Good luck. Let us know how it goes.

I know! He had meticulous records of everything that was done on it. He bought it CPO in 2010, so it was under the full warranty until 11/14 and everything was done at a dealer in Seattle. Then I saw that invoice and my jaw dropped. That was from a place here in Indy called Import Specialists Inc DBA Sleds and Treads. The kicker is that when they reinstalled the fan shroud, they didn't connect it at the bottom properly so it got pulled into the alternator and cut a hole in it! Needless to say I won't be going there. I used AutoHaus Merkle for a valve cover gasket and CPVC system last winter and they were pretty fair.
After he laid down $4200 for that, he sold it to me for $12K two months later!
I found a place online that was parting out several wrecked X5's. Going to check around for a used HLA if I can verify it is fully functional. As info, I used the BMW PNPC tool and found that Husker BMW has OEM part # 63117166817 for $1160.
