New X5 Owner and new Member here from Arizona

Hello to All,
I'm a new X5 Owner of a 2001 X5 4.4 Sports Package with Premium Sound. Black with black interior, (not the best pic for hot and sunny Arizona!). I bought it on July 4th and have enjoyed every minute that I'm behind the wheel! This is the finest automobile that I've ever owned. I'm a former Chevy Truck, Toyota 4 Runner owner. I drove the same Chevy Truck for 17 years!
I bought this one from a friend that was the original owner and took great care of it as he owns 2 other cars and divided up the mileage between them. This was just below 36,000 miles. He was trading this in on a new Toyota Tundra truck, I worked a deal with him and bought it outright. I'm a proud Papa!
I installed a new pair of front Michelin Diamaris and have been reading here a lot of the problem with camber of the rear wheel axils. I will have that corrected asap.
I also bought an Extended Warrantee, 3 yr/30K mile, from of all companies, General Motors!
GMPP, ( GM Protection Program) offered a really good price and all the coverage bumper-to-bumper that I will need for the next 3 yrs. I'll report & post here my experience as I need work done and how I'm treated by the BMW dealership locally.
1st week I owned it I had my trial-by-fire to be a new X5 owner, Window regulator went T-ango U-niform. I didn't have the warrentee inplace yet. Cost me $360 from a buddy to replace it. I wasn't about to take that apart and do it myself in 114o heat! I saw the new posting with the great pics and instructions on regulator replacement. That will be a keeper for me.
I'm glad I found these pages and will be intouch and a contributor of information that is fit for the pages here.
Here's some pic of the new wagon. I'm loving it!

Yes, I'm in the downtown area. I'm around the corner from Joe's Pizzaria.

Thanks to all for the hospitality. This is a great forum.
