems there is a bulletin for this that symptoms seems exactly like those that I am having. I plan to change a few thing and I would like to get the starting issue resolved while I am in there. If I cant do them on the car then I am thinking about pulling the engine and doing a full rebuild. The rest of the X is great but I bought it used and it has some maintenance that didn't get done over the years and a few oil leaks that I hate.
