Hi all!

plastic and composite are totally different. lifetime warranty only applies to replacement part. collateral damage is not covered. at around 60K miles, take out the water pump bring it to parts with your reciept, get a new one. done.

Thanks for the heads up. Didn't know that you can get a replacement part without show prove of it going bad. It's an excellent deal if one can get a free replacement every 60k miles or so

Welcome. As a 'future' X5 owner, I look forward to joining the fray as well. My deal on an '06 should be settled by 8/26/09 (tomorrow). I'll introduce myself then. In the meantime, good luck with your new vehicle!!
