Danny's X5 4.6 Thread

[BimmerBreaker]

Man those illuminated door handles are not cheap are they? Fixing up some odds and ends on this thing, bought a seat memory module thing as well.
Wood trim on the driver's door is cracked, steering wheel could use a re-wrap, nav screen has a melted spot, other than that, she's in excellent shape

We're going to give it a good wash tomorrow and I'll show Graham how to take care of the paint so that it stays nice for a long time.

Keeping a black car clean in AZ (especially one that isn't staying in the garage) is a fool's errand ...but one I will happily partake in

Maybe I'll pluck one of the coupes out of the garage and do a fun little photoshoot once the X5 is clean. They'll look like siblings!

Nope, something like $60/ea. They are fairly easily repaired though if you are so inclined. I bought one originally and then repaired the one I removed. I keep this one as a spare. The little light pipes break at the slightest breath when you remove the door panels.
