X5 3.0i One Year of Ownership

[richardb]

So it's been about one year since we purchased our 2005 X5 3.0i! I put together this playlist of X5 and M54 specific repairs that I completed over the last year. Here's what you're in for if you buy an X5 without maintenance records:

^^Your videos are great richard - I've watched a few, and probably will use some more to do some items preventatively - (aux fan and ignition switch come to mind)

I remember my first year of ownership, getting "caught up" on maintenance - it gets better, trust me!

I've been watching your vids and learning so much! Thank you for taking the time to make the vids and sharing them!

I'm getting ready to do a front suspension refresh since recently I've been getting a wobble while breaking. Also it doesn't help that I put bigger wheels & tires.

Please keep making vids and posting them... Thank you
