Fluids. Definitely not the tears of mechanical elves. I'm certain that the failure on my last 4.8is was directly related to the donkey who owned prior to me thinking it was ok to run extended periods without change. Everything I either own or have owned has had a major fluid service every two years and the oil gets binned at 5K kms - smart money in my mind.

Soooo! Here you go. Some good and bad re the dealer (specifically asked for the M Badges to be removed...., The head unit turned into a cash cow for some reason, and still needs to be sorted...But!
Picked it up on Monday, flew in and drove home home. It goes. Nicely. Here are the pics upon arrival at the dealership. Love the LED lights on the back.

Can't post photos because 'security token missing' and emails to admin bouncing back?

Thanks Chemist. I'm glad you like it, because the wife is less than thrilled.

Looks like it's going on the market.

Wow! Gook luck! I like to work on my own vehicles. After watching a series on a Maserati timing chain fix, I won't complain about X5 work! I thought a 3.6L Acadia timing chain was a PIA. The Maserati beats it hands down. I could do the 3.6L GMC again in half the time.
