newbs first post...

Hi all,
This is my first post and I just want to thank all of you who have made postings/articles on this site. It’s incredible! I bought my black 2001 x5 3.0i a couple of months ago (long awaited self bday gift) and I can’t tell you how many of the postings have helped me. Just a quick recap of what i’ve done based on the helpful info on this site:
- Full tranny flush – 3 flushes with a filter and gasket replacement on the 3rd (original ‘lifetime’ oil was black!)...
- Cleared SES light – uh... several times.
- Reset service interval light (after the tuneup etc was done - holy easy!)
- Removed door panel and replaced window reg...
- Tuneup (oils, spark plugs, etc)
- Upgraded to K&N filter
- Replaced microfilter (put a carbon one in)
- Repaired rear brake light. Uh... and then repaired the other one.
Ok – so as you can see there was a bit of work needed – got the vehicle for a steal and now that it’s ‘renewed’ I love it! It was a dream vehicle for me, so I couldn’t be happier.
I plan to post some questions in a bit – there are a few, so I’m sure I’ll be chatting with a few of you soon enough...
Cheers,

a.

:welcome: Hi dib,
Welcome to what's probably one of the best (if not the best) web sites one can go to with queries if you own an X5. Sounds like you've been busy.
A picture (or photo's) paint a thousand words, show us your new ride.......
Good luck.
