X5///M - Underneath Pics

HIRISC · #1 10-07-2009, 07:15 PM

Was detailing the rockers of the X up on the lift and thought I'd take a look at the underneath.

Pretty impressive (and clean for the moment) technologically under there. The oil change looks simple (even if it's included in the first 4 years), but the suspension is not for non-trained.

The exhaust looks like it could be pricey to replace. We'll see

Won't stay clean for very long around here. Where you live too

I ran out of garage space last year and the best solution (and a good excuse) was to get a four post lift. It's awesome for detailing, storage, and wrenching on cars that I can still work on (not the X5///M).

Agreed! I never thought I'd use a lift as much as I do! Simple things like swirl mark removal, waxing are SO much easier - my knees thank me daily, haha.

Thanks for the pics! Until our X6M arrives, we will have to live vicariously through you and the other lucky ones who have already taken delivery..... *green with envy*

Not yet. I haven't been in contact with my service advisor in a few weeks. My own fault, haha.
My wife is buying the X6M for herself - as soon as she heard there was an X6 that might be able to take down the new M3 in a straight line, she immediately said "Ooooooh....... REALLY....." (I think it took exactly two days to get the order placed).

I love my wife, haha....
