Hey guys - Quick update. Turns out the first X5 I was looking at wasn't as great as I thought, and backed out of the deal. Needed way too much work, and just didn't feel comfortable about the quality/level of work that was to be done. So...

I found and picked up another one. A very special one! Found on Craigslist and reached out to the fella - Turns out, it's owned by the tech writeup guy at BavAuto! Bavarian Otto's personal X5. It's been the subject of NUMEROUS how to videos on youtube and their site - including Vanos rebuild. This puppy has pretty much everything replaced.. and documentation? Well, I have an entire youtube channel documenting it LOL. Have a look, made the trip out to NH this past weekend and picked her up with the wife.

Mats have been swapped for BMW winter mats and the chrome bezels I just yanked off this morning! Not a fan of chrome at all - luckily he kept the painted originals, and it was a quick 5 minute swap.

I have watched many of Otto's videos. Some just for learning. Great find!
