New whip - 2006 3.0i

[audiophool]

Some of you know the trouble we're having with our old X5. Here's its replacement. 2006 3.0i with 154,000km. This one has more options than the old one, including running boards, headlight washers and PDC. Another bonus is it has a Dynavin N7 in place of the OE stare-e-oh.

I have to put a replacement schnozzle on the left high beam washer and the PDC is making an odd noise when engaging, and doesn't seem to be functioning. Not sure the issue, but not a deal breaker.

Aside from those minor flaws, this one drives like new and is smooth and powerful. It got the Biesan VANOS o-rings a while back too.


I'll keep working on the old one as it will likely become a 'first car' for my son. He says he doesn't want it as it's a 'mom mobile'. Poor boy - a BMW for his first car. Boo hoo.
