New guy

Been lurking a bit, but finally joined up. Looks like an excellent site for people like me that enjoy fixin as much as driving these fantastic machines.

Just got an 04 X5 with 120K on the odometer, sport package and DSP audio/wide screen nav for a song, well actually 6K.

A list of things I have done already; replaced nav screen because of dead pixels, changed trans fluid and filter, it had the symptom of delayed engagement into reverse and fwd. when the pan was dropped the filter just fell out, and fluid was low & brown instead of red. new filter and fluid have corrected that problem. Next was oil change and filter housing seal change, seal came out in about ten pieces .. very crispy. oil leak solved. The temp sensor was throwing codes and leaking so that was also replaced.
updated nav software and obtained the newer maps discs that helped that system out a lot.
One last thing I have to fix is the adaptive headlights .. that should be fun ..
Oh and a question if I may, anyone using the GROM adapter for bluetooth phone and music?

Anyway Thanks for an awesome site, I hope I can contribute as others have here.
